hey guess what.....Yesterday I found my first ever copy of the Hobbit that I lost 7 years ago Yay!!!!!
Has anything like this happened to anyone else?!!! Or am I the only person stupid enough to lose something as precious as that (Its the one that was published for the 20th anniversary of JRRT's Death)?!!!

I let my mom read my version of the Hobbit. She massacred the book. And then I bought a four dollar one at a thrift shop. It turned out to be a special edition fiftyieth anniversary or something like that, that was being sold online for 150$.

I was pleased.

I found out that my parents had bought FOTR (AT LAST!), I discovered I'd watched FOTR more times than Evita or Jesus Christ Superstar (though it'll never beat my record for having watched CATS...24's a pretty impressive record) and yah that's basically it.

Arafangwen · 04-29-2003, 11:42 AM

24?! That's it?! I've watched numerose movies more times than that! Scooby-Doo for instance.... I love talking dogs! I've probably watched LOTR more than that also.....

GaladrieloftheOlden · 04-29-2003, 04:25 PM

I've watched Hocus Pocus about that many times... and that movie isn't all that great. *cough* stupid *cough* [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I liked Hocus Pocus. It's a good "no thinking required" relaxer. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

You'll hafta do quite a lot of watching to catch up to my X-Men record of 68½ times watching. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Anyway, back on-topic:

My sister had borrowed Fellowship of the Ring from the library and I stoled it and consumed half of it in the night (reading, not eating). After I finished the book itself, I gave it back and asked her to get me the others. She said that she couldn't do that because the library didn't carry them, which made me slightly depressed. However, one day, I came home from a trip or something of the sort to find The Two Towers and The Return of the King sitting on my bed. It turns out the library had purchased a few new copies of the books and I was the first to even open them. I felt rather special. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I have this pretty neat green hard cover HOBBIT book that i kept from my Dad, I'm rather fond of it....

Miss Morgul Queen, is your siggy in Hawaiian?

purplefluffychainsaw · 05-01-2003, 07:05 AM

OOkay, can I point out that I watch LotR EVERY SINGLE WEDNESDAY. And I read it at least once a month.. sorry, just thought tyou'd like to know that [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I lost my version of the hobbit once and rediscovered it a year later in my sisters room. After inquring I found that it had taken her a year to read the first chapter! I almost killed her...

Rindoien, elf of Lothlorien · 05-01-2003, 07:08 AM

I have the LOTR, TTT, ROTK, The Hobbit AND The Silmarillion all in the same 'edition'. Black with pretty patterns and stuff. Aaah, I love my copies of the books [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

My story is a sad one. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] When I was a foreign exchange student many long years ago (there were dinosaurs in Costa Rica then), the only book I took along with me was, you guessed it, The Lord of the Rings. I lost count of how many times I read it through that year, but lost interest when I fell in love. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] At the end of the year, I had to leave, but not everything fit in my suitcase. I asked my boyfriend to keep my copy of LOTR until I came back. I knew that I would come for the book, even if the relationship went sour. Well, I did...15 years later. Not only was the jerk married, but he'd lost my books! Imagine! Not waiting! Well, I got the collector's edition in the meantime. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Morgul Queen · 05-02-2003, 02:20 AM

No actually its Maori, (te Reo for kiwis) and its the native language of Aotearoa's natives the Maoris (for all those ignorants Aotearoa is the Maori name for New Zealand, Personally I like Aotearoa better, Its like choosing between the name Egmont or Taranaki, go for the Maori name every time)

if any-one wants a translation PM me [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Also to save the inquiries- my avatar is of My Kapa Haka Group, which is my cultural group, If anyone has ever seen a All Blacks rugby game and seen the Haka has a vague idea of the dancing that goes on (although the All Blacks can't dance to save themselves when it comes to it, the Ngati Porou WOMEN are better and they AB's don't even finish their one
