Hobbit habits

Day 4

2005-12-06T10:34:00.000-05:00

We ran into Merry & Pippin, literally over by farmer Maggot's farm. Frodo has been on edge for a while now. It's no wonder with those black riders after us. We nearly got caught by them when we fell off the ledge gettin' out of the shire. Merry and Pip are keeping the mood light. It's a good thing they don't know what we have to do and that Frodo has to carry this ring to Rivendell. I think this adventure is going to be a bit more involved than we thought. If we can just get to the Prancing Pony and talk to Gandalf again, I think Frodo will feel better. ~ Sam

Arrrrrghhh!!!

It seems I have needed much rest, I must go forth with the Elves on their ship. It has been a struggle just keeping up with one blog, much less two. I began this simply as a humorous aside, not knowing whether or not I could keep it up. Obviously, I can't. Bravo to MHN for trying harder than me! I shall pass the torch to her, then, if she wishes to continue it. This is just my formal signing off, cheers.

Day 3

2005-08-30T12:14:00.000-04:00

I'm tired off all this walking in the shadows. I'love to have the sun on my face, but Gandalf said to stay off the road. We are almost to farmer Maggit's farm. The trip is going well so far. ~Sam.

Day 2 Sam

2005-08-29T10:27:00.000-04:00

Hallo, My name is Samwise Gamgee! You killed my father prepare to die!

No. Wait! I was just kidding now...don't take on so. I just thought I'd throw a little Princess Bride out there. Are you really leaving? Well, you should probably go since we haven't posted anything in soooooo long. sighing heavily....

I'll start posting, really. Just show some interest, ok?

So, what was your name again? Oh, you didn't leave it. Wow. This is not going too well.

Well then. I guess I'll let you go.

for now...

Day 1. The Start of a Journey

2005-07-18T15:06:00.000-04:00

Last night's party turned out to be quite the affair. The fireworks were fantastic. No surprise there, Gandalf always has something special up the sleeve of his robe. Bilbo did the strangest thing at the end of his speech. He just ... vanished.

Later after the party, I was doing a little weeding outside of Bilbo's home. I could hear Gandalf and Frodo talking. Strange conversation they were havin'. Then Gandalf pulled me through the window and told me I was goin' on a journey with Frodo and I'd have to look after him.

We've just left the Shire...I've never been this far away from home before. Already, I'm a little homesick. I wonder what lay ahead.

Frodo seems a little nervous. Might have something to do with the conversation that he and Gandalf were havin'.

I Am Sam

2005-07-13T22:21:00.000-04:00

Hello All!
I am Samwise Gamgee. I am a gardener in Hobbiton, in the Shire. One of my closest friends is Frodo Baggins. He lives with his very old and slightly strange uncle, Bilbo Baggins. There have been songs written about Bilbo's adventures. Currently Bilbo is writing a book about the whole adventure he had with Gandalf the Grey and the Dwarves. Today is Bilbo's 111th birthday. There will be a big party and Gandalf with be bringing the fireworks. It should be a fun time for all. If I get enough drink in me, I might just ask Rosie to dance with me.

We are Gollum

BLOG!

2005-07-04T00:35:00.000-04:00

Well, okay, most wouldn't, but Bilbo and Frodo -- could you imagine their blogs if they'd taken a laptop with them on their adventures? Well, perhaps an invisible ipod... Can you imagine the hobbits dancing the way those ipod advert folks do?

Fireworks

2005-07-02T23:24:00.000-04:00

In the spirit of America's upcoming birthday celebration, we love it when Gandalf comes, especially with his dragon rocket!!!

Weed

2005-07-01T19:46:00.000-04:00

Smoking longbottom leaf... ahhhh!!! Didn't even need a hookah, just a trusty pipe and some good ale to quench the inevitable thirst.

OOPS!

2005-06-30T23:29:00.000-04:00

Well, I never set the "notification e-mail address" for this blog, I assumed it was the same for all my blogs, so I wasn't noticing that people were actually *commenting* on these posts. OOPS. Well, I've responded herein forthwith rightaway ASAP.

Sorry.

exercise

2005-06-30T22:30:00.000-04:00

I wonder what kinds of exercise are taken up by hobbits? Not physical ones, obviously...

sitemeter

2005-06-28T22:55:00.000-04:00

Trying out sitemeter.

Bakshi version

2005-06-28T22:15:00.000-04:00

Take a look at these, which I found here. Pretty cool, the top version is my first exposure to LOTR on film. I LOVED that version, still do! The live action by Peter is great and all, but man that animation was SPOOKY (the wraith scenes). Both have special places in my heart.

Help

2005-06-28T22:04:00.000-04:00

If you can think of particularly interesting hobbit habits, please comment here. I can start individual threads. I won't promise actual research or anything...

This is just an experiment. A fun one.

Hobbits Rule!

2005-06-28T22:01:00.000-04:00

Death to the Nazgul!

Long live Elrond... oh wait. Long live Aragorn!

Long live Gandalf the grey.. uh, white.. uh, urm, ... Gandalf? Gandalf?

Rings

2005-06-26T08:24:00.000-04:00

Unnatural obsession with pretty round things.

GOT IT!

2005-06-26T08:18:00.000-04:00

Just makin' sure I was first to get Hobbit habits. Now, to figure out *what* to post.

Until I do, check out my other blog.
