Almost completely inactive now, but I log on when I remember to
Complete Lord of the Rings fanatic! And Nerd (beware)
Please feel free to chat to me, I am always happy to talk
Arise now, arise, Riders of Théoden! Dire deeds awake, dark is it eastward. Let horse be bridled, horn be sounded! Forth Eorlingas! (J.R.R Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King - Book V - Chapter 5 - The Ride of the Rohirrim) My favourite line in the series lol
Three rings for the Elven-kings under the sky
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone
Nine for mortal men doomed to die
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie
One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them
One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie
All that is gold does not glitter
Not all those who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither
Deep roots are not reached by the frost
From the ashes a fire shall be woken
A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be the blade that was broken
The crownless again shall be king
