    Lord of the Forums/RPF's thoughts

    I liked the books and the movies. For those who never got into the books, there are differences. Anyway, after reading that LOTR is racist thread I got to thinking about the books and started thinking about which character I would be.

    I also got to thinking about what character some posters here would be. I see a lot of Boromirs and a few Wormtongues, too

    Who do you think you are in LOTR?

    I think I'm closest to Galadriel. I can block my mind off to the influence of others (just ask my teachers) and I know I couldn't handle the One Ring.

    No one's really playing my Lord of the Forums game so I have to label everyone. I've been rethinking you - maybe a Gandalf.

    I think Swordsmith is a Boromir.

    He has some pretty good quotes " I wish I was home in my nice hole by the fire " . I remember thinking something similar when I was in the Army , freezing , with no reprieve in sight . " Books ought to have good endings " , a view I share . " Not all those who wander are lost " . I spent a lot of time wandering , looking for things of value , knowing I was so close and was not lost yet hoped I appeared to be just a harmless , lost stranger to anyone who might be watching . You do not really want anyone to know when you score a gold nugget
