Distracted By Something Shiny

It's two very special birthdays today! Happy Birthday to the Baggins Boys - Frodo and Bilbo!!

I would like to take a minute to thank both Frodo & Bilbo, as well as Professor Tolkien, for opening my life up the way they did. I fell into fandom when I discovered ER fanfic online, so yeah, maybe I would have gotten this into fandom through other avenues, but I can't imagine it would have been such a welcoming open environment as I found in the LOTR fandom. So I guess this is also a 'thank you' to the LOTR fandom, for being my first fandom-family. Today is a celebration of all of you out there who have dipped a toe or burst your way through the fandom door. And a celebration of green rolling hills and muddy dirt roads and glittering caves and snowy mountain tops and rushing waterfalls and every road Tolkien took us down.



"You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”" - JRR Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

I didn't keep my feet, Professor, and I am glad of it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BILBO & FRODO!! It's that wonderful time of year again. The time for mathoms and tea and Gandalf's fireworks and those pesky Sackville-Baggins raiding our pantry! Happy birthday to the Ringbearers!





I made this! Want, Take, Have, you guys!

In other news, I made a Tumblr. /throws my hands in the air/ I know! I know! Don't even...just, yeah. I'll probably have more to say about this rabbit hole in a few days, when I've tried it out more. But in the meantime, if you are a LJ peep of mine and you have a tumblr, you can follow me - (I am dodger-sister there - here) and then drop me a comment in this post and tell me your tumblr name, so I know it's you and I can follow you back - (my plan is to only really follow my LJ peeps over there, don't wanna clog my dash up too much, in some ridiculous attempt to not suck all my time - shut up, I hear you all laughing at my naïve innocence). So that's a thing I did.

HAPPY HOBBIT DAY, EVERYONE!
