I know like the first two lines of :

"A! Elbereth gilthoniel

Silveren penna miriel..."

And then I gave them like the first two stanzas of the Lay of Luthien.

On a side note, work has officially blocked hubski????? So I'm going to be super quiet for the next few days I guess

Suckssss

Also, my first AOL screen name ever was "varnelockse," which means "brown hair." And I used to be able to write in Dwarvish.

This is all LOTR mythology btw,

I shall remain Galadriel, and fade into the West.

We haven't gone over the fact that basically all thru middle and high school I spent my one hour of alotted internet time on www.lotrplaza.com ? This is like, a heart to heart meeting of true nerds. I memorized the Lay of Luthien for class in 7th or 8th grade and gave an enthusiastic presentation on iambic hexameter and how Tolkien structured the stanzas so every 4th and 8th line of every stanza ended in an "-ing" rhyme - shimmering, fleeting, roaming, sorrowing, and so on.

Yeah, I was pretty cool.
