| Auto Posting from lotrfanatic.comHey all you xanga n00bs. It looks like my auto-posting from lotrfanatic.com has been going crazy lately and isn't working. Along with that, it appears that the great people at xanga have disabled the function that I used to forward this page to my website.
I have lots of work to do right now so I don't have time to fix it, so if you'd like to get updates feel free to choose one of the other options on my site - (http://www.lotrfanatic.com/blog/subpages/subscribe.php)
Or just check back every once in a while etc. It looks like I may soon be ending my use of xanga if I can't fix it - but who knows.

Okay so I've recieved multiple complaints on my last post that I didn't give any weird or otherwise crazy pieces that I have about myself relating to Lord of the Rings...why you ask when I am "The Lord of the Rings Fanatic?" Well I'll tell you why - quite honestly I didn't think it was necsessary. Everyone who reads this blog knows that I love lotr and thereby I didn't think that I needed to tell anyone that...I mean really. But obviously, this was not the case and so perhaps I'll just be forced to give you a list of my top 6 weird and otherwise random facts about me relating to Lord of the Rings.
6. I have read the Hobbit twice and only the Lord of the Rings once, sadly never the Silmarillion. This is a faliure on my part and hopefully in the near future shall be rectified. All of these books deserve reading more than once or even twice.
5. I have seen each of the three lotr movies several times in theaters. I would tell you how many but I don't remember, and whatever the number is - its too low due to monetary concerns.
4. I do not own and never plan to own the theatrical version of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I waited to by the movies until the Extended Edition came out nearly a year after their initial release, and wouldn't go back to the theatrical version if you paid me.
3. I have seen every extra on the first two Extended Edition dvd sets, and most of them on the third. This includes the commentaries.
2. I have seen The Hobbit in both its cartoon video form, and its stage production form. Neither were very good, but somehow I love the video...*breaks into song* "The greeeaaatest adventure...lies up ahead..." I also own a copy of this movie.
1. I can quote nearly every line of the first two movies and many of the third while watching the films. This hasn't been tested in a while, and probably deserves a rewatching of the movies, we'll see if that actually happens sometime soon though -> for some reason my friends don't often pick lotr as the movie to watch when I'm around. 
There is everyone happy now?? haha Have a day! | | |

Alright FINE! I'll do it...*lowers head in shame* This will be the one and only time I shall ever fulfill such xanga desires of others as to respond to a tag. So you can read my 6 responses here, and if you ever decide to tag me again, well you can come back here and read them again. You've been warned.
six random facts about me:
6. I first started to learn an instrument at the age of four.
5. I was born in Pennsylvania and have since lived in 4 New York locations.
4. I have traveled to over half of the United States and to 7 foreign countries.
3. All it would take to win my heart would be to make me a strawberry pie - sorry ladies, someone has already done this.
2. I was on both the soccer team and track team in high school - yet, I hate running.
1. I can say all 27 books of the New Testament in order in under 9 seconds -> thats right, beat that one!
There ya go - enjoy, and anyone who wants to be tagged may say so - and I'll still choose not to tag them. | | |

Well here we are at last - year end and with the conclusion of another Lamoka staff party. This time it was back to Mel's church to enjoy said get together, and it of course included to begin with - what else - but volleyball.
Many of you went, some of you didn't -> it was great fun though. I must say its been a long while since I've seen most of the people there and...well yeah it was great to see all ya'll. Perhaps I'll have some pictures to post of the event as soon as I collect them from other people's cameras haha. It was great though to sit down with a group of friends that I haven't seen in a long time and it was like no time had passed. We joked, laughed, played some super awesome games, and just overall had a great time.
Due to the nature of this website I find it necessary to tell of my victory in a particular board game. A while back I reported on how I defeated all others in a game of Lord of the Rings Risk, thus holding on easily to my title of lotr fanatic. Well I've one-uped that yesterday. I played Stretch and Joe in a game of Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit, and true to form I won. I'd like to say it wasn't close, but the truth is that Stretch lost by only a little bit...and well Joe was a distant third (he will tell you he was leading at one point which was true). But in the end I reigned supreme and owned them with answers to questions that they would never have dreamed of knowing. Including the answer to the final question "for the win." For those of you interested the question was, "what was the number on Sam's mailbox." My answer and the correct one: "three." Thank you, and goodnight. | | |

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
