A bit apprehensive (another meme)

I got this from bluestocking79, who has answered some very fascinating questions in a most articulate manner, in spite of having the flu! Here is the meme - I've seen it before, but never dared to do it:

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So ask me something you want to know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

Yes, it is actually like that. The beautiful fall colors - which are also all around down here in southern NY - are commonplace throughout the Northeast, and especially anywhere there are sugar maples. And you can get great seafood throughout New England (just as you can throughout England!), from my home state of Connecticut, on Long Island sound, right up through Maine.

My favorite character in Tolkien's epic varied with my age. As a child, I think I may have loved Legolas as much as my sister did; I also loved Eowyn. Then Aragorn was my favorite, and then Faramir, whom I still love (I still love Eowyn, too). But, nowadays, Sam Gamgee is my hero.

Wow - so the leaves thing is actually for real? That's lovely.

I think that's the thing with Lord of the Rings isn't it? There's different things that one can take from it as grows and changes. Did the films do the book justice for you?

On a slightly more lowbrow note, I thought that Faramir was a poor neglected darling in the film. ;)
