I couldn't find my wallet when I left home this morning >_< I don't remember leaving it anywhere, but it wasn't in the bag I used yesterday, nor the coat pockets. It wasn't on (or under) the bed, the desk, or the floor. I quickly checked my accounts using internet banking, and no money has gone, so it couldn't have been stolen I guess. Must still be somewhere inside the house.

And I'm in comp lab now waiting for my group mates to come prepare the presentation together. Just sitting here idly, reading my friends' LJ's, and suddenly realise that there's no earring in my ear!!! O_o" How long has it been since I dropped it? This is baaad news, coz by the time I get home to put something in, it'll most probably be closed up, that stupid hole.

Reading The Two Towers now. The books aren't as bad as I thought, but the characters are really... flat. I guess characterisation isn't the main thing in the books.

But can someone please tell me, why do people refer to the author as J.R.R. Tolkien? They don't know how to spell his first name? X_x" Or are all the 3 initial his first name (instead of first and middle names), so it's too long to say or write?

[edit: found my wallet XD]

It's like setting out to write the complete history of the world, but only having enough time during you life to get one war published

Yes!!! That's the feeling I'm starting to get as well, and no doubt the feeling will get stronger as I read further ^^" Gollum hasn't made a proper appearance yet, coz I only got to the beginning of the Rohan bit. Frodo and Sam are a bit more alive than others. And I'm really pissed off that in Lothlorien it's said that Legolas often brings Gimli somewhere, but they don't tell you what they do. And apparently after that, they've became fast friends. Arrrrrgggghhh what the hell happened??? I want to know~~~~~ >_

the two of them do get very close very quickly ^_^ They're the closest to canon slash pairing, other than Merry/Pippin. Aragorn/Legolas is pretty much films only in comparison.

I keep meaning to find and read all of the 'Unifinshed Tales'. They're more written by CHristopher Tolkien than JRR, apparently, but again more background info.

*has now gone past the part where they say they'll visit the caves of Helm's Deep and Mirkwood together* Gimli and Legolas. Canon pairing!!! XD
