Getting back on suject, I would probably spend my time learning as many songs and tales as possible. After all you never know when some dusty old legend will jump to life to get you.

I would get into thematic debates with Elrond.

i think gandalf said something to pippin about wasting time there.

if YOU were there, the lowly mortal that you are now, and you were going to be a member of the fellowship what would you do with the time there.

i'd train in arms with glorfindel ( he killed a balrog)

i'd ask for elven arms and armor

i'd gather all the healing herbs and knowledge they could put in my mortal brain. ( if they could teach me healing spell that would be even better)

would have studied and brought maps

would have had a standard role\players adventure pack i.e. (rope mr.samwise)

would have daily strategy meetings about what way to go, what to do, how to fight the various enemies of the Eye

and of course try to get an elven girlfriend

spent time in the library also

I'd stalk Legolas, and ask Elrond if Elves have pointy ears, and ask Glorfindel if his Balrog had wings.

And the youngest age is not 12. I'm 11.

viggosbeard · 04-23-2002, 10:51 AM

37 - but you lot have just made me feel about 90 - shouldnt you be at school or something - Im skiving at work , but you can do that when you pass 35 , its the law.

p.s. Wasnt there 2 glorfindels - I thought the one who killed the Balrog at Gondolin died in the attempt - can anyone put me straight - or has my mind started to play tricks as dementia sets in.

afro-elf · 04-23-2002, 10:55 AM

glorfindel didn't kill the balrog, that was his first age namesake

I am at school, I'm homeschooled. I'm supposed to be writing a description of a bamboo plant.

I taught I was one of the various enemies of the Eye.

Seriously, I'd propably start practicing anything I'd think I'd need to know on the way to Mordor. At least combat and geography...(Far-Harad? But I was going to Mordor!

).

BeardofPants · 04-23-2002, 04:02 PM

Hide all their pink strawberry scented soap for a start.

Hmmm.... I'd probably debate with Bilbo, and any number of other people, who just happen in my path.

Elf Girl · 04-23-2002, 04:08 PM

I'd protect Frodo from his fangeirls!

viggosbeard · 04-24-2002, 03:08 AM

you could make a bow and some arrows out of your bamboo plant and become a skilled elven archer
