Where would you live in Middle Earth ?
I think I would like to live at the Grey Havens beside the Great Sea or possibly in the living memory that is Lothlorien.

Well in real life I love staying by the sea, but still I would go to live at Rivendell. Nice views, interesting people, good entertainment... And for partying go to Bree and spend a weekend now and then at the Prancing Pony.

What about Erebor, The Lonely Mountain, in the Winter ? A Three month long bash of tales and beer with those hardcore party-meister dwarves, with skiing or sledging down the mountain as a hangover cure. LOL

Somewhere on the Land of Gift in the East.

The 'Land of Gift' is the English translation of Andor, a Sindarin name. It was one of the names for the island upon which the realm of Númenórë was founded. I have an 'Andor longing', I guess, though I am more interested in the history of the First Age of the Sun and all the long Ages of the Stars and the Trees before them.

Númenor' is just short for 'Númenórë'. I meant 'some place in the East of Númenor'. That is where -- I think -- NÃ*simaldar and Rómenna ('fragrant trees' and 'Eastwards', respectively) were to be found. To but read about them is to inhale the sweet fragrance of the trees of the forest and the waters of the Sea, most fair of Nature's provinces.

Lorien, of course. I'd like to stop by the Shire, too, and the Grey Havens. I could probably live in the libraries of Rivendell for a few months as well -- shelves and shelves of books about the histories and lore of Middle-earth! woo-hoo!

Oh that's right...I'd go to school at Rivendell!
I really wish The Lord of the Rings was real. But that would mean Mordor and Sauron really existing... and I KNOW it's impossible...but I still can dream, can't I?!

I personally love many places in Middle Earth. I would live alternately in Fangorn, Lorien, Minas Tirith, the Lonely mountain, the Shire, Rivendell.

I'd live in the Green Tookland in the summer, Cool nights out on the green lawn of the Tookhouse staring up at the stars and warm days exploring the woody end, and at times spending a week in Buckland swimming and boating in the Brandywine, and exploring the warrenlike halls of Brandyhall.Then I'd go east to Erebor for the winter and listen to the tales at the feasts of the mountain. Then to fair Rivendell for the spring to listen to the elven singing and to join in on the choruses under the stars in June.

Hobbiton. It's close to everything and just far enough away from all else.
