She came over last night with a nice baggy of very lovely weed, and a present wrapped in shiny paper - a complete set of the little bitty Fellowship figures! And they all have little pieces to stand on, and weapons they can hold, and Gandy has a staff and a pointy hat and everything!
I squeed a lot, and we got high and had great fun taking them all out and setting them up. We got into an argument over what order they marched in, so of course we had to get out FOTR and look up the Hero Shot. That led to watching the rest of the film. Neither of us had watched it in quite a while, so we squeed over the Balrog and discussed things like the color of Elvish hair (which we decided was a color that doesn't occur naturally in humans), and how Sean Bean actually managed to make a likeable guy out of grumpy, pompous, xenophobic, priggish Boromir (quite the most amazing character feat in the whole film, in my opinion).
( Spike also regaled me with a fascinating concept that she'd had lately on the Elves... )TO all of you who replied to my post yesterday, thank you so much. I'm feeling better and just putting it behind me. It sucked, but hey, shit happens. At least I've got my frinds. :)
