Birthday present for one and all!

Day after day, he sat at the window, watching the wind move through the wildflowers high on Mount Mindolluin. Sam felt tempted to fret, but the silence that surrounded Frodo seemed not unwelcome. When he finally asked, Frodo nodded.

"It's restful just to sit here. Please don't worry."

True enough, for his eyes shone clear and quiet. Sam took the injured hand with care. "You're not in pain?"

Frodo smiled. "Not at all." The grip on his wrist tightened, and Frodo's eyes went wide.

"Ah, then," Sam murmured, his tone changing along with his gaze.

It was a long night.






Just a drabble. I wanted to write something more, but the Muse was out partying, it seems.

Plus, I saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind today, and that kinda blew out all my mental circuits. So I'm afraid I'm not very creative right now.

*sigh* Maybe I'll manage some kind of review of the movie in a day or two.

Naked Frodo pic? Did I miss something?

Seems you did!

Frodo in the all-together

Green Ghost is, as the young people say, da bomb.

Omg that is just sooo mmm and sooo right. It is lovely.

Happy birthday, again, dear! *loves*

Thank you again, hon!

Hobbits getting hot and bothered, yum. I love it when Sam takes the initiative. Grrr.

This is just lovely, Serai--no small mathom, this, but a nice gift indeed!

And a most happy birthday!

Purr!

Oo, thank you! For the kudos and the birthday wishes.

By the by, I've been meaning to ask you about that lovely big illo on your RoP title page. Is there a map or something that can tell me just who is who in that pic? So many great faces, but I don't know how to cast them!

Re: Purr!

[identity profile] willow-wode.livejournal.com 2004-03-24 09:52 am (UTC)(link)
You are welcome--well deserved!

The RoP title page now also has the 'key' to who is who--scroll down a bit and you'll find it in the text just above the navigational buttons.

(Glad the lovely leaning pic got to you okay--it's scrumptious, isn't it? Not sure exactly where or why it grabs me, but it does. Hard.)

Oh, it is, it is. You're right - it gets to me too. Something about the openness of that lovely smile, the affection in the pose. Such a sweet heart, literally. And yes, I think you should manip it. Or I could give it a shot, if you want to send me the Sam pic you mentioned!

Thanks again, and a big hug!

Oooh, yeah.

And happy birthday too!

*that could be continued, you know. just sayin'*

Re: Oooh, yeah.

[identity profile] serai1.livejournal.com 2004-03-23 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! Yeah, well, tell that to the Muse. I'm not a sequel gal, anyway - some things just stand on their own. Besides, that's what your imagination is for! ;)

Re: Oooh, yeah.

"Oh really now," she purred, and slunk away to her keyboard....

Uh oh! This sounds dangerous...

Hello!

[identity profile] sleeplessmarea.livejournal.com 2004-04-04 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello there, my dear Oscars-in-Hollywood-snake-charming-TORN-party- going woman!

Happy Birthday to you! I wish you a pantry full of mushrooms and taters and apples and cellar-full of old Winyards. AND some hobbits to enjoy it with.

Now, where's my mathom? LOL!

A question... is it possible that I doing something technically wrong here, or is it simply that your LJ is configured in such a way that it is not possible for me to "friend" you?





Hey there!

[identity profile] serai1.livejournal.com 2004-04-05 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! It was a pretty nice birthday.

I meant to email you to thank you for the nice review of At Last, but I'm absentminded. Sheesh. So I thank you now!

There's no way to keep people from friending you, so maybe it's an LJ glitch. Your post here took a couple of days to show up, too. Try friending me again. Maybe it'll work this time.

*hugs*
