Guardian

What I had not counted on
was how much I would come to love him.
How good and strong he was,
how well-placed the fate that
rested on his shoulders.
True, he could be foolish,
they all could, walking
heedless and enchanted into danger.
But there was neither guile
nor deceit in him,
nor any taint of darkness,
any evil.
It might have made me careless,
my love for him.
Instead, it made me watchful
and determined.

From the outset, I was determined
not to fail.

That I liked very much! It's about Sam, eh?

Is it about Sam?

Right on the money, K. It could a number of people outside the Fellowship, as well. I will say that it was inspired by a certain character, but who I think it is doesn't matter. It's who the reader thinks it is that counts.

I'm glad you liked it!

Um, by the way-does my gold ring make me invisible or give certain um-side effects when I put it on?

(visions of Elijah in TTT when the winged Nazgul approaches-*gasp*)

I'm at work, trying to look busy. Tough call, actually. Not a whole lot to do here. Which leaves me lots of time to surf for hobbit porn!

My best friend Spike and I are probably going to a flick tonight, but I can't decide what. I don't think I can talk her into Spy Kids 3, even though Elijah's playing a takeoff on Neo and Spike's a Keanu fanatic. (She's learning the charms of Elijah, but not to the extent of putting up with a whole SK film.) Any suggestions? We've already seen POTC twice.

How about you?

went to work-was pestered by co-workers to do drawings of horsies when all I want is to draw pervy hobbits-speaking of which I have a lovely naked wet full length Frodo to scan and put up on the net this week.

yum yum yum
