What do you have in common with Tolkien's characters? Here are my responses...and if you think of one that I don't, feel free to add to the list in a comment.
Of course, because it's *me*, they are mostly First Age/YT characters :)
First, the obvious: Finrod Felagund: Well, we have the same nickname ;) Besides that, we are both blonds. We both tend to be overly devoted to our friends, putting others' interests before our own.
Turgon: We both like to live in our own little world. (But we will come out--for the right reasons.)
Feanor: We are both high-strung. We tend to take things personally when, perhaps, we should not. We both tend to become overly absorbed in our work. We are not trusting of authority. We tend to be mouthy and both have been known to call people "jail crow of Mandos."
The Valar: We're all awed by Elves!
Elrond: We both love books and libraries.
Ecthelion: By Ecthelion, I mean the Elf, not the man who stole his name in the Third Age. We both have interests in fountains. Of course, his fountain has water in it while mine has ice cream! Plus, if I were to do something heroic--like saving a city--I would probably also follow it up with something stupid. Like drowning in my heavy armor.
Balrog: If you've ever seen me when I get hungry and my blood sugar's low, then you'll understand the connection.
Nerdanel: We've both been called unattractive at points in our lives. (For the record, I was elementary age.) We are both proud of our physical strength: I used to be able to carry sixteen gallons of ice cream at a time! In some places in the world, this is a handy skill ;)
Elves: When I first heard of the sea-longing, I said, "But of course...." I have had sea-longing my entire life.
Maglor: I'm usually the pansy in the group going, "Now, that's not nice!" Our ethics often trump logic. Silmaril theft or everlasting darkness? Unethical choice or everlasting darkness? Hmmm....
Finwe: I seem to get stuck with the job as mediator, even when I don't want to be, between the Feanors and Fingolfins in my life.
Laiquendi: We all love trees! Yes, I am a tree-hugging dirt worshipper ;D
Luthien: I completely understood why she forsook immortality for love.

Date: 2005-09-23 02:14 am (UTC)Devoted to the Valar...and married to the man who defied them.
A craftswoman, a wife, a mother...of independent spirit and yet obedient to the Valar.
I never get tired of writing about her. As you can probably surmise :)
Oh, I might not have your icon first thing tomorrow, as I am ready to drop from exhaustion about now....
New character:
Miriel: We are both about to drop from exhaustion right now ;)

Date: 2005-09-23 03:23 pm (UTC)(BTW, I am getting around to posting something I wrote and was going to 'give' you for your birthday, but not only did I start it late, but it turned out to be a bit longer than I expected and I'm still working on it. *blushes* I did note the date, (unless I have confused myself totally this time) I was just too useless to say so at the time, sorry! *hugs*)

Date: 2005-09-23 03:38 pm (UTC)Aww, sweetheart, I'm sorry. ::huggles Maglor:: To be fair, I called *myself* a pansy too, and I meant it in only the nicest way!
BTW, I am getting around to posting something I wrote and was going to 'give' you for your birthday
Thanks! :) Don't worry about it being late; I am honored that you are writing anything at all!
And you will have to tell me your birthday so that I might return the favor, unless you're already in the database at the SWG :D

My birthday is July 6th, same day as Richard III was crowned in 1483 *grin*
Maglor: Good party, that was, as I recall.

Are you trying to assure that I don't make it to my 25th birthday? ;D

Date: 2005-09-25 12:04 am (UTC)You know, if you like the icon so much, I asked permission when I made it from all the artists and they gave it gladly.[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] helped me a lot with it, giving me contact addresses and such. I'm sure you could use it if you would like to and welcome. Let me know and I'll email it to you *assuming I can figure out how!*
