Do you have a favorite race among the denizens of middle earth? If so,
which, and why? Do you identify with that race? Is there a race which you
either dislike, or have no feeling for or don’t feel you understand
sufficiently? If you are a writer, which do you prefer to write (if any)?
This one is almost too easy. If you know anything about me you know that I am in love with the elven race, that I want to be an elf, or at least have the pointy ears. I want to spend my days in the forest, walking silently but moving like the wind, I want the power of the elements, and I want to be immortal. Well, not really, but you the idea. And I have to say that I’m not all that fond of the dwarves, although Gimli turned out to be a pretty ineresting fellow…and if you’ve ever felt need to wander over to moonstone you’d realize I have a penchant for pointy ears. And believe it or not, there will be an elf coming sometime soon. For the etoilines are elenohtars, not elves, if I may mix my languages there. (car’etol and quenyan, I think ) Eventually it will all get written down. Sigh. So yes. I love elves.
and I’m an engineer. I realize life loves to be ironic.
