It is impossible to tell for sure isn't it?

Thank you all for the wishes! - especially for the well-wishes!

Happy birthday! That's an excellent speech but I think I've heard it somewhere before! ;-) Are you plagiarising?

I found a cute little personality test site that tells you which LOTR character you are. It's called the LOTR Personality Test and it's at this site: Hobbit Lore

It's kinda fun....I turned out to be Frodo, lol...

I took the test and surprisingly I am most like Galadrial. I guess I am more elvish than I first believed. I thought I would be more like Sam. Maybe that's why I like Legolas so much. hehe :D

I don't remember it from the movie, but would it be like the salute to each other that fencers do at the start of a match, guard of sword to the nose then a swish down, then start the match?

Hmm, I got "Dwarf", so I guess I'm short, bearded, and good with an axe. Not sure this test is all it's cracked up to be!

Interesting that the test finds Aragorn to be parallel with Sauron...

That sounds about right to me...hmmm, wonder where that tradition came from...

You see it all the time in swashbuckler movies. The style of it is a bit different, but I think it probably all comes from the same tradition.

Well, Frodo is paralleled with Orcs, so who knows how they figure that part...

Galadriel

Now that is very interesting - exact same result as me! Must be genetics, eh sis?

That picture of Rivendell is really beautiful and it doesn't surprise me that it's much like the one in the movie! PJ seemed to have a real knack of taking what Tolkien was describing (and what we obviously all saw so clearly and similarly) and putting it up on the screen!

I can't wait till December!

The cliffs and river look like that shot of Rivendell in the movie where you see the Elf (scout?) riding along that road to the right.

I posted the link to that site at the Yahoo Hobbit Hole. I haven't looked at all the pictures yet.

I took that personality test a while back and it told me I was most like Merry! I liked that!

Either it's genetics or we are just too much alike. (Which can be good or bad depending on how you look at it. :D ) I need to have greater_vortex (husband to those who don't know him yet) do the test to see if he is what I think he is.
