Plus it isn't that far away from Rivendell, which would be a nice holiday

I donĀ“t have a favourite place - I want to live everywhere at the same time. LOL
But I would want to live in the Shire as well as being able to travel and live in Rivendell as often as I can.

I have to agree. The Shire would be my choice, with an enlarged Hobbit home for me built into a hillside. Rivendell would be nice as well!! I'd be in paradise!

I would like Gondor, whether you believe it or not. The rich history, and the pride of men. Also, you're able to ride horses and go on adventures, whil in the Shire you just eat, plant your garden, tell stories and walk around. Might make a good retirement home.

ROHAN![/u]
Rohan is my idea of paradise (the book Rohan, not the film Rohan - although Edoras was superb in the film). There is very little description of Rohan in The Two Towers, but there is a lot more in one of Tolkien's own reference volumes; The Unfinished Tales. It tells of the culture, the people and the military organisation of Rohan.
Honestly, the people of Rohan are the only ones in Middle-Earth that had any sense. LOL.

See, just because I'd live in The Shire, dosent mean I'd stay there all of the time. I'd travel all over Middle Earth, go on all kinds of adventures, but when I came home, there would be nothing to wrry about, just pure peace!

BUT, if you lived in the Shire, that means that you would be a hobbit since hobbits don't like the big folk running around the place. And hobbits don't go on adventures, unless you have Baggins blood of course.

I guess my very existence in Middle Earth would be blashpmous, lol.

Yup, if you were there, elves would be riding around in star ships right now.

LOL That reminds me of a funny Star Trek/LOTR parody, I'll have to find it and post it. However, if living in a certain area dictated what species I was, then perhaps I better move, as if I were to be a LOTR species, I would more then likely be an Elf, I think. .. .

However, if living in a certain area dictated what species I was, then perhaps I better move, as if I were to be a LOTR species, I would more then likely be an Elf, I think. .. . I would rather be a man. Men are the most exciting race in Middle-Earth. They rise up to crush thier foes when it seems that they were unable to do so. The argument concerning the Elves and thier 'perfection': Well, perfection is imperfect, and boring. The Noldor were more excitable, with thier Oath of Feanor etc. made them more determined and more directed. The Elves of the latter days simply seemed to live out thier existence in Middle-Earth, then more on to thier 'retirement home' if you will, that being Aman. The Sons of Feanor were also not resilient to evil as well, as these modern elves can seem to pull of. The last two Sons of Feanor (Maedhros and Maglor) both swore an oath to retrieve the Silmarils and in doing so, committed evil deeds that, once they got hold of the Jewels, were unable to touch them, because of the evil they had committed. I think one of them died trying to get rid of it, and the other lived out a life of pain and suffering. Yep, that's exciting. Back to men. They were not too bright when it came to assualting Valinor, and when Numenor sank, the remnants of that great realm, led by Elendil, in Middle-Earth tried to restore the glory of Numenor in the form of the Kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor. Both Kingdoms faded, but Gondor did not fall, and the focus of the third age was the restoration of Gondor, and ultimately the return of the true High-King, being Aragorn II. There was none of that with the Elves, oh no. Let's just keep ourselves to ourselves and forget about everyone else, even if it means being surrounded by darkness. Lets look after number 1, and not bother about saving Middle-Earth, leave that to the Men (who rose to become the rulers of ME). I don't like the Elves of the Third Age (the age in The Lord of The Rings) ... Rant mode: OFF
