Ten Years

[grav_ity]

Ten years ago, it was a Wednesday. And my life changed forever.

I have SO MANY THOUGHTS, you guys. SO MANY. I may be back to say something profound later.




(In an amusing coincidence, Mark Reads starts Fellowship today. The list of "things he knows" is somewhat funnier than usual.)

I cannot remember not knowing about Middle-Earth, and Gandalf, and Hobbits -- my mother reading my brother and I The Hobbit is one of my earliest memories. I first read The Lord of the Rings when I was 11 or 12, and I did have to stop for a bit (like, a day) after the bridge at Khazad-Dum because Gandalf was my very, very favorite character, and it wasn't until I peeked at the appendixes and knew how that came out that I dove back in & finished the set over the weekend.

Foundational books to my life, in many ways.

OH, GOD, WHEN GANDALF DIED? I CAN'T EVEN. I was DEVASTATED as a kid. And I still cry every time in the movie. Just...yes.

(Mark Reads is going to FLIP OUT.)
