[Nimrodel of Lorinand]

*Steals toast.*

*Applies butter and freshly made oregonian blackberry jam.*

[OrionsGift]

Ooh, I like Apple Butter. I also enjoy grape jelly. 3nodding

*Shares her ill-gotten toast with Orion.*

Blackberry is where it's at, babe. cool

[OrionsGift]

I'd say grape is superior.

*munches on toast*

[Nimrodel of Lorinand]

Meh. I only consume grapes in a fresh off the vine format. No jellies, jams or juices for me. xd

And Raisins are grapes with their souls sucked out. eek

...

*Nibbles on her toast.*

Fresh Homemade strawberry Jam is really good, too.

[OrionsGift]

Raisins are gross.

And the only kind of jelly I'll eat is grape. o.o

I really like the fox because it seems like one of the only solid connection to "The Hobbit," style-wise. Yes, Bilbo, Gandalf, Gloin, and the ring are in both, but the style changes drastically even for them. I hardly recognized Gandalf as the same guy! "The Hobbit" was filled with more out-and-out magical things like the fox (talking animals, talking wallets, human-animal transformation...), whereas in LotR magic was much more subtle.

I'm not saying either style is better, but it does make "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" seem like they take place in two entirely different worlds. That's why I think things like the fox and Tom Bombadil are in the beginning of the first book but seem to disappear after that: to ease the reader's transition between these worlds.

Was he in The Hobbit as well? (Long time since I read).

I meant "like the fox" as in "similar to the fox," the things in the Hobbit were very much like the fox, not that he was actually in the Hobbit. Sorry, I didn't even notice the clarity issue in what I wrote until I re-read it a billion times. Until now I just thought, "What are those guys talking about? I didn't say that."

[Nimrodel of Lorinand]

I understood what you were saying, Eol.

Oh! Did you hear? Your son is getting married! Er, or he may already be. They kinda eloped as their union was a bit frowned upon. sweatdrop

Raisins are evil mad

They're the only dried fruit I won't eat. Craisins are yum, dried cherries are yum, prunes and dried plums are yum, dried apricots are yum.

I don't like grape jelly. It's too.. Jello-esque for me. I prefer jam over jelly anyways. *Defines jelly as seedless and jam as with seeds. Has no idea what the actual specifications are.*

I've recently begun prefering strawberry jam over raspberry. OME. I really want toast with jam now. I think it's all packed, tho.. crying

Maybe we have peanut butter..

*Goes to look*

[OrionsGift]

I never understood why everyone had to persecute him.

When I'm not in the mood for jelly toast, I like mine sprinkled with butter, cinnamon and suger. 3nodding

*can't stand peanut butter*

Is he really? Hmm. For some reason he'd always struck me as having an Oedipus complex.

[OrionsGift]

It started out as a joke, but your son took it seriously. He started planning a 'surprise wedding' for the said person who was pretending to be Idril. Then said prankster started liking Maeglin and wel... sweatdrop
