"You lot. You spend all your time thinking about dying, like you're going to get killed by eggs, or beef, or global warming, or asteroids. But you never take time to imagine the impossible. Like maybe you survive."
~Doctor Who

"Nothing in this world that's worth having comes easy."
~Scrubs

"When you can't run, you crawl, and when you can't crawl - you find someone to carry you."
~Firefly

"Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live."
~Mark Twain

"Porthos dreams of being a bear, and you want to shatter those dreams by saying he’s just a dog? What a horrible candle-snuffing word. That’s like saying, “He can’t climb that mountain, he’s just a man”, or “That’s not a diamond, it’s just a rock.” Just."
~Finding Neverland

"Sometimes our best decisions are the ones that don’t make any sense at all."
~How I Met Your Mother

I have a dream ... or wish, more likely ...

This thought has been growing in my mind for a while now (He He ... a shadow and a thread has been growing on my mind ...*lol*), and you may think me crazy but: I wanna meet you all. Seriously, I'm not only saying this. I mean apart from Steph (which is juast SUCH a shame :o( *hugs* but you can always come over, you're very welcome at my house ;o) ) we all live in Europe ... and after all, Europe is not THAT big. We definitely should meet ... in one or two years. I mean - it's not impossible, is it? And I'd give anything to see you all in person...

Yep guess this was the most important thing of the day ... plus I finally got a 'kind of good' idea for a novel *wink*

Today's LOTR quote...

I really like this description of Merry and Pippin ... so ... enjoy!

As they walked they compared notes, talking lightly in hobbit-fashion of the things that had happened since their capture. No listener would have guessed from their words that they had suffered cruelly, and been in dire peril, going without hope towards tornament and death; or even now, as they knew well, they had little chance of ever finding friend or safety again.
The Two Towers, Book Three, Chapter III - The Uruk-hai

Thoughts...

Eve of Destruction - Barry McGuire

The eastern world, it is explodin’.
Violence flarin’, bullets loadin’
You’re old enough to kill, but not for votin’
You don’t believe in war, but what’s that gun you’re totin’
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin’

But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction.

Don’t you understand what I’m tryin’ to say
Can’t you feel the fears I’m feelin’ today?
If the button is pushed, there’s no runnin’ away
There’ll be no one to save, with the world in a grave
Take a look around you boy
It’s bound to scare you boy

And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction.

Yeah, my blood’s so mad feels like coagulatin’
I’m sitting here just contemplatin’
You can’t twist the truth, it knows no regulation.
Handful of senators don’t pass legislation
And marches alone can’t bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin’
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin’

And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction.

Think of all the hate there is in Red China
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
You may leave here for 4 days in space
But when you return, it’s the same old place
The poundin’ of the drum, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but don’t leave a trace
Hate your next-door neighbor, but don’t forget to say grace
And… tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
You don’t believe
We’re on the eve
Of destruction
Mm, no no, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction.

Isn't it scary how things don't seem to have changed at all since that song was written?

For Maia ... to guess ... :o)

Maia ... you begged for it ... guess this :o)

~This is the hour of the Shire-folk, when they arise from their quiet fields to shake the towers and councils of the Great. Who of all the wise could have foreseen it?Or, if they are wise, why should they expect to know it, until the hour has struck'~

Last one for today ... are ye ready Maia? :o) Guess this ...

~A strange expression passed over his [Gollums] lean hungry face. The gleam faded from his eyes, and they went dim and grey, old and tired.~

This might be a hard one but if I'll give you more lines, it will give you away to much ... still... any idea? :o)

Uhm ... yeah...

Bit of a shock, eh? Well I SOOO wanted to change the 'post a comment' text, so I finally discovered I had to switch from Style 2 to Style 1 (took me quite a while to discover THAT :o) ) on which account I lost all the colours I had chosen for the last one ... so I had to re-design the layout which is a bit harder with this style than with my old one ... anyway ... I finally got an individual comment text so I'm really happy :o) And I can keep woking on the colours after all! *lol*
