Speaking of Lord of the Rings, I was in an MSN conversation a while back with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nyalko80 and therealycats casually talking about various films.
A confession: I've never read the Lord of the Rings books.
*Shock! Horror!*
I just couldn't get into them. I tried, seriously, I did, but the prose style? Not for me. I mean, I recognise that they're very well-written, they have great attention to detail-- but I put the first book down halfway through, and never picked it up again, which is rare for me.
Anyhoo, I did love and appreciate the films. I loved Jackson's dark take on them, and was determined that, no matter what, I would see all of them and Avoid Spoilers at All Costs.
That was until my two friends said something like "oh boy, I can't wait for the third instalment, and to see how they do the bit where [Insert spoiler about Gollum's fate here].
Becky: AIEEEEE! No! You didn't just reveal to me the ending which I had up to this point known absolutely nothing about!
nyalko80 Um... you haven't read it?
Becky: NO! =:-o
therealycats Oh.
nyalko80 Erm...er...well, maybe we knew that, and we were making it up! You don't know for sure if that happens to Gollum.
Becky: *Cries* It so does! You're lying-- I can see it in your smiley's eyes.
Cute RotK. That bit with Gollum happens. Wow, I think, okay, so the second part of it happened, but at least he didn't do that chomping thing. Ha! In your face, spoiler gits.
And then it did happen. Pah!
*crushes their heads a la Lenny*

I nearly cut the top of my finger off today, isn't that cool? By the grace of God it didn't even break the skin, but it cut right through my fingernail. It's now super glued together until it grows out.
I love Pampered Chef kitchen knives. So sharp.

So...we're, like, talking and stuff. Would it be too presumptuous of me to add you to my friends list or would you simply prefer I didn't?

I'm too tired to do the exclamation point thing right now. And I just ate all my pork.

Raisinettes rule over everything else, though. No contest.
