Lord of the Rings



I've mentioned LOTR in one of my previous posts, and I hope that gives you a little insight into one of my many passions (or some may say, obsessions.)

These things include, but are not limited to, Lord of the Rings, Aragorn from LOTR, Enrique Iglesias, Crystal Castles, buffalo wings, Rusko (and dubstep), Old Spice commercials, Stefan of SNL Weekend Update fame, Sven Kramer (Dutch speed skater), french boys on Segways, Land O' Lakes salted butter, apple sauce, bananas, Skinny by Ibi Kaslik, and Bright Star by John Keats.

Actually, I LOVE Bright Star. If any of you are interested, you should go get a copy at Barnes&Noble (no way I'm parting with mine); I have a membership card if you'd like a discount. It's absolutely beautiful. Lovely. Funny (only at one point when Keats says "burple" instead of blue or purple.)

I'ts my precious.

Yes, many of the above makes me seem hormonally charged teenage girl (true) and one of those girls that announce to the world their inside jokes to the world so it seems like they have a life (also true), but sometimes you have to let things go.

But you know what you can't let go?

LOTR themed baked goods.
Waddup Sauron's Eye?

Sauron, you'll never faze me with your gaze...

When I was in the 5th or 6th grade, I took a small key chain and colored it with a gold Sharpie and carried it around my living room pretending to be Gollum (hiding under the couch, making caverns out of cushions to crawl through, practicing my crouch...)

That's right I was cool.

This was also at a time in my life where I didn't eat icing (too oily) and I didn't use salad dressing (covered up the natural flavors of the vegetation I was eating.)
I have come a long way (like, 40+ lbs. of long way.) But that's okay, I was the size of a garden gnome then, so weight gain is completely normal...

I threw a lot at you, eh?

I truly love you all (if you've read this far), and I'm really excited to see you all bright (not groggy) at the Mel's breakfast on friday!

Keep eating,
Steph

P.S. I hope at least one of my two readers got my Gollum joke(way up there.) Otherwise that's just awkward.
