Biking, hiking, reading (mostly sci-fi/fantasy and mystery), knitting, cross stitch, playing WoW, enjoying nature, cooking, digital design, music, traveling.
First Lord of the Rings reading experience:
Age 11. I was given the books at Christmas. Instantly became fascinated with the story and especially the elves.
Favorite Tolkien character:
Gil-Galad. Ever since reading LoTR and Elrond speaking about him I had to find out more about him. This led me to read the Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales as well as other books.
