Nicholas was...

older than sin, and his beard could grow no whiter. He wanted to die.

The dwarfish natives of the Arctic caverns did not speak his language, but conversed in their own, twittering tongue, conductd incomprehensible rituals, when they were not actually working in the factories.

Once a year they forced him, sobbing and protesting, into Endless Night. During the journey he would stand near every child in the world, leave one of the dwarves' invisible gifts but its bedside. The children slept, frozen into time

He envied Prometheus and Loki, Sisyphus and Judas. His punishment was harsher.

Ho.

Ho.

Ho.

Which Annoying Two Towers Character are You?
By Lisa

Oh, and on a slightly related not. Was discussing TTT with flickums and she says Faramir is hotter than both Legolas and Aragorn. Anyone care to comment/discuss. I haven't seen it yet so I can't give my thoughts.

Grr!

Trying to do a bit of writing and all I can hear is Jet Li pounding on people in my living room. Still, I'm on the computer so I guess that's a plus

A quick message
