Why don't I do a personal quote instead? I like this one: "My mind has touched the farthest horizons of mortal imagination and reaches ever outward to embrace infinity." -Erik from Suzan Kay's Phantom. Isn't that a lovely piece of prose? I guess I can give you a little information about myself. I'm female, 17 and I've been a LotR lover since I was 4. (my dad read the books to me) I've also been a Phantom Phan since I was 10 when Mrs. White made us listen to the Andrew Lloyd Webber muscical in music class. So, I fell in love with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman. This also led me on to a love of various other ALW musicals and introduced me to musicals in general. Thus, I've also loved Les Miserables since 7th grade and read the book in 8th grade. (which led to my love of other Boublil and Schonberg muscials and a love of Victor Hugo) Because of Les Miz, I also love Terrence Mann and Geoffrey Rush. (both of them played Javert, Mann in the musical and Rush in the movie) Because of Geoffrey Rush, I saw Elizabeth and now I love Cate Blanchet. She is playing Galadriel in the new LotR movie, so it's really neat how things went around like that, isn't it? I also love Claude Rains, but he's in no way connected to LotR. I just thought I'd mention him while naming all my obsessions. They're all pretty healthy obsessions, wouldn't you say? By the way, Elrond is my favorite Lord of the Rings character. I am the official "Miss Elrond Freak". (Oh yes, I am also obsessed with Hugo Weaving) *smiles*
