Part 6
~*~*~*~*
Poor Rosie. She's been ill, you know -- something called "Strep Throat." It makes her very untalkative, and she coughs and sleeps a lot, but she assures me that she will be well very soon. I hope so, as I have so much to share and I find it very slow-going to type up my journal entries myself. The keyboard is just too BIG! I have to walk to and fro to strike the letters, and it takes an effort to press them in as well. Such a bother being so small! It is much easier when I can sit on her desk and talk while Rosie types away.
I have been amusing myself today by exploring her "Lord of the Rings Shelf." She has cleared one of her bookshelves of books (now piled on the floor waiting for relocation) and has arrayed some of her Tolkien merchandise on it. In the background is a lithograph ("lithograph" is a fancy word for picture, I think). Rosie told me this is one of several lithographs she received for becoming a charter member of the "Fan Club." She showed me the other lithographs and I agree that this one is the best one. The one of Saruman gave me the shivers! Anyway, this one shows the nine members of the Fellowship, in Rivendell. Sam has a typically suspicious look on his face, and my own face -- well, let's just say that I had no idea then how bad it was going to get! Perhaps if I had....well, no, it needed to be done.
Also on the shelf, she has some books and such. the Movie Guide, the Visual Companion, the Fan Club Magazines (first two issues), an issue of Cinifex with the cave troll on the front *shudder*, an issue of Variety with Sam and I embracing on the cover *awwww*, The Lost Tales I and II, two boxed sets of The Lord of the Rings (one looking very old), and a boxed tape set of the BBC version of the Lord of the Rings. She also has all of the unabridged tapes by Rob Inglis, but they do not fit on this shelf and are housed on the shelf below.) Leaning against the books is a CD soundtrack case from The Fellowship of the Ring. Bilbo is on the cover, but there is no disc inside. Rosie told me so. It is in her computer. Standing on and around the books are Rosie's action figures. I am gratified to tell you that she has a Sam! She also has a Frodo, a Merry, and Pippin. These four are all lined up on top of the BBC tapes box, wielding swords and looking fierce. In front of them stands Gandalf, arms spread wide, sword and staff in hand. Next to him is Legolas, who Rosie says is her second favorite action figure. He has arrows, knives, and a bow, and his hair is looking very good, if I may say so. On down from Legolas is the Aragorn action figure (rescued from Rosie's "work" for the summer. He is larger than the other figures, but as he is the King, is seems not out of place. Beyond Aragorn is Rosie's favorite action figure, Asfaloth. He does look magnificent. Upon his back are Arwen and another, small Frodo. I spoke with each of the action figures, but they are not a talkative bunch (with the exception of Asfaloth, who would not shut up about Glorfindol!), and I soon found myself desiring Rosie's company again.
I do hope she gets well soon. She told me that we can organize all of her trading cards and put them into a notebook together, once she finds a card-organizing binder. She also promised to take me shopping with her, although she cautioned that I must remain hidden in her purse while we are in Toys R US, so they will not think me stolen.
p.s. (Rosie snipped the little threads holding my suspenders to my shirt. Surprisingly, they do not slip off my shoulders as often as I would have expected.)
