Day 4
Frodo
Today we went through large forests. Aragorn carried me, without me asking. At least I think it was Aragorn. Getting hard to tell which is Aragorn and which is Jack. Oh, yes. This is Aragorn. Larger sword (pause) if you know what I mean. It was a nice break just the same. Aragorn being overly friendly lately. Elizabeth lady seems nice, a little too personal if you ask me. Her pinches hurt. Won't leave us hobbits alone. Sam will kill her if she tries anything. Also, she would be prettier if she shut her mouth. How does she do that anyway?
Gimli has started asking us dress and hair tips. Not sure why. He used to ask Legolas. He said something to the extent that we were lucky to look like hobbits… Legolas showed Will how to tie a bandana properly today, while Will showed Legolas how to wear his overly large hat properly. Big hat kind of a turn off. Bandana not half bad.
In other news, Jack said something about running out of rum. Aragorn's first reaction was to run to the nearest tree and knock on it. Then he took three large, drunken, steps, jumped a couple of times, then opened a door that led into the ground. Jack asked him how he knew. Aragorn's only reply was "Rivendell Cinema". As he handed Jack a bottle of rum, Jack whirled around and yelled "WELCOME TO THE CARIBBEAN!"
Merry and Pippin grabbed a bottle for themselves, and soon we were off again. Sam has been most kind, offering brotherly back and foot massages. Skin starting to hurt because of excessive rubbing. Ring starting to feel heavier. Or maybe it's all that rum I drank…I wonder if we'll ever get to Mount Doom. Aragorn isn't his usual tracking self and Jack is following a compass that doesn't point North. When pointed out, he replied that we weren't trying to find North. Think ring may be starting to affect him too.
