Why does everyone hate me? I mean really. It's not my fault that I'm short and ugly and hairy and smelly. The hobbits are short and hairy, but everyone thinks they're cute. Not me though. I'm just stupid Gimli. Especially that poncy elf. He thinks he's all high and mighty......... well, he is rather high. But everyone is, compared to me. Except, of course, the hobbits.

I'm so under-appreciated. It's becoming ridiculous. If I were to die, they'd be sorry. Hmm......... that's an idea. Maybe I should die. Well, not actually die, but pretend to. Then they'd see. They'd realize all I'd done for them, and they'd see.

For example, who was the first one to notice the crebain? Aside from Legolas. He's an elf. Extended eyesight. True, I wrote it off as a wisp of cloud, but still.

And on the mountain. Well, I didn't really do much on Caradhras. But I did suggest going through the mines. Although then again, that did backfire somewhat, as it ended in Gandalf's demise.

But in Lorien! I tried to warn everyone about the elves there. Nobody listened, but I tried. Of course I was wrong, and the elves were very nice and helpful (not like SOME I could mention) and Galadriel was actually very, very beautiful.

Well, after that Legolas was nicer to me. And I killed several orcs. Not before Boromir died though.

Maybe I SHOULD kill myself. Oh bloody hell. There's a sequel. Damn. And a sequel to that one. Double damn. Ah well, maybe things will brighten up when we reach Mordor......... and maybe the hobbits will sprout wings, stop eating, and stop whining.
