...Why does it seem like most of my blog posts start kinda like that?<br />
I guess a few things have changed since I last blogged. I graduated, got a job, moved to Germany, became a Bible school student. The other day I went hiking in the Alps. Ate German schnitzel a few days before. <br />
Even as I write those words I can hardly believe it. I always thought Bible school students were those grown-up cool people who know exactly what they're doing with their life. And that person is definitely not me. Perhaps slowly, though, I'm loosing my preconceived notions on what I'm supposed to be like. Because most people around here are in the same boat as me. :)<br />
<br />
Let me tell you wee bit about school. Bodenseehof is located in the quaint suburb of Fischbach, right on the edge of Friedrichshafen. We're about a seven minute walk from the Bodensee (Lake Constance in English) and we can see the lake from our dorm-room windows. This year there are 108 students at the school, from Canada, USA, Germany, Latvia, Israel, Russia, Malaysia and the Philippines. (Those first three make up the majority of the kids.) <br />
<br />
I absolutely love the environment here. The lectures are so insightful, my fellow students are awesome and as for location, it doesn't get much better than this. :) I am so blessed to be here, and God has flooded me with such peace. I know each and every day is in His all-capable hands, and it's the best feeling in the world. <br />
<br />
I will try to keep up with my blog whilst I'm at school, but bear with me if I fall behind. I'll try to post pics from time to time too. If you're friends with me on Facebook, you'll probably find a lot more pictures over there. If you're not friends with me on Facebook, I may accept your friend request if you ask nicely. :3 Necesity<br />
<br />
For those of you that have been praying for me, thank you most sincerely! They've made a huge difference!Anna-kinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15090160560957180753noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874418004318381743.post-22712178734353967702012-03-26T16:00:00.017-07:002012-03-26T23:17:32.530-07:00Thoughts on The Hunger Games<a href="http://hungergamessingapore.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/wpid-the-hunger-games-poster-world-will-be-watching.jpg?w=604" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 100%; "><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 740px;" src="http://hungergamessingapore.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/wpid-the-hunger-games-poster-world-will-be-watching.jpg?w=604" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 100%; "><br /></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><span><i>Winning means fame and fortune.</i></span></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><span><i>Losing means certain death.</i></span></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><span><i>The Hunger Games have begun...</i></span></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-size: 100%; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><span><i><br /></i></span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-size: 100%; "><span>I think at this point most of you have at least heard of the Hunger Games and probably have a vague idea about the plot. What's that? You say you've never even heard of it? Well, that's okay. To be perfectly honest, I hadn't heard of them either until a month ago. But it's high time you became acquainted, if I do say so myself. True, I don't know you, but I think there's something in these books for everyone to learn from. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-size: 100%; "><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-size: 100%; "><span>Let me give you a brief overview of the plot in case you don't already know.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: normal; font-size: 100%; "><span style="font-style: normal; ">Katniss Everdeen is a sixteen-year-old girl living in District 12, the coal mining district of Panem. The fruits of the district's labors are all sent to the Capitol, in exchange for a meager amount of food. Every year the Capitol holds the Hunger Games, a televised event in which twenty-four children (one boy and one girl "tribute" from each of the districts) are thrown into a massive </span><span style="font-size: 100%; ">arena and forced to fight to the death. The day of the reaping has come, when two names will be chosen from the list of children ages 12-18.

Last week I completed the final instalment of the trilogy. And yesterday I watched the film. My feelings of excitement and anticipation were mixed with some nervousness. What if they do a terrible job staying true to the book? What if the acting sucks? What if my brother starts dancing a jig in the middle of the film and gets us kicked out? Well, perhaps that last one wasn't real big on my list of reservations. However I was somewhat unsure of how I would be able to handle the violence and intensity. I'm quite a squeamish person, and while there's a lot of things I can read about in books, I don't really want to be watching them on tv.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-size: 100%; "><span><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-size: 100%; "><span>Surprisingly, the movie was incredibly true to the book.

We were exciting to try something new, but a little unsure of what "adventures" our new accommodations had in store. We'd been told ghostly stories at Buenas Nuevas of American teams who'd cry all night because of Campamento Bethel not living up to their urban expectations. But we were Canadian, and surely if anyone could rough it, we could. :) Four hours and a car collision later and we were welcomed to Bethel! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPPBTy67ND88Z8VA6964GwMihCzoBy1V48SJdexEr3veHX2VOpzJTY9oLZaOpWnWkm2gDRaazHBQv7xYo434B2Tsr766gIbjEx0IhdRBddevBizNM5oXC6IYtyZHj6scTU4L9at0dGzOY/s1600/IMGP8627.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPPBTy67ND88Z8VA6964GwMihCzoBy1V48SJdexEr3veHX2VOpzJTY9oLZaOpWnWkm2gDRaazHBQv7xYo434B2Tsr766gIbjEx0IhdRBddevBizNM5oXC6IYtyZHj6scTU4L9at0dGzOY/s400/IMGP8627.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722810099394944482" style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a> </span></div><div><span >To be honest, I was a slightly disappointed to find that we not only had beds to sleep on and delicious food to eat, but also a working toilet at our disposal. (No pun intended.) The camp was very nice, and the people we met there were amazing. Our main goal in San Juan was to build a house. We had two days to do it. No big deal, right? I build houses in my sleep. However, it became apparent on our first day of work that this would not be possible. We worked hard for four days straight (managing a break on Sunday to visit the mayor's mansion and have a BBQ and pool party.) and in the end, we did not finish.<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKzWX862jPzRCaeSRsTd9NL2DfctVeuflr-MejyZPvn83hmC_ktxcZjm89r-Z_MWhb9l8iHhjU3KmkaO2NK2yooyrziKPI89S06PXg9_-6vo9P8Mr86XkF74q-iE2K1ghgmaEv0s_Zttk/s400/IMGP8534.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722807145748353138" style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /> But it was okay. The the family for whom we were building the house now has all the materials they need to finish up the project, and in the mean time I learnt some invaluable lessons. Patience was a big one. Oh, and contentment. Smack me the next time I complain about slow internet or left-overs, 'kay?</span></div><div><span ><br /></span></div><div><span >On the 27th, after a quick trip to visit the Haitian border and do some shopping, we bussed back to Buenas Nuevas. It surprised me how much it felt like coming home. We didn't have time to do much more than eat supper, have a meeting and go to sleep. The next day was jam-packed with finishing up our incomplete projects. I think we pretty much finished though! At least, as finished as anything ever seems to be in the Dominican. ;) Canadian standards may be set a little higher. <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJet5_oM99bARjdBHruFtkJKhgH7YFAzBnHgPdiVdhosUMJSS9piXmGTw70AHsAzZJcDvDUpEdOQEvGr_C0orXJCpxh8O5sGcCUngzSSfncbdAuTU3TNmC_0FPKZI_9Ba-sVYTjWDjAr4/s400/423848_377257738970429_170005963028942_1344053_145601569_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722788598984236914" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></div><div><span ><br /></span></div><div><span >On the 29th, we were picked up by our rental bus (same bus driver who caused the car accident a week before) and we drove to Punta Cana for a day at the beach! Things didn't go quite as planned; Our ride was an hour late picking up and the sky had patchy clouds. But it was very enjoyable regardless. I learned how to barder (best done in groups of 3 or more), bought some trinkets for my family, and swam in the warm ocean waves. <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL544ihu_FwlPBK1CW5peqljCNJpiwNQYTcydnqKeGrTj9PrA-swQvDxV6gaCvxBuu2or1Tv1LYP_NezFv0NtNiVkX0VUZiQtneNc_otP14o7dRfgAzuzUCcXgq_2KQfmOQAFEX9K3HQc/s400/IMGP8729.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722788618038045330" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /> </span></div><div><span ><br /></span></div><div><span >After a less-than-ideal sleep in a hotel bed from 12:00 am to 5:00 am, the fifteen of us packed up our belongings and drove to the airport. Upon arriving, we were welcomed by the news that our plane had been delayed five hours. More patience training. So, what do you do with yourself while waiting for a late airplane? Not as difficult as I would've suspected, actually. I doodled, journaled, read The Hunger Games and drank a merengue. In no time at all, we were able to check our luggage and board the plane. More good news after boarding the plane: "Hello, this is your captain speaking. Due to a malfunction in one of our fuel tanks we'll have to make a stop in Orlando. Sorry for the inconvenience." No inconvenience, really. It left more time for reading. <span><span >(<i>What's going to happen to Katniss and Peeta?!</i>)</span> </span>We arrived in Edmonton about the same time we'd hoped to be asleep in our own beds. It was now finally that I could call my mom and inform her about the delay. Due to poor road conditions, the trip back took another six hours.

I think I was probably searching for art ideas. Do you ever do that? For me, it's a horrendous waste of time, and while I know it's true, I can never help but get carried away regardless. If you were to search through the "My Pictures" file of our Window XP computer, you would find, top-left, a folder called 2009-08-07. Original, right? Take it a step farther and click on that folder, and you would find several folders within that folder. (Folder-ception, if you will.) These various folders contain everything I would love to draw but don't have the patience for. Folders with names like "Art Ideas", "Textures", "Dream House", "To Draw", "Cosplay Project", et cetera. Within these digital-walls are a plethora of ideas of anything under the sun that could inspire a person to draw. But do I draw them? No. I dream of drawing them, though. ...And part of the dreaming process includes google-searching more stuff I'd love to draw.<div>I was doing just that, looking for more stuff to "inspire me", when I came across this poster. Kinda plain looking, but worth the read, seriously. For any of you who do creative things like drawing, playing an instrument, writing or taking pictures, I give to you this article. Maybe you'll find it to be somewhat encouraging.</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOMWB8id34bVFQoU3BvR1h1on7143pQyxvhqXQb2Cq6haWzsFsdCvnDOjRnkG1oaBLaMJ3Q_ScnJY6ZBh4-zbC5vOWtNqe61sJrWshtYJ1kOMIy0ywDi48FjV9JDDRE1I6XfUqW9X93f4/s1600/tumblr_lq6ntpDaHN1r1m4z8o1_500.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 327px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOMWB8id34bVFQoU3BvR1h1on7143pQyxvhqXQb2Cq6haWzsFsdCvnDOjRnkG1oaBLaMJ3Q_ScnJY6ZBh4-zbC5vOWtNqe61sJrWshtYJ1kOMIy0ywDi48FjV9JDDRE1I6XfUqW9X93f4/s400/tumblr_lq6ntpDaHN1r1m4z8o1_500.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659106642746676210" /></a>Anna-kinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15090160560957180753noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874418004318381743.post-43695812866669013892011-09-25T14:40:00.001-07:002011-09-26T14:56:17.484-07:00...And thus begins my last year of school.<div><span class="Apple-style-span">I'm sorry I haven't posted any new updates on my life lately. My days seem to be getting smaller and more cramped. It's beginning to make me feel claustrophobic. I started school four weeks ago (even as I write that I can hardly believe it's been that long) and truly thought this year would be a breeze. My subject load looked pretty slack from the "outside." Now not so much. Calculus is tougher than I thought it would be (and it hasn't even gotten to the juicy stuff yet), I don't even know how I managed to finish both advanced mathematics and physics before 8:30 a.m. last year. Maybe I've gotten stupider over the summer. I hope not, because I still have to pass German. I am taking German by correspondence through Athabasca University this year. That's another subject that I figured would be a cinch. Guess I didn't notice the word "university" when I signed up. This course is definitely no kiddy curriculum. I can pretty much take the course on my own schedule, the only rule is that I must complete yea-many oral and written exams over the semester. I've done one oral exam and one written exam so far. The oral one is done on the phone with my tutor, the written one is emailed to Athabasca for them to grade. Thankfully, my tutor is a pretty great guy, very easy-going and makes me feel at ease. I'm quite confident that I'll be thankful that I've taken this course once I'm done. For now, though, I'm getting kind of overwhelmed. (One big plus about taking German is bëing äble t<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19px; background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249); ">ö writ</span>ë with ümlauts. ;) ) </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">I think maybe being homeschooled all my life has spoiled me. I'm used to being able to have any time after 1:00 p.m. to myself, now that just isn't possible. It'll take some adjustment, but I think I'll survive this school year. (I sure hope so, because I've already bought a grad dress!)</span></div>Anna-kinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15090160560957180753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874418004318381743.post-66959523065079224842011-08-09T12:14:00.000-07:002011-08-09T12:51:11.690-07:00Costumes, ahoy!
<br />I thought it might be nice to post some "how-to's" of the costumes I've been working on lately. So, here goes! I shall now attempt to explain how I made Sheik's Lyre. (A side note, I have changed my blog design in honor of C.S. Lewis' book "Perelandra".) <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiStIK1pp6QzIs70DNNBWwUut3pseKtFytdd4iiIXsR4MxhRouKywjPqcqlkcyIlyS058qdysjW-nBZ-fDh74IFxU-mjXbEG5PCY23cARdvlt1qklsX9I1EhViDOFvlsjkEoydSs7iqUmI/s320/tutorials+033+smaller.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638942789420883090" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /><div>
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">First, you start with a wooden base. I used a 5-ply board which was light-weight, but </div><div style="text-align: center;">also sturdy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjccAw_6-XLC5AUTS7IBGVi-q2bUIaWs4Ufg2zuyKu1y8fwxXaQaJeFbQurTqouJBmpCw1gs0rBvrcHOpGZKmOKytBq2lEpBsx_8e8iwwOttvg8dwsd6AMLXXugzEltBUaV1ZBWue__ztw/s320/tutorials+018+smaller.JPG" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638942440688561922" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Now the strings are attached. I just used elastic from my local fabric store. I would recommend elastic over string, because it's easy to pluck, but won't lose it's tightness or bend the wood.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgotL7Sa53suTPQXWsCHxCMHuMtubXFLQKh6SmbIiQq_T_8CN66fd2xo7bdeN8nOArRLMFO4ee6_aGKiEYBcC2p7Qx6yLTf4-wN8iHsqeAFlt6zOucZ8Rc1hYGxyErPxypKxvPXYO4Vju4/s320/tutorials+020+smaller.JPG" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638942444450946050" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Now comes a fun and messy part, applying the goop to give the harp it's shape. I used paper mache clay, it was easy to work with and quite sturdy, once it's dry.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0WJIShCkWhrOdeMQal3fUuvqpZRLaJVdk_XmLLvmdADV3GHhA_T_V6lbhwAf0CFSLbA3Mf3M279PUqfBE8UHD6Q2ezInKwySJfnZcYNN_C9WBfzk0nThaA0oGcydjPFQXDfA-quCedXI/s320/tutorials+023+smaller.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638942449022748722" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></div><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Once you've applied the clay to both sides, (and let it dry properly) it's time to cover your harp with joint compound.

I've also really been keeping busy with my Zelda project. Recall the armor that I finished a few weeks (or is it months now?) ago? I've basically finished the entire costume now, and my brother and I are continuing to work on his Link cosplay. (</span>cos-play verb /'käz,pla/ short for "costume play", is a type of performance art in which participants don costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea. Characters are often drawn from popular fiction in Japan.) We're planning a photo-shoot in August with my friend, who cosplays Sheik. When all is said and done, we'll be the coolest trio in Northern Saskatchewan! ...Mostly because we're the only cosplayers in Northern Saskatchewan.

This is the first year that I have not finished school by the end of May, and summer has never felt so summer-y as it does this year. <div>This past Tuesday my tortures came to an end as I finished my last departmental exam. There were five in total, three maths, a physics and a bio exam. (My three worst subjects.) I don't think I did half-bad. I won't know for sure until I get my marks back, but I'm optimistic that I did quite well, especially considering I didn't take the courses. So, I'm well on my way to grade 12! I think next year'll be a breeze in comparison.</div><div><br /></div><div>I s'pose there's a few other things that have happened over here since I last blogged. One, our dog had his second surgery. The silly little guy decided playing fetch with rocks wasn't enough for him, and thought it might be fun to eat one. Surgery and medication expenses in, that turned out to be a pretty pricey rock. He's back to ol' chipper self now, though, and loving life as much as ever. </div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQSUCp0oNHRTPtgolObySjjimqzcbQg-lEXET0a1-1BYKPB0BlpMd33ERsuleD7lL8DmvR2vCW6xL9Wzs-WmFiul3IuJEwdiwHesKc1WUDuNpLDSQdkwfvb0yVejJhMhpAhwRmMXrdamU/s320/IMG_1469.JPG" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 241px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624819352612078034" /><div>Another piece of interest came two days ago when we took a trip to "the City" for some shopping.

Lo and behold, I came home with a grad dress. A bit early I s'pose, since I don't graduate til' next year, but the it's got room to grow. (Y'al are thinking, "Yeah right, Anna. What are the odds that you're going to grow this year?" Probably pretty slim.)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Oh, before I log off, I must announce that I finished Out of the Silent Planet this morning! What a good read, C.S. Lewis never ceases to blow me away with his verbal genius. Here's my impression of a hross, for any who care. I'm hoping to draw one of each of the hnau of Malacandra this summer.</div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYAGUTBMiNJsMrhZL0JsxQ4tyTB955iglkgX04cuFNAhf94YlWzhnulhXpecHviOCJmI29kOd0CVuUBSHySmBQjE3BC8hVKJKfazPEwARCF0XYgFeD6C1Qw7AGTntjQTVGMvM7kHrV11U/s320/hross+001.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 219px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624820760801675314" /><div><br /></div>Anna-kinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15090160560957180753noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874418004318381743.post-83552270688116393612011-06-17T07:48:00.000-07:002011-06-17T07:52:45.141-07:00If I were a cartoon character......I would probably look like this. :]<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw0B4UUuIEh3RyxZNQuMEd_Oksmf261nJZdTLaN89kXhJYSFLD_Nvhw9muuwhA_4V51dNZxYJiXSkxYCFifDRR6kc_o1SmBDK8ZWfjqh4jdnx3iDFol3cQL-Kn8pHjBBNkp5dMBOtd098/s1600/nerdyness_1_01_by_fanatikerfrau.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 243px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw0B4UUuIEh3RyxZNQuMEd_Oksmf261nJZdTLaN89kXhJYSFLD_Nvhw9muuwhA_4V51dNZxYJiXSkxYCFifDRR6kc_o1SmBDK8ZWfjqh4jdnx3iDFol3cQL-Kn8pHjBBNkp5dMBOtd098/s320/nerdyness_1_01_by_fanatikerfrau.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619201205641646930" /></a><br />Finished this pic on June 15, my last digital art for a while since I shall be grounded from the compy for July and August.

After our first [good] dog, Goliath, acquitted this earth, I wondered if we'd ever own another dog which I could love so much as I did Goliath. Turns out, I could. About exactly a year ago we brought Tolkien home. He's a pure-breed mutt, with some chow-chow in his blood, but for the first few months of his life he looked like a fluffy rottweiler. His ears remind me of satellite dishes, and combined with the mane of hair about his face, it would be an understatement to say his head looks rather disproportional. But aside from all these quirks that make him so great, that is not the reason I love him. I love him because, in many ways, I wanna be just like him. I've never met a human being take such an amazing view of life. (True, Tolkien isn't a human, but don't tell him I said that because he still thinks he's gonna look just like us when he grows up.) He's so easily pleased. When we were gardening a few days ago, he was puzzled that we'd throw away such perfectly lovable weeds. He chose a dandelion my mom had thrown out and proceeded to pounce, mouth, shake and toss it until there was hardly anything left. To him, everything is a toy. He does have a few favorite toys of course, such as the tire, deer bone, log, tow rope and ball of string. (I think that last one used to be a baseball, but it's hard to be sure now.) Tolkien is always happy. Nothing gets him down. He loves unconditionally, makes friends continually, kisses unreservedly, and would follow you to the ends of the earth.</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; "><b>Y'know, it's kind of sad-- how many people can you say that of?
