[livejournal.com profile] ekmisao tagged me for this one:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
6. Tag five people.


They came to a low room with a sloping roof (a penthouse, it seemed, built on to the north end of the house). Its walls were of clean stone, but they were mostly covered with green hanging mats and yellow curtains. The floor was flagged, and strewn with fresh green rushes. There were four deep mattresses, each piled with white blankets, laid on the floor along one side.

-The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R. Tolkien; I was in fact rereading it because I was curious to see if the Sam = Gokudera thing held up in the book (IT DOES!). I apologize for the fact that page 123 lands us square in the middle of the house of Tom Bombadil. But I can't be held accountable for the meme not picking a more interesting passage. XD

As for tagging, uh. JUST DO THE MEME IF IT TICKLES YOUR FANCY, GUYS. I am a tagging failure.

And I also did that icon meme that went around a couple weeks ago.

BECAUSE I COULD. )

In other news, LOST premieres tonight! FINAL SEASON, I AM SO EXTREMELY EXCITED. \o/
makeste: (wait what)
I've been watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy extended editions with my sis over the past week or so (long movies are long haha), and the more I watched, the less I could shake the random fanthought that holy shit, Gokudera is exactly like Sam. Like, to the point where they could almost be AU personality twins. I submit to you: Samwise Gamgee is a) beautifully, selflessly, obsessively loyal, b) hilariously mistrusting of anyone or anything he thinks might have the slightest negative impact on Frodo, c) surprisingly practical, d) surprisingly badass, and e) a dork. EH?

SAMPLE THOUGHTS WHILE WATCHING THE TRILOGY:

SAM: [has an awww moment with Frodo in the boat when he swears never to abandon him]
ME: Oh wow, he's just like Gokudera!

SAM: [is all in favor of killing Gollum because he DOESN'T TRUST HIM!!! and is extremely sulky about Frodo's decision to have him lead them to Mordor]
ME: Hahaha he really is like Gokudera!

SAM: [is having a giggly nerd moment at seeing a pair of oliphaunts]
ME: lol.

SAM: [is rationing Lembas bread so that they'll have enough, which means forgoing some of his own share so that his beloved Frodo can keep his strength up]
ME: Okay...

SAM: [is ranting to Frodo about how Gollum is clearly going to BETRAY and KILL them at any moment, but comes off as so hilariously paranoid that it's really hard to take him seriously even though he's totally right]
ME: ...

SAM: [takes on a giant spider like it's nothing because FUCK YOU, STAY AWAY FROM MR. FRODO. >( After stabbing it like a total badass, he later goes on to kill some orcs further on in his rescue attempt because why the hell not.]
ME: ......

SAM: [gets his ass kicked by GOLLUM OF ALL PEOPLE like an idiot. Twice.]
ME: Damn.


So yeah. And now it's my headcanon that, since we all know Gokudera's read Lord of the Rings (seeing as he's a HUGE NERD), Samwise the Brave is totally his favorite character. So just who is the real nerd here? I choose to plead the fifth.
