"You could've picked a better spot!"
Gimli hanging with other dwarves would have killed the line. Not to mention "Don't tell the elf".
With the hobbits you get the fish out of water for untrained unexperienced travellers. Gilmi was nice because he has seen and done much, but with all his skills he was still out of his element.

Hmmm...
There are so many places I'd want to live and things I'd want to be! So I'll just give my first few choices:

1. I would be an elf-maiden living in Rivendell. However, I would still go on quests and such, even as a girl. But that would be awesome to sit in the Hall of Fire every night, with songs and tales ( such as Frodo describes it in FotR). I think I would be a messenger, so that I could travel a lot and have adventures (but not too much). I would go and visit Lothlorien, too.

2. I would be a maiden warrior of Rohan, much like Eowyn- she is my Hero! Maybe I could be a descendent of her, although I don't think I would want to live in that age when all the elves are leaving Middle-Earth. Anyway, I would live just out of Edoras, on the banks of the Entwash, and maybe ride with the rohirrim, if they would let a girl in.

3. I would be a hobbit, smoking pipes and eating seven solid meals a day. I think I would go on an adventure sometime, but a small one. I would live in Buckland and venture into the Old Forest, and maybe live in Brandybuck hall.

I could think of a million more lives I would lead in ME, so I'd better stop now. All I can say, is I wouldn't want to live near Mordor, or in Rohan when they're being attacked and have to go to Helm's Deep.

The Eowyn thing

Does anyone else think she is similar to Joan of Arc?

Ok here goes.

I would like to have lived in Beleriand (which means I'd probably be a fish now swimming around in the Belegaer) as an Elf of the Sindar. I would live in Doriath and help protect it from Orcs. But I'd probably get sick of the GIrdle of Melian and try and escape and end up living with Cirdan at the Mouths of Sirion.

Or I would like to have been a Man living on NUmenor at the start of the Second Age, I could then live for centuries and then pop my cloggs when I wanted! (best of both worlds) And yeah I know I'm a glutton for being on lands are which are drowned beneath the sea - lets hope thats not an omen!

I wouldn't worry about the Omen thing. They don't call the Scottish Highlands, Highlands, for nothing . Now the Southwest coast of Britain is another matter with rising sea levels .

Aha but I live in the Scottish lowlands! But I guess its still higher than England but I am known to be a dunce at geography so....

[Tinuviel]

I would be an elf of Rivendell, or maybe half elven. Rivendell is peaceful and isn't troubled by the outside world. I'd probably use a bow (cuz archery is da bomb!) I guess I'd be a writer of sorts, recording events in history so they aren't forgotten. Being immortal, i'd travel to almost every place in middle earth, learning and recording history.
Yep, that's what i'd do!

I cherish being near woods and mountains. So I could easily see myself living somewhere between the Hoarwell and the Misty Mountains. On the other hand, that area is very dangerous and I love good food. So I might settle for Chetwood or some other place closer to the Shire.

[Dunadan]

I think i would like to a ranger in Arnor, just before the War of the Ring, always battling the servants of Mordor and joining up with Aragorn with the rest of the Grey company.
Provided i lived through that little jaunt i would then retire to live in The Prancing Pony in Bree smoking pipeweed and boring travellers with my war stories.

The Shire. Somewhere in tookland.. I would be a traveling entertainer wandering from Inn to Inn in the Shire. WHen I am done with my travels, I would sit at home and knit, and tell stories. I see myself as a schenacie/bard of sorts.. Singing songs, telling stories.. Kind of like Sam Gamgee...

I see myself as a Took, cause I do unexpected things at times.

Possibly, I would wander out of the shire, and establish myself in Staddle, or Bree-town.. being an entertainer at the Prancing Pony, the Mad Badger (Archet) or The Comb and Wattle (Combe)

Bree-town would be the most fun, being at a crossroads on the Greenway and the East Road... plus it would give me a chance to socialize with all races of the Free Peoples.

I wonder if that house in Crickhollow might be available - and would those hot baths still be there? Now that would be living!
