My Interests
Here are a few...HAHAHA...of my current interests and thoughts on today's society, culture, and etc. Delve into my subconscious!
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Ok, sue me. i had to stay up all night tonite to pick someone up at hte airport at 5:15am, so i spent all night indulging myself in the online plethora of the new movie coming out soon. OHHHH man, the movie trailors gave me chills! these movies are going to be absolutely amazingly fantastic!!! i have not personally read any Tolkein, though i do vaguely know the stories from watching those cartoons that came out back in my childhood. that and my sister DID read it all. my mom gave me a gorgeous calendar with artwork based on his stories to try to get me to read them, but i just dont' read :( acutally, i'm going to try to make it a goal of mine to read this before the movie comes out. wish me luck! doubt it'll happen. hehe. anyhoo, i've also been nuts about elijah wood for years, so he's more eye candy in a fantastical world! ;) i urge you to download trailors to see for yourself how much work has been put into this. i guess production started in 1998! there's behind the scenes videos that are really cool! :) go check it out:

More Lord of the Rings
yep yep. rachel is now obsessed! wheee!! oh man, i now believe that this is the most amazing movie ever made! all the acting is fantastic, the scenery is jaw-dropping, the special effects are seamless, and dang elijah's cute! :D you MUST go see this movie! while waiting for the next movie to come out, i, rachel, am going to read the books! yes! can you actually imagine me reading? i have yet to start, cuz i like to have a big block of uninterrupted time, and now that school's started....well. maybe this weekend. actually, last night, i started browsing a norse mythology book i have too. let alone that other book i'm about halfway through.... haha. ok i'm off track. so far i got the frodo action figure, arwen and pippen from burger king (they were very low on toys when i went), both the movie picture books, and a great book of the hildebrandt illustrations for the series. i don't have the intention of buying every bit of propaganda out there, but i do intend on getting the newest poster, and a set of metal miniatures to paint(made for RPG gaming). somewhere in a box at home is a calendar i got several years ago for xmas of classic tolkein artwork. mom hoped it'd entice me to read the stuff...well, it's beautiful artwork! *guilty look* i'd like to find that again, especially since 2 of the most famous tolkein artists had a big hand in the props and design of the movie! ooo cool, huh? Frodo Lives!
More MORE Lord of the Rings
haha check it out! i joined the official fan club, and my name is going to appear in the credits of the first movie!! cool huh?! i also get a bunch of cool exclusive junk. :P course, i paid $40 for it... i haven't decided if i'll see it in the theaters again. of course, i'd jump on the opportunity if someone invited me. i've seen it 3 times, and i'm just kinda sad that i'll probably never see it again in a theater once it's gone, which is what makes me want to go as many times as possible. even surround sound home theater doesn't have a 15 foot tall screen. ALAS! i won't be able to count frodo's nose hairs! LOL! i'm thinking i might post my LOTR drawings on this site soon. i need to separate out the bj stuff from the personal stuff. someone sent me a comment about that. action figure update: all four hobbits, and a really cool moria orc! plus i'm trying to win ALL the toys from an online contest :P oh! and i've got a set of the fellowship metal miniatures on the way, intended for gaming use. i jsut got them cuz i think they're cute. my bro in law used to use those all the time, so i'll paint them at his house. they're probably like one inch tall! and SOO detailed! well, class is over! later!
Even More Lord of the Rings
Ok, since this seems to be more of a LotR diary than a generic interests page i'll go ahead and include this LINK to my LotR drawings. Enjoy!
NOT Lord of the Rings!
LOL! K, still an obsession. hehe now it's Professor Severus Snape of Hogwarts School of Magic! RRRRRRRRRROWR!!! *sigh* my dark nature shines through again! i'm definately a slytherin! ;) Why do i find him attractive? He's dark, he's mysterious, he looks damned good in black! haha and i have a particular aversion for evil lookin guys. you should see my highschool obsession ;) in fact, he could grow up to look like snape! hmm anyhoo, Alan Rickman is the man! i haven't seen enough of his stuff yet, but i've seen previews and intend on filling in the gaps. he seems to be a very esteemed and wonderful actor. (he was the sheriff of nottingham in Robin Hood: prince of thieves! as well as the token grumpy alien dude in Galaxy Quest. will i ever see him smile?) but yep. got a few drawings of him already! they're on my artwork page HERE in the cartoons section, and you can check out the awesome pic i found on my front index page. *giggles* i guess that's enough for now. gotta go concoct some magical love spells ;) WHAHAHAHA!
LOVE the hair!
