Welcome! Tomorrow is my birthday, and in true hobbit tradition, I’ll again be giving out virtual presents to all of you to celebrate. This was so much fun last year (stop by for that post for double the gifts), that I decided to do it again.
Unfortunately, there will be no fireworks. Haven’t quite figured out how to make that happen.

Pretend I actually made this cake. Just for you.
These are various fun things I’ve found on the Internet over the past year. Hope you enjoy them!
Galadriel: Because I can picture elves being crunchy hipsters (and they’ve got the subtle brag thing down).
Frodo: Because you have to remember what’s worth sacrificing for.
Smaug: Because he could use a crash course in riddles.
Grima Wormtongue: Because I have no idea how he even became advisor with a name like that.
Boromir and Faramir: Because even brothers disagree sometimes.
Sam: Because basically everything about him is heartwarming and wonderful.
Bilbo: Because he needs a little help dealing with difficult dinner party guests.
Thanks for another great year, friends. I am immensely fond of you all, and eleventy-one years is too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable hobbits.
Thanks for the reminder about the Murder Mystery Dinner etc. I’d been meaning to watch that for a while now, and today I binged it. Absolutely topping.
Happy Birthday a few days late!
