"I must know that girl!"

Sunday was a big night in Hollywood and I was there. I attended the Into the West LOTR fan party with Heidi. Now I know this may come as a surprise to everyone, but this was a big deal party as far as I was concerned. I had never encountered a bouncer in person before, not to mention I rarely make it in to Hollywood. Now you might say, why? don't you like but a short 45 minutes from there? But if you actually had ever been to Hollywood you would not question my general rule of avoiding that place. But I digress. We arrived looking quite stunning and were admitted by two frightening looking men in black suits. Inside was decorated LOTR style, with different rooms as different places from the stories. We wandered around a bit, found some people Heidi knows, and wandered some more. We ate dinner as we watched the show. Great food, but between the corsette in my dress and the little chair I was sitting on, eating was a difficult task. That was by far THE BEST Academy Awards show, or for that matter any awards show, that I have ever seen. I spoke to my grandma about that, she agreed and she's been watching it for far longer than I have. It wasn't just because of the ROTK clean sweep, I found almost the whole thing to be quite entertaining. But yes, ROTK. It really is quite a lot of fun to watch the Oscars at a party. Everyone kept screaming. I like screaming. We screamed every time any cast or other affiliated person showed up on the screen. We also screamed for Johnny Depp. How could it be helped? So that was a lot of fun. After the show was over we wondered about a bit more and bought a few things. Heidi bought a pair of dangly sword earings for her mom and I bought an enting for my sister, Kelli. It was a charity thing of Dominic Monaghan's where you donate $5 for tree planting and they give you a little baby giant sequoia to plant in your backyard. Eventually we wandered in to listen to the bands play. All celticy sorts of course. I liked them. While we were at that we took a picture with a guy from Gondor and another from the Shire, but by the looks of it he was a bit big for a regular hobbit. (btw, for those who don't know, I'm the one in black and Heidi is the one in green) We then hung out watching the bands until about 1:30am and then drove home. Quite a lot of excitement for me, I still haven't quite recovered. Oh, and it was also a night of discovery. I discovered two things about myself.
1. I find armor irresistable
2. Same goes for kilts

Good night.
