Hey everyone, I'm Jo! 
Um.. a bit about myself... right now I'm 17, I have no life cause I'm a computer addict, but I'm not on it as much as I'd like to be due to school. It's my last year of high school this year and I'm running around freaking out about how I'm going to totally fail
.
I love Lord of the Rings. I read the Hobbit in grade 6, and I haven't been able to put it down. I've read it over 14 times, and I've lost count. Lord of the Rings I read during grade 8 and 9, and I loved them. I haven't read them since, although I plan to. When the movies came out I didn't see them until I got FOTR for my birthday when it came out on DVD. Now that, that was love at first sight. The movies, in my opinion are brilliant. I really am happy with it in every way.
I'm not what you would call a Tolkien purist, as I don't kill the movies for not being 100% accurate, but I do think nothing compares with the great man's legacy. Tolkien is a genius, period. But, I do have to say that Peter Jackson & Co. are just as genius-y.
My major obsession within Lord of the Rings is Aragorn and Viggo Mortensen. I love that man. *squeals and glomps him*... yes. My friends constantly tell me to shut up about him because I never do myself ;D. Hehehe...
And that's me in a nutshell!
