For Out and About in Aman: now I want to place an order for a marimba windchime thing! How wonderful! (And a self-conscious Fëanor!! Mandos sure did some jiggery-pokery there!)

For Roommates: how disorienting, orientation that it is. Her thought of mushrooms seem apt (said to be kept in the dark and fed on bullshit)

For Cocktail Party: I can totally see the Noldor throwing parties with the express purpose of showing off their glassware!

For Ever On: this made me so happy and made my day! I love it!
