Day One
Broke up with Aragorn today. He would insist on giving me a clay pipe and a
pair of breeches for Valentine’s Day when I specifically requested a
nightie. Have sent him away from Rivendell.
Day Two
Bored and lonely. Regret having sent Aragorn away. So what if he wanted me
to dress up in a curly wig and hop around on my knees during intimate
moments? Am sure other humans have equally odd hangups. Wish I could be
interested in Elf men, but ever since debacle with Glorfindel back in Second
Age when he accused me of copying his hairstyle, have given up on my own
kind.
Day Three
Someone’s been trying on my dresses again. They are all stretched out of
shape, especially the purple one.
Day Six
Legolas got all shirty when I accused him of trying on my dresses. He says I
have impugned his masculinity. What masculinity?
Day Eleven
Legolas still sulking. Says other elves making fun of him now since whole
dress-trying-on-incident. Says they no longer take him seriously as a man.
He must have missed it when Daddy called him “the gayest gay elf that ever
nanced down the pike” at last Council meeting. Or maybe he just didn’t
understand it; he’s awfully pretty, but not so bright.
Day Thirteen
Too, too, too bored. Perhaps will leave Rivendell in search of adventure, or
shopping.
Day Fifteen
Went all the way to the Gap of Rohan only to find there is no Gap in Rohan.
Not even a Banana Republic. False advertising!
Day Seventeen
Went to Bree. Asked Barliman if had seen Aragorn lately. Barliman said,
“What, that pervy hobbit-fancier?” Told him he must be thinking of other
Aragorn, son of Arathorn. He said, “The Still Not King guy, right?” Did not
respond; some people don’t deserve my conversation.
Day Eighteen
Have been following Aragorn for two days now. Have never really seen hobbits
close up before. Suddenly business with curly wig and prosthetic feet
starting to make sense. very annoyed. Slow burn.
Day Twenty
Doesn’t he ever wash his hair when I’m not around?
Day Twenty-Four
Is official. Aragorn a complete pervy hobbit-fancier. Is obviously into
little blue-eyed hobbit Frodo. Sam will kill him if he tries anything.
Day Twenty-Five
Cornered Sam while he was out looking for herbs. Explained to him exactly
how was possible to kill human men instantly and silently using just a fork
and a rubber band. Turned him around, gave him little push in Aragorn’s
direction... alas no dice. “But we need him to protect Frooodo, scary elf
lady!”
Whingy little hobbit, I’ve no patience at all.
Day Twenty-Six
Finally decided to take care of Aragorn myself; was about to slit his
cheating throat when was distracted by howling moans of Ringbearer. Decided
to annoy Aragorn by hobbit-napping bite-sized hero and taking him for
extended pony ride.
Little hobbit really rather adorable, blast him.
Cannot believe am getting all swoony over hobbit. Repeat to self: “Aloof,
unavailable elf princess. Aloof, unavailable elf princess.” Especially
cannot believe am getting all swoony over greenish-looking, half-dead
hobbit.
Day Twenty-Seven
Chased by Ringwraiths. So tedious. Off to Rivendell.
Day Twenty-Nine
Well, really. Cannot even get near Ringbearer, as Sam is always there, plus
caught Aragorn sneaking around in shrubbery by hobbits’ quarters. Claimed he
was looking for shard of Narsil he had misplaced.
Day Thirty
Hobbits such a bother. Kitchen staff fussing all out of carrots. Bathroom
staff fussing all out of strawberry scented bath bubbles. Legolas fussing
will not let me go to Council meeting as then
he will not be prettiest.
Strain is obviously getting to Daddy. Asked me yesterday in haggard manner
whether I thought purple suited his complexion. Told him of course not, he
is so obviously an autumn.
Day Thirty-Two
Spent all day hanging about on bridge looking pretty before Aragorn happened
along. Accused him point-blank of hobbit-fancying. He told me that Isildur
had been a pervy hobbit-fancier, and he was just trying to build his career
in a similar fashion. Told him: “You are Isildur’s heir, not Isildur
himself.” To which he replied, "If only you were a bit shorter, and had
bigger feet.”
Day Forty
Spent quite the night with Gimli. Those braids! That axe! I am smitten. No
more hobbits for me, it is dwarves all the way now. Well, perhaps might just
pop by one last time to watch Sam give Frodo his bath. After all, I didn’t
filch that bathroom key out of Aragorn’s pocket for nothing.
