the awesome/terrifying freedom

aragorn.

when i was in elementary school my dad read the entire 'lord of the rings' out loud to me before bedtime. i think it took over a year. i only remembered and understood the parts with the hobbits and gollum - all the battles and families got too confusing for me, but even then i knew.. even then i knew that aragorn was one hot mofo. and i went to see the awful cartoon of the first half of the story and i remember aragorn being sexy in that, too (looking back at the pictures, no, he was not sexy, but voiced by john hurt, so maybe that was it). right up there with indiana jones.

i've been thinking a lot lately about the size of hobbits. and just how big that would make viggo. poor frodo would get torn in half.
