Chapter Three: ... Sam
~*~* The
Stats ~*~*
Name?:
Samwise Gamgee
Race?: Hobbit
Sex?: Male
Eye color?: Brown
Hair color?: Also brown
Fat/skinny?: Rather stout, I suppose, even for a hobbit. Not that I’m complaining, mind you. It means I’m getting six meals a day, like a
good hobbit should.
Tall/short?: Short compared to most races...though
I’m fair average for a hobbit.
Were you
named after anyone?: No one that the Gaffer ever told me.
Do you
have any siblings?: Yes, sir, I do!
What are
their names?: Hamson, Halfred, Daisy, May, and Marigold.
If you could choose anyone to rule the world who would you choose?: Strider. Definitely Strider.
Have you
ever loved anyone?: Of course! My
wife Rosie, the sweetest hobbit maid in all the Shire!
Who is
your best female friend?: Why, I should say that would be
Rosie again.
Who is your best male friend?: Mr. Frodo, I’d
think.
Do you
always get in trouble? With who?: I get in trouble with my Rosie now
and again, but not with anybody else.
Do/did you get along with your parents?: I did, fairly well.
What do
you do most often when you are bored?: I go work in the garden or pick
mushrooms for supper.
What are
your favorite smells?: Fresh-turned earth...or mushrooms
cooking on Rosie’s stove!
If you
were a gardening tool, what would you be?: I suppose I’d be a trowel - then I’d
get to feel the soil beneath me.
What is
the one thing you just have to do before you die?: Until a couple of years ago...meet
an elf. Now that I’ve done that, well, I
suppose it would be making sure Mr. Frodo is well-off and happy for the rest of
his days.
~*~* Have you in the last 24
hours... ~*~*
...cried?: Er...no.
...gotten in major trouble?: Not major
trouble, though I got a fair scolding from Rosie yester-eve for letting Elanor
play outside ‘til dark.
...cut your hair?: No.
...ate a meal?: Yes, six
in fact!
...made a new friend?: Not
to-day, no.
...lost something?: Yes, that
basket of mushrooms I was just picking for Rosie.
~*~* If you were stranded on an
island... ~*~*
...who would you take?: Well, I’d take Rosie and the
children, of course, and I’d bring Mr. Frodo, too, as he still needs somebody
to look after him a bit.
...who would you take if you only had two people you could bring?: Oh, I couldn’t pick just two.
...what three things would you bring?: My gardening tools, some seeds, and
my cloak that the Lady of the Wood gave me...it is so wonderfully warm, you
know!
...what island would you want to be stranded on?: Any
old island, I suppose.
...what
animal would you kill for food?: Oh...I couldn’t kill much.
I’d plant a nice garden, and we’d eat from that. Though, I might be able to trap a few rabbits
and what-not.
...would you panic or relax?: I’d relax. Panicking never gets anybody very far.
~*~* Which
one? ~*~*
Winter or summer?: Summer - nothing ever grows during the winter.
The beach or the mountains?: Oh, the mountains!
Day or night?: Day time, o’course! Can’t see much at
night...unless you’re at a party with lots of lanterns and such.
~*~* Have you ever... ~*~*
...run
into a wall?: Once in a while.
...sleep walked?: I’m afraid so.
Only a couple of times, though...at least that I know of.
...had your life threatened?: Oh, yes! After all, I walked across Mordor...that’s
enough to threaten anybody’s life.
...talked
in your sleep?: Quite often, actually.
What did you say?: Well,
one time I started telling Mr. Frodo to come back...I must have been dreaming
about that horrible place again.
