An Interview with little2

Have you ever found yourself wondering just who does lead the Realm of Nessa? Have you ever found yourself wondering just how crazy the Realm Head could be, while basing your judgment on their members? Well, the Realm of Nessa has compiled a list of twenty questions to answer your ever-present queries! Besides, who said that curiosity truly killed the cat? Not us, that’s for sure!

Q: We all know you have a bit of an obsession with photography. How many photos would you say you take per week?
A: Oh dear… on estimate? Wow. A lot. I don’t go anywhere without my digital camera. But, I’d probably have to say… around 60 or so. Depends on how eventful my week is.

Q: What is your favorite song from the LOTR soundtracks?
A: “Twilight and Shadow”… *dreamy sigh*…

Q: How did you become the head of Nessa?
A: Well we all know that Vala used to be the Nessa Head. But it got to the point where she just didn’t have time for it anymore and so she asked me to take over since I had just recently become a staff member and was familiar with all the tasks that would be required of me. And I guess you know the rest.

Q: Aside from being Nessa head, which of your jobs on CoE is your favorite, and why?
A: Probably Casting Forum Moderator. I’ve always been a fangirl at heart. 😉

Q: Do YOU find the idea of yourself as the literal head of Nessa to be amusing?
A: Ha… I can see it now. It’s not pretty… but I can see it, alright. *insert giggle fit here*

Q: Has being in charge of such a giddy bunch ever caused you to throw up your hands in despair?
A: Oh yes. Quite often. -SARCASM-

Q: What is your favorite thing about the LOTR stories? What first attracted you to them?
A: Well, the first thing that attracted me to them was a chance to get out of school when we went on a field trip to see FOTR in theaters with my 7th grade ACE class. 😛 My favorite thing about it, though, is probably just the sense of reality that it embodies, even though it’s such a surreal story. The attention to detail and the history and cultures make everything feel and seem so incredibly believable, and I love being able to get lost in a story to the point where I sometimes forget it didn’t actually happen. That’s when you know the author did his or her job.

Q: What was one of the reasons you decided to take up dancing?
A: I was so young, I can’t say I really remember. I think it was my mom’s idea, and I just kind of went along with it because I was so indifferent about everything at that age. I’m sure glad I got in when I did, though!

Q: What is your favorite Tolkien book, and why?
A: “Return of the King.” Reading about everything finally coming together and sorting out and everyone finally coming back together and settling down after such a life-altering time such as what they went through makes me so incredibly sad, almost downright depressed, but I still love recalling all those climactic moments in ROTK and seeing everyone finally be able to achieve what they’ve been working towards throughout their journey. Plus, I love a book that can make me cry, and if “Return of the King” doesn’t make me cry, then I don’t know what does. 😉

Q: Which Realm Parody is your personal favorite?
A: “Bakshi’s Revenge.” Yeah, buddy. Can’t beat the original.

Q: How do you feel about the LFF (Llama’s Frolic Freely)?
A: Ah yes… I am most definitely an avid LFF supporter. There’s nothing more tragic than a caged llama. 🙁

Q: If you where to ride a llama would you ride one that has a gimp leg or a gimp tail?
A: Hum… tough choice. Probably gimp tail. That way I didn’t fall off because the llama limped.

Q: Would you be able to fall through a crack that wasn’t there?
A: More than likely. Yes.

Q: Why are you so obsessed with Dominic Monaghan?
A: Gee, I don’t know… perhaps because he’s FREAKING HOTT. *ahem* Right… sorry. Sometimes I find it hard to control my inner fangirl. Which is why I’m the Casting Forum Moderator. It’s almost like therapy for me. 😛

Q: Has Nessa had any inspiration upon your dancing?
A: Actually, yes. Ha… ok, I lied. Just then. Not really, unfortunately. But that’s not a bad idea. I just might have to try and envision Nessa frolicking with the deer next time I’m in ballet. 😉

Q: Whatever happened to your obsession with a certain ranger?
A: Oh, it’s still there. It’s just diluted by the many other obsessions I’ve acquired. Don’t worry… I’ll always be a true Aragorn gal at heart.

Q: Tell me, just how crazy can one Nessian get?
A: Too crazy to be expressed by words. I shall leave it at that.

Q: How many dance performances have you done? Which was your favorite and why?
A: Oh my… many. I lost count long ago. There’s the week-long recitals I’ve done since 1st grade, the Company performances, the regular ABD performances, the competitions, the annual trips to dance at 6 Flags, and many more; but my favorite would probably have to be from 2 years ago when my dance company performed on a cruise ship to the Bahamas. The dancing was fun, yes, but I think we all know that we were only there for the cruise. 😉

Q: What was the most stressful thing you have had to do as a mod so far?
A: Just keeping your section up to date in the middle of school and dance and homework and having a social life is pretty stressful in itself. If there are times when I have to skip a day of modding, I get sort of stressed out because I know that I left my other mod hanging and then I feel bad but I have no computer access and… just… yeah. It’s hard to get your priorities in order, LoL. But besides that, my job has never really gotten stressful enough to make a certain situation stick out where I think of it right off the top of my head. It’s actually kind of fun. 🙂 Actually, now that I think of it, doing this newsletter was pretty stressful. 😉

Q: When did you join the site, and how did you find it?
A: I joined May 4, 2003, making me a member for a good year and a half now. I originally stumbled over it quite a few times when I went through an Elvish stage and was determined to learn it. I kept hearing things or finding things that linked back to CoE for their Elvish lessons, so I finally gave in and joined. But, as it turns out, once I joined, I got so caught up in everything else this site has to offer, I never got around to the Elvish lessons. Oh well… perhaps someday.

And there you have it ladies and gentlemen, the all too illustrious iLikeLOTRaLittle2much!
