Happy New Year!

It has been brought to my attention that perhaps I have taken this whole Landroval socialite thing a bit too far.  My critics might have a point.  I haven't swung a sword in anger in... months?   I am a bit better at dancing though so I have not been totally unproductive.  I suppose that only reinforces my critics' point however.

My New Year's resolution is to balance my dancing lessons with more orc smooshings.  I will begin right after the Julfest is over.  I needs my snowballs ;-)

I have strived to make myself a bit more fashionable since I have been on Landroval.  Not too much.  I am no spring dandy but I did pick up a few items that help me look sophisticated and refined while cleaning tables, rousing snow beasts and making snowmen in Frostbluff.

I brought my sister along this year.  She doesn't get out much and instead prefers keeping up with my house. In case you haven't seen her yet (and you wouldn't unless you visited my home or ran into her last week in Frostbluff) here is a picture of my sister Cynnamin.

If you try to flirt with her you will have me to answer to.  Just keep that in mind.

Cynnamin does a pretty good job of keeping house.  This year she used some hobbit Jule wall decorations and I really like them.  The season is about over but I am not sure I want to take them down just yet.  Here is a picture of my greeting hall.

 ... and my office.

Now that I have become a famous Landroval actor I was invited to help out with the theatre in Frostbluff.  In just a few days I managed to play every role several times earning myself heaps of new titles.  I stacked them on my title heap back home.

Speaking of acting.  I was called in at the last minute to star in a BBB moving picture.  My role was to have my head cut off so I am quite interested in seeing what else happens in this picture.  No doubt ladies will weep everywhere when that picture is released.

While attending the festivites in Frostbluff I ran into my accolyte Brorlion Badaxe and his companion Framrolf.  They were busy bashing each other with snowballs so I didn't hang around long.  My snowball throwing is legendary and I thought it better to let the boys play alone.

To wrap up the year I created a short picture montage of my life this past year.  All in all it was a good year.

Next year, more orc smooshing and less dance lessons.  Too bad as the lovely Bethyn Swan was just teaching me some new instruments  and I was thinking of starting my own band.  Well, maybe I can just busk a little here and there.  No harm in that.  I can still make my presence felt in Rohan while doing a little jig and strumming a theorbo.  Or squeezing sweet sounds out of a bagpipe - even better!

Happy New Year all and I hope this year is as good to you as this last one was too me.  See you in Rohan, (or maybe at the next concert outside the Pony)
