Hobbits & Elves: Yet another reason I adore BSAG

From her most recent blog post:

A few years ago I finally accepted that I am one of life's natural, chunky, cheery, big-footed Hobbits, not a willowy emo Elf, and found it to be liberating. Yes! I can run through the wet grass with my big, hairy, bare Hobbit feet to enjoy my second breakfast, and all those skinny, miserable Elves can sit around in the forest being moody and mysterious for all I care. Pass the beer.

I am SO totally a Hobbit as well.

LOL, that is such a liberating way of looking at life. And wrapped in such few words!

And, I am an old hobbit, and I have finally come to terms with that. I will never be tall, or blond, or fey, or whatever those elves are, but I'm imaginative, creative, earthy, and .... well ... I do love good food. Thanks for sharing this .... I laughed out loud and the people around me looked askew at me.
