Welcome to The Blue Forest, blog home of marybluefairy.I am new to this whole blog thing, so be kind. :)
Even though I am a collect-a-holic, I don't think that's all I'll be blogging about...but don't be surprised if it is! I spend virtually all my message board time over at http://www.lordoftheringsguide.com, where I am also known as...marybluefairy. I've been a member there since 2003, and I expect most people who check out my blog will also have been members. ;)
So what do I collect? Well, I started out with Lord of the Rings toys, I just thought they were so cool. After amassing a few hundred, I traded them in for the spendy Sideshow Weta pieces. Like potato chips, once you 'pop' you can't stop! I probably have about 80% of all the pieces they ever made, from statues down to medallions. The collecting bug has spread to other (LOTR and non-LOTR) pretty things from Weta, Sideshow, Noble, Master Replicas...I could go on, but I won't. :P
Oh, and I do my geeking out at conventions. I go to ORC (One Ring Celebration) and SDCC (San Diego Comic Con) every year now. I've become a Lord of the Rings Symphony groupie (seen it FOUR times: Grand Rapids, Cleveland, San Diego, Louisville). I obsessively disguise my geekness from friends and colleagues in my 'normal' life. I think my family is worried about me!
As you can see, I like (parentheses). :D
