    Peregrin Took.

    In both the book and movie, I screw up, causing the general badness at the tomb of Balin in the mines of Moria. I'd do about the same thing.

    "Fool of a Took!"

    Oops.

    In high school the LOTR freaks assigned me as Meriadoc, which fit me pretty well. I have always loved Samwise's loyalty.

    But, when answering this poll, I thought very deeply and had a hard time choosing between two I never thought I would consider: Frodo and Gandalf. I finally decided on Frodo.

    Frodo worked incessantly on the task before him. As with Gandalf, I see a parallel in my political views. Gandalf fits my rational side. But, I think I would behave most like Frodo if I were in the situation. I also don't see mayself as "large" as Gandalf, meaning that he is larger than life and I am more like Frodo, who is just a small, very determined fellow with a cause.

    I have ten fingers, though.
