#super nerdy

Remember the other day, when your home was on fire and you got to save five items?That means you left a lot of other stuff behind. What are things you wish could have taken that you had to leave behind?

Dear 365 challenge.. you know how to punch me right in the feels. 

The pictures of my family.. the few ones I have when my birth parents were an actual happy love drunk couple..or those precious pictures of my grandparents on their wedding days... that's stuff you can't get back. 

My entire library filled with philosophy and random young adult thrillers... that's so much sadness. Books are my life. Honestly, the best people you will ever meet in this life are well read and anyone who doesn't have a library is a bad horrible no good person that you should run far far far far away from.. no matter how incredibly attractive they are. Then to add fuel to the fire (haha pun for the topic!) that's so much money I would have just let go up in flames. [Side note.. if you ever have the chance to see my personal library.. its a sight to see. This kid reads 600 words a minute.. of course my library is Bad ass! Its a hell of an investment to just it go... damn it Jenn. we didn't save the books!!!]

Damn it all.. I kinda want to go hug my bookshelf right now and apologize to each and every book. 

The world of Middle Earth was created by the eternal being Illuvatar.  Everything in the universe came in to being as part of the song of Illuvatar.  Literally, his music spawns reality.  Illuvatar created a race of angelic and eternal beings called the Ainur.  The Ainur assisted and embellished the song of Illuvatar and helped create middle earth.  One of these Ainur, Melkor was proud.  He was the most powerful of all the ainur. Melkor was jealous of Illuvatar and wanted to be make his own creations, rather than just a part of the song of Illuvatar. His rebellion attracted many other Ainur, who joined in a counter melody to Illuvatar's song.  Their dissonance was purposefully joined to song of Illuvatar, deepening it, imbuing it with grief and beauty.  All of creation was marked by Melkor's dissonance.  A perfect duality of light and darkness.

After Creation was finished, some of the Ainur entered the world of Middle Earth, as Valar and Maia, or Greater and Lesser spirits. Melkor, who was renamed Morgoth, became the "Foe of the World."  He was the first Dark Lord, directly preceding Sauron, who initially served as a lieutenant to Morgoth.  When Morgoth was defeated, Sauron took his place.  To help protect against Sauron, the Valar, guardians of Middle Earth sent several of their own to keep a watchful eye over the world.  This group of maiar were the Istari. This order included Saruman the White, Radagast the Brown, two unnamed blue wizards and Gandalf the Grey, last to arrive in Middle Earth.  

As a maia Gandalf was known as Olorin.  He was the wisest of the maiar, and a follower of Nienna, the Vala of grief and mercy.  If you ever wondered why Gandalf was sympathetic to Gollum, that's why.  In Middle Earth Gandalf arrived last of the Istari.  Seeing that he was wisest and more subtly powerful than the other Istari, the elf Cirdan presented him with Narya, third of the Elven Rings bound to the one.  Gandalf himself was one of the ring bearers.

 Unlike Sarumon, who did not bear a ring, Gandalf was incorruptible by the devices of Sauron.  Long before the formation of the fellowship, Gandalf prepared against the workings of the Dark Lord and suspected Saruman's treachery long before it was made known.  As we all know, Gandalf leveraged the One Ring into Frodo's hands and formed the plan to sneak the ring into the fires of Mount Doom.  He led the fellowship to Moria where he fought and defeated the Balrog.  

Platonic solid –

In Euclidean geometry, a Platonic solid is a regular, convex polyhedron. The faces are congruent, regular polygons, with the same number of faces meeting at each vertex. There are exactly five solids which meet those criteria; each is named according to its number of faces.
