Lord of the Rings mood set

pegkerrThere are 131 LiveJournal moods. I have thought of Lord of the Rings phrases for 104 of them (and am quite smug about several I have figured out), but still need Lord of the Rings phrases for the following [edited to add further ideas]:
amused ("Very ridiculous of you, Frodo" and I'll switch "Why, you ninnyhammer, Sam Gamgee" to "silly")
angry ("meddle not in the affairs of wizards for they are subtle and quick to anger")
blah (maybe "like butter scraped over too much bread")
blank ("Whatever came into my mind, I will keep there")
bouncy (I'm trying to decide between "The cow jumped over the moon" for that or for hyper. Can anyone think of another one? Ah! One of the Tom Bombadil choruses)
calm ("Do not let your hearts be troubled")
complacent ("All's well that ends better" maybe?)
cranky (maybe "You speak evil of that which is fair, and only little wit can excuse you")
crappy (maybe: "You stink, Master stinks; the whole place stinks!" although, my original idea was to use that for "dirty")
enthralled (maybe "Yet more fair is the living land of Lorien, and the Lady Galadriel is above all jewels that lie beneath the earth," or perhaps Gimli's speech about the glittering caves. Or "I have never heard tell of one so fair.")
exanimate (there's a line in Mordor, something like: Frodo threw himself on the ground and lay like a dead thing)
geeky (I'm thinking of "I don't hold with wearing ironmongary, whether it wears well or no")
indifferent (maybe some line about how Tom Bombadill doesn't really pay attention to the affairs of Middle earth and so would be an untrustworthy guardian of the Ring)
listless (thinking of using something from the Old Man Willow episode)
moody (I have to look up the exact wording, but perhaps Frodo's remark about Strider: "I have become very fond of Strider. Well, 'fond' is perhaps not the right word. I mean, he is grim and strange at times." But that is rather long.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aome suggests just "He is grim and strange at times." That works!)
nerdy (maybe: "Proudfeet!")
nervous (maybe "These howls freeze my blood" although I may be using that for "afraid" But I can use Frodo's "I am afraid, simply afraid" for that)
numb (maybe "she just gives 'em a dab in the neck and they go limp as a boned fish")
okay (maybe "I'm all right otherwise" which is what Frodo says after they wake up in Ithilian, after Mount Doom)
pensive
recumbant (I'll look at the scene when they fell asleep at the hill surrounded by fog, before the barrow wights. Or maybe: "Have peace now until the morning! Heed no nightly noises!")
refreshed (I'll look at the description of Pippin and Merry's reaction after they drink the Ent draughts.)
relaxed (Aragorn has a line after their arrival at Lothlorien, something like, this will be the first night I've slept in peace since leaving Rivendell. Will look it up)
satisfied ("Boromir was satisfied with that claim")
touched ("He bowed but found no words to say")
I was also going to use Gimli's "My bones are fair chilled" for "cold" but then I remembered the song of the barrow-wight and think I will use that instead: "Cold be heart and hand and bone" I also plan to lift some other bits and make icons for them ("he stands not alone," there are fell voices in the air," bits of Bilbo's party speech, etc.), even if I can't think of a mood they fit. Just because.
Also: am changing the icon for flirty atcedarlibrarian's suggestion from "Do you not love me, or will you not?" [Faramir to Eowyn) to Galadriel's "For none have ever made to me a request so bold and yet so courteous." Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks for any help you can give! I'll share the code once I've created the set.
It really is frightening how much of this book I know by heart.

But, I digress.

Date: 2004-10-22 07:09 am (UTC)You might find enthralled in one of Gimli's speeches about Galadriel. For Refreshed, Satisfied, Relaxed, Recumbant etc I'd probably either look for quotes from before the quest began in Hobbiton or maybe one of the various havens the Fellowship find ie. their time with Tom Bombadil, Rivendell, Lothlorien or possibly even Merry and Pippin at Isengard.
OK seems the hardest to me, it's not a very "ok" book really.

I am not sure what mood that would be. But I have felt it a number of times in my life, when I made a choice that was important, and I knew it, but no one else knew.
