Lindir, I know you opened the last message I sent you because you have been sending messages to the list. Remember, I know where your office is; I can always stop by and ask in person. Unless of course, you happen to be doing something you are not supposed to be doing, such as, having one of the interns sit on your lap while your dictate to her. Of course, we all know you would never do anything like that, so I suppose I should just wander down the hall to your office. I could use a little walk.

Alright, just do NOT tell him I told you. Delete this message after you get it!! He is in love with you or something like that. I know, I was shocked, too, but he swears he is. He is just too shy to tell you because he is afraid you might kill him or something. But no telling him I was the one to let you know!!

Subject: Erestor

Erestor is well aware of the fact you are in love with him. I am fairly certain he is interested in you as well. What I think we should do is cancel the council meeting, and then you should stand up – not right now, wait until you read the rest of this. Stand up, walk across the room, pull him up out of his seat, pin him against the filing cabinet, and before he can protest, proclaim your love, and then kiss him.

Trust me. It will work.

Also, make sure you turn your webcam around so that it is facing his desk first, and log into your instant messenger so that I can see the look on his face when you walk over there.

Subject: Survey

I had a little time to waste after cancelling the usual council meeting due to the fact my chief advisors are too busy with more personal matters attend, so I thought I might try one of these. I know Cirdan will reply, but these are fun, the rest of you should try it. -Elrond

What side of the heart do you draw first?
The right side, I just tried it.

Can you dive without blocking your nose?
Yes, I am an excellent swimmer.

What color is your cell phone?
I have a pager and a secretary. I found that having a cell phone just meant my children could constantly call and complain about their curfews.

What was for dinner last night?
I honestly cannot recall.

What's your favorite number?
47

Do you like to read?
Yes.

Do you have a crush on someone?
I am not sure if I should count my wife or just abstain from this one, but she is the only one I have ever loved.

Do you like to sleep?
Very much so.

Are you gay?
Absolutely not.

Do you wear a lot of black?
Not really.

Have you ever hugged a tree?
Not for some time. I must do that again.

Do you like drama?
On occasion.

Are you afraid to die?
A little, yes.

Ever won a spelling bee?
I am extraordinarily good at spelling. But I never won a spelling bee. Usually because Erestor beat me with some ridiculously long word.

Do you like orange juice?
Of course.
