i am on a mission, apparently

i just realized, to my own amusement, that i have acquired 7 lord of the rings boxed sets in the last 10 years or so.  2 have been for me: the original one that i got when i was 12, which my parents payed for, and one in college when i realized my old set was getting a little too well-loved for comfortable re-reading.  the other sets have been for other people who, for whatever reasons, did not own a copy and i thought they should.  heh.  spreading lotr love, one person at a time.

eta: 7 boxed sets, actually. entry has been changed to reflect this. heh.
