User:Snowstripe the Fierce

Why hello, there. My name is Snowstripe the Fierce, but you can call me Bodo Burrowes. My full name is Bodo Eutherio Rodd Burrowes. My surname is derived from the word "burrow", since my ancestor helped dig into hills to make hobbit-holes. I am a hobbit farmer, husband of Rosa Burrowes, father of Runcival and Peregrine Burrowes, and a friend of Gandalf the Grey. I am the owner of the cat Pearl, which I got as a gift from Gandalf, and my dog Odus. When I was around thirty-nine years old, I started hearing of a magician of sorts. They said he was an old man, and was so very tall that he couldn't be a hobbit. They said his name was Gandalf the Grey. I, of course, wanted to see him, and invited him over for dinner. It was there that he learned that hobbit-holes are not very much suited to a person of his height. After dinner, I set out some tea and he told me that he had been on many adventures, helping elves, (whatever those are) and Dwarves (whatever those folk are). He came by almost every time he visited the Shire and once he came by bearing a ring on his finger. He called it the Narya and said it was a gift to him. I didn't much want it, for it would be too big for me and I don't much like rings anyway (I barely can handle my wedding ring, blasted things are always falling off my finger). Anyway, I'm usually on my porch, expecting a visitor, but if you want to be the visitor I'm expecting, I would suggest becoming acquainted with me first, because expeting a visit from a person you weren't expecting is not really expected.
