Tolkien wasn't required reading for my high school. I'm 5'11" now, so my freshman year I considerably shorter. When I graduated I was 156 lbs. So I was small and skinny. Though I read The Hobbit and most of the LOTR before A Game of Thrones. I've stopped D&D and Magic for the same reasons. No one to play against. That and the cards they're putting out now suck.

Sorry to hear that jbh. If it's any consolation, I didn't get laid last night either. Though I did play WOW for a bit.
