Where would you rather live in Middle-Earth?
No, you don't get to be an Elf or Dwarf, so places like Lorien are out of the question. But where would you choose to live if you had the choice? Assume it's about five years before the events of LotR takes places, and you have no idea what's going to happen.

Hobbiton, hands down. I'm kinda short and pudgy, I'd fit right in. And they have a fondness for alcohol and eating several times a day.
Damn. How do I get to Hobbiton?

Quiet, peaceful, happy place.
I like, I agree, let's go invade Hobbiton together!

Oh, Rohan. I can't even think about it without hearing that fantastic theme from the Lord of the Rings films. Also, they produce some fine lookin' ladies.
Although, I'd always accept the title of Jackass Under the Mountain, too.

After the ring war, I would have chosen Minas Tirith. But before the ring war, with the fights with mordor (yes, even 5 years before the ring war, there were fights with mordor), and with the head of state being a bit insane (sure, not that much at that time, but still), Gondor wouldn't fit me.
So I chosed the Shire/Bree area. Not my favorite area (I love big cities), but at least it's peaceful, quiet, and not ruled with an iron fist.

I second that. The Shire for me. :)
Besides, I was obviously a Brandybuck in a former life. :)

Rohan would be my second choice. *nod*
Pale women, mead and adventures on horseback. :)

I'm wondering if emmigrating to Hobbiton means access to one of those posh homes like Bilbo's or if I would need to dig my own hobbit hole. Would I be able to use Canadian pipeweed as currency?

Rohan. Rohan is awesome. Guys on horses, and swords, and...
*stops acting like a five-year-old*
Yeah. Rohan.

The Shire, it's the most cosmopolitan place on the list. Ohhh just think of all those sexy hobbit menfolk... ;P
Mordor because where else would eating your neighbor be acceptable.
Remember, even Hobbiton was touched by the War...PJ never showed the Scourging of the Shire in his film, although you saw a glimps of it when Frodo looked in Galadriel's Mirror

Yeah, but I'd get five years of happiness before then :D
And after that, the hobbits do beat the *bleep* (self censorship) out of the orcs.

is that why you're not allowed to the circus anymore?
And for those picking Mordor, you realize you'll probably be sent to the slave fields of Nurn, right? :D

Rohan...I would give my life to Eowyn, the White Lady.
Sigh, being human, eh? Gondor then; I think I'd fit in with the organised cities better than the anarchic Shire. And Rohan is too rural for my liking. Anywhere else is out of the question.
Bree wouldn't be too bad, but I think I'd rather be in Dale. While I'm a bit tall for a dwarf, I like the idea of making things.

Aman. With the rest of my Valaquendi brethren.
Unsure. Rohan, I guess. Developed country, good king, and if there's ever trouble, I can run away on horseback.

If I was stuck being human, then I would be a ranger. So, hanging around in the woods somewhere.
