You're The Best Friends Anybody Ever Had: November

 Am I going slightly mad because it's the end of the year and I'm behind on everything? Yes. Am I stressed because I have two more gifts to give that are not ready and the last day of the year is going to be here before we know it? Yes. Does it worry me tat we are so close and I don't feel like I am going to get everything done? Yes. 

Will all of this be worth it? 

I hope so. 


I love this time of year. I always have. I have loved it the best the last few years because I have had everything, Christmas gift wise, done months in advance. I am there on that front. Honestly, the biggest problem right now is that I keep adding stuff to my calendar. I am only on here doing this today because I took of work because I wasn't supposed to be home from a mini vacation until today. However, stuff happened and we came home last night instead. Totally fine! However, I almost went into work so save a vacation day. I took it off though so I could write all of these blogs and be back on track so I can spend that rest of month doing the other blogs and doing the other projects. So, with that lest talk about my friends.

However, you know we have to do the movie first! 



This is the story of a reluctant adventure. Frodo is thrown out of the world he knows and into a much bigger fate than he could imaging. After the responsibility of an evil ring is placed in his hands, Frodo must travel the world in search of how to destroy it. He is joined with his friend Sam and other from his village and it also joined by fellow men and women who wish for this evil to stop. However, this band of brothers must face their own worries, fears, and temptations to do what is best for the world. They find that sometimes you must fight together and apart in order for everyone to be successful.


Look I know that my description is terrible. I get that It's not near what it should be. However, if I were to right more it would just be spilling the whole move, so let's move on. 


This fist time that I have ever watched this movie it was for the Best Picture Challenge I did a few years ago. I loved that movie. I thought it was beautiful, and well thought out story. However, I didn't pay as much attention to the relationships between the characters as I did this time. I cried. There are so many people who joined to help Frodo from the start. I know that they became (and will become) friends later as we go. However, I mean I can not believe that I took me so long to just love Sam the way I did. I remember Sam being the best guy for Frodo in the third film. I forgot how great he is for him in this movie as well. 

I also love how sometimes it's hard to be a friend when you are going through things. Like I have never heard anyone in this Fandom say that Frodo is a bad friend. Frodo has the weight of the world on his shoulders, and he is now in a constant battle for his mind and soul with the new ownership of this ring. We all get to a point in our lives that we are not capable of being the best friend we can be. We get to the end of ourselves just to survive day to day that we can't always be there the way you want to be. That is why being a good friend when you can be is so important! That way the people that you love know that you love them. That when you have been there for people they know that when you say you can't that you really can't, not because you don't want to. 

Frodo does try to leave the group at the end of this film, not because he doesn't trust them, but because of the situation that his has been put in that has caused death and destruction around the fellowship already. He is trying to save the people that he cares for. He is trying to be a good friend by not having them suffer anymore with what he is dealing with. 

Sam. Some is truly a great friend. Not only does he go on this trip, that he never wanted to go on, but he follows Frodo to the scariest places that he has been! He knew that he was not made fur such adventures and still went on them anyways. He was scared, and wanted to go home, but literally still almost died to keep his promise to not loose him. Sam is the kind of friend that I admire to be be.


Speaking of admiring. That was this month's theme! This was actually my favorite present to give everyone. It was also the hardest to find a gift for. I was having a hard time showing someone that they are admired without throwing them a party or something. That is until I read something about awards being a way to show that they are admired for an area they work in or their expertise. Then I felt stupid because I enjoy watching the Oscars. I mean I should have known this one of the top of my head and I didn't. 

Anyways, this month's gift was a little statue that had a man holding a star. It just makes my heart happy but I love doing it. I love that little statue and I am very happy I found it.
