where in middle earth?

the rings thing

We've now seen two countries, Rohan and Gondor (well, a bit of Gondor!) that we hadn't seen in FOTR. Given the choices so far, where in Middle Earth would you want to live? If you answered this last year for FOTR, has your answer changed, and why?

I honestly can't remember whether I answered this last year not, but I think if I did I would have said Mirkwood. I know we haven't seen it, but I would still like to live there. Sounds a bit more interesting than Rivendell or Lothlórien. I'm not saying that because a certain blond archer lives there, either. Well, it might have come into it a bit. In all the fic I've read, and when I read the actual books themselves, Mirkwood appeals to me more than anywhere else in Middle Earth. It seems that I could find time to myself more easily than anywhere else, and I'd need it to reconcile the fact that I was living in a whole, like, different world.

What a crappy answer. Sorry.
