Transcript: Okay, so, I’m recording this for Alex, but I figure there will probably be other people who would be interested in hearing it as well. When I was a kid, I read the Hobbit with my dad for the first time when I was five years old, and he sang a lot of the songs for me. So even when I read it now, I have this—this tune in my head that is the one that my dad sang for me when I was a kid. And I was watching the Hobbit trailer again, for the movie, and of course, their tune isn’t the same as the one I know, so, I’m gonna sing the first couple of verses of Over the Misty Mountains Cold because I wanted to share the tune that I know.

Far over the Misty Mountains cold,
To dungeons deep and caverns old,
We must away, ere break of day,
To seek the pale enchanted gold.

The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
While hammers fell like ringing bells,
In places deep, where dark things sleep,
In hollow halls beneath the fells.

You get the idea.

My name is Jared, or you can just call me Tchy. I'm a queer kid just kickin' around on the internet. I like writing, fantasy, late nights, books, lions, punk, and queer politics. I sustain myself mainly on a diet of chocolate, salt and vinegar chips, and strong tea in a mug decorated with dirty Shakespeare quotations. Sometimes I like to draw inappropriate things.

This is who I am.
This is my face.
These are some tags.
These are my people.
These are my minions.
I curate this collection.
I live in the Queer Haus.
I have an Etsy shop.
Leave me a question.
Leave me something more.

If you need me, I will listen.
