A few ways to tell if you are obsessed with LOTR

[Pippin Took434]

1. you get upset because you cant find the Misty Mountains or Mirkwood on a map.

2.you name a child or pet after a character

3. you throw your wedding ring into the fire to see the runes on it.

4. you are afraid of crows, black horses, and mines of any sort.

5(i got most of these off of the lord of the rings.com, but this is my fave) everytime you ride the merry go round, you find yourself screaming "what news of the north riders of rohan?"

[Pippin Took434]

here is one i forgot: you run up to bears in the woods screaming "Beorn!!"

[Prince Faramir]

u read the book like me when u've got a politics a-level exam the next day !!!!!!

[The Black Lieutenant]

You spend most of your waking hours portraying one of Tolkien's characters on ezboard.

[webwizard333]

Everytime you see a hill you climb all around it looking for hobbit holes.

You call your enemies Sauron.

In a fight with your "Sauron" you throw firecrackers at him.

If you are losing a fight with your "Sauron" you pint up, yell, "The Eagles are coming!" and throw another firecracker in his or her eye.

You live in a hollowed out extinct volcano staring incessantly into a glass paperweight.

You are constructing a massive boat to put your elves on and sail with them to Valinor. (by elves I mean the little garden gnomes you stole from your neighbors)

[Darth Tater]

don't you mean theonering.net? that's where those are from. I'll think some up later

[Idril Celebrindal]

oh dear... I'm guilty of some of them (at least one while drunk, ok? I'm not that bad when sober!)... exactly which ones I will remain silent on...

[Spock1]

you begin to think you're all knowing like "sharky" and post recklessly.

:)

[Prince Faramir]

if there are black thumb marks on numerous pages of the book.

u lend ur book out for a while so u can look forward to getting it abck and start reading it again :)

[Inoldonil]

Hey Idril, where'd you find that Tengwar font?

[Idril Celebrindal]

I can't remember, I'm afraid. I've had it for years.

[Inoldonil]

Well, it looks very nice. Although I'm not buying those short carriers, the characters used to have vowels over them when no preceding consonant is available. Their said to look like undotted i's, but they don't look that much like them. Look at the Ardalambion Tengwar at the top of this page (http://www.uib.no/people/hnohf/).

[anduin]

I've got the fonts Inoldonil, but I am not sure if they will work with a PC. I'll go ahead and send them to you.

[SauronDL]

Is anybody guilty of any of these?


- SauronDL
~ In bronia lacha, tôl acharn.
: ezOP at A Hall of Rohan

[Shanamir Duntak]

6-You replay one the 3 trailers more than once in a week.
7-You are working to finish your chainmail by the EntmootCon

Guilty.

[SauronDL]

:lol:

[Idril Celebrindal]

I already said, I am guilty of... some of the above...

[Elenna]

LoL...... :lol: .....too funny.

Oh and by the way........ :evil: I am so terribly guilty.


Here's another:

You sleep with you favorite Tolkien book under your pillow at night.



Elenna ~ Lady of the Stars

[Shanamir Duntak]

You sleep with your favorite Tolkien Book in your face because you read (too) late in the night AGAIN

[X Rogue]

:lol: BOTH those things have happened to me.....several times.

[Comic Book Guy 2001]

You don't let your daughter marry a man until he is king of two realms.

[Elenna]

You might be obsessed with LotR if your custom made attire is yellow pants with a blue feather in your cap.

Elenna

[Prince Faramir]

come on entmoot everyday to post and read!!!!!!

[Elenna]

Thats the saddest one!

When your daily ambition is to go to Tolkien web sites and post and read everyday.

You called it Prince Faramir! You take the Lembas on this one.


Elenna ~ Lady of the stars

[dunedain lady]

You have a recipe for Lembas

[Elenna]

Hey, I know a guy (vaguely) whose grandmother has a recipie for Lembas!


Elenna ~ Lady of the Stars

[Manwe Sulimo]

:lol: Get it off her, I's gots to have it!

Your life evolves around a book that is so worn on all the pages that you can barely read what's on them, but that's no problem, as you know all of it by heart...

You wake up in the morning, wondering where you are, where your Ring are, and if Sam is all right...

When sick, you travel to the capital and demands that the king shall heal you, since the hands of the king is the hands of a healer(Okay, this one doesn't work for all you americans, but I live in Norway, and we have a king here...)

You set up guard on any local volcano, just in case some hobbit tries to sneak up and throw a magic ring in it...

Whenever you see a spider, you scream in joy, squashes it, and says "I may not be able to kill you, Shelob, but I killed another of your offspring!!!!!"

[Prince Faramir]

me think lembas would taste similar to 'chorley cakes' a northern delicacy [sp?] well full of fat, similar to shortbread..... yummy yummy anyone ever tried it? i suppose u'd have to live in GREAT Britain...

[Elenna]

YW and I always imagined that Lembas tatsed kinda like quaker rice cakes. They even come in all sorts of flavors, some even tatse good!

Manwe, thats too funny~ I'm still laughing.

I am guilty of giving my books to a friend and calling her periodically (ya know every few hours) to make sure they are ok. I also await anxiously for their return so I can read them again. Someone else posted that one already..

Elenna ~ Lady of the Stars

[anduin]

Oh, I don't know....the fact that I've come here everyday for the last two years is somewhat an indication. ;) Ummm wait, wait a minute....that just means I'm obsessed with the internet or maybe Entmoot. Uh, nevermind. ;)

[IronParrot]

Obsessed with LOTR? Well, there were those guys in Kazakhstan... I wish I could have joined them.

I think I read it on a T-shirt once, but...

You know you're obsessed with LOTR when you refuse to eat melons, because mellon means friend, and you don't eat your friends.

[webwizard333]

You're making posts on a board about the obsession of Lord of the Rings when you're obsessed with it. :lb

[Manwe Sulimo]

Well... good one, really...

You run into hiding whenever a flock of birds are flying your way, since they are the spies of the enemy.

You have secretly found out who in LoTR all of your friends are, even those who aren't fans.

The girl/man of your dreams is a character from the LoTR.

Whenever you go to a seafood-restaurant, you order "delicioussssssss fisssssssshessssssss", which you eat with your bare hands and teeth, after first scolding the waiter for burning the deliciousssssss fisssssshesssss.

You are wondering how you are to celebrate Durins Day this year.

You follow the Hobbiton calendar.

You celebrate the Gondorian new year instead of the normal.

On your birthdays you hold a big party, inviting all your friends and relatives, give them presents, and hold a speech saying that you don't know half of them as well as they deserves, before putting on your wedding-ring and walking off, thinking noone saw you.

When out walking in the forest you keep your eyes up for elves, and you keep thinking you heard someone singing some silly song about the rivers and some girl, and sometimes think you can glimpse a man in a yellow hat running around.

You avoid all willow trees, out of fear that they will open up and swallow you.

Each night you sit down by your bed and ask Manwe, Lord of the Breath of Arda, to send his eagles to watch over you, Ulmo, Lord of the Waters, to keep evil away from your fresh water supplies, and Varda Elbereth, maker off all the stars, to let the stars shine on your paths.

You change between saying "Elen' sÃ*la lúmenn' omentielvo" and "Namárie, tenn' enomentielvo, mellon!" to your friends when parting.

[Manwe Sulimo]

Thought of one more...

You sit at work and think up 12 new ways to tell that you are obsessed with the LoTR...

I'm very guilty of that last one... :/

[Elenna]

Definetly obsessed ! :)


Elenna ~ Lady of the Stars

[Shanamir Duntak]

You were paid to think about that? :p

[webwizard333]

I think he meant when he was supposed to be working on something.

[Shanamir Duntak]

And by doing this instead, he actually got paid to think about this... and that's what I meant.

[Theodred21]

I just read this thread, IRonParrot talked about a shirt that he had, notice my sig. is practically just like it!
Only I read about someone who brought a poster to a baseball game who had that on his poster, I didn't know that they made shirts with those words on them! :lol:

[Manwe Sulimo]

Yeah, in a way I was payed to think about that... I wouldn't be if they knew about it, though... :/
I am really payed to do something else, yeah...

[Theodred21]

You seem to be paid to do alot of things! :lol:

[Manwe Sulimo]

Well... not really... I'm paid to do some really boring work, that I can't stand doing all day long without breaks, so I visit here and some other boards...

[Manwe Sulimo]

Well, now I am sitting at work, bored as hell, and i thought I'd see if I couldn't come up with some more of these...

Whenever someone says "Good morning" to you, you start discussing whether he meant that it is a good morning, he wishes you a good morning, or states that it would be a good morning if you weren't there.

All old men with long gray beards and hair are to be called Gandalf, and asked to make fireworks. And to be considered Old friends of the family.

If any old gits come into your home, and asks to see your Ring, you give it to him, and willingly let him throw it into the fire, and afterwards follow his advice to travel for months through enemies etc, just to throw your own ring into a volcano, not even demanding that the git should replace your Ring.

You are happy if some creature bites off your finger.

[webwizard333]

You purposely lose a valued treasure just for the purpose of getting a group together and going on a "quest" to reclaim it.

You routinely break objects in half and then have them fixed.

[Manwe Sulimo]

You expect small birds to fly up to you and start talking to you.

Whenever you sea a raven, you greet it corteously, and is offended if it does not reply in the same way.

Whenever you are near a lake, and see the rings from a fish jumping, you get scared crazy, back away from the waterline, and screams that everyone must watch out for the watcher in the water.

You try to open doors by yelling Mellon at them.

When that doesn't work, you drag out your secret map, and search for hidden runes on it telling you how to get in.

Whenever someone offers you cookies, you take one, bite of a corner, and say that you thought it was Waybread, such as the Men of Dale make.

Your cabin out in the forests is placed on a platform high up in a maple tree, but if someone says that to you, you tell them they are wrong, it is called a flet, and it is a mallorn tree.

Your cabin by the lake is placed far out in the lake, on high, wooden poles, connected to the shore by a long wooden bridge that can be removed if danger threatens.

You cannot go trekking in the mountains without constantly worrying about giants hurling boulders at you.

You spend every night walking around in the forests near your home hoping to find elves to practice your elvish with.

If you meet any elves in the forest, you actually know enough elvish to hold a conversation with them. Even if you have a rather old fashioned accent(it's not your fault that they don't speak it like they did in Doriath in the First Age)

You believe that the entire neighborhood is whispering about the fact that you have actually been in a boat.

Whenever you come to a stream, you stop, tilt your head and tries to hear the sound of Ulmo.

You hire a boat fully equipped with seismographic equipment and use it to search the entire sea-bottom of the western Atlantic, searching for the Lands that sunk, and hoping to find traces of all the famous places like the buryal site of Túrin in the Brethil Forest. The thing you are the most excited about, though, is the fact that you might even find the home of your ancestors, Númenor.(You don't worry about the fact that it costs a coupla hundred grand a day to loan the boat)

You know for a fact that the second cousin of the wife of your great-great-great-great-etc-etc-etc-fathers sisters husband's brother was the daughter of the man who was number 15 in the line of heirs for the Crown of Gondor in the second century of the Fourth Age.

But that is nothing compared to what you discovered yesterday: Your next-door-neighbor is a direct descendant from the neighbor of King Bard of Dale from the time he lived in Osgaloth.

You don't think of Tolkien as the inventor of Middle Earth, he just edited and translated the Red Book of Westmark, and published it as a history book.

You travel to some of the oldest cities in the world(Ur and such), and search the ruins for any old documents that might yield some more information about the third age. You would also be satisfied with finding any graffiti, as long as it read something like "Gandalf Grey was here 3/7-2789 TA" and "Saruman was here too, 3/7-2789 TA(evening)" and "Why are you following me, Curunir?" and "What? that is ridiculous! Off course I'm not following you around! I just happened to be passing through just out of sight of you..."

When you are to build a new home, you send a letter to "The King under the Mountain, Erebor, Rhovanion", requesting the assistance of the dwarves.

When you get that letter in return, you try sending it to "King Thranduil, Mirkwood" requesting that he forwards it to the King under the Mountain. And you add a note asking if some of his elves might have the possibility to come and help with the garden.

You get pissed off because you couldn't choose quenya as your third language(don't know how it is elsewhere, here we have norwegian as first, english as second, and can choose what we want as third... choose from a few, that is... german and french are often the only alternatives, some places have spanish, dunno if there are any more alternatives... :/ )



I realize that some of these have nothing to do with the LoTR, but rather other of the Professor's works, but I hope that's okay... If not, some admin or mod just edit them out or something...

[Elenna]

I think you're funny! :)

....and you have way too much time on your hands....

Elenna ~ Lady of the Stars

[Manwe Sulimo]

I know I have to much time on my hands... but luckily, someone is paying me for the time spent thinking of that kind of things... :p
But thanks for the compliment! :)

[Elenna]

your welcome!

Elenna ~ Lady of the Stars

[ladyisme]

If every July 4th you look at the fireworks and think that they're just not as good as Gandalf's.

[Manwe Sulimo]

I think I'm kinda guilty of that one... only not 4.july, but new years eve... :p (I'm not an american, the only time we have foreworks is on new years eve... :p )

[Shanamir Duntak]

Here in Quebec, we have some at the "Saint Jean-Baptiste" (night of june 23th)

And in july end up to mid august, we have about 6 representations of 30-45 minutes every 3 days. That's called "Les Grands Feux Loto-Québec" It's an annual competition of fireworks from around the world. This year, South Africa was incredible!

But I still hope I'll one day see that firework dragon live!

[hiku747]

i know this is a little late now, but anyhoo...........
Darth Tater: those reasons that pippintook posted were from the onering.net but i go to the messageboard where he got them from, and thats where they came from. othere people got the reasons from theonering.net and posted them up on the other site. the other messageboard is quite good too, i suggest anyone try it: http://www.thelordoftherings.com/

hopefully the link is working, the page is down right now! :(

[hiku747]

i remembered one i read, it most like came from theonering.net:

your car alarm shouts, "FEAR, FIRE, FOES, AWAKE!!"

*chuckle*:D

[ringbearer]

I constantly wish I could have lived there (Middle Earth)!

[Ñólendil]

Oh, but you do! All the cool people and their stuff have just left, that's all ;)

[ringbearer]

I should have said, I constantly wish I could have lived there (Middle Earth) at that time!

[Blackboar]

I wish I could think up good ones of these!!

[Legolaslvr!]

Lady of Rohan & I were fooling around @ school & she said U know your 2 obsessed when... you throw b-day parties 4 the cast members!

[Gwaimir Windgem]

That has to do with obsession for actors, not for the Lord of the Rings story. But I did celebrate Tolkien's 111th...

[WallRocker]

Didn't Everyone?:D

[Gwaimir Windgem]

I'm sure they did. But with a cake?

[Nurvingiel]

You're obsessed with LotR if...

... you try to get nine people together for a backpacking trip, no more, no less.

... or, if you have thirteen people, you insist on bringing one more person who lives in a rural community and doesn't like adventures. (Hobbit)

... you name your bicycle Bill, after Sam's pony. (I actually did this.)

... you relate LotR to practically all other books, movies etc. you see. Then, you actually find them, like in Babylon 5, for example.

[Gwaimir Windgem]

Hehe. I like the bycicle one. :D

[Elrénia]

When you've just had a really bad exam the day before you say "a red sun rises, blood has been spilled this night."

I don't know anyone who does that!

[Guardian_of_the_Forest]

I know someone who's daughter is named Arwen.

I do battle with macroeconomics on Thursday, I just might say that...

[Legolas_GreenLeaf]

Here's a few simple ideas to tell if you're obsessed with LOTR...

-You celebrate the birthdays (let alone, remember them) of characters from the Lord of the Rings. (Recently was Elijah Wood- Jan. 28)

-You day-dream about LoTR in school constantly! or at work!

-You've seen "The Two Towers" between 5-10 times.

-You've had atleast 3 dreams that you lived in Middle Earth.

-You have a crush on a LoTR character. (A'hem... Orlando, Viggo, Elijah...):D

-You forget that Middle Earth isn't real and you get somewhat carried away.... ..and then you get mad when you force yourself to believe that Middle Earth isn't a real place....

-You wear a gold ring on a chain around your neck.

-You name your pet after a LoTR character. (I named my 4 puppies sam, pippin, frodo, and merry):D

-You catch yourself talking in a Middle Earth language.

-When you see an old man with a gray beard, you think of Gandalf!

-Oh yeah..... and you sit at your computer and talk about Lord of the Rings all day!!

[Narsil's Master]

i'd say im ubsessed because i spend half my time fighting orcs and nazgul in my head

[Nurvingiel]

Originally posted by Legolas_GreenLeaf

When we were kids, I named my guinea pig Pippin, and my brother named his Merry.

(I just put fenders on my bicycle, Bill, who was previously mentioned here.)

[#1GaMGeeGuRL]

These are from my own personal experience:
1. People start calling you Smeagol to tease you because you're so good at hobbit-genealogy
2. Any character you like (in my case Sam) people start refering to as their girlfriend/boyfriend. I get called 'The Other Hobbit Lass' because Sam's married.
3. Your friends will not sit through FoTR or TTT because you feel the incessant need to point out everything they did wrong. Loudly.
4. You quote your favorite characters (in my case Sam, Pippin, Merry, Gandalf, Boromir and Faramir) to answer people in everyday conversations.
5. When filling out a form and it calls for your nationality you catch yourself raising your hand and asking why there is no hobbit box. (Or any other of your favorite races).
6. While watching FoTR your own family gets annoyed with you because you can say the lines better than the actors and it didn't take you as long to memorize them.

All4now!

[Legolas_Frodo_Aragorn]

when anyone asks where your from, you always say the shire

[Elvellyn]

Some others:
Algebra homework takes asecond to tokien.
You convince yourself that tolkien really is algebra homework
You call your ring "the precioussssssss"
You sign official documents with your elvish name
People in the movie theater throw popcorn at your head for yelling at the movie screeen (dont ask)
You daydream about a LotR character
You start referring to cornbread as lembas
You want to name your children galadriel and gil-galad
You can quote entire passages of LotR from memory

But obsessed is such a strong word

[Nurvingiel]

You call your room in your university residence "Number 3 Bagshot Row" because the construction outside is really pissing you off! (See the Scouring of the Shire.)

[#1GaMGeeGuRL]

Originally posted by Legolas_Frodo_Aragorn

My algebra homework and any other homework I have ALWAYS takes second to Tolkien! I love the name Galadriel and I am going to name a daughter that someday. Also there'll be an Eowyn because she's my favorite female character in LoTR. But that won't be for quite sometime. Back to this particular thread, I sign everything with 'Daisy Willow from Archet' because that is my hobbit name and I do live in the Shire thank you very much.

Some more are:
1. You walk down the street contantly looking up at the sky because you're convinced you're some relation to Bilbo and Smaug's friends will be after you. (I haven't actually done this persay.)
2. You go into a jewlery store and in a confidential whisper ask if the Elvish jewelers are finished with your Evenstar.
3. You are always dashing to the newspapers to inform them of the hobbit and dragon sightings of late.

I'm reading The Hobbit right now and kind of have dragons on the brain. Teehee...

[Legolas_Frodo_Aragorn]

why do i fit some of these reasons? LOL

[hobinator]

im not sure if anyone has said this one
when you are sick you cough in the sound of gollum to freak your friends out

[Nurvingiel]

No, no one's said that one yet. Whoa! :)

[Fimbrethil]

I'm new and just loved some of these.So I decided to think of my own.
1.You are constantly running after eagles screaming"Gwaihir Windlord take me to Rohan!"
2.In your spanish class you get sent to the principles office for telling your teacher that she should not utter the language of Mordor here.
3.You are so obsseded that you write a sperate story for Aragorns made up sister. (THe sad part is I have a friend who is doing that.)
4.When you walk in the forest with some friends you find yourself saying"THis forest is old,so old it makes me feel young as I have not felt since I have travelled with you.

I hope you don't think these are stupid. Like I said I'm new.

I am Fimbrethil. NO I will not tell treebread whither I went he must come find us entmaidens(look at my garden isn't it pretty)!

[eowyngirl14]

I like the spanish class one! welcome! Is your friend writing about someone named Aralorn my any chance??

[Elvellyn]

3.You are so obsseded that you write a sperate story for Aragorns made up sister. (THe sad part is I have a friend who is doing that.)

You shouldnt pick on me like that Jennifer its not that sad
Heres another
your parents ground you from Entmoot saying youre crazy for spending so much time on the internet to which you reply
"We're not crazy are we preciousssss? No, no. We just hates the nassssssty hobbitsessss."

[Nurvingiel]

Welcome Fimbrethil! You're ideas aren't stupid at all! Just take it in context, we're writing about being so obsessed with LotR we imagine our last names are Gamgee, own swords, and name our firstborn son Frodo.

[Elvellyn]

Im sorry, I just cant help but thinking...

8 year old kids of normal people...
Sarah:Guess what. My name is hebrew for princess.
Jane: Really? I think mine means blessesd one

8 year old kids of tolkien-obsessors
Gil-galad: My name is elvish for starlight
Tinuviel: Really? Mine means nightengale.
Arwen: i am Arwen Undomiel, daughter of Elrond ,Evenster of my people
Gil-galad: Oh yeah! Well Elrond Had to get his ring from gil-galad
Arwen: Well gil-galad dies!!!!
Gil-galad: Well Aragorn and Arwen get married! EEEEwwww!
*Aragorn and Arwen blush*
"Aragorn and Arwen sittin in the tree..."

[Nurvingiel]

Hahahahaha! :D :D :D :D :D !!!

Oh my goodness that was sooo funny.

That's all for now.

[Elvellyn]

you call your gueinea pig Shelob (she bit me once)
you name your pet chickens after hobbits-
Elanor
Rosie
Lobiela
Goldilocks
Estella
Diamond
Daisy
Marigold
and May :D

I promise im not crazy

yeah right:D ;)


Note: This one is especially embarassing when you are slightly dislexic and accidently tell your friends that you named your hobbits after chickens. That one got a couple funny looks.

[Elvellyn]

the song stuck in your head was written by tom bombadil

[Pimpernel]

i got one that me and my friend do,
you act out scenes w/ Frodo and the ringwraiths.
i do that, i have this sweatshirt with a huge hood and i put it over my eyes and sniff, and my friend has the 'ring' and she does Frodo so well! its awesome!
oh! i got another one:
you write essays for school about LotR
i did that once too! the essay was really good, too! i got 100! teehee, LotR helps!
gee, could i be obsessed?

[eowyngirl14]

hee hee ee! I did a report on fotr last year for english!! It was really really fun! I got an A+ on it!

[Elenessiel]

You forget that the French "cueillir" means "to gather" because it's too close to the Elvish "to live."

Your teachers have all learned to recognize Elvish.

Whenever you're worried, your hand leaps to the ring on your necklace, and you begin stroking it, muttering things like "precious.

Every time it snows, you and your siblings reenact the scene on Caradhras in full.

The cat living in your garage is named Precious, you tried to bury your dead gerbils Legolas, Meriadoc, and Pippin in canoes and float them downstream, and you've always feared Balrogs more than boogiemen.

[eowyngirl14]

Thats really funny! I have a hampster whose name is Scabbers! Maybe when he dies I'll put him in a little canoe and float him down the stream in my backyard!

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Elvellyn

So Elvellyn does your gueinea pig have 8 legs?:D

[Fimbrethil]

I got another one:
You have a party with 4 of your shortest friends(hobbits) 1 one of your cutest friends(elf) 1 friend that reminds you of a darwf(darwf)1 friend that you think would make a great Aragorn. You bring out a bowl full of water and you set it down waiting for the water to settle then stand before your friends and ask in a clear voice "Who whishes to look into the mirror of galadriel?"

[Varda Oiolosseo]

obsessed with LOTR? ...sounds about right!

My mum thinks I need mental help!
Half way through a conversation I'll say "Rohan? did you just say Rohan?"
and in school my friend was talking to me and she said something and i thought she said Mikwood! I keep doing it all the time!

[mallondwen]

I am guilty of almost everything on these lists; can’t help it though. I have two rabbits named Rosie and Elenor, I have the ring on a chain on my neck, I walk in the woods with my eyes up, I have actually sometimes walk in the woods predawn, refer to certain breads as lembas, call my enemies �yurch�, and I walked in the woods with my little sis and said "This forest is old, so old it makes me feel young as I have not felt since I have travelled with you Children.� and got a glare only a hobbit can make, And a whole lot more too.. I’m quite obsessed
Here are a few that are not listed, that I am also guilty of:

You know your obsessed when you…
1. sit up in the highest limbs of trees for hours upon end and listen to the wind (and getting some pretty weird looks from people passing by on the street while you are at it)
2. fall asleep in a tree and wake up three hours later, again
3. turn in notes and homework not only on LOTR but in tengwar
4. seen the FOTR well over 30 times and seen TTT over 5 and counting
5. find at least 10 comparisons to LOTR everyday
6. your friends begin to avoid you b/c they know that if you start talking it will be on LOTR and then you won’t shut up
7. you are able to complete all the lines in FOTR and TTT before the entire line is out of the other persons mouth
8. you are able to speak, and translate all the Elvish
9. trying to learn archery while riding bareback on a horse
10. call your mother ‘nanneth’ and your father ‘adar’
11. Greet friends, family and answer the phone with “Mae Govannen Mellyn/ Mellon�
12. And always say farewell with “until we meet again� or “Namarie�
13. Find yourself insulting others in Sindarin and saying things like “by the Valar� “sweet Elbereth� and “Valar protect/save us�
14. Sub-consciously start talking in old English
15. refer to all redwood trees as mallorn trees mis- identified
16. every time you go to a lake or to the ocean you sing the song of the sea!

When did shelob get 4 of her legs cut off?

And Elvellyn to you her eyes look weird? Are you loony or is your pet really turing into a gaint spider? And if so I think I killed one of her offspring a minute ago. HAHA I'm soooooooo funny!

[Elvellyn]

Are you loony or is your pet really turing into a gaint spider?

Maybe a little of both

[Elvellyn]

Im finally at 50! Hurray im an enting!
I still dont think im obsessed! (even thoughi did just spend the last hour and a half finding an avatar)

[Nurvingiel]

I'm not obsessed either. I don't even have any LotR posters in my room! But that was only because I was like "Sam or bust" and the local poster sale didn't have Sam ones.

[Elf Girl]

Remember You Know You Like Tolkien Too Much When...? In it Rogue Elf, (Now Rana Eressea or something) said:

You wear a ring around a chain on your neck and never take if off (unless you take a shower).

I wear a ring on a chain around my neck and never take off, even if I take a shower!

People who weren't around for that thread should definately read at least some of it (its like 100 pages long) It's hilarious!

[Blackboar]

I've read that thread, all of it and I am definately obcessed occording to everyone that postd in that thread;) :D

[Jesus Freak]

Hey you know you are obsessed when you think you are Aragorn reincarvated.And when you go around killing imaginary orcs with a stick!
I know of someone like that.

Oh and what do you think of my poem.

The Dwarves ov Moria du greedily and deep,
and down thier walls dark and steep they woke a ballrog of ancient sleep, and though the Dwarves meant no harm,
the Ballrog woke with such alarm; the fire and flame did ordain the ruller under the mountain.:D

LOL :D

[mallondwen]

Ok, I’ve thought of a few more…
(guilty of all:rolleyes: )

1. you refuse to answer to anything besides your Elvish name

2. write a note to a friend and don’t realize that its in tengwar until they pass it back with a confused look (or glare)

3. practice walking on top of the snow every time you get some

4. everyone who knows you knows exactly what you're talking about when you say "the movie" or "the book(s)"

5. when told to "just draw the first thing you think of" you draw something or someone from LOTR... everytime

I can’t think of anymore right now but when I do, I’ll post them

[Laurelyn]

AAAAHH!!! YIPPEE! It's the return of YKYLTTMW, or something like it! JOY! Wheeeeeeeeeeeee! *is v. happy*

YKYLTTMW??

Okay... You Know You're ...... what does it stand for?

Edit: You Know You Love Tolkien Too Much When

(when you can figure out acronyms to do with loving Tolkien too much!)

[Elvellyn]

I gave my friend some lembas bread
Then my nosey brother said
"I think you're obsessed"
He should be impressed
That I've got so much knowledge in my head.

Hey look at that!
I wrote a limerick:p :D

[Nurvingiel]

I had a dream about being an elf, twice, and one dream where I was fighting orcs. I'm not making this up!

Obsessed? Who knows what my subconscious is trying to tell me...

... you name your bicycle Bill, after Sam's pony. (I actually did this.)

... you relate LotR to practically all other books, movies etc. you see. Then, you actually find them, like in Babylon 5, for example.

YOU'RE A B5 FAN, TOO?......dang caps lock...... I have been looking for a B5 fan forever!
You know you're obsessed when......
1:You talk about nothing but LOTR.
2:You pretend you are Aragorn.
3:Your life revolves around watching FOTR or TTT.
4:You study the family trees of hobbits & elves.
5:Your screen name is Estel.(13)
6:You go on the Entmoot everyday.
7:You post about how obsessed you are.
8:You dream about fighting orcs, balrogs, & Uruk-Hai. As Aragorn. And winning.
I am guilty of all of the above. Gotta go.....

[Nurvingiel]

Guilty of 6, 7, and 8. Except in my dreams, I was myself, Sam, and an elf.

B5 Rules!

Edit: PM me about B5 any time Estel13! :)

[Mystic Warrior]

:D Or how about, You pretend that the characters are all real and you try to speak in the elf language they give you? Or use the code in the back of the books, or sing all their songs and start calling your friend's names from the book. I have done all of these too many times, and I have done a lot of you alls too.

[Pimpernel]

i got one:
your aim profile is all written in the third person w/ precious as every other word.
oh! another!
you wear the ring an a chain around your neck and absentmindedly stroke it
and another:
the only dreams you remember all have something to do with LotR
and:
(i might have already put this one)
you fall asleep listening to a LotR soundtrack so that you'll dream about it
and:
you have your Pippin action figure over your bed sword-drawn to protect you from non-LotR dreams.
you kiss Pippin's face on the Fellowship poster over your bed every night before you go to sleep
thats all for now, and of course i do all of them!!! yay for me!

Who's your fave character in B5? Mine's Garibaldi. The guy ROCKS!!!!x9999. I'm off to start that thread..... You'll probably be the first one there! ;) :p ;) :p

[rambeaux]

You listen to the BBC version on cassette as you drive, then you watch the extended version DVD when you get home, then you listen to the movie soundtracks when you turn off the DVD. THEN YOU READ THE BOOKS AGAIN!

[mallondwen]

i can't believe it, i actually can not think of anymore ways to tell if i'm obsesed... besides, of course, (someone already posted it) coming to entmoot everyday and posting about how obsessed we are, which is pretty sad... but, WHO CARES!!!:D :D
but i'll try:
1. your aim away messages are all in Sindarin
2. your desktop is all nature colors and nature icons
3. you sleep on the floor instead of a bed
4. you make a Legolas costume for halloween but wear it all the time or fun
5. whenever you practice archery, or horseback riding you wear the costume
6. your family begins looking at sychiatric institues for minors

i'm guilty of all, except the last one, family hasn't gone past joking on that one, thank God:D

[Elvellyn]

And the second one!
AND thethird one,
DEFINATELY the forth one,
Fifth too, but Legolasaction figure (every one rolls eyes and groans,)
Yes the last one! (Only Legolas!)

[samwise of the shire]

1. You cant see the wallpaper in your room because of all the LOTR posters and pictures you have hanging up.
2. You shout Norolim Asfaloth(or Bill) at your bike.
3. You name the river nearest to your house the Brandywine.
4. You walk 2/12 miles from your house over a gravel road in breeches, a big floppy t-shirt, and barefeet
5. You get ticked off at a kid in your school for calling Sam gay and hit him over the head with a bag
6. The said bag is painted on both sides with LOTR stuff
7. You buy hairy pony tails just so you can chop them up and glue them to your feet
8. You chase your dog with a stick you named Sting calling him an evil warg.
9. You're parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Siblings and friends have bought everythign for you a year in advance beacue they know what you want.
10.You know so much about LOTR and Middle Earth that your family just goes to you for all their LOTR related problem.

If you checked 1 you can know that you are obsessed. If you checked more than one you really need to see a phsyciatrist. If you checked all ten then there is not a soul on earth that can save you...so go and happy Tolkieniting...Oh forgot one more...You get on LOTR Personality tests and if you dont get your favorite character you do it over and over again till you do. Then you proclaim to the world that you are like so and so.
Cheers,
Sam who is guilty of most of the above

[Blackboar]

1) Yes, (Half Orli though, does that count?)
2)Yes, :o
3)There i no river anywhere near my house so I can't say yes to that:(
4)No, I dress more elvish like when I walk around;)
5)Yes:o
6)no, it was my school bag, but it had tippez "I am an Orli and Tolkien freak" on it.
7)no, Like I said! I dress more elvish like!
8)Only a joke...the dog loves it when I chase her. And she was an urukhai, not warg,
9)Well I don't know do I!;) ?
10) Yeah, totally!
11)Yep! Once! (The thing turned out to be broken in the end, stuck to Merry, they emailed me about it and apologized!)

[gimli7410]

u know ur obseesed with lotr when you either speak or write in elvish

[Elvedans]

A few more:
1) You get homesick if you don't read a bit of tolkien everyday.
2) You prefer your mates on the moot to the people you actually know.
3) You wanna live in new zealand and name your kids after elves and have a tolkien wedding.
4) You read every word of the appendixes because you don't wanna face the fact that you've finished the book.
5) You even read the publishing details etc because you love the book so much.
6) You sit there stroking the books and rub your face against it smelling the pages.
7) You hate all other fantasy things with a passion because you think they are stealing tolkien's ideas.
I could go on forever...

[mallondwen]

oh i am sooo guilty... i'm with Blackboar, i have more Elvish than hobbit intrest. My mother and i made this Legolas costume for me to where for halloween and still where it all the time for fun, especially when practicing my archery... the neighbors think i'm crazy:D :D and i love the looks i get... obsessed! what gave me away?...

[Elf Girl]

I am an Elf, so I wouldn't say I have "Elven interest" excactly, but I am happy as an elf so there you are.

[Elf Girl]

Here's another one:
-When you and your friend spend weeks making the banner of Gondor so you can take it to RotK.
-When you embroider "Frodo Lives" in huge letters on a huge piece of cloth. (Who, me???)

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nurvingiel

Is it ok to get plastic surgery to make my ears pointy. roflol!!!!

[Merlin]

1. You read all of Return of the King even the index at least 12 times.

2. Or you and your friends move around the playground in a circle trapping a few people at atime in the circle and say, " Well you have walked into a trap, your fellows from Hobbiton did the same, and one is dead and the rest are prisoners. Lay down your weapons! Then go back twenty paces and sit down. Any who try to break out will be shot!" then shout out as two of your friends fall to the ground and act like you shoot two of the prisoners. :D
Guilty and Guilty

[Estel13]

You want to get a PS2 just so you can play all of the LOTR games.

YES!!! I GOT A PROMOTION!!!!

And Merlin, I'm guilty of #1.:o :D

[Pimpernel]

you guys r making us feel so unobsesed!!! we dont have a costume..or plastic surgery, or a banner for RotK...
we do have some other things tho...and we're trying to get lotsa pics for our walls...but you guys are all so much more obsessed! poo... :: pouts and wonders how much plastic surgery for pointy ears costs ::

[Nurvingiel]

Well, Pimpernel, you do say "us" and "we". Maybe you are obsessed, eh my precious? :p

[Celebriel]

Here is one:

You ignore the fact that your air is being cut off by reading your LOTR All-In-One hardcover laying down.

anyway, WE IS OBSESSED!!!! yayayayayayayay!:D

[Celebriel]

I have recently taken to clinging to walls and saying mysteriously: "Their pace is quickened, they have caught our scent".

[Nurvingiel]

Shouldn't you be clinging to the floor? :p

[Elvedans]

How about when you can't get through the day without singing one of gollum's little songs at least twenty times and -get this- You sit there imagining that all the millions of tiny black dots on the plastic chair in front of you are an army of orcs and if you sway from side to side you can actually see them moving. Yes Miranda that was what i was doing an Monday while you were writing whatever it was you were writing!

I was writing my way of showing I'm obsessed with LOTR- The Precious aka my fan fic! I knew I was obsessed the day I put up my six foot high Legolas cardboard cut out of Legolas in my room when there's barely enough room for me!! Mx

[Elvedans]

I don't need cardboard cutouts to prove i'm obsessed - just ask the girl i sit next to in maths - shes had the full blast of my weirdness poor thing!!!

[Celebriel]

My contribution...

You know you're obsessed when you choose one of the main character as your husband/wife. Then you choose a home. Then you pick the names of your kids. Then you plot your own deaths to be as romantic as they can be.

*Sigh*

[Celebriel]

I hope you all know I am sarcastic, it may be a little difficult to tell, as I am told.

[Celebriel]

I am back, I just adore this thread.

I hiss at anyone who dares reach for my copy of LOTR (aka my bible).

I refer to my enemies as "filthy humans".

[Pimpernel]

you have all the dates of LotR (found in the appendices) in your calendar
you dress in black on the death days of any LotR character (Feb. 26 Boromir dies)
you have a 'memorial service' on the death day of any character's death (they're not characters btw, they're real!!!:D )
you plan a party for the day the precious is destroyed (Mar. 25)
you refer to the One Ring as the precious
-pimpernel
(im guilty of all of those:) )

[Nurvingiel]

When Safeway has a Two Towers/Kraft Dinner promotional display, you request that they give you the 5ft. tall cardboard Gandalf so you can put it in your room. (You live in a decent sized university dorm.)

Guilty of above.

Actually, I was going to give it to my boyfriend because it would be cool at house parties, and due to local space restrictions.

[azalea]

...when you feel like weeping because you heard Kraft put Gandalf in the aisle of a Safeway to promote buying their mac 'n' cheese.:rolleyes: :(

[Celebriel]

You know you are obsessed when you re-arrange the lyrics to Good Charlotte's "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" to sympathize with the extras in Helm's Deep...

I'd like to see them spend a week, living life out in Helm's Deep, I don't think they would survive. If they could spend a day or two walking in an Uruk-Hai's shoes, I think they'd stumble and they'd fall. They would fall.

Hehe. *Blush*

[Celebriel]

And when you ruin (or enhance) a pair of plain shoes by writing the Ring inscription on the four sides. Equipped with Elven swirls and brackets.

Guilty.

Sorry, I will take a break from this thread. ^_^

[samwise of the shire]

A guy at your school can't remember your real name, but remembers you by your favorite LOTR characters name.(happened to me yesterday)
You tell him either one with work. (did that today)
You're flattered that someone was about to call you by your favorite character(been that way since he told me)
You sign you're homework papers as Such and Such AKA so and so (do this all the time with my drama work)
Cheers,
Sam

[Nurvingiel]

:D That was so awesome! I love Good Charlotte! :D

Let me try...

Lifestyles of the Wizard Saruman
he's always a-choppin
choppin down trees
if Fangorn is such a problem
well he's got Orthanc
think we should stop himThe original chorus is:

Lifestyles of the rich and the famous
they're always complainin
always complainin
if money is such a problem
well they got mansions
think we should rob them

[Legolas_GreenLeaf]

LOL !! Good job Nurvingiel!:D ;)

[Celebriel]

Bravo, bravo, Nurvingiel!

[Celebriel]

By the by, just today I did an obsessed thing...

At lunch, my straw was rolling toward the edge of the table, but me, with my hands full, ould not stop it. It fell and I screamed dramatically "Gandalf!". My friends did not get it. ^_^''

[samwiselvr2008]

When you sighn your name by first writing your first two anitals (can't spell) and then your last name, and wishing that you had 2 middle names so that it would look more like JRR Tolkien, instead of just being JT (my last name), but your satisfied anyways, because you think that it is SO cool, and then you make a mental note to sighn your name like that on anything that you write, if your allowed to, just so that you can fill more like Tolkien.

[Gwaimir Windgem]

Sounds like a plan! :D

I have two middle names (so Ner-ner- ner- ner- ner!!)

I think that is a great idea so i will do that thanks!

[Nurvingiel]

Maybe I'll just decide that "Ruel" is my second middle name, even though I'm a woman.

[Elf Girl]

- Upon seeing two girls in blue jeans, blue backpacks, and blue coats standing next to each other, you cry, "THE BLUE WIZARdS! Hail, Istari!" and proceed to kneel at their feet. (Done it, but they were my friends, so they understood. Kind of.)

[Nurvingiel]

Or if you were to do this to elderly gentlemen with beards. I'm not that obsessed.

[Legolas_GreenLeaf]

At lunch, my straw was rolling toward the edge of the table, but me, with my hands full, ould not stop it. It fell and I screamed dramatically "Gandalf!". My friends did not get it. ^_^''

Celebriel...you know what is strange? I did the same thing w/ a pen! lol

[Pimpernel]

you know you're obsessed when...
1) you curl up in a ball on the floor, clutching your precious, if anyone's hand goes near it or anyone even mentions it
2) you absentmindedly finger your precious during class/work
3) you spend hours poring through LotR to prove a point to someone concerning it
ummmm.....
i might've done this one already:
4) dress in black on the deathday of any middle earth person (i.e. boromir's death was feb. 26)

[Nurvingiel]

You know you're obsessed when you make more than three references to LotR per day.

This many times per hour, and you're Legolas_GreenLeaf and Celebriel. (I wouldn't even think to equate my straw/pen falling off the table with Gandalf falling fighting the Balrog.) :D

I promise im not crazy

yeah right:D ;)


Note: This one is especially embarassing when you are slightly dislexic and accidently tell your friends that you named your hobbits after chickens. That one got a couple funny looks.

Elanor DIED!!:( :( :(

[Starr Polish]

You nearly write down "Catherine of Aragorn" instead of "Catherine of Aragon" on a World History test. Same goes for saying "Aragorn" instead of "Argon" when talking about chemistry. (But hey, Argon is a noble gas!)

You own and regularly talk to a Frodoll. You squealed loudly in a public place upon finding said Frodoll.

You have an outfit you refer to as your "hobbit-lass outfit".

If you're working and your supervisors can't find you, they just have to go to The Two Towers (I work at a theater).

[Gwaimir Windgem]

Ooooo... lucky you. :D My mom has a co-worker (at McDonald's) who has a second job at a theater, and she loves LOTR. Unfortunately, from what I've heard she seems to be something of a fangirl :( But O well, at least it must be the more mature variety! :)

Hehe, that is clever.

Look, I'm breaking one hundred posts. Tee hehe.

[Celebriel]

My oh my, tee hehe, look who's an Elf Warrior. *Does 'Go-me' dance and realizes she muct be reprectable now*

To stay on topic, the other day I was too tired to kick my friend after a witless insult, So I raised my foot and kicked aimlessly. Adding: "Bring your pretty face to my axe!", complete with Dwarven gusto!

[Estel13]

Hey, I'm an Elven Warrior, too! :p
Another way to tell if you're obsessed: You do all, and I mean ALL of your drama homework/profiles on Aragorn/Viggo Mortensen.
Quite guilty of that one. When my drama teacher gets tired of it, either she'll tell me or my grades will start to drop. (I always get A's on my drama work!) I'm off to surf the 'Moot.
;)

[Celebriel]

Ai, but I registered later than you. Sorry, I am very, very competitive. ^_^

I did all of my Crafts I projects on LOTR. Let's see...

1) Elven calligraphy in a Two Towers frame (all black and red, oh how I hate plaster!)
2) Blue moon made with LOTR in mind
3) LOTR keychain
4) Frodo sock puppet (which was bloody adorable! He had a little green wash-cloth cloak closed with a leaf-shaped ring cut in half, and tiny earring one-ring. hehe)

[Nurvingiel]

You'd be really obsessed Celebriel, if you were to bring your cute Frodo sock puppet everywhere with you. Or if you made a Sam one too, and then re-enacted all their scenes together.

It is a website revolving around Viggo Mortensen. It has art, news, and fun stuff like "The Secret Diaries" and "The Fellowship of the Pants".

Gondor has no pants, Gondor needs no pants.
Right...Unbuckle Merry!

*Sticks tongue out* Well, I registered after you. ^_^

To stay on topic: I assign all my friends Elven names.

[Gwaimir Windgem]

I just find out my Quenya name. :)

As always, I'm curious. What kind of Elvish do you use?

[Celebriel]

Ello, talking to me? I believe my name may be Sindarin, or perhaps a mixture of Quenya and Sindarin. I try to give all my names in this fashion. *Shrug*

I wish I could learn Quenya, but so much schoolwork. Actually I should be doing some right now. For a time, I tried to learn Tel'Mithrim (http://www.grey-company.org/) Elvish, but became frustrated with the inaccurasies of the words.

Homework, here I come! Tally ho!

[Gwaimir Windgem]

Not sure what Elvish you use? :confused:

[Celebriel]

What now? Celebriel is confused.

[Celebriel]

Eeep, Angel. Eliza Dushku. Grrr.

Sorry for getting off topic. To compensate, every time I walk in the woods I am compelled to say "I think we should get off the road" and then "Get off the road!". Tee hehe.

Tarry ho!

[azalea]

How about when you hear someone say "scouring," and you don't think of cleaning a tub.
Or you look at the screen for "departures" at the airport and think of Boromir.
Or if someone mentions "Three is Company" you don't think of Jack, Chrissy, and Janet. (okay, well that one wouldn't count if you're under 28)

[Pimpernel]

hey, im under 28, and i know that show!! its soo foony!! and i like whatsit called... 'taxi' i think....i like older shows and movies...off topic, sorry
anyway
1) you try to read the corresponding chapter in LotR to what happens every day (you must first have all dates on your very pretty LotR calendar)
2) you have a whole breifcase on your computter for LotR stuff and trillions of pics of your fav character (no...they're really real, but some people dont believe and we doesnt want to offend the little orcses, precious, no)
3) you frequently and accidentally revert to gollum-talk
ummm....thats all for now....i wish i could do better on #1 :(

I'd like to do that, but I'd probably lose some friends. My *friend* Caleb already thinks I'm way to obsessed about LOTR and Lord Aragorn. No, he's not my boyfriend. ;)

[Indril Anarion]

My friends and family already think I'm exaggerantly (if that's even a word) obssessed with LOTR and all things Tolkein. Here are some reason's why:

1) Quote any character's linefrom either the book or movie constantly
2) make up funny what-ifs (such as: what if Hobbits were musically inclined? I came up with the band Lil' Froddie and the SuperHobbits)
3) morph popular songs to LOTR themes (Like Elfheads: Oops I Killed an Orc Again) Find their homepage here:http://members.lycos.co.uk/greenleafgreenleaf/
4) Beg mom to cook mushrooms just to have the excuse to bring up Hobbits at the dinner table
5) Watch everything and read everything having to do with LOTR or Tolkein
6) Dream about fighting Orcs alongside Aragorn, Legolas, and Frodo
7) Day-dream about what it would be like to be an elf warrior princess
8) Walk with a posture like Galadreil and speak softly and elegantly (big plus with chiropractors and English teachers lol)
9) Demand why Lembas is not being served at your favorite restraunt
10) Look at a carrot and think of Merry's "I think I've broken something" line
11) Go to the park and sit by a tree waiting for it to talk to you (My obsession has not yet evolved to this state)
12) Go outdoors and think of Legolas and write poetry
13) Look into your bathtub and expect to see "things that were, things that are, and things that have not yet come to pass"
14) Think that all orange/red marbles are the eye of Sauron, and all blue marbles Plantirs
15) Frequently wear a ring around a chain (I actually have a replica of the Ring of Power)
16) Try and open your front door using the password: Mellon
17) Ask if all drinks come in pints
18) Substitute cursing when things go wrong with "Fool of a Took"
19) Referr to Cockroaches as Orcs and squash them with a shrill cry (Die, Orc!, This is for Boromir!, Don't mess with Fellowship, etc.)
20) Take advertising or street signs and spot LOTR names in them (There's this street near my school known as Bark Dull Way, and I can't help but think of Barak-Dul)

I am guilty of all these, unless stated otherwise. So, if you think I'm a big freak...I don't care, because I love LOTR!:D

[Nurvingiel]

I think we're all in the same boat - boat of Lorien that is!

My friend's compiling a list called "100 ways to know you study too much when" and the first entry is "you compile a list of ways to know you study too much."

[TinuvielChild]

* Gollum really does live in your basement.
* You take notes in Tengwar in school
* You read the name Peter Jackson in a Michael Crichton novel and do a double take.
* You spend hours reloading www.lordoftherings.net just so you can hear Viggo (or Orli, or Lijah, or whomever) say "Welcome to LordoftheRings.net" one more time
* You can walk on a rope across a river.
* You remember posting most of these on the original YKYLTTMW thread, but now have even more.
* You are obsessed with trying to move up a notch in the "Top 10 Posters" section of the Members thingy.


By the way, I'm guilty of all of these.

[TinuvielChild]

More....


* You have become addicted to computer Solitaire just from having nothing better to do while waiting for 90 seconds to pass between posts.
* You are an expert on climbing trees.
* You wish to take archery, horseback riding, and broadsword lessons.
* You refer to friends as "mellon", your boyfriend/girlfriend as "melethronin", and evil teachers as "yrch". (melethron-nin = my lover; yrch = plural of orc in Quenya)

edit: thank you, Elvedans; I was thinking of trees instead of friends.

I don't spend hours at it, but when ever I go there, I refresh it several times so I can here Sam or Legolas or Gandalf.

(Who are these Sean, Orlando, and Ian people? I only know people from Middle-earth. By the way, did you know the surviing members of the fellowship are here, in our time, and dressed in modern clothing? Wow. The hobbits are a lot taller than I expected.)

Mellyrn is the plural of mallorn isnt it? i dont think my friends would be too pleased if i started calling them trees.

~when you fail a test you say,"I know what is the matter with me. I need smoke. I haven't tasted it since the morning before the snow storm."
~when your parents ask you what you want for dinner you say Lembas bread
~when some one offers you to sleep in the topo bunk of the bunk-bed you say that we hobbits aren't very fond of heights

Actually i'm more of a Lothlorien elf. "I must sleep on the top bunk, it is too dangerous on the ground as orcs are close."

I am oh so guilty of 1, 4, 5, 6, 10, and variations of 18. Because I am about 6 inches shorter than my *friend* Caleb, he always teases me about my height, so now I've started to think of myself as a hobbit and him as Aragorn. Yes, this is quite ridiculous.:D

[Legolas_GreenLeaf]

You know you are "obsessed"(such a strong word!) if while playing "The Sims" PC game, you create a home with characters from Middle Earth.
Im guilty of this.:) Those are great Estel13! lol.

[TinuvielChild]

* You refer to a friend who has recently betrayed you as Saruman.
* You have decided to name your sons after the seven sons of Fëanor (or your seven cats, if you don't feel like giving birth to seven sons).
* Your walls are smothered with LotR pictures and drawings.
* People know to only give you LotR gifts.
* You want to learn how to draw only so that you can draw scenes from LotR.
* You want to live in a combination hobbit hole and Lórien talan.

1) LOL! :D :D :D
2) ALMOST guilty; also get Gregorian Chants. :)
3) Kinda similar; I want to write to do my best to emulate (but not copy of course, just create a work with a similar though undoutable lesser feel to it) Tolkien. My greatest goal is to come somewhere close to nearly appproaching being almost half as good as Tolkien. :D
4) o.O How would you do that... :confused:

Same here! So far I have the Baggins', the Bombadil's, and the Gamgee's. The Took's wil be my next creations. :D

[Legolas_GreenLeaf]

lol..I already have the Took family! ;) I don't have the brandybucks yet though.

[TinuvielChild]

Originally posted by Gwaimir Windgem

Simple. You create the hobbit hole, right next to a nice big tree. You create a staircase up the tree, connecting to the inside of the hobbit hole. The staircase comes out in the talan!


* You have actually thought about the logistics of combining hobbit and elf living styles. :D

[Nurvingiel]

... and then inside the hobbit hole is a tunnel that leads into a mine (Dwarf) and the tree outside is located in a huge, old forest (Ent).

[Estel13]

I can never decide if I want to live in Rivendell or Hobbiton or Gondor. As my Location could probably tell you.:rolleyes:
Thanx, Legolas_Greenleaf! When you're obsessed, you're obsessed.(Read, crazy.)

[eowyngirl14]

i can'e either estel13! I think it would be really fun to live in a little hole and eat all day and be a little 'plump' and be thought all the more attractive for it! But then againtwoudl be awfully fun to be and elf! *sighs* I do love tall trees, though I am afriad of hights...

Proud feet!

he he he.. sorry, couldn't resist!

[Indril Anarion]

Okay, I've got a new one... I was in Chemistry and I was mixing some Methil Red with HCL. I asked my lab partner, "Hand me the Methril Red please." I had to correct myself, luckily she wasn't a LOTR fan.:D

When studying for my Government test, I saw the state: New Hampshire, and I realized that if Frodo lived in the USA, he'd live in the state of New HampShire. Pretty funny, huh.

My mind is pretty wacked, I know...but I love LOTR!!!!!!

My mind is pretty wacked, I know...but I love LOTR!!!!!! I am deeply impressed. I mean, this stuff is just classic. Someone who's really obsessed with lotr would compile our posts into a list!

My friends were making fun of me for being short, and I said, "Short people are awesome! Okay, I'll give you four examples from Lord of the Rings!"

Another friend who likes LotR sais, "Merry and Pippin!"

And I added, "Frodo and Sam!"

Everyone else groaned and said stuff like, "Obsessed!" and "Oh no." and "Here we go again."

Then I went, "Boo ya hobbits!" It was funny.

Actually, if you go dig up the old 'obsession' thread - the YKYLTTMW thread - (stands for You Know You Like Tolkien Too Much When), Tanoliel compiled all of those posts into a list. I think she still has it, so if you want to pm her and ask, you can take a look at how obsessed people were last year around this time...

[#1AragornLover]

1. If you think that the Lake in your backyard is the Dead Marshes, and if you think your next door neighbor is Smeagol.....
:)

[TinuvielChild]

* You paint "ash nazg durbatuluk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatuluk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul" all around the top of your room in the Ring-script as a border.

* You have both the FotR and TTT movie scripts memorized.

* You are feeling oddly forgiving towards fangirls, probably because all your friends have become obsessed with either Orli, Elijah, or Viggo.

* After seeing FotR and TTT back to back, you feel as though 2/3 of your being has been fulfilled.

[Gwaimir Windgem]

You have the Lord of the Rings BOOK memorized. :eek:

[cassiopeia]

Plus the appendices. :D

Bah! Many of my friends are a foot (or more) taller than me. A guy at work calls me "Hobbit". I think he's...six two? That's a guestimate.

[support_your_local_elf]

Whenever you see something that's spelling is close to something in LotR, you have to blink a couple times to see what it really is ( I'm very guilty of that one. Anyone else have the same problem?) and is anyone says a phrase from the LotR books you start quoting from the same paragraph while they slowly edge away from you...

[Elvedans]

Have you ever noticed that there is a place in New Zealand called Dunadan? I have to keep correcting myself when i say Dunedain instead!

Don't worry. When I was seeing TT for the 7th time, I noticed a young, I mean young couple two rows in front trying to re-enact the Aragorn/Arwen scenes. I searched desperately for something to throw at them during the film. I am not seeing the TT for a while now. Grrr.

:: Pulls out invisble bow and shoots invisible arrow at wall ::

There is another, I shoot invisible arrows at humans.

I also quote LOTR while walking through forests...

a) "Get off the road!" on a trail
b) "The Bonfire Glade!" in a clearing
c) "Nazgûl!" when a plane passes
d) "Fool of a Took!" when my friend gets us lost
e) "The road goes ever on and on..." when bored

You can quote all the poems from the books, sing "The Road Goes Ever On and On", and have made up a tune to the Bath Song.

[Sminty_Smeagol]

You name your fish after LOTR characters.

You are plowing through the Histories of Middle Earth.

You saw TTT 6 times by feb 7

You are going to a midnight showing of ROTK

You plan on naming any future children after lotr characters

You are going to get a lotr tattoo on your upcoming birthday (well, hopefully!)

these are some of the things I've done or whatever. I'm not all that obsessed, so sue me.

[TinuvielChild]

You want a LotR tattoo, but you won't get one because you can't decide what to get. Plus your parents won't let you. :rolleyes:

You're trying to get tickets to the premiere of RotK in NYC, and succeeding...(hopefully)
