Yes darling ARAGON court- no r! Therefore its probably named after the first wife of Henry VIII, Catherine of Aragon! The number of times I have written Aragorn in her name in history class though!

I can tell I'm obsessed with LOTR when my now finished fan fic sits there staring at me and I decide to add "just one more scene!" Mx

**Nurvingiel** · 03-21-2003, 03:46 PM

That's probably named after Catherine of Aragon, Spanish princess, and first wife of Henry VIII.

I went to London, and I went to Hampton Courst, Henry VIII famous palace. When I saw "Catherine of Aragon" I was subtley thinking LotR. And when I just typed her name, I accidentally wrote "Aragorn".

Obsessed? I think we are.

Elvedans · 03-21-2003, 04:37 PM

Oh stuff Catherine of Aragon! I bet the people who made the street sign just couldn't spell and that it is really named after Aragorn.

You think that "May it Be" would make such an excellent lullaby.

You can find 3-5 degrees of separation between you and any member of the LotR cast. (guilty!)

TinuvielChild · 03-24-2003, 02:04 AM

You print out the ENTIRE Ardalambion Quenya course and carry it with you at all times, so that if you should happen to have 2 spare minutes of free time, you can devote it to learning Quenya.

At least two of your email addresses includes a name/element from Tolkien's work, and at least one of your passwords.

Cleaning up after a dinner party you say:
Chip the glasses and crack the plates!
Blunt the knives and bend the forks! , etc.

I know I've posted here already (20 obsessive behaviors) but I've got more.

I am guilty of these. My alias' include elvenprincess; ladyoftherings; Idril Anarion (my name in Elvish); and I have passwords like Frodo, legolas, and elvenbow

I'm constantly quoting the movies and I think my sister has permantly labeled me "LOTR Obbsessed"
I'm always mixing up names at school: Mythil Violet becomes Mythrill Violet; Barkdull Way becomes Barak Dull Way (sorry if misspelled); The element argon becomes Aragorn; ect...

Walk barefoot outside with an Elvish pose

Check out my first post...then you'll really think I'm wierd...lol...

I don't have woods where I'm from, but I pretend in my back yard...lol

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-24-2003, 10:16 PM

If you order a birthday cake for you and your twin brother, and have it say "Happy Birthday Elladan and Elrohir" on it...and ask for a portrait of Tolkien.

Guilty.

cassiopeia · 03-25-2003, 02:02 AM

You go to the botanical gardens and see a plant called Primula, and tell somebody that that was the name of Frodo's mother.
(Guilty

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-25-2003, 02:18 AM

If I found myself in that position, I can't imagine not being guilty...

o.O

Linaewen · 03-27-2003, 02:15 AM

i) You start a fight with your really good friend because she said LotR sucks. This was referring to LotR in general, so because it included the books (i don't really care if anyone likes the movie or not), you felt you had to beat out that horrible belief

ii) Your Indonesian teacher takes off a percent on your assignment that has a ME theme because you wrote 'Kemeja Frodo terbuat dari mithril' (Frodo's shirt is made from mithril) and she thought you were trying to say an Indonesian word when you wrote mithril.

Linaewen · 03-28-2003, 07:03 AM

You start a fight with another friend because when you introduced her to the 'moot, and she said it was the 'entmoot thang' while chatting, you bite her head off and say it is 'JUST ENTMOOT!!'

Celebriel · 04-01-2003, 05:36 PM

Today I just noticed that the seat in front of me on the bus looks like Hobbiton. I even found a little Hobbit hole.

Legolas_GreenLeaf · 04-01-2003, 10:23 PM

ok, if you think a bus seat looks like a hobbit hole...then you are very obsessed. lol

**Nurvingiel** · 04-02-2003, 01:27 AM

In Economics class, you mistake the abbreviation for "Balance of Payments" (BoP) for a fellow Mooters name, Beard of Pants (also BoP)!

Hi BoP!

TinuvielChild · 04-02-2003, 01:49 AM

You see a picture in the local free newspaper and recognize it as looking very much like a fellow Mooter's avatar, and then proceed to spend about ten minutes thinking about all the cool things that Mooter has said/done in your time on the moot, and what that Mooter looks like, etc.

Linaewen · 04-02-2003, 06:58 AM

Today, you raved on to the class for ten minutes about how the movie adaptation of 'To Kill A Mockingbird' was so much better than the movie adaptation of TTT (mainly because the changes made sense). Then, when your friend had the nerve to ask you if the book LotR was good, you gave her the STARE (the are-you-kidding-me? stare) for such a long period of time she began to feel exceedingly uncomfortable.

Your friends begin to refer to you as 'My LotR buddy' after they realise you will continually talk about the book and lecture them about how bad the movie TTT is, how you say names (NOT Argon *shudder* - refer to 'Do your friends frustrate you? thread)

HOW BAD TTT IS??! What are you talking about? The movie was great!

Anyway...today someone started coughing and they kept making a 'gollum' noise. When I told him that, he looked at me like I was losing my mind. lol

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-02-2003, 07:15 PM

You heard her. How bad TTT is.

Go Lin!
