A few ways to tell if you are obsessed with LOTR - Page 4

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-29-2003, 12:11 AM

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

**Nurvingiel** · 02-02-2003, 01:28 AM

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.

Hehe. I like the bycicle one.

Elrénia · 02-02-2003, 06:55 AM

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 · 02-02-2003, 06:52 PM

I know someone who's daughter is named Arwen.

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...)

-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)

-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!!

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.)

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 · 02-04-2003, 06:44 PM

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

Elvellyn · 02-04-2003, 10:37 PM

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** · 02-05-2003, 03:13 PM

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.)

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 · 02-05-2003, 06:21 PM

why do i fit some of these reasons? LOL

hobinator · 02-05-2003, 07:32 PM

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** · 02-05-2003, 08:42 PM

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

Fimbrethil · 02-05-2003, 09:39 PM

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)!
