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?"

Mmm...Hobbit. Filet Bagend .

[Lotesse]

I got a real kick out of the "What news from the North, Riders of Rohan" one. LOL! That was cute. That's something I would do, just for laughs, on a merry-go-round!

[trolls' bane]

That is a great one!
You know you're obsessed when:
You are hiking with a walking stick and waiting to cross an intersection on a highway. The signal is about to change in your favor, and you bang the staff against the ground and say "You cannot pass," and then stroll across.

[me9996]

You know your famly is obsessed if:

1. Your dog is named Sam after the hobbit (we don't have a dog but it would likely be named Sam)

2. You're named after a caricter in LOTR.

3. Your last name has been changed to "Baggens".

4. Nothing but mushrooms for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (and for you british: tea)

5. You live underground.

[Elemmírë]

You start fangirling the planet Venus when you see it in the sky.

I swear, I can't stop staring.

[littleadanel]

And when your maths teacher takes the whole class out to watch Venus passing in front of the Sun since it's an occasion you shouldn't miss, you stare with a smile on your face, and in your very-deepest-most-secret thoughts you think "How amazing. Eärendil meets Arien".

[trolls' bane]

Why your math teacher?

[littleadanel]

Because she was the only teacher to realize that if we stay in the school building the whole day, we won't be able to see it. LOVED her for that.

Oh my goodness, ElemmÃ*rë, I am SOOOO guilty of that one!

How about - when your copies of LOTR are held together with duct tape!

When you not only know the quotes in the quote game, you know what part of the page they're on in your favorite copy ("ah, Eowyn's challenge - lower left!")

Guilty three ...

Guilty. Very very guilty. I have even been known to escape outside from unwanted situations for the sole purpose of seeing Venus. It`s the only "star" I can usually see in the sky here. There`s the moon and then there`s Venus. "Sasuga..."

I eat raw fish because I am in Japan (it`s actually really good, I think). I eat mushrooms just because they did in the books.

Also, count me in for the "You know, in the books, it was sooo much cooler, because--" one.

*When your pin number has some Tolkien-related significance. For example, 7 for the seven sons of Feanor.
*Every once in a while when you hear a new song you think "This would be good to listen to while reading LotR."
(guilty to both)

[trolls' bane]

Well, of course! You're obviously guilty if you posted them!

[me9996]

You know you're obsessed if you can do a Gollum voice so good it creeps out friends and at least one sibling.(I creep out my little sister with it)

Guilty... Pretty useful, too, IMO. There are a couple of numbers and names I use for codes or passwords - it has happened that I forgot what my password was, but I said to myself 'no problem, it can be either this or that, as usual' and I got it right for the first try

Yeah. Guilty, too. That thing in the movies made me doubt my memory. ("But.. they... didn't go THERE! DID THEY?") I really should dig out my notebook where I wrote my first impressions after watching TTT... mainly a shocked, mixed list of things I liked/didn't like.

ack. :/ absolutely have to agree, TB.

[Curubethion]

Listen to this: the other day, I was having trouble opening a 2 liter pop bottle. So...in typical LOTR obsession form, I say, "Mellon" as I try to open it.
But here's the best part-it actually worked!!!

[me9996]

My Little sister wanted to post this:

No she didn't, for one thing about half the people in my family are alrirgic to cats so we don't have one.

Second:She wouldn't, she likes cats too much.
