Very very guilty. In fact i'm almost finished.


You develop characters that somehow fit in the hobbit and lotr.

I swear, I can't stop staring.

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..."

4.You eat mushrooms just because they did in the books.

5.This list makes you hungry.

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)

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

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)

[Elanor]

I just realized that I truly am obsessed. I ordered the extended edition DVD's. I surrendered to the merchandise!

[durinsbane2244]

i think i mentioned it once...i wrote a song about simbelmyne...all i can remember off the top of me head is "simbelmyne, simbelmyne, my father's grave, now cover mine, growing strong on those who die, simbelmyne"...i like that name...

I say, "THAT'S not in the book!!"

[me9996]

I tend to tell people what wasn't in the books and what they left out

[trolls' bane]

I complain the most about the Two Towers because they made Helms Deep last for like half of the movie, plus they changed the Rohirrim's refugees destination from wherever they were going to H's Deep, and I never fail to point either out.
I'm also in a rage because the channel, TNT, keeps advertising FotR as "The movie that started it all." Started it all, my neurosurgeon's nerves!

Drives my parent's and others crazy when I do that.


You argue with your father over wheither Aragorn fell off a cliff in the book

You argue with anybody over the book vs. movie.

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.

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]

That about sums it up.

Guilty--to both!!

Also...

• You already got a LotR calendar for Christmas, then when you're in the store looking at all the calendars that are 50% off after Christmas, you buy ANOTHER LotR calendar, just because your first one doesn't have your 2nd favorite character in it, and this one does.
• You watch all three movies in one day.
• You eat mushrooms to stick to the theme, even though you don't like mushrooms.
• You can come up with a LotR quote that applies to almost any situation imaginable.

5-You live in a tree.

6-You build simple treehouses everyware.
