You know you're obsessed if you...

-Put the pictures from your one-a-day picture LotR calendar in a specialized box with the Elvish writing on the Ring that you wrote yourself. (That took a while...)
-Memorized the whole "'Come not between the Nazgul and his prey, or he will not slay thee in thy turn. He will bear thee away to the Houses of Lamentation, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shriveled mind be left naked to Lidless Eye.' A sword rang as is was drawn." thing. Yes, that was from memory.
-Did a presentation on the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.
-Are writing down in a notebook everything there possibly is about hobbits, etc.

Guilty of all charges.

You know if you're obsessed if...

-You wonder if you can have 'Tolkien' as your liscence plate when you get a car
-When your friend asks if you'll stop being obsessed about since there isn't going to be any more movies, you look at her in horror and feel betrayed.
-If you're library doesn't have at least one copy of LotR, you think of it as incomplete and wonder why people even go there.
-Whenever you see a gold ring, you have a strong urge to call it 'your precious'.
-When you're meeting someone, after a bit of introductions you ask if they like LotR.
-You wonder why you're computer says many words from Tolkien books are misspelled.

Guilty.

Guilty, too.
Wow, I'm not even that obsessed with it any more, and I fit every one of those. And if you're at a library, I'm the one who is complaining about it aloud, even though no one who cares can hear me.
That second one applies to much more than just LotR, unfortuneately. People are already getting bored with Star Wars, et. al.

Ones I'm not guilty of(By the way, most of my ideas I'm didn't do):

1-You called your cat presous becouse of (You thought) Gollum-like behavior

2-You've used hair growth formula on your feet, becouse you think you're a hobbit and nobody beleaves you

3-The Hobbit gives you nightmares as you think this stuff's real ( )

4-Your favorite gas is Argon as it sounds like aragorn (my favorite gas is oxigen)

5-Your favorite food is "pop-tarts" with the filling removed

6-You try backfliping onto a horse... as a result you end up in the hospile alot

7-After your friend who tried backfliping onto a horse wakes up you tell him it's october 12th... in july!

8-You are constructing a balista to use Vs. dragons (as you think one's going to attack if you get to rich)

9-At your wedding after puting on the ring you walk out of the church thinking no one sees you

10-After getting home you toss the ring in the fire and scorch your hand takeing it out ( )

You're rereading LotR for the... 3rd time, and enjoying every moment.

Guilty of all, including me9996's.

You know you're obsessed if:
- when a teacher asks for an example of a personality disorder you say 'gollum'
- when meeting someone you say suilad instead of hello
- when meeting someone you ask them if they like lotr before asking their name
- when asked for favourite food you say lembas
- when someone holds up a picture of a gnome/goblin and says it's an elf you get very VERY angry
- you call whales orcs instead of orcas
- if you think the goblins in hp are orcs and shouldn't be trusted
- if you think of Norbert or the gringotts dragons from hp as smaug
- you think token and habit are pronounced tolkien and hobbit
- you have a sign on your door saying speak, friend, and enter
- you accidentally wrote some of your schoolwork in elvish
- you wrote class orc instead of classwork in your school book
- you manage to fit LOTR into every piece of schoolwork
- you always put your homecountry as somewhere in Middle Earth or Valinor
- you are so obsessed your aquanintaces think you're weird
- you are so obsessed your friends think you're weird
- you are so obsessed your FAMILY thinks your weird
- you get very VERY angry when people think that elves are like house-elves or the "imaginary" ones that work in the North Pole
- you quote at least one phrase from LotR a day

Guilty of all...

2-Now you're trying to make dragons useing the same method...
3-You always captlese the word "eye".
4-You never refer to Souron by his right name.
5-You think Souron is still out there and the ring being distroyed was just a ilution.

Visable signs you are obsessed with LOTR:

1-Your room (if not your whole house) is covered in LOTR decorations
2-Your pet is named after a LOTR caricter, as you think it looks it.
3-You have surgicly altered pointy ears
4-You have hairy feet (from hair growth formula)


A few other ways to tell if you a LOTR obsessed:

1-You think cockroches look like moria orcs (rather than the other way 'round)
2-You think you are(obsessed).

You don't want to get married, not out of fear of commitment but out of fear that you will vanish when the ring is placed on your finger.

Well, your life does disappear even if you don't.

You read part of The Siege of Gondor and The Battle of the Pelennor Fields aloud to your parakeet. And your parakeet enjoys it.
