1001 reasons...

[Tar-Alcarin]

1001 reasons you know you have read the Lord of the Rings and Silm too many times.

1) if you call you books "precious"

[ElenCala Isil]

Eh...aren't list threads generally frowned down upon? o.O

in any event...you would know you've read them too many times, when you compare the appearences of Merry in the book, to the film, and are convinced that in the movie, everyone abuses Merry. Thusly, you have started the S.A.M. (Save-A-Merry Foundation) to keep Merry a more canonical character. o.O

[Finwe]

3) When you scream "SPARKLIES!!!!!!!!" whenever you see shining, white jewels, proceed to claim them immediately, then if someone takes them from you, take an Oath to chase after them forever, and start a war to get them back.

[Naz]

4) When the gold & silver trees for decoration constantly remind you of Laurelin & Telperion ("Look! It's Laurelin & Telperion! We have to keep them together!").

[Elennar Starfire]

Thusly, you have started the S.A.M. (Save-A-Merry Foundation) to keep Merry a more canonical character. o.O

But what about Pippin? He's always getting whacked around. Mind if I start the Save-A-Pippin Foundation? smilies/wink.gif Prevent Pippin abuse!

[Lhunardawen]

You are right, Elennar Starfire. Three cheers for Merry and Pippin! smilies/biggrin.gif

5) When you tend to use some of the characters' lines in daily conversation.

For example: When somebody insults you, you say "Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth!", or something, and from then on call him Wormtongue.

Ooh, that's gotta hurt. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Olorin_TLA]

Doesn't everyone else do that..? smilies/eek.gif

Love the Oath and S.A.M ones! smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

Let's see...to help you/someone you know overcome arachnophobia, next time you see one of the beasties, shine a torch at it and shout Elvish at it. Shoring some of its feet off and inflicitng grevious bodily harm also helps.

[Naz]

6) When you grab a perfume bottle that's clear, & the perfume's clear, & shout "Aiya Earendil Elenion Ancalima!" & wonder why it won't work.

7) When you squeak everytime something Sil is mentioned in LotR. ("Gildor is of the House of Finrod?! EEEE~~!!")

8) When Aragorn rides up to the Black Gate in RotK, you're going "FingolfinFingolfinFingolfin" in your head & when you tell people, they don't think it's funny.

9) When you do #8 to when Eowyn is dodging the Witch King's mace in RotK.

10) When you & your parody Fingolfin & Morgoth's fight.. turns out he needed more milk. (Geez, everything's about Fingolfin, & it isn't even half funny!> <;; )

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Thusly, you have started the S.A.M. (Save-A-Merry Foundation) to keep Merry a more canonical character. o.O

Yes, well what about all the Sam abuse (mostly by Gollum)? Sam needs his own foundation, too!

When you tend to use some of the characters' lines in daily conversation.


All the time! smilies/biggrin.gif

6) When you grab a perfume bottle that's clear, & the perfume's clear, & shout "Aiya Earendil Elenion Ancalima!" & wonder why it won't work.

You did that too? smilies/eek.gif

11) When you use your little reading light that you got for Christmas, try above experiment (while slyly turning on the light), and it does work!

12) When you open your mouth while eating gummy worms, and say "Look! I'm Wormtongue!" No one even thought it was funny. smilies/frown.gif

[Finwe]

12) When you open your mouth while eating gummy worms, and say "Look! I'm Wormtongue!" No one even thought it was funny.



*dies laughing*

[Elennar Starfire]

*giggles insanely*

Yes, well what about all the Sam abuse (mostly by Gollum)? Sam needs his own foundation, too!

We need a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Hobbits or something. They all get abused.

13) When you see 'UT' you think 'Unfinished Tales' rather than 'Utah' even though that is where you live.

Sorry, Sam's personal feelings got in the way of the anacronym...

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

I'll join The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Hobbits! Can I be Co-chair?

14) When you not only have word hallucinations, but they are entirely unrelated to the real word (especially common right after reading one of the books). For example: seeing a word that has only two or three letters in common with a Tolkien word, such as "glad", and thinking it says "Gil-galad" (bad example, but you get the point).

15) You can tell anyone about any part of any of the books at the drop of a hat, and get most or all of it right, down to what everyone says and what order they say it in.

[Olorin_TLA]

Psychological Depth in The LotR Movies: An Essay.

Faramir has obvious anger-issues. Seeing the way his father treated him, especially compared to his older brother, it is obvious that his father's rejection has instilled a lot of repressed anger and an inferiority complex in him. This explains why he kidnaps the Hobbits, as he feels their physcical smallness makes up for his self-esteem's smallness, and then why he ALWAYS has to pummel Gollum, as Gollum's marked physical differences to everyone else present allows Faramir at long last to have a target to pick on which is more vulnerable than he.

Now Denethor is not only a dealer of domestic abuse, but a victim. Gandalf's constant beating result in thoguhts of suicide...which would have been averted, had not Gandalf got Shadowfax to kill him after Denethor realises that death is not the answer.

Gandalf is Morgoth returned.

1.) When you wake your little brother up by hissing "Fissshhhh..." in his ear (and subsequently get walloped in the face for it)
2.) When the same little brother makes you promise not to do that anymore, you hiss "we swears on the preciousss" and limp off.
3.) When you get out of bed in the morning by shouting "Forth Eorlingas!" (and then trip over your books and crash to the floor in a most un-rohirrim like manner)
4.) when you go up to a random person who's smoking and tell them that their love of the halfling's weed will slow their minds.
5.) when you ask for a bottle of the old vineyard of 1412 at a fancy restaurant. even though i'm not exactly drinking age. just for the heck of it.

[Iaurhirwen]

Let's see:

1) You're doing a paper for an honors class on Tolkien's world and "real world" mythology.

2) When talking to someone on AIM, ICQ, whatever, you start typing in Elvish at random moments for no reason at all.

3) Every time you see anything remotely connected with Tolkien you start hyperventalating and require a strong sedative

4) You're sitting there typing these out while staring at a giant picture of Legolas

5) In your Myth's and Legends class you are constantly pestering the insturctor as to when you will begin the chapter on Tolkien and if you could teach it.

6) All of your school notebooks have random Tolkien quotes plastered all over them.

I feel so at home with all the Hobbit activists! Sometimes I have to pummel even my LotR obsessed friends for disrespect to hobbits! I've wanted to form a society for ages, especially after I encountered Hobbit tossing in the chat room. grrr.

1. When you insist on using "Forth Eorlingas!" As your school team's fencing cheer untill somebody points out that you aren't cavalry, at which point you suggest riding the wrestlers. (please forgive the run-on)
2. You name all your foils after Tolkien characters.
3. Your halloween costume is obscure enough that you have to explain who you are people who have read the books who don't even recognise the name. (I was so dissapointed...)
4. When you write an ode to Lothlorien in Engilsh class and then can't tell if it's yours or if it's a poem by Tolkien that you didn't realise you had memorised. (So frustrating. I've looked for it in the books, but my friends are convinced enough that it's Tolkien's that I can't tell if I've got a wreched memory and it's in there somewhere or not)

~ Your idea of a fun celebration is drinking a couple of mugs of beer and dedicating a toast to J.R.R. Tolkien. (It is the Professor's birthday after all.)

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

-You decide to try writing a poem in ann-thennath. You can't figure out what to write about, so you pick a subject that's very dear to you- how Sam felt at the Grey Havens. It turned out pretty well!

-Maybe I'm alone in this, maybe I'm not. But I read so much that I dream about books. Not the characters and events- I dream about the books themselves. I read the books in my dream, and see the pages, and everything. A couple nights ago I did that with LOTR. How I knew it was LOTR, I'll never know, but I was concious of the fact that I was reading LOTR, even though it was probably very different than the real thing. One of the chapters was only a page long!

-Not exactly a book thing, but close enough: I've taken to wearing ribbons in my hair just about every day. A point to the first person who realizes where this comes from. Yes, I am a sad case. smilies/biggrin.gif

You give constant lectures on how LOTR is in fact six books, not three. Also when you give your friend an ovation when they finish the Silm. And when your friend's been reading FOTR for about a day and he's already posing as an expert, so you bite his head off.

[Dancing_Hobbit]

When taking notes in Geography class you accidentally write an LotR-related word instead of the word you meant to write, and don't notice until you reread the notes.

Thanks for the post, Nilpaurion! That was true, actually! And the guy I said that to did not quite understand me, but he knew it was LotR-related, so he invited me to watch the movie with him. I declined, needless to say.

-During a boring class, you try to list all the Elvish lines from the books and their translations.

-You call your Chemistry groupmates "a bunch of Denethors" because of their pyromania.

-You never tire of telling your not-so-much-knowledgeable-in-LotR friends about LotR things. In fact, it excites you to do so!

-Not really book-related, but in a random moment of boredom, you start humming disco/techno-y music and dancing around in honor of our very own Disco Monarch.

-You're to the absolutely hopeless point where your word hallucinations are absolutely absurd. I saw the word "preserves" and thought it said "potatoes". If that isn't sad, I don't know what is. And I do it almost daily.

In aforementioned class, you decide to see if The Shire is acceptable for project

Apparently it's not. After finding out it's not, you begin to call your teacher Slinker or Stinker behind her back.

-You have created your own life story as a Middle-Earth character and it fits quite perfectly into the stories.


Really? You too? My best Tolkien friend and I had a whole war in ME a couple summers ago. It was maybe a couple hundred years after the War of the Ring. This was after we discovered that we both had created our own elf-kingdoms. So much fun. smilies/biggrin.gif

Memory of Trees, that post really applies to me except the part about the song. I think I'm not a Hobbit type of person.

1) I work as a translater, even though I'm fourteen. I have to translate Korean children's books to English, and I find myself unconciously using words and verses in LOTR. Like "wroth, deed, fell, fey, loth"

2) My Korean friends stay well away from me becuase I constantly chant LOTR poetry in English.

3) When Korean bullies ripped my copy of LOTr, I went out of my senses and slapped the girl and called her Gorthaur the Cruel. The result: I was beaten black and blue and was locked in second-floor classroom, when I whispered 'Elbereth A Githoniel' and climbed down the ventilation pipes.

4) My poodle is named Shadowfax.

5) When you go into a fit of Murderous rage whenever people say things like "I hate LOTR or Harry potter is better then LOTr".

- When you tell your date to stop kissing you in the middle of Return of the King so that you can watch Pippin in his armor.

*blushes*

What made it worse was that he wanted to watch the scene too, so we stopped making out for about two minutes, then started up again.

Oh my I am guilty of so many of these things that were listed!

I say goodnight to the characters that are on the poster. e.g goodnight Aragorn son of Arathorn, Goodnight Eowyn daughter of Eomund.

I sometimes feel like I am walking LOTR encyclopedia.

when you leave notes behind saying "Frodo lives!"

My math notebook is covered with LOTR quotes and i am planning to do the same thing to the math notebook i will get next year!

You compare fireworks (Those screechers or whatever they are called) To the nazgul and insist that your dad has to buy nine of them for next year!

-You frown upon those "Lucky Rabbit Foot" things, because they make you think of Hobbit feet.

-You have a perfectly accurate miniature of Minas Tirith in your bedroom.

-You buy a 9 pet bats and 9 Nazgul figurines which you strap to their backs. Then you build a lego Minas Morgul and let them roost on it.

-You try to wake up trees and have never used wood for anything, fearing murderous tree-herders.

-You have a pet warg...and you've bought it a mate!

-You don't own a can of mace, but you do own an intricate replica of Grond, Hammer of the Underworld.

-You've actually sung Gollum Fish Song in a public place.
