You look at your seven year old sisters yellow golashes and immedietly think she stole Tom's boots.

You think that Sherlock Holmes must be a very tall hobbit since he smokes so much pipe weed.

When your father explains that Sherlock Holmes smokes tobacco, and not pipe weed, you say 'what's tobacco, precious? no tobacco is not real no precious it's not. tricksy author makes us think it is, but we knows he lies!' *gollum* *gollum*

To persuade you to come do something, your friends say 'we can watch lord of the rings if you...'

You've begun to wonder why a man will give his fiancee an evil ring as a token of his love.

You nearly wrote 'tolkien of his love' rather that tokien.

-you find it very funny when you type in .ent instead of .net

Your teacher once told you that if your next homework had any Elvish on it at all she would write to your parents

You yell 'Noro lim' at your horse when you want him to gallop

You plan to go to the Pony clup christmas fancy dress parade as either a ringwraith or Eowyn

Youjust wrote 'palan' instead of 'plan'

You have salmon for lunch and you start going "fissssssh" to your brother.
You get very excited when you meet another Tolkien-obsessed person at summer camp who agrees with you about everything and is also a BDer (but I forgot to ask her what her name is here *vows to e-mail said friend*).
Even your LotR-obsessed brother tells you to get off the downs so he can go to the Lego website.
You have to work at the Brat Fest (brat as in bratwurst- it's a kind of sausage, for all you non-Wisconsinites) and it strikes you as something a hobbit would enjoy very much. By the way, where I live is home to the world's largest Brat Fest [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] (yes there is more than one)

School starts in 2 days, so that means I won't have as much time for the Downs [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] .

YAY! *high five* [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

~ You write "Frodo Lives!" (almost)everywhere.

~ You plan on using your LotR student planner for school instead of the regular one.

~ You yell "Noro lim!" to you bike (I think it worked, too! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] ).

Heh heh heh... Brat Fest? That makes me smile... We don't have such things here on the east coast. We do have Strawberry Festivals, though...

-You plan to wear your Frodo t-shirt to school the first day to "make a good first impression" *Gotta be known as "the LotR freak!"*

-You get your mom to sing the hobbit drinking song with you in a parking lot [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

-You are now officially, according to your sister, "The LotR geek, The LotR dork, and The LotR nerd. *I'm hoping to get more soon!*

When you see the movie X-Men, you cry out "Nooo! They can't make Gandalf evil!

On the same note, when you see the tv show Mystery (which has the same guy who plays Merry in it- I've forgotten his name, I think it's Dominick something *scolds self for forgetting*) you forget that his name on the show is Jeffry and that his girlfriend's name is Janet and always call them Merry and Estella instead. Wow, that was a long sentence! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Dominic Monaghan

(this has probably been mentioned before, but i don't have that much time left 2 go online, so i can't read the whole thread)

you know you're obsessed when you connect every song you hear to lotr in some way.

*and I'd give up forever to touch you.....* [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hey Forest Walker, there is a thread about how the Beatles' songs connect to LotR- check it out here. If anyone's interested, please visit this thread, because noone but me has posted on it for a while and I want to save it!!!

The Flight to the Ford.

From LotR - the "Brick Tales" version.

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

You should see my lego fellowship...

You know you're obsessed wit LOTR when you ask your wife/husband if you can have permission to inscribe the words from the one ring on your wedding ring. (or worse if you don't ask at all...)

Turambar, that's freakin' awesome! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Abedithon le,

~*~Aranel~*~

Yeah, very cool Turambar! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

You know you're obsessed with LotR when you are already planning your movie marathon party for once RotK extended edition comes out on DVD.

Oh yes, also: When you tell your friends that you are saving up money to spend about $100 dollars on a necklace, but don't specify what type, and they all just gape at you. And then one of them says, "Oh, it must be something from LotR." And you just grin sheepishly... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] (It's Arwen's pendant, by the way.)

They make Lotr Lego's? I've never seen them [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

When you go to a mountain man rendezvous (Fort Bridger, in case anyone cares) and buy everything you can find (that I could afford)that looks even slightly elvish.(celtic knot earrings and a necklace)

You call the dirks that your friend's dad has "hobbit swords," because they have a little knife, and a little fork, for eating.

When you make yourself moccasins and get extremely excited when your friend's sister says that they look elvish.

Oh, I saw a VM lookalike there, it scared me for a second.

I got a megabunch of weird looks for something I did that wasn't really LotR related,(think PotC) including a Startled Blink, and many Stares. (YAY! My first Startled Blink!) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Can you tell that I love rendezvous? So much fun! (even if it keeps me from the 'downs for 4 days)

You don't get in trouble for that?

I always notice people's plain gold wedding bands and snicker. My dad has one. Once I took my mom's ring and held it up to the light bulb of our lamp-chandelier thing to see if writing would appear on the band. Needless to say, I was disappointed.

*high fives Rilwen* [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Congratulations, Amarantha! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Meela, did you just pull a burra? It can't be! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Heehee! Are those Ringwraiths really Darth Vaders? They look like it to me! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

That's a cool idea! But I don't think I'd get away with it. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

I was so excited when I found out that my school cafeteria carried a snack called "Elfin Crackers." My friends all looked at me funny when I said, "look, it's lembas!!" Unfortunately, the cookies tasted nothing like lembas, but I kept the bag and I still have it. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

No Elfearz1, they don't actually MAKE LoTR legos, but we "improvise". Not to mention that I make lots of my own lego swords and such.

Uh... I did?

oh ok one axe to rule them all. darn, that'd be pretty cool though. They should, I mean, they make star wars ones!

on the first day when they ask you if you have any nicknames I always tell them my elvish name. (I just started this year, my friends made a mutiny out of it [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] )

... when you recreate helms deep (the structure not the battle) out of toilet papaer rolls in your bathroom. hehe

Oh yes! and Meela has inspired me to be known for my fandom, so my char is...*drum roll*
Elrohir! He's just cool, don't you think?

.... when you get moe nervous announcing that then something actually in public [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Nice Turambar!
My sister is disturbed with my obsession and says that I need a 10 step program to get off the Barrow Downs. Never! She will have to drug me first. (mumbles about evil sister)

You love him too? Yes, he is cool [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] And don't even think about trying to usurp me, lady. I'm the crazy fangirl with the strange taste around here :P
*giggles* join in by all means [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] weird is good!

I've been planning that ever since I heard they were making extanded version. Unfgortunately my best friend who is also obsessed moved away last year, so we can't do it together.... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

I like Elrohir as well! (I like Elladan, too). And my character that I love who is oft-overlooked is...... Beregond! Ha! I'm joining the ranks of the "crazy fangirls with strange taste"! You don't mind if I join, do you? Oh, and I love Beleg, too. He's from the Silm, and hardly anyone talks about him, either. Poor neglected cool people. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

You did it again! ( [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] It's okay. We don't really mind. For the full explanation of pulling a burra, go to the bottom of this thread. Or better yet, read the whole thing! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

By this "we" I assume that you are one of the LOTR lego scene creators, One Axe?

And now for the only obssessive thing I can think of at the moment: I got the colors on my braces (I think all of the people who have braces will understand this, at least) as pale blue and gold- Luthien colors! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] (And I did it the first month I had braces and now I have it for the last month!)

Wow, Turambar! That's cool! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Hmmm... Can't say I've done that but at the fireworks on the 4th of July, I built Cirith Ungol, Orthanc, and Mount Doom out of rocks... Btw, I love Elrohir, too [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

*shudders* braces... I have them. *grumble* Congrats on your last month! I dunno when mine are coming off...Hopefully soon. Heh heh. That colors thing is a good idea...

Let's see...What obbsessive thing have I done lately... Ah, yes. The pictures on the front of my binders are LotR pictures...and no one's really surprised.

-When you have so many screen names on message boards that you often forget your real name

He he... I pull a burra *pulls a burra out of a hat, then laughs at her own pathetic humour*

And also yay to a fellow Beregond lover! *hugs and celebrates* welcome to the small, but highly enthusiastic, group!

I actually found that quite funny, Meela. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Thanks for the welcome! *hugs and celebrates back* I also like Imrahil. What is it with Numenoreans? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Why thank you, Amarantha! I have to get retainers after this, though. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] I hope you get your braces off soon! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] And for all of you who have braces and are wondering what obssessive colors you could use, here are a few suggestions:

For Numenor-lovers: black and silver
For evil people: scarlet and black (Harad colors!)
For hobbits: yellow and green (ooh... I don't know how good that would look [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] )
For Luthien fans: blue and gold
For Rohirrim: bright green and white
For Noldor and last alliance people: dark blue and silver, I think (those colors would go extremely well together)

I think I'll end the list there, but it should give a good general idea. anyone who can think of more, feel free to add to the list! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

No. I just told my teachers that was what I prefer to be called. No biggie. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

**When you talk your art teacher (and the school cop) into letting you bring your swords to school for the still-life painting you're working on.

I have more, but I have to get to class. (at school right now. gr)

Abedithon le,

~*~Aranel~*~

[img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] I'm gonna get braces in a few months or so [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

I'll probably get them turquise, though, that's sort of my "trademark" color

I like this obsesioned thing, I wanted I had found it earlier! (excuse for bad English) today, i was kicked out of my class because i couldn't stop speaking elvish and quoting LotR.. mmh, not that nice.

yay! *hugs and celebrates with everyong*

and also Meela I really like your version of eeny meeny miny moe, do you mind if I use it, or change it to fit Elrohir? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Imrahil as well? You have excellent and exactly the same as mine taste [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

... you don't like Denethor by any chance do you?

Thankyou *bows* and of course! It wasn't my idea to twist it in the first place, anyway. There was a thread somewhere. So feel free!

Good idea, Luthien_Tinuviel! Usually I get mine black, but now I'm thinking of doing one of the Middle-Earth colour-schemes that you thought of. I had never thought of that...a true Tolkien fan right down to the braces. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

EDIT: Yay, I'm a shade! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[ September 03, 2003: Message edited by: Goldberry ]

Congrats, Goldberry! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Abedithon le,

~*~Aranel~*~

Why thank you! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I've only ever gotten a chance to try Luthien colors, though, and silver and alternating dark and light blue besides that, because I spent literally months with chains on my braces, which my dentist only had in plain old boring gray. So that was kind of annoying.

Thanks for the compliment, Meela! I've never been too partial to Denethor, though, I'm sorry to say. Although your obssession with him has made me see him in a whole new light... and I may very well be on the way to liking him. This most excellent quiz even says that my personality is closest to that of Denethor. Every time. I've taken it probably about four times, I've changed my answer, and waited for months before taking it again. I've taken it at different times of day and when I'm in different moods, but every time I answer honestly and don't try to force it to give me a certain answer, I get Denethor. So I guess being like him is close to liking him. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Well, you don't have to get turquoise every time, because you can usually change the colors every month or so. So you can have turquoise one month and LOTR colors the next!
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

EDIT: On the quiz, I just discovered that if I change a particular answer I get Eowyn instead of Denethor. But after reading through both descriptions, I think the Denethor one fits me a lot better. The Eowyn one I think is actually my mom's personality type. So I'm sticking with the Denethor result. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I have to say, I am a major fan of Gildor. Though he is often forgotten, ummmm...Not by me! I do like the odd characters who are often forgotten, Smeagol, Gildor, etc.

BTW, I am Smeagol's first precious. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Ooo...I love personality quizzes. I'm... Legolas?! ...Why Legolas... That's odd. I've never gotten him in a personality quiz before. Ah well. There's a first time for everything...

-When you refuse to use a pen in school and bring your own quill and ink

-When you have so many LotR bookmarks in your "favorites" list that you have to make a second folder

I don't think I could do that Meela [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I love personality quizes too! I got Frodo. yay [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
