When you run up to every single twisted old tree, scream "Treebeard!" and throw your arms around it.

*You have a manditory doctors appointment in 15 minutes and the office is an hour away and guess where you are [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

"guilty...guilty...gonna try that...guilty...guilty...guilty...why are all you people spying on me?..." [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

*You have decided that "The Road Goes Ever On and On" is the only song to sing on horse back

*Movie night is now LOTR night

*puts goggles away*

Sorry I was just checking if yous started translating and proofreading yet. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

~you poke trees in the forest until they move.

~beckon a white horse to carry you to Rohan.

Helka, check your PM's!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

*You have decided that cutting your hair is a very bad idea because the elves have long hair and you want to be an elven maiden

*You have begun to walk toe to heel so as to appear more graceful

*You get so happy you almost faint when you are complemented on looking as an elven maiden

*Your LOTR obsessed friends refuse to let you talk about LOTR around them ever again

*You're convinced that you are the female reincarnation of Denethor(even though you don't belive in reincarnation)

*Every time you see someone propose on tv, you call out that the ring is not rightly theirs, and that it's your presciousssss

Okay, that - that is scary!!! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

I think you are obsessed even by the standards of a self-professed obsessed LOTR freak.

That kind of rhymes... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Your math instructor is named Golum and you can't contain yourself. but instead of blurting out what your thinking you write it all on your syllabus. Then you wonder why anyone would name their child that.. Then you realize he’s from southern Europe, and understand. Of course you could not understand him in class because of his heavy accent.

You shout "noro lim, Asfaloth, noro lim" when you're riding your bike up a tall hill (on my way to Rivendell and rehearsal for, of all things, The Hobbit!).

Speaking of the Hobbit, have I mentioned that the guy who adapted it should be shot? He made Bilbo kill Smaug, turned Elrond into a woman named Elfrida and Gandalf is and I quote "court wizard."

The directors get a leetle mad at me because I go absolutely ballistic at this one line Thorin says,
I'm actually cast as Gandalf, and I fix lines to make them more like the book, I made my own staff, on which I'm going to paint Elvish runes in silver as soon as the director's friend finishes staining it.

Oh, yes, and in my computer class, for our finals, we have to do an animated movie, and guess what mine's about? LotR of course. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

You know you're obsessed with LotR when, instead of signing "Have a great summer" in your friends' yearbooks, you write, "DO THE WAVE FOR BOROMIR THE DISCO KING!!!"

Quite guilty of this one, and there are now many extremely confused people wandering around my school... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Greetings, all!

[I'm quite new here so this'll be one of my first posts! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ]

Well here goes......

You know you're obsessed with LOTR when..
- You study and are actually becoming relatively good at Elvish (Sindarin *and* Quenya)

- You prefer saying "mae govannen" to "hi" and "namarie" to "bye"

- You think a compliment (on your dressing) is "you look very Elvish"

- You can really explain in detail to people about the histories of ME, LOTR characters and the Elvish language

- You start to infect others with your LOTR mania

- People remember you as the "Elf"

- You can write in more than one mode of Tengwar -- Quenya, Sindarin, Sindarin mode of Beleriand and English..

- You write your Elvish name on your textbooks in Tengwar

- When bored and falling asleep in class, you find scribbling in Tengwar helps keep you awake.

- You have a whole folder in your computer dedicated to Elvish and another dedicated to pics from the movies


I admit, I'm guilty of all of the above.

First thing: Welcome to the Downs, Elwen!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Second thing: And I am guilty of most of them. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Don't worry, you're among friends.

197 DAYS UNTIL ROTK IS IN THEATERS!!!

Everytime you see a spider, you tell others by shouting out "Beware! The spawn of Ungoliant is upon you!!!"

Actually... I didn't write do the wave for boromir the disco king in yearbooks (just at the bottom of all my tests and worksheets etc. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )
I did however sign "I nyëni ëa or úr! Sí man?!" [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

You have to do a powerpoint project on Trigonometry for your maths homework. The entire class is going to see this, and it may be posted on the net. You still sneak Gandalf and Saruman into there!

Ma Govanna, everyone!
I gave myself pointy ears with my sister's fake nail glue-she is now embarrassed of me. The hopelessly obsessed also:
*get a perm b/c of hobbits(done)
*write "Elves Rule!" in yearbooks(done)
*get weird urges to go outside and sing and dance under the stars
*get happy when people finally figure out that you are and Elf
*wear the LOTR outfit you made OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE!
*it is your heart's deepest wish be a loremaster and live in Riverdell (loremaster: almost, Rivendell, unfortunatly not)

How did you know?!?!?!?!?!

Well - how about when you find yourself philosophising and writing essays "for fun" about Lotr

Also I look at Lord of the Flies and think - well - my friends could tell you what comes to my mind

You definatly know your obsessed with LOTR when you have something to post on this topic

I didn't have to do a powerpoint for a math class (Thank the Valar!!!) but I did make a powerpoint explaining the differences between real elves and annoying things like the Keebler "Elves" (I call them elfs, so as to not confuse the two.)

-You save up £120 to pay for very overpriced rings from the movie in special presentation boxes then find out that the shop Forbidden Planet has run out of stock! You then proceed to throw crockery against the wall and have to give your parents all your savings to buy new plates (that last bit happened in my head so I didn't have to lose my cash)

-You think that all LotR fans should have a special country so that you will not have pesky time differences, be separated by miles and be stuck in a school that has an elf hating policy (need I go on?).

Helkahothion - my penfriend lives in Holland in a place called Den Dungen. Have you ever been to De Eftling (sorry can't remember spelling). She doesn't like LOTR though dammit!

*or you write "Hobbits Rule!" (that was my friend's sig for yearbooks this year. I got "Do the Wave!" [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
*waves hand enthusiastically in the air* Oo, oo, I do that!!!

~You're obsessed with LotR when you collect Yu-Gi-Oh!/Magic: the Gathering cards, and you have a specific pile for LotR-looking cards. (guilty; my Yugi-LotR cards get me interesting looks during Duels...,)

You know you're obsessed with LotR when:

-you carve "Frodo Lives!" into wet cement

-On the "Additional Comments" section on your survey you write "Fissh! Give us fissh! You keep nasty chips. Fissh!"

-At the beginning of Mississippi Burning (NEVER watch that movie EVER) you spaz because Brad Dourif is in it and you're like "OH MY GOSH WORMTONGUE!!! Mwehehehehe!"

ok maybe i don't watch the movie all thye time or calculate the Ml
But well, on almost all of my e-mails, to my friends, therteis a bit at the end about Z ,me, muttering something calling an exploded pen prreecciouuss(inside joke about the pen) and chanting somethin about killin filthy whiteses. my other claim to obsession is i watched the movie only once(!!!!!!) so far (TTT) and i know almost all of gollum's freaky lines to himself and near the end and stuff. that and i was so hyped iwanted to talk to my littler sister, 11, about changes to Faramir in movie and was very mad when told to shut-up. all the way home, 30 mins.
BUT I HAVE A CLAIM TO FAME PEOPLES!!!!

my best-friend married gollum, we made 2 entire stories about it and parts are incorporated into French assignments..... hahahahahaha!!!!!!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] too bad i don't know any legolas fans so i could freak 'em. oh while you can't get it all in life. [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

You watch the MTV movie awards, telling all your friends every detail of the bond between Frodo, Sam, and Gollum, up until the second they win for best team ^.^ yes, I did just do that...hehe

When you actually start drooling over Brad Dourif in sunglasses in Mississippi Burning. *whistle*

-You actually own "Elven boots" (and people notice!)
-When you write you name in runes on a friends chalkboard the friend can tell that they are runes. (Unfortunately he thought the were 'elvish' and I was writing in the runes mostly used by dwarves. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] )
-You no longer need a cheat sheet to translate runes. (Working on it)
-In your spare time you translate every name, place and word you can think of into runes.
-Your little sister won't let you wear the outfit you made outside of the house. [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]
Can I ask for a translation? Our yearbooks came yesterday. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
Next survey I get I'm going to try that. Or write real/fake spoilers eg. Gollum's little 'Precious' quotes. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] Or Sam in the chapter 'The Choices of Master Samwise'.
[img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
I need to read all the way through the thread, but so far...

this happened two minutes ago...

I was holding the cat. Salix said
"Precious! Precious! give me the precious! If you don't give me precious She will hurt you!"

Our cat is a girl, but it still freaked me out...i was thinking of giant spiders. Mmmmm...giant spiders...

oh, and salix, a scrap of green cloth doesn't count as you making a costume, and ALMOST ALL my friends were there. not all of them are LOTR obsessed. And we went to laser tag!

Anyway, now that i might be tall enough, me and a really short friend (coughsillabubcough) are going halloweening as elves. we are already looking for costumes, but they won't be ready nearly on time...i don't know how to use a sewing machine...

You know you are obsessed when you try to set yourself on fire, then remember you forgot your large, spherecle (how do you spell that?!) stone in the house...

i havn't really read what was above, but it's past 12:30 (here), i have to go to bed. but first to the mirror of galadriel (staring into a sink full of water until i'm sure i see something).

Or if you spaz because Brad Dourif is in Alien Resurrection (good movie, all should go watch it) and you scream "OH MY GOSH, he has eyebrows!!!" [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Love Elalia x

Are you lot stalking me? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The goat is on fire! Now what? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

When you see your father's golden wedding ring on you run frantically out of the house yelling, "EVIL! EVIL!"

I loved #4

*You can't wait to go on an all work mission trip so that you can get away from your family that won't let you talk about LOTR

*Your family doctor now responds to being called Elrond

*Everyone tells you that obsessed is not strong enough a word to describe your "relationship" with LOTR

*You've lost count of the elven dictionarys on your computer

As you clean out your horrably dirty car, you find LOTR books galor. Your Strider figurine's sword, your Legolas action figure white knife, and frodo's box.


You buy a all the cool Elvish dresses at the second hand store. Oh wait a second you buy all the Elvish dresses at the second hand store(I am a poor student)!

Your coworkers at your new job think that you are cool, little do they know....... "What is it, My Presssoussssss? Isss it nicesss, My Precousssssss....." And you happen to work in a federal building..... No Actually I listen to the TT soundtrack as I stand at my copier.
