[img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] lol have fun |
One Saturday I got soo board and it was raining. I ended up memerizing the lay of Luthien and a lot of The Pyre of Dethethor and The Steward and the King chapters 'cause I read them soo much. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Still remember most of it. The leaves were long, the grass was green, the hemlock umberles tall and fair, and in a glade a light was seen, Tinuviel was dancing there. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |
This sounds really weird, but sometimes if im bored and i cant go skateboarding i pick up a stick and act like im swordfighting and beat the crap out of a pillow lol im embarresed(spelling?) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

lol!!
when i was bored i memorized the fall of gil-galad, aragorns poem(by Bilibo), and the three rings for the elven kings under the sky poem |
Is there anyone who hasn't memorized the Ring poem? When ever I'm bored I either start memorizing LOTR poems/songs or start chanting them.
All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the darkness shall spring; Renewed shall be the blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king. That's really scary that I know that by heart. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Quote:

I recite Lotr poems, too. I know the Ring poem, Aragorn's poem that was written for him by Bilbo, the Lament for Boromir, The road goes ever on and on, and the poems that Galadriel sent as messages to Aragorn and Gimli by heart. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] And I wasn't even bored when I memorized them! I did it for fun! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I also recite poetry
The road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began now far ahead the road has gone and I must follow if I can Pursuing it with eager feet untill it joins some larger way where many paths and errands meet and wither then? I cannot say The road goes ever on and on out from the door where it began now far ahead the road has gone Let others follow who it can Let them a journey new begin but i at last with weary feet will head tward the lighted inn my evening rest and sleep to meet |

Once, whilst bored, I tried to recite FotR extended DVD in its entirety. I didn't get it all, but I got a fair share of it (up to the Council of Elrond). I think the funniest thing I ever did was during Christmas last year when we were wrapping presents. I was pulling wrapping paper from a roll when the entire load of paper came off and I was left holding an empty cardboard roll. Trying to think of something to save myself from the embarrassment that was slowly mounting as everyone stared at me, I lifted the stick above my head and shouted, "For Gondor! Hail the White City!" It didn't save me from embarrassment, but it made people laugh. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I am known in some parts now as the Warrior of Wrapping-Paper Rolls. I've also, from boredom, named my "night light" the phial of Elendil. It has a sensor that makes it turn on whenever it gets dark. Anyway, those are just some things I've done while bored. |
lol
hail warrior of wrapping paper rolls!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] |
Hmm, forgot that my PS2 memory card is named "Ring" and I call it my "precious" many times. It hardly ever leaves my side (which I'm sure isn't healthy, but, hey, I can't part with it!) and there's been times when I lose it that I go ballistic. I'm really pathetic, I know. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I memorized this much of frodos bree poem:

I got really bored in my Geography class once, so I memorised the Lay of Leithian from the Sil. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
He chanted a song of wizardry, of piercing, opening, of treachery, revealing, uncovering, betraying, then sudden Felagund there swaying sang in answer a song of staying... [ March 17, 2003: Message edited by: Nuinatariel ] |
I know most of the LotR poems/ songs etc. off by heart. And most of the book. I will sit there at the end of exams and use the spare paper to write out, say, the council of Elrond or something.
And I always sing the bath song when I ahve a bath. Sing hey for the bath at the close of day that washes the warey mud away a loon is he that will not sing O! Water Hot is a noble thing Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain and the brook that leaps from hill to plain But better than rain and rippling stream is Water Hot that smokes and steams Water cold we may pour at need down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed But better is beer if drink we lack and Water Hot poured down the back Sweet is the water that leaps on high in a fountain white beneath the sky But never did fountain sound so sweet as splashing Hot Water with my feet! See... I'm sad. I even made up my own version of the I sit song. you know I sit beside the fire and think... |
I once put music to the words of "I Sit Beside the Fire and Think." I think it turned out quite well actually.
But generally, when I daydream, I'ts me with a bunch of grenades and an AK-47 a tthe siege of Helm's Deep. And then I start wondering if the bullets would actually penetrate an ork's hide, but that's just me... |
When I'm lying in bed and I can't get to sleep, I try to recite FotR, I usually get up to about the Weathertop scene when my mum comes in and says "What ARE you doing? Go to sleep for goodness sake!"
|
I dunno if this applies, but I used the Tinuviel and tom bombadil poems for my humanities project once...And I memorized several musicals (hey! when you have no life and lotsa CDs you'd memorize them too!!),which has NOTHING to do with lord of the ringsbut oh well!
|
Sometimes I find myself reenacting(sp?) the battle between Eowyn and the Witchking.
WK- Hinderme? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me! Eowyn- HAHAHA But no living man am I! I tend to get weird looks from my mom...but she's learned to ignore me. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [ March 17, 2003: Message edited by: Talon Stormcrow ] |
That sounds like fun, Talon! Someday I'll memorize at least part of the Lay of Leithian.... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
|
Oh, don't even get me started..... But yeah, I reinact scenes from all the books, and I memorized the Ring Poem, and Galadriel's monologe, and just about every line of Pippin's, and most of the Sindarin lines, and, yeah, I have no life. Oh, and I've taken to wearing my sword, Sting, around everywhere, if that counts.....
|
When I can't get to sleep I lie in my bed and think of funny parts of TT and FotR. Last week I was thinking of the part in TT when Faramir says "What did they steal?" and Gollum looks at him and says "My Precious! AAAHHH!" I can't help it but I find that so funny. So I was lying in bed laughing my head off. I'm sure my mom was wondering what the hell was wrong with me.
And whenever I am bored I run Two Towers or Fellowship of the Ring in my head. Last week at Cadets I was running the Fellowship through my head while we were on the parade square. Mind you, we stood there for about an hour. |
When I get bored, I get into weird FOTR conversations with people. Last time we had a debate over whether the ancient Roman army could have beaten up the Uruk army in the Helm's Deep scene in TTT. THen we wondered what would have happened if Darth Vader joined Sauron, and Yoda joined the Fellowship. That is the extreme bordom phase. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I learn LotR poems all the time. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I thought I was the only one! I most know like a third of them by now. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Hey! i have words on my arm right now! only they aren't in elvish. i always draw on myself [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
-nevie |
Forgot to add, on two of my calenders and my home diary i have all the important dates of the war of the ring from the ROTK appendices. I also have most of the fellowships actors bdays in my phone! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
|
When I am seriously bored, which isn't often b/c I have such a busy life, I watch the fotr in my head; I have never gotten all the way through it yet though; some retard always walks up and disturbs me. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
|
I have a bunch of 1970's calendars that I hang in my room that are illustrations of parts of the books, whether it's the Hobbit, the Silm or LOTR. I have 2 hanging right now because one has the days coinciding with today's (as in it has March 13 on the same day as when it was this year) and the other calendar has a better picture. Most of these calendars incorperate the dates of when things happened, but the dates are wrong. I have the scripts that I made from watching the movies too much that I bring with me most everywhere, and I have memorized a bit of the poems.
|
I parodize poems. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
All that is gold glitters, all those who wander are lost. The old that is strong withers, deep roots are touched by the frost. From the fire an ash shall be woken, A shadow from light shall spring. Lost shall be blade that was broken, The crownless shall never be king. I did memorize the poem in Faramir's and Boromir's dream. And the Fall of Gil-Galad, and the Road goes Ever On, and a few others. "I sit beside the fire and think" is my favorite, I think. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |
Hm...well when I cant sleep I imagine myself in ME meeting up with the Fellowship. And then beating up a bunch of Orcs. That's the life...
|
That's funny...I imagine meeting up with a bunch of orcs and beating up the fellowship...hmm...
|
Erm, well, I have this really dorky plastic "The One Ring" right. And I take it everywhere with me (it's on a chain like the one Frodo wears) and tell it everything while stroking it and calling it 'Preciousss'
|
"I sit beside the fire and think" is one of my favorites, too. I have my own melodies for practically all the LOTR songs. I don't just read them as poems, when it says that they were sung, I sing them. As I read the book, I try to remember my melody for a song every time I come across one, and then I sing it once out loud, then once in my head. It usually sounds a lot better in my head. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] I have also parodied several of the songs and poems so that they are about my school (I hate my school).
|
Not wierd at all, balrogman! I use a yardstick or a wrapping-paper roll. Usually I have a moving target, my brother likes sword fighting too. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] He has perfected the elf move. You know, the one during the Last Alliance scene when the orcs hit the line of elves and they twirl their swords all cool like. Yeah.
I've never thought of singing Tom's songs! Well, I'll have to try that! Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow! Blue his coat is and his boots are yellow! Close, I think. From memory... Tom Bombadil! Tom Bombadilooooo! YAY! |
I also love "I site bedise the fire and think" and know most of it.

I have an alter ego too! Her name is Elwing (no, NOT Agent Elrond's mom!) and she has a black pony named Dae and a hawk named Skeet.

LOL @balrogman. You rock! My friend recently bought a claymore off of Ebay and we went outside and chopped the crap outta a grapefruit. Then my friend came up with the idea of ordering a buncha them and running around town painting people in one of two colors and handing them a sword and telling them to kill the other color. Now that is MiddleEarthMayhem!
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] |
