You know you're obsessed when:

In programming you name all your variables Legolas_rules or Denathor_is_a_loony, the list goes on.

You ride up and down the garden on a bike with a home-made bow pretending to shoot things

you own a home-made bow

You look at a list like this and keep going "yes... yes... guilty... oh good, I'm not wierd... guilty"

When your obsession is scaring other LotR fanatics. (guilty)

you leave Barrowdowns on your computer waiting for someone to reply to one of your posts (guilty)

You use a LOTR nickname for everything (guilty)

You aren't allowed to mention LOTR. the Punishment is many eyes rolling.

You can go from the begining of middle earth and give the history all the way to the third age and beyond.

For my photo final i think the theme will be...... LOTR!!!!! but that is just me. Now for the hard part what will i photograph?

You shoot people with the little bow from your Legolas action figure.

You call your LOTR fanatic friend and leave messages in Sindarlian on her answering machine.

when you write to your LotR fanatic cousin (who you converted from Harry Potter) you converse in Tengwar

you get mad at the photo you took of your legolas action figure case the face is all washed out, and you hate to dodge and burn anything.


You go to your frend's prom, although you are no longer in high shcool, and wear the most elflike thing you can. All this and considering all the lace and such that you have is black;black with spiderwebs type lace. OOOOOOO I can help out the coming of Shelob in the TT movie!!!!! Coolness, he thinks i am going goth but little does he know.


You become the doller a yard queen at wal-mart.

when the song "to grandmothers house we go" takes on a whole new meaning

when you post about 10 things a day just beacuse you are at shcool and you can do it.

your cs 150 instructor wonders when, in exel, you make a table on how fast the population of middle earth grows, along with a graph.

your excuse for being late to you cs 150 class is i ran into a group o marroding yrchs, I am sarry.

Here's what my mom said:

~You know you're obsessed when you grow a long white beard & carry a cane.
~You know you're obsessed what you get a perm just to look like a hobbit.
~You know you're obsessed when you legally change your name to one of those belonging to a fellowship member.
~You know you're obsessed when you go in search of the Ring yourself
~And (my favorite) You know you're obsessed when you can't shut up about LotR

I didn't do that, but I grew my hair out and got an Èowyn-perm.

~Instead of doing classwork, you are working on your latest RPG post.

[ April 13, 2003: Message edited by: Eressië Ailin ]

you work on a note for your friends friend and when she get it,yur freind,Tim reports, she throws it in the trash. You respond, " But that was real ink on nice papaer, didn't she know that?" Then you just get mad because of all the tranlsating wrk and the ink she wasted.

You decide that instead of the comming of shelob, you would rather go to prom as Galadriel, so you go buy the material.

~ you actually try to bake Lembas [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
~ you walk around the house in your Hobbit costume, even though it's not Halloween yet
~ after the movie just came out on video/DVD and the store plays FotR on TV, you stop walking and watch
~when you sing the Goldfish song ("I like the fishes 'cause they're so delicious!") in a Gollum voice

I know they sell it at Barnes and Noble and Borders book store (selling risk at book stores, go figure)
Uh, what make you really obsessed with LOTR is when you wear the one ring while playing risk, and in the process freek out all your friends [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Yup! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Guilty of some. I all of these except- I don't wear a cloak to school, cause I don't have one, but I think it's cool,. and if I had one, I'd wear it, I don't think of "pointy-ear-chick" as a compliment, and if I had an audio video project, that's what I would have done, but I don't [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

At the school dance, someone Asks what you're doing. You say, 'The wave for Boromir the disco king!'

Ok that was lame...

lol, I thought that was funny Lily Bombadil. I would do that. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

1-you yell "crabbian from dunlan!" whenever you see a crow

Thanks, Goldberry. Oooh! Another school dance one-

YOU KNOW YOU'RE OBSESSED WITH LOTR WHEN....

~At a dance you go up to some cute guy/girl and start doing Frodo's funky little chicken dance.

Ha, ha! These are good!

OK, here is mine:

You know you’re obsessed when you dress up as an elf and pose in front of the mirror

You know you’re obsessed when you dress up as an elf AND pull your ears up to make them look pointy!

You know you’re obsessed when the door is jammed and you shout at the top of your lungs: Annon Edhellen edro hi ammen!

You know you’re obsessed when you look into a cave and expect to see Shelob run out from it.

You know you’re obsessed when you build a tree house in the tree outside and hang little twinkly things up in it and name it Caras Galadron.

You know you’re obsessed when someone asks: “How are you today?” and you shout:
“Terrible as the Dawn, treacherous as the Sea, stronger than the foundations of the Earth!”

You know you’re obsessed when your teacher asks you to count to ten (not that your teacher will ever do that!)  and you go: er, atta, nerte, kinte, lempe, euque, otso, tolto, nerde, kainen. 

When you get an invitation to apply for summer courses at Oxford in England, and get get seriously depressed because you cannot go be where Tolkien was because of a trip to Russia (grrr...maybe next year).

when you influence inncent children to read The Hobbit

-When you watch FOTR you *Do the wave for Boromir the Disco King* everytime he is on the screen.

-Everytime you see Boromir's picture, name, hear someone talk about him, or even when you think about him you *Do the wave for Boromir the Disco King*. No mater where you are: school, store, theater, bathroom, ect... and you are always nice enough to include to people around you. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

-You think it's cool when your allergies act up and your eyes get red and puffy, because you put Visine in one eye and not the other. Then you go around asking random people if your red eye looks like that of Sauron.

*dies*

You know you're obsessed when-

~You practice swordplay with a hair brush. **guilty** [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
~You tell yourself that if you were Frodo's girlfriend, he wouldn't be a little weirdo.
~You print out Sindarin & Quenya dictionaries the pout because they're far to incomplete.
~When you go on vacation to North Carolina, you address it as a trip to Middle-earth. **guilty** [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
~You refer to Texas as Mordor. **guilty** [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Oh! 1 more:

~When you think you're being watched, you say, "It's Gollum."
~You refer to your grandfather as 'Gandalf'.
Or, if he's mean, 'Saruman'.

You know you're obssessed

When you stay up all night, while your hands grow numb, reading all the posts you missed when you gave up BD for Lent.

Which was a very big sacrifice.

Done that before! Hee hee hee!

I am now certain that you people must be stalking me. It is impossible that you should know so much about me otherwise...

Oh! Here's one - you convince your friend that she looks like Arwen, and do her hair like Arwen's in the Flight to the Ford. Then you get up on to your whitish horse, upon which you have just spent an hour cleaning and brushing, and then finally get her against a suitable background - and take a photo.

Of course I forced her into the clothes closest to what Arwen wore.

Ah me.

You know you're obsessed when you begin a fan fic about the LotR characters in school in which Gimli wears his dad's "ice" to school.

your step father thinks your sick

you listen to Led Zeplin just because of ," in the deepest deapths of Mordor I meat a girl so fair...."

the libraire staff at school is getting used to you tking up the computers.

they commnt on how you seem to like that stuff

you think of past obessions and wonder why. when an aquointance askes what you may think of this one you say, " at least this one is wholsom." but you don't mention that you have been obsessed with LOTR on and off for about seven or eight years.

your freind thinks that dark elves are evil and you correst him by telling him the entire history of Middle Earth.

I've done that before. Frequently. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

*gasp* How could you?!?! 'Cuz I live... DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS!!!!!!! Sorry... but you gotta love those Texans (and me!).

~ ...when you make a 'Save the Ents!!!' t-shirt. And when you wear it, people end up wanting to buy it.

Thank you Rilwen!
