Do you have Tolkienitis? A test!
 

Try this:

Sit down and write the five most desirable characteristics you would like in your ideal man/woman (depending on your preferences)

If your list contains any of the following:
- An interest in Tolkein
- Ability to speak any Tolkien language
- Has seen FOTR at least ten times
- A member of the Barrow Downs
- Will call you by your elf/hobbit/orc name

[img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] Then RELAX! You are not obsessed - you merely have a highly developed ear for the finer things in life and are a dedicated fan. CONGRATULATIONS! You still have your grip on reality!


However, if your list contains ANY of these:

- Being Legolas/Frodo/Aragorn/Galadriel/Eowyn/Arwen
- Having pointy ears/big hairy feet and no shoes/being immortal/a wizard/a dwarf
- Must have killed a balrog or dragon at some point.
- Must be king or queen of both Gondor and Arnor
- Must give up their immortal life to be with you

[img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] WELL! I would say again CONGRATULATIONS! You are completely obsessed to the point that you cannot distinguish your life from LOTR! This is an achievement beyond price. I wish you good luck in finding your elf-friend in the wilds of 2002. You have been diagnosed with rampant Tolkienitis.

Compassionate
Sensitive(not over sensitive)
Intelligent(But not brainy)
A good sence of Humor(but not overly done)
Serious, when the time calls for it,

*Loves acting
*Reminds me of Samwise [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
*Is a Tolkeinite
*Loves me for who I am inside
(I know that sounds mushy)

Here's the fancifull list.
*As stubborn as Samwise
*As commical as Pippin
*As charming as Legolas
*As innocent as Frodo
*As kingly as Aragorn
(now if i ever met anyone like that it would be a miricle)

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

ok... i had:
- must be interested in fantasy- tolkien included!!!!!
- must love lotr- seen movie 10 times inc. (i actually have!!)
-preferably be a lotr character/or an actor from the movie! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
- must be gorgeous- elf features preferred!
- must have magical/warrior talents.

then i re-read other replies and saw rose cottons, so i decided to do 1 real, and 1 ideal [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

real:
- gorgeous
- love fantasy/tolkien/writing
- preferably an actor (from the movie!) [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
- love beautiful/peaceful landscapes, etc.
- um.......

ideal:
- be an elf/ super warrior
- have magical/ warrior talents
- own a kingdom/be famous (eg. fellowship)
- be gorgeous
- be super perfect! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] (and make me the envy of all females!)

Hm. . .

• handsome (can't go wrong there)
• intelligent (duh)
• loves animals AT LEAST 2/3 as much as I do
• loves all things Tolkien (you knew that was coming, didn't you)
• is willing to let me name the kids (I prefer names that are not used that much and/or are names of LotR cast/characters)

Okay! Am I obsessed?

-pretty much MUST like Tolkien/LotR related things. Well ATLEAST know who he is!

-not as important, but he's gotta like good music. Like heavy metal, hard rock, or just rock. (liking Nickelback is a good plus! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )

That's about it I guess. And if we're saying signs, I'm a Libra [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Well, I am less obseessed then I thought, nothing really came into my mind about tolkien except for a picture in my mind of him looking like Elijah. Oh well.

-intelligent
-kind
-have a tremendous love of reading
-interested in music, art, something like that...
-completely open-minded to my weirdness and be slightly odd themselves [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

New additions! I would also like:

• Doesn't mind when I'm drooling over Legolas/Orli (yeah, like THAT'S ever gonna happen)
• Will pay for cable TV
• Makes a good, solid amount of HONEST money, since I want to be a zoologist and they don't get paid much to start out with
