There is this one immensely evil girl in my school who is very anti-Tolkien. She's always bothering me about being Tolkien-obsessed. One day, she came up to me and said that LotR was a waste of a life [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]. I then proceded to tell her that Harry Potter, which she loves, was a waste of a life [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]. I have since written many poems about just how evil she is.

Also, I have the Verse of the Rings and A! Elbereth Gilthoniel written out on my binder and I get a lot of people asking me what they are. I tell them that they are poetry, and the people look at my binder again and tell me that they make no sense(ah, poor unenlightened souls!)

One more story. One day in Language Arts class the topic of LotR came up. I raised my hand and said that smart people like Tolkien. A bunch of people got very offended.I didn't mean to say that they were dumb, but now I see that they are, for not seeing all the beauty that Tolkien's works have to offer.
