I feel so at home with all the Hobbit activists! Sometimes I have to pummel even my LotR obsessed friends for disrespect to hobbits! I've wanted to form a society for ages, especially after I encountered Hobbit tossing in the chat room. grrr.

1. When you insist on using "Forth Eorlingas!" As your school team's fencing cheer untill somebody points out that you aren't cavalry, at which point you suggest riding the wrestlers. (please forgive the run-on)
2. You name all your foils after Tolkien characters.
3. Your halloween costume is obscure enough that you have to explain who you are people who have read the books who don't even recognise the name. (I was so dissapointed...)
4. When you write an ode to Lothlorien in Engilsh class and then can't tell if it's yours or if it's a poem by Tolkien that you didn't realise you had memorised. (So frustrating. I've looked for it in the books, but my friends are convinced enough that it's Tolkien's that I can't tell if I've got a wreched memory and it's in there somewhere or not)
