These are all hilarious!

What do I do.. Well, I've newly discovered that there actually is at least one boy in my class who has read more of JRRT's books then I have.. Plus the fact that he actually has read them in english, while I just learn my favorite quotes.. Don't worry, I will read them in english as soon as I can find some time.. Anyway, that boy is driving me nuts about complaining about that he don't think Unfinished Tales should have been published. I think I drive him nuts by pointing out things that he has missed while reading the books. Hah. Serves him right!

I have another classmate who is more normal (meaning she has seen the movie and read LotR + The Hobbit)(I'm not that normal. I read the Hobbit and LotR before I even heard about the movie. and Silmarillion before I saw FotR. plus I've gotten Unfinished Tales and Book of Lost Tales. add the fact that I'm a member of this site. Nope, I sure aint normal.. hhmm.. depends on how you define normal, of course. ah, what the.. I'll stop this right now). She is more fun discussing with. Of course, the majority of the class has seen FotR, so they understand me when I quote something from it. Some days ago, I had my notepad with me and a girl said she wanted to have a paper from it. I didn't respond, so she said 'oh well, then I'll take it from you'.. I went something like: 'no, you can't! it's my own, my preciousssss...'. unfortunate enough, she didn't hear what I was saying, so I repeated the quote in swedish (since I live in Sweden. duh.), but she didn't get it. So I had to EXPLAIN what I had meant, so she went 'aah'.. and it really wasn't fun anymore..

It's hard to do many of these things, since many of the ways to irritate people of includes quoting the movie and I'm not sure if everybody I know are good enough at english to understand me and I HATE to explain what I meant when doing jokes like that. HHhhmmm... I think my brain lost me about five minutes ago, so if the end of this post seems weird, that's why.
