*While doing something completely Un-LOTR related (yes, surprisingly there ARE things in this world that have nothing to do with LOTR. Shocking, I know.) you start relating the Little Mermaid to LOTR. I was doing geology homework when my mind started wandering and I wondered that if -iel and -wen were both elven feminine suffixes for words, does Ariel mean the same thing as Arwen? Ar-wen, Ar-iel? THE LITTLE MERMAID IS AN ELF?!?!?!! Needless to say, the geology never got done.
*You just realized that geology homework IS related to LOTR because volcanoes are part of geology and Mt.Doom is a volcano.
*Okay, you agree that everything on earth, from applesauce to strawberry pudding to zebras, is related somehow to LOTR. (See "The Round-About Game" in the middle earth mirth archives.)
*You spend your lunch hour at school on the BD. (Hey, whaddaya know? It's lunch time right now!)
*You dream in black and green.
Ar-wen? Ar-iel? Ar-agorn? (shudder)
MAEG!
Ar-kansas? Ar-changel? Ar-snic? Ar-chenemy? Ar-gon?
