When I pretend I am usually alone, I can't pretend with anyone since none of my friends are real LOTR freaks. If I do something LOTR related with my family around they usually start complaining about me being crazy about LOTR. ( Although I personally think I keep my craze to myself and Barrow Downs is the only place where I really talk about LOTR)

That is true for me also Lathriel, unfortunately I have no forestation anywhere near me *sigh*. And believe me if I had a horse and a very large acreage I would go gallavanting around waving a stick, seeing as I don't have a sword (yet), pretending to be a Rider of Rohan or an Elf or whomever I felt like at the time.
When me and my brother were little we'd also used to whack eachother with sticks but I think that was more medieval than LOR based. However I knew much about the Hobbit not the actual novel mind you, but a sort of comic book version, a graphic novel if you will that I used to pour through or have read to me before bed. *Ahem* anyway it was quite fun when me and my little brother would act out some scenes especially with me being the infamous Smaug (I had a red robe, not to mention I have red hair) and him being Bilbo trying to steal my treasure. Oh what memories!
But besides what I did in my youth, I've had to normally refer to conjuring up scenarios in my head to play out whilst listening to the LOR soundtracks or some Celtic music. Yes its sad but if I have more privacy, lets say or forest or and acreage I would act my imagination more openly, and besides in my head I can do cool flips and decapitate orcs how is that not fun?
