You know you're obsessed with LOTR when ...

[Meela]

I'm getting a spare copy of Lotr soon. A proper copy, not the split copies. Preferably hardback. But there is no way I would ever lend my books out. They're too precious to me.

I waste too much money on magazines. I bought 3 copies of one magazine recently becuase it had a Rotk article in it. One copy was to keep for reading, and one was to cut the pictures out of. Then I realised that there were two back-to-back sides of great pictures, and I couldn't decide which I wanted on the wall. So I had to go out and buy a third copy just so I could have both sides on my wall. They do that on purpose, putting the best pictures back to back. It's evil.

You know you're obsessed when you start to consider naming your future son Samwise and future daughter Elanor...

I've shortlisted Sauron. Only a true obsessive could inflict that name on a poor, innocent baby.
