You know you're obsessed with LotR when:

~you go into transports of joy when your classmates decide to watch FotR and TTT on your class trip to Canada
~someone brings the movie "Rudy" on the trip and you get strange looks when you scream "Hey, Sean Astin's in this! Cool!"
~you demand that your mother take a picture of a map of medieval Spain when you spot the name "Aragon" ("Mom, look! It's spelled almost like "Aragorn! Quick, take a picture!")
~you start reciting "The Lament of the Winds" at Niagara Falls
~you are psyched to find out on your campus visit that there is a guy at Ripon College who looks exactly like Gimli; which happens to be his nickname
~you are thrilled to discover that nearly the entire campus are fans of LotR
~for your Religion IV semester report on a religion or something related to religion in general project you choose LotR as your topic

I should mention that "noble stone" thing to my Chemistry instructor.
