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

[the guy who be short]

Sure thing, Master Dwarf! Joint party it is! I'll bring the miruvor!

Bah! Miruvor! What we need is some nice strong ale, lass! So, where's the party? Doriath, Ossiriand, Gabilgathol or Tumunzahar, which you in your tongue call Belegost and Nogrod? Aye, I know, all four now lie beneath the sea... We could have an underwater theme. Is Beren coming?

-When you feel like you should be doing obssessive things so that you will have something to post.

-When you do obssessive things for the sole purpose of posting them.

Too wit, too whoo. Too true, too true.


When you know the dwarvish names for Nogrod and Belegost by heart.

When you go outside to observe Mars and end up spending more time gazing at, murmuring about and praising the Valacirca.

When you call it the Valacirca.

When you show your dad the Valacirca and explain it's importance to him.

When you have never ever star-gazed before all this.
