insanity reigns!!!

I once walked through a city in as much of an elven costume as I could put together at short notice. I was laughing too much for anyone to be able to insult me to my face, although one group of girls passed me by and muttered 'gypsy' at me. They were too far away before I could correct them on the fact that I was actually an elf.

Let's see...Randomly wearing band-aid elf ears to school, playing "Quest for the Ice Cream of Doom"(fighting invisible orcs with air swords whilst walking along a rather busy street on the way to the ice cream shop)...that's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure there's more!

Well, I'm not as extreme as I'd like to be, but I do walk around everywhere using the gollum and Pippin voices I've learned to do so well. I also quote like, the whole book. And, if I see non-fans, I usually turn my back on them, unless thier my best friend or something. I'd definately get mad if someone insulted LotR, though, definately.

The thing I'd like to do is: Go to all of the cast members' houses, get a bunch of costumes, maybe the ring, and walk around every day in those costumes for the rest of my life (or at least until they fall apart or something ).

but I do walk around everywhere using the gollum and Pippin voices I've learned to do so well.

I know someone that can do Gollum impressions extremely well. He doesn't do Pippin, though. It's pretty convincing when my friend goes psycho anytime a "one ring" is nearby. Well...it is until he dives for french fries at lunch. (What'sss taters preciousss?)

The craziest thing I've ever done? Hmmmmm well I'm not so obsessed w/ lotr anymore (plz don't throw fruit! Well, maybe raspberries-) but I'd have 2 say that the craziest thing I've ever done is probably stand on a lunch table at my summer camp and scream: 'I LOVE SAMWISE GAMGEE!!" (sure, that wuz Sam, not lotr, but wuteva) all the teachers looked amused, and the kids were-well, let's just say I'll never live it down. anyways, Sam isn't my fave character anymore, not after the 3rd movie. (Am I the only 1 who thinks that Sam and Frodo looked a little-CHUMMY in that movie???) MERRY AND FARAMIR ROCK!! yeah

I love it when people do mad things all in the name of Tolkien! When I was fourteen I got my school overcoat and embroidered the White Tree of Gondor across the back. My mum went nuts and tried to make me undo it all, so I then added the eye of Sauron onto it, for spite. I used to write things like "Frodo Lives" all over my school bag, too, having to redo it every time she had put the bag in the washing machine (it was one of those canvas army bags, very non-girly). She made amends when I was nineteen by making me a hobbit cape, which I loved wearing despite it being deeply uncool at the time. Alas, this item is now lost and I badly want another cape or cloak, although nowadays I'd probably come across as some mad witch lady rather than a hobbit wannabe, but I don't care.

If I win the national lottery I'd love to go and buy Tolkien's old house in Oxford and do something inspired with it, like open a Tolkien centre/museum, and everyone who is a member of this site would get in free!

Wow I wish I could do sooo many crazy things if I had the guts, well maybe not the guts just the resources and the money.

I havn't really done anything crazy per-se but I have mimicked Gollum before, just the "preciousss" thing though. And I have called my friends mellon and have bidded them namarie before but not lately, considering they're all very far from being as devoted to Tolkien as I am. I have dressed up as an Elf for Halloween.

What I wish I could do: Almost anything my twisted mind could possibly come up with That would be dressing up as an Elf every day or walking around clad in Aragorn-esque clothing, yes I'm a girl but I think I'd look rather good as a Ranger, that would also include a sword and a bow. I'd want to memorize more Elvish and learn to write in Elvish. I'd really want to get dressed up as a Ranger with a couple of friends (though I'd doubt they'd do it considering what I've mentioned above, but if I had friends like myself) and go to the mall and start asking people questions in Elvish or something, Where am I? What is this strange structure called? Why are you all wearing such strange clothing? Where is that music coming from?
Oh Boy, I have so many ideas about what I could do. With one last thought my brother who likes to make up hypothetical scenarios was talking with a friend about how they would each die, he said that I would more than likely die re-inacting a scene of LOR with my sword. That won't happen for as of yet I have no sword.

I haven`t really done anything crazy yet, but one thing I would love to do is maybe sing Nimrodel`s song or the bath song at the school talent show or something. Well actually I have spoken elfish to some of my friends before, and after graduation at the restaurant with my friends I did get up and quote some of Bilbo`s farewell speach. That`s all I`ve done. I also yell "Crebain from Dunland" everytime I see any kind of bird(I said it to my freinds canary once, she got a little scared)
