I was just recently at camp, and I was in a very LotR frame of mind, and, during one camp game, I imagined that I was Frodo, searching for Mt. Doom, trying to stay away from all of the orcs trying to hunt me down.

Shop-workers will know what I'm talking about. After finishing a roll of the long sack-bags you are left with a long cardboard tube. It makes an excellent pretend sword. It never gets boring playing with them!

Yes, I have pretended. We live in a highly wooded area, lots of farmland too. Big trees & beautiful landscapes. A few days ago we had a slow, steady rain, so I took my shoes off and was walking down the little road pretending I was in Hobbiton. I was imagining all the little hobbit holes and beautiful gardens. I was really enjoying my little adventure ... admiring the rain drops on the flowers & grass, thinking about how peaceful Hobbiton was ... then as I was walking through the grass, a bee decided to plunge its stinger into my toe, lol and that was the end of that ... darn bee ... But, my days of pretending are not over, as I'm sure I'll find the need to do it again soon

I imagined myself in M-E a lot at camp: On this big obstacle course through the woods on a very dark night I imagined I was Aragorn in the Paths of the Dead. During one relay race (held in a dusty area like the Black Gate) I whispered "For Frodo" under my breath right before I started running. After said relay race, we headed up to a mountainside for a cookout dinner, and I both imagined myself as and felt like Frodo crossing Mordor. On what has to be the toughest rock climbing wall I've ever tried, I kept hearing the music from the scene of Frodo climbing Mount Doom in my head for obvious reasons, and as before, I felt a lot like Frodo in that scene. (I tried that particular wall right after climbing another one, which was right after mountain biking, so I was already low on energy much like Frodo.)

Ohh wow this is great.
Not so much anymore, but every now and again me and my friend will have little Middle Earth battles in the hallways at school. He'll act like a dwarf and try to take my head off with an axe and I'll whack him with an invisible staff. I also love to pretend my bike is Shadowfax or any of the steeds from Rohan.

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) So all my pretending is going on in my head, for example I have a tiny forest nearby, it isn't much since I live in an area where big trees are rare,anyway I call it the Old Forrest.
