Frustrated

[Lalwendë]

Mad Baggins, boys always love to wind up girls about things like that! I had it many a time when I was at school, usually over the bands I was into, and the best thing was just to play along with it in an exaggerated, sarcastic fashion. It's funny though, I have more than a few middle-aged female colleagues who have swooning sessions over various famous men, including Orlando, and quite a few of them have their desks surrounded by posters and clippings of their favourites. I limit myself to one Johnny Depp picture and tut at all this girlishness.

Though "leggyboppers" can be really fun, though i am a guy, i naturally tried to confuse most leggyboppers in my class, like when RotK was coming out, i told all the legolas girls that legolas dies, it was great evil fun while it lasted...

Alas, I know too well what you speak of. I said my favourite movies are LotR and Pirates, and was immediately accused of only caring that Orlando Bloom's in them. So? They're good movies! I scared them off though...shouting random Elvish curses mixed with a little Gaelic and Japanese works rather well...

*sighs* I hate being accused of being a Leggie-bopper. Though, considering how much Silm and UT info I spew at random moments, it's a wonder the accusation is made as much as it is. For example, in my seminary class, we were discussing something about a book of scripture being written in Egyptian script but with Hebrew grammer rules; I of course brought up the issues I've had trying to explain how something can be written in Tengwar and English (or Sindarin, or...). Very effective.

Or, you can just beat them over the head with your copy of Silm. *shrugs*

I love this little support group you've all founded. It should have an official name:

No Lego?

Leggy Bopper's Anonymous?

Lord of the Rings not Leggy?

Operation Orlie Go Home?

The really unfair thing is that I have an Arwen screen saver on my laptop (Liv Tyler *unprofessorial leer*) but nobody has once accused me of being an Arwenatic, Liv Lover or Tyler Groupie.

I also have to pay less for my haircuts, even though my hair is longer than some women's. The unfairness grows.

Yes, I remember; I walked around chuckling about that for a few days.

No Lego?

Rather than focusing on the negative...

"Tolkien Purists, BD Branch, ## Years"

...where ## refers to the number of years since you first read the trilogy.

Then we have three natural sub-branches:
Coming Of Age, Under-Age, and Middle-Age.

I'll leave it to lindil to define, organize, and head up the 'HoME Fellowship.'

Well, you don't have to gloat about it!

Oh my gosh, you did that? I could've killed you if I weren't a TOlkienist.....

oh but I gave my best friend a CD which I promised to be full of Legolas pics but it really contained orc & gollum pix! It was fun seeing her like that.... Mind ya, she didn't talk to me for a month.

[Gil-Galad]

they only liked the movies for Legolas, and i think Frodo... well why would you kill the ever-loveable Gil-Galad? its good to have evil fun...

I hate when people do that to me! I was wearing my Strider shirt one day and there were these guys that were like, ooo you must have a crush on the creepy old guy! I practically attacked them. I told them, as a matter of fact, I DO have a crush on him! And he is not creepy, nor very old when your an elf.
A week later I was wearing my Frodo and Sam shirt, and the same guys accused me of having a crush on the short, ugly dudes, and said I was cheating on the creepy old guy. Again, I attacked them, insulting them in Sindarin. Yes, I do have a crush on them and they are not ugly! I went away muttering in my Gollum voice, and they now think I am crazier than ever.

Grrr! I can`t stand that, but I get it all the time. I`ve had someone tell me that the movie would be nothing without Leglas. It made me so angry that I didn`t even stop to tell them that it was Legolas not Leglas. Personally I like Legolas, but not just for his looks. Alright, I`ve gone on long enough! I`ll stop now.

[Encaitare]

Bah hah! I have a crush on a creepy old guy too! Go Grima! ::waves G flag::

[yavanna II]

I'm proud to say that I've a crush on a very cute guy, not some old creeper.... [waves Legolas banner]
