I met one of my good friends because she was a LotR fan. A mutual friend introdduced us because she knew we both liked LotR. She got us both together and said something to the effect of "This is (insert friend's name). She likes Lord of the Rings." It was rather effective!

Yup! LotR totally brought me closer to my boyfriend. First we started the poetry club together and then one day he asks me, "You've read LotR? Right?" and I say "yes" he says "Do ya think legolas and gimli would hit it off together? if you know what i mean?"
  we started going out after that!! ________ Itunes Gift Cards Last edited by Elonve; 04-09-2011 at 05:56 PM. |

I have made some friends online through the Lord of the Rings which have become offline friendships as well. One person in particular was a rock and great support during a particularly bad time in my life and though we have had our ups and downs since, he remains one of the best friends I have ever had .... maybe it is because we live continents apart that we can talk about stuff you wouldn't talk to someone in the same room about.
To balance out the warm and fuzzy stuff, I should say I have also made some enemies and met some truly horrible people through Tolkien - inconveniently one of the enemies was the b/f of one of the good friends ..... I was so relieved when she dumped him....

No..... he was an arrogant git who believed he was right about everything (even without supplying evidence).. and got very aggressive when disagreed with .... also he was a bit of a sleazy creep but I will spare you the details... Never have I more had the feeling that someone could be violent. So I was very glad when my friend ended it without my influence... you wouldn't believe how restrained I was....
