I mean, I knew An Unexpected Journey would be crap. I only watched it because of the actors.

I have to admit, Benedict Cumberbatch has a hell of a voice. He'll make a great Smaug.

You have the dream where you're the wizard standing in for Gandalf and shout, "You will not Pass." And you have it over and over and over and over again.

And the falling stinks :P

1. You refuse to play a band instrument for your schools instrumental program because every time you hear drums all you can think is... "drums in the deep" and "we cannot get out"

2. You start reading your two week old sister The Hobbit...

3. Instead of studying for a rather important test, you watch the entire Fellowship of the Ring extended version, and then when you get a bad grade on that test you say to yourself... "fool of a Took" (even though your name sounds nothing like Took), then realise you don't care about your test because it was such a good movie.

Before i read this thread i thought i was obsessed. When i read this thread i began to think i wasn't so bad. Now after posting on this thread i have decided i am offically obsessed.

1.Your friend tells you she can't come to your house for a LotR movie marathon because she is sick, you start to cry. And that's NOT because she is sick...

2.You're asked to do a project on three books for English, andthe teacher immediatly turns to you and says, "No Elyna, you can't do the Lord of the Rings as three books."

3.Your friend asks you to find a cool quote for her FACEBOOK page, you immediatley recite several of your favourite lines from Lord of the Rings.

...when on New Year your sister gives you a bookmark with your name in Elvish.

You get mad at your boyfriend because he won't have a LOTR marathon (The movies are "too long")

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Every time I tell my boyfriend how precious he is, I have to avoid saying he's "my precious" because I don't want to sound like Gollum.

Also, my family just had the audacity to have the balrogs having wings argument with me.

Hahaha! Oh my. Sometimes my family attempts to strike up a serious conversation about Tolkien or the legendarium or the movies. I try to change the topic, because it's just impossible to explain the dynamics of an entire fandom in a few sentences of casual conversations, and they don't get it anyways.

(On the flip side, occasionally my siblings would make up funny alternate endings where Sauron looses because he stepped on a piece of gum and got stuck to the floor or something. I appreciate the Middle-earth mirth. )
