This is a bit of tame but hay im a tolken freak:
-when you take the book and both sound tracks everywhere (even your saturday job) to read at every break with the music. -when you enlist the help of your friends to learn sindarin even though they havent read the books or seen the movies. -Getting very upset when someone picks up your book with out asking let alone attempting read the front cover. -watching both movies more than a doulble figure 10+ at the cinema alone. Of these i am undeniably guilty! |

Why does this remind me of my life? Its bad when the only way I will go to sleep is if I have Merry and Pippin singing about the green dragon. I don't remember how long ago it was but my family told me that I had said, "Oh Samwise you know Frodo isn't dead," in my sleep. To think I had just finished TTT that night too. LOTR runs my life. I don't go into the woods without double checking myself. Wouldn't want to be caught with an axe or something. I named my cat Gandalf only because I couldn't name it Precious. Why couldn't it have been a female. Oh well no one likes it because I call it Mithrandir all the time. Seriously I hate it when they can't pronounce the name but I can. Darn language barriers! Gotta love Tolkien.
I sleep, eat, and breath LOTR.

This summer for five weeks I am attending a governor's school. My mother would not allow me to bring ANY of my Tolkien books.
![]() ![]() ![]() Additionally, since we are not allowed to have TVs or VCRs, I smuggled my portable DVD player in without the admins knowing, complete with the extended edition of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers

Obsessed? I'm not obssessed, I'm freaked out! I haven't been able to find my copy of The Two Towers for two wekks now! Huh, surprisingly apt. But anyway I've looked everywhere and it won't turn up. Problem is I was halfway through it and now I'm having to phone my friend to read a chapter to me every night just so I can remember what happened next because I haven't read TTT for a few months. Why did I ever let myself get hooked on the films, I thought they could compare but losing the book is like losing a limb! I find myself reaching for it when its not there! Ok, maybe a leeeetle obssessed.

Try tattooing it (the inscription on the ring) on yourself! My friend tried to tattoo it around his ankle but gave up and went to a professional tattoo parlor. DONT TRY THIS AT HOME! (It does look very nice when it's all done properly though, if you don't mind being marked as a rings fan forever)

You know your obsessed when you finally get enough money saved up to buy LotR Trivial Pursuit then realize your the only one that would know the answers.
When you long for an intelligent conversation extending past the movies about the history of Middle Earth or certain characters. (Yeah I think I'm the only one around where I live that has read the books.)

1. When you are at visiting your grandmother at her lake, and your sister decided to row out on a boat, and once she goes out a bit, you leap into the lake, wave your arms frantically, and scream "FRODO!"
2. When she yells back "SAM!" 3. You constantaly scare the heck outta her by sneaking up behind her and saying "precious" in your best gollum voice. 4. Whe your gollum voice is so good, it scares people. 5. When you make up songs to tunes from movie, and sing them over and over and over and over. 6. When you haven't read any other books beside Tolkien for months. 7. Your sibling is the only one in the family with the one ring(hence, ONE ring) and she is constantly on her guard from little people who 'sneak' around. Not very good, I know, but I am guilty of all. And I also write on my arms in runes, the parents keep telling me about different diseases I'll get from it ![]() |

Here's evidence of someone so obsessed that they named their pub in honour of Tolkien.
![]() It amused me to see such signs as "Middle Earth Angling Club" and "Middle Earth Menu" hanging in the doorway - no mushroom dishes were on offer though. ![]()

You know you're obsessed when...
You are very amused by the fact that 'we will know' in French is 'nous saurons' and have a hard time pronouncing it correctly, because it's supposed to be said exactly how Sauron isn't -- 'Sore-onh.'

You aren't yet that obsessed, but you know you have another 50 years, 60 with modern science of it slowly growing on you like - like the darkness of ... Mordor! No! Not Mordor, slowly creeping up, creeping up like ... Ungoliant! NO!

When writing your CV you try and get as many Tolkien references in as possible, even if its not relevant. Such as, "I sometimes feel I'm fighting 'the long defeat'" or "I am often told that 'its an ill wind as blows nobody no good'" and so on...

You know you are obsessed with LotR when your friend (Lauri) and yourself are so "disruptive" in class because of your LotR and BD conversations that you are told to shut up, by other students...

You know your obsessed with LOTR when...
1. You go someplace to watch fireworks, thinking Gandalf will be the one lighting the fireworks off.
2. You go to watch either The Elephent man and/or the goonies and all of a sudden... "Oh My God! It's that Orc!" 3. You see a crow and the first thing that comes to mind is "Crabine from Dunland!" 4. Watch Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and think.. "Are these guy's the same Dwarves that got the seven rings?" 5. Think that a Lighthouse is Actully the Eye of Sauron and the Tower of barad-dur That's the end for now. Hopefully nobody beat me to any of them :P |

When staying a night or two in a new hotel, I write "Frodo Lives!" with my finger in the fogged up mirror post-showering on the day I leave in hopes that the maid will see it and get a laugh. You should give it a shot sometime!
