WOW! I'm not as obsessed as some of you, but here's a couple more.

-Not only do you assess the Tolkien collection in every bookshop/library but make sure it looks pretty and they are in some kind of nice order.

-You are watching TV, when the Scottish Widow ad comes on (you have to be British to get this). You tell your mum that you want 1, she agrees, and tell her its because you can look elvish and like you are from Lothlorien. She laughs.

-Your dad is in the hearing of this conversation and even he understands what you are talking about even though he's never read any of the books or seen either film.

-You manage to explain the whole plot of ROTK and the end of TTT (the bit they missed off the film) to your friends in 10 minutes. AND you keep them interested.

-A guy in Yr 11, who occasionally talks to you knows on MSN Messenger knows you as Aragorn because of your never changing display pic.

-You play a game with yourself to see how quickly you can link ordinary words to LOTR. Paris--Eiffel Tower--Two Towers--LOTR (that was obvious though)

-You get sad when your friend won't let you talk about LOTR on MSN cos he's the only close friend who's read it.

-You have to bribe said friend with spilling his secrets if he doesn't let you talk about LOTR.
