Ooh. I don't like the word 'obsessive.' It has bad connotations. 'Aficionado' is better. But then, how do you describe what you do? 'Aficionado-ish'? Hmm. OK, done babbling. Sorry, it's late. Anyway, aficionado-ish things that I do...

Well, I do the ring thing..but I think everyone here does.

One of my cats is named Merry(although I had her long before I discovered Tolkien...I maintain that it's a God thing [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]). Next pet I'd like to aquire is an orange teddy bear hamster to be named Gothmog. I named a friend's puppy Pippin -- odd thing is, he does look like a hobbit.

Umm..I made a LOTR board game(found the directions on the Tolkien Sarcasm Page) for a different friends birthday. (She's a Tolkienite too, so she loved it.) With this same friend, I once play-acted our very own parody of the Quest, with vegetables from one of those Fisher-Price kitchens(we were supposed to be babysitting). The other friend with us was...well..highly amused. Guess there's nothing like the sight of Frodo the Plastic Pizza Slice running around with the One Hot Pepper of Doom [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img].

At one point, I was in the habit of eating a snack at 11:00 PM and calling it 'elevensies'. And I suppose my rants about the injustice of removing Tom Bombadil, Crickhollow, Fatty Bolger, Glorfindel etc. from the movie couldbe called obsessive. Sort of [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. Ok, I think I've said enough, so I'm going to stop now.
