Merry_Pippin_Frodo_Sam: same with me. I randomly quote completely irrelevant things because something will remind me of Lord of the Rings...out loud...in the middle of class...

Oooo: my teacher saw that I had a "Lord of the Rings" assignment pad, and he started ranting about how "horrible" the movie was. This is the conversation:

Teacher: It was horrible! I didn't understand it!

Me: Did you read the books?

Teacher: Of course not!

Me: Well! Of course you didn't understand "why" if you didn't read the books! I mean, the cut a lot out! I mean about the history of the rings and Middle Earth...

A boy in my class: Yeah, I liked the movie and all, but, what is Middle Earth? Is there a "North Earth" and a "South Earth"?

Me: Nononono! You see: Middle Earth is what they call the land where the Humans and Dwarves and, eventually, Elves live for a while! There is also Aman, where Valinor is...that's where the Vala and most of the Maia live. Elves lived there for a while too, but many left (some stayed), and they didn't return for a long time. Well, it'll be easier to explain if I start from the beginning, you see-

Teacher: Rachel! We need to talk about history!

Me: But this IS history! It's the history of Arda!

He didn't let me go on, and we continued class...
