You know you're obsessed with LOTR when ... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Saraphim · 06-10-2004, 12:55 AM

When watching Harry Potter with ten of your friends (no, not joking, we took up a whole row), you and the two other LotR fans (convieniently placed next to you) whisper about the correlations between the two. And when the Dementors come on the screen, you yell: "But there are only supposed to be nine!"

You need a hat. You buy a plain, tan baseball hat. Then you write "Frodo Lives!" on it.

You get a new cat, name it Turin. It won't respond to any commands. So, as a joke, you talk to it in Elvish. It begins to obey, but still doesn't know any English.

-You argue with your brother for 15 minutes that Link in "Zelda" is not really an Elf and in addition to that, all Elves that aren't Quendi aren't real Elves.

-Your LotR book (as well as the Hobbit, the Sil, UT...) never leaves your computer desk except to read them as a referance while you are on the computer.

When you are reading your history book and you come upon the words "Middle East" you mistake them for Middle Earth. Believe me, it happens...

All of your books are falling apart.

No joke, my Fellowship really is breaking up!

Talking about falling apart books...
My mom has a copy of LOTR, all the books into one,it has been read by me, my mom and my brother although I read that version several times and I am amazed that it hasn't fallen apart yet. However the spine is very cracked you can't even read the title:The Lord of the Rings anymore.

I confess I was also reminded of the black riders when I saw the dementors.

Of books falling apart my dad owns a 50th anniversarry book of The Hobbit and even though it's a hardcover there's a huge break in the middle of the book where the binding is exposed and the poor old book looks like it's on its last legs.
