i pretend im Eowyn or Eomer, lopping off orc heads when I ride my horse alot, all the while im humming the Rohan theme song, and me and my bestest friends(who are as sickeningly obsessed as i am) pretend the school bell is the horn of Gondor.hmmm....Me and my brother pretend we're Sam and Frodo alot, because I have a cheesy monopoly onering and a big blue glowing flash light.

i've been called Frodo ever since....[they don't probably notice I"M A GIRL!!!]

I was called Spock for three months just for wearing a Star Fleet uniform to school on Halloween. It was a TNG uniform too...

I pretend all the time...not always Tolkien related, but most often some book related...

I have a tendency to pretend to be a Middle-Earthling when walking around in stores, staring confusedly at the strange costumes people are wearing and wondering why I'm dressed like that too, and WHAT THE HECK ARE THOSE SHINY FAST MOVING THINGS oh my gosh I'M SITTING IN ONE WHERE AM I GOING?!!

This summer I went to the Shuswap in B.C Canada with my friend. Her dad had a boat. So when we were going back to the marina because the weather turned bad. We were aproaching dark clouds and I said to my friend look we are entering Mordor. Then later when mist engulfed the surrounding mountains we said look the misty mountains. Then we went on about Gollum and Goblins and Orcs and Moria. etc. It was fun and my other friend rolled her eyes at us.

I bought a siver chain & placed my gold ring, then pretended to be Frodo once....

Like you're alone on that one! My also-LotR-obsessed friend Anna and I once acted out the movie scene where Boromir picks the Ring up off the snow, you know, "It is a strange fate..." etc. I was Boromir, and she was Aragorn, and we made this poor confused completely normal girl in our class be Frodo. I think she thought we were insane.

And whenever it snows and we go out for lunch (our high school has open campus lunch periods! yay!) we play its Caradhras. We sing the Caradhras music too, and yell "Nai yarvaxea rasselya toltuva notto carinnar!" (Saruman's spell) in the hopes of causing an avalanche. And when it's foggy, naturally we play Fanrogn Forest.

I guess you never really stop playing "let's pretend"...

Really? I would have thought the Barrow Downs would be a much saner choice.

Oh, sure!

I've recently taken up archery, so sometimes I pretend that my cardboard targets are mean nasty orcses that are sneaking up on me. Then if I miss I can pretend that they dodged the arrow, and that I'm not a horrible shot.

Oh yeah, my bow is green so I named it Galencu. When I'm using it, I'm Galencuiel. Not really creative, but my knowledge of Elvish is limited.
