Wow, this was an old thread! But I am going to put my answers anyway.

You know you have Tolkien fever when....

-you are taking notes on Spanish history and write "Catherine of Aragorn" instead of "Aragon"

-you write "Elven" instead of "Eleven"

-you write perfect Tengwar... everywhere. On your hand, your crappy pocketbook, your desk, your notes... etc.

-you answer your cell phone, "Hello, you've reached the Prancing Pony, how may I help you?"

-whenever someone says the word "stairs" you say "up, up, up, up, up the stairs!" and other things like that.

-you make a shirt with the White Tree of Gondor on it, which on the back says "Seven stars and seven stones and one white tree"

-you write notes to friends in Tengwar so other people can't read them; you write the whole of Galadriel's Lament on your arm in Tengwar out of sheer boredom

-you say that people who curse are "orc-minded" because it says so in the appendices... I guess that makes me orc-minded too... wah.

That's all I can think of now that apply to me!
