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

1. You go someplace to watch fireworks, thinking Gandalf will be the one lighting the fireworks off.
2. You go to watch either The Elephent man and/or the goonies and all of a sudden... "Oh My God! It's that Orc!"
3. You see a crow and the first thing that comes to mind is "Crabine from Dunland!"
4. Watch Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and think.. "Are these guy's the same Dwarves that got the seven rings?"
5. Think that a Lighthouse is Actully the Eye of Sauron and the Tower of barad-dur

That's the end for now. Hopefully nobody beat me to any of them :P

Haha, that actually reminds me of me and my dear sister Greenie and a friend of mine playing Elves when we were small. There was a crow and I shouted "Crebain!" and hid and my friend thought I really was afraid of the crow.

That is too bad.

Anyway, welcome to the 'Downs, Babidi Buu.

To add one sign of addiction, I think it fits that you almost accidentally quote LotR and then you are disappointed that your sister doesn't continue with the next line...

you tend to see Elves everywhere. and fall in love with them, at some extent.

When you get sent pictures by a proud new grandmother and have to resist focusing overexcitedly on the child's perfect tiny and pointy ears

And wishing the small girl on the bus named Arwen would emulate her namesake and sit quietly...

(are there really parents who name their kids after LotR characters? if so, I haven't met them, nor have I met a child named after a book character. well...not in this country where spanish names are often used.)
