Tolkien Fandom - How much is too much? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I like to discuss Tolkien; that does not mean I am obsessive. Well, there is that nervous tic I've had ever since viewing the Two Towers movie, and I do get annoyed when someone refers to a "green great dragon", but other than that, I am...ummm...fine. *body shakes convulsively*

Actually, I do not consider my self a geek -- no, really! I have a wide range of interests, and it just seems that my passion for Middle-earth is more conducive on an internet dialogue basis; whereas, my music fetish is more personal, with a guitar in hand in a pub with several old drunken reprobates overimbibed with Guinness and valiantly attempting to be twenty years younger than we are.

There are weirder things to be attached to. For instance, I love sports, but you won't see me wearing another man's jersey like some sports freaks. I appreciate athleticism, but that type of man love is rather odd -- to me anyway.
