Tired of Tolkien

[Liriodendron]

I think you 'were' on the right track. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] You don't have to be over bearing (obsessive) about something you love. If you are young enough to be in school, there are many other things out there for you, besides LoTR. Talking about it all the time (to people who might not have been all that interested) is not cool! (IMO) You should be developing your own identity, not imersing yourself so heavily in a fictional story that other people might only think of you as "The Tolkien freak"! Enjoy the books, movies when you wish...visit The Downs for fun and refreshment...and get real! That's my opinion! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
