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

I was at my boyfriend's house, and we watched Tokyo Babylon and Return of the King. All through ROTK, I was talking to his brother about LOTR books v. movies

On your five year old's list of words he can read are "Hobbit" and "Gandalf". And after looking at a book with lots of pictures of Dwarves, he is inspired to draw a big moustache and beard on his own face with green felt tip pen.

Thanks to Hookbill, Oddwen, Squatter, Agan, Greenie, Pom, Nog and Volo my head's been mostly in Middle-Earth for the last several days, and today I totally overdid myself by doodling Thorin and Azog (as opposed to the normal random spirals, lines, squares and half-formed flowers) at work.

When you start laughing at a The Hobbit meme in class so hard that the teacher comes over and yels at you for not typing your Lizzie Borden paper. (Just so you know, it was Thorin hugging Bilbo and saying "I thought I would actually keep my New Year's resolution this year... Never have I been so wrong!")

Yes, a double-post.

When you put the Return of the King soundtrack on your mp3 player. (yes, not iPod)

Your five year old sits there and in a Dalek voice says: "Hello, my name is Gollum!" and then: "Lord of the Rings is great!"

And when he has woken you up at 2am after a bad dream, he gets in your bed and at quarter to three in the morning starts singing "They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard".

When to both impress and confuse your FaceBook friends, you use what little Quenya (language) and Tengwar (font) knowledge to post 'Merry Christmas' and 'Happy New Year' images on those days.

Of course, some will (in a good-natured way) accuse you of being a 'nerd'

The only mistake I made was assuming that they would ask me what the words actually *meant*, but none did
