Mine are: 1). Whenever you meet a new person who loves and reads the books, and you ask, "Have you read LOTR?" 2). Keep talking in Gollum's style. 3). Keep repeating Gandalf's words "don't tempt me, Frodo!" 4). Taking many things in life in LotR's context. 5). Idealizing LotR characters for life. 6). Despite not liking the films too much watching them again and again because they are THE LORD OF THE RINGS. 7). Going for fight with anyone who insults the books. 8). Being able to talk about the books for hours and hours without getting tired. 9). Keep reciting the poems and songs of LOTR. 10). LotR's Middle-Earth being another Home and loving to visit there despite wars and darkness. They're not funny, but for now this is what I can think of.

You wonder where The Road will sweep you off to every time you walk out your front door.
You wonder why the local booze seller has just told you to 'get out!' after you have pleaded with him for the hundreth time for Ent Juice. You get reported and banned from your local park for 'hugging Huorns'. ![]() Every day is a good day to LARP. pity your boss aint so keen. ![]() You get an ugly twitch when Peter Jackson's The Hobbit is mentioned. |

There was this one time quite recently that Lommy and I had an hour and a half's hike from the bus to the cabin with heavy backpacks. Starting with the old walking song, we entertained ourselves by singing LOTR songs.

I go into Gollum mode whenever I see one of my friends dropping change.
I get a nervous twitch whenever someone praises The Hobbit movies. I clench my fists and grit my teeth with a murderous rage whenever someone asks why they didn't use the eagles to get to Mount Doom. I once held a celebratory lunch on September 22nd involving mushroom soup. Ever since I discovered Tolkien's work, I always walk around the house in bare foot and at times, put on a waistcoat.

When you entertain your baby brother with the Russian translation of The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late. "And the cow jumped over the moooooooon!!!"
