ways to freak friends and family out with LOTR

[Gayahithwen]

LoL! I freak my dad out just by printing out the complete quenya-course from Ardalambion.. Together with some various articles about how to write in tengwar.. (Found here - this excellent site is actually done by a swede.. and the other one by a norwegian! ^_^ Go scandinavia! *ahem*)
Oh, Halbereth.. Both of those are great recourses for learning more about the languages Tolkien made. I advice you not to use the grey companies translations, since they aren't real quenya or sindarin, but only loosely based on Tolkiens languages. If you still want to have a look, you can find them here: grey-company.org
Otherwise, there is quite a lot of various elvish words and translations at the end of the Silmarillion, a great book by the great prof! (that is Tolkien, btw)

Somehow I think just the fact that I can quote english books completely out of context make my classmates think I'm daft.. For some reason they seem to think that it'd be natural for norwegian people to speak Norwegian.. Odd..

Do I recognize that behavior or what? Whenever I try to say something in english instead of swedish everybody thinks I'm weird. They also think I'm weird because I read books in english faster then they read a book in swedish. And they think I'm weird because I like LotR. So, what have I got to loose? I can quote LotR in english if I want to! After all, they can't think I'm crazier then they allready think I am.. or something.

Writing your name in tengwar and convincing your teacher that you really can put it on a pillow and then doing an awful lot of pillows with your name in tengwar on them. (I don't remember what that kind of teacher are called.. the one you get to sow with.. uuuuuhh.. ^_^) Well, that was one I did.. ^_^
