What obsessive things do YOU do?

[hobbitlass]

I have an update about my own precious. The Burger King Frodo glass I talked about in my post (about 13 back). It's LOST...the precious is no more...I broke it!! WAAHAAHAA!! Sixteen days before Christmas, making it a full year of using it everyday, I was reaching for sugar when I knocked the soy sauce bottle onto my Frodo glass. And it split in two. [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] I am lost without it. I can't choose which glass to use, cause I stare into the cupboard hoping it will magically appear whole.

[Gorwingel]

I am not really obsessive but ...

I wear my Elven Brooch on my coat and wear it almost everyday.
I have a FOTR movie poster on my wall (the final one from the cover of the theatrical DVD) and I sometimes say hi, or hello to Frodo [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
I am always talking about it, to my family and friends, and it always just ends up in my conversations (by mistake, of course [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )
Me and my sister (who is kind of a fan, but more of an obsessive Orlando Bloom fan) quote lines from the movie, and sometimes practice our English accents [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
She wants to go to England, and get an accent, and date an English guy.

My name is Pipkin and I'm a Ringoholic.
I've read the books once a year at least since 1969.
I have a thing for Boromir to the point where, when I met my husband-to-be, the first thing I thought was, "Hey, he could be a Boromir!" Large, strapping, MUSCULAR 17 year old who got transfered to my school. That was 32 years ago and I still adore him. He loves sweets, so I call him Beornomir.
I stand in front of automatic doors and say, "Mellon!".
Online I hang out in Frodo's kitchen with a bunch of other Middle Earthlings. We sometimes actually throw parties for the hobbits.
When my in-laws come, I say, "Crebain from Dunland!" and hide behind the couch.
If I come up on a traffic jam I shout, "You shall not pass!".
My two year old granddaughter can actually do a passable Gollum saying "my precious".
If there's a traffic detour I say, "What new devilry is this?".
While decorating my mother-in-laws house, after a long, tiring half-day, I said to Beornomir, "Not with ten thousand men could you do this thing.".
I have more rings than I can ever, ever wear....and I want MORE!
So no, I'm not obsessed, it's just a passin' fancy.

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

everytime I see a LotR commercial on TV, i spazz and start waving my hands, getting all excited. I ALWAYS find a way to integrate LotR into my conversations. (because of Pippin) i want to move to Scotland and get a Scottish accent. I count down the days to the movies opening starting in October, around my b-day. Whenever something happens, I quote LotR characters. I've seen FotR 13 times, and I talk all through the movie, reciting the lines in the characters' accents. i think thats enuff.
Crebain from Dunland? hahaha thats great! i love that [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Nevfeniel]

So, my topic still lives? Yay!
*clears throat*
When I found a few catalogs from the Container Store, I noticed that they were having a sale on a product called "Elfa". So of course I had to go through both catalogs and either cut or mark out the "a" at the end. So now, the top of all the pages say, "Annual elf sale 30% off!"
I would like to buy 2 elves, please [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

When i read, i wear a hooded sweatshirt with my hood on to get the feel of the book. :]

On the obessive things, my brother, his best friend, and I were at the sold out movie theater seeing LOTR and my brother noticed that I was wearing 'THE RING' from his bookmark he got for his birthday. He, his best friend, and I all started fighting over the ring. My brother was like 'give it back, it is mine.' They eventually won and got the ring away from me, but everyone around us was watching us like 'you freaks.' Then my brohter was like, "Don't you love the end when..." the guys in front of us turned around and asked if we were going to shut-up before the movie started. We didn't. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[Nevfeniel]

Lol, you should have called your brother Gollum and told him that if he had the ring, it would only destroy him.

[LOTR_know-it-all55]

well mine's too lon to type again so go look at it under movies-obsession

[LOTR_know-it-all55]

Here's mine~ My room is covered in LOTR memorabilia.I call my little brothers Bilbo and Frodo. The latter eats a second breakfast to become more hobbit-like. (A boy after my own heart) I have watched the FOTR almost everyday since it came out on DVD. I read the books (doesn't matter which one) every day. I spend way too much money on LOTR stuff and movie tickets. I have been nicknamed LOTRknow-it-all by classmates and teachers.(thus the screen name)I domnload every single thing I possibly can from the internet. (lordoftherings.net) I can quote the entire FOTR movie and I'm working on TTT. I wear the One Ring on a chain and havent taken it off since Dec 19 2001. Oh well the first step is admitting you have a problem...

[Sindafalathiel]

I'm not obsessed as some, but I swear I might turn hobbit this summer. O, yes precious, I might. I'm gonna try belgian beer. I have the one ring, and I argue with myself sometimes, don't I precious? OoO...it's snowing...hard...NO!!! SARUMAN'S GOT IT IN FOR ME! I SWEAR I'M NOT ON CARADHRAS! AND I'M NOT GONNA DESTROY THE PRECIOUS!! YOU HEAR ME?

[Sindafalathiel]

Oh, and my hair is always braided in elf fashion, I have and use a shire calendar(made it meself) I have two bookmarks my mom got me from the school she teaches at.

[Balin999]

the first really obsessive thing I did happened two days ago.
We had a special party yesterday, so two days ago I tried on my suit and I noticed that it didn't fit well anymore because I have grown a little bit in the middle, as you could say. So i said to myself that I wasn't going to eat anything that day before our party.
In the evening I nearly faded because I was so damn hungry, so my girlfriend gave me some bread with ham. Her cat approached, well-knowing that I had something to eat. My girlfriend said "No Lilly, Thomas has something for you."

The cat looked at me.

I looked at my bread.

The cat looked at my bread.

I looked at the cat. And then I went something like "No! It's mine! MIIIINE! My preciousssss!" My girlfriend just mumbled something like: "Idiot!"
(It was in german so it sounded a little bit cooler : Mein Schaaaaatz)

[Taure Leafsilver]

I guess Im a bit obsessive. I enjoy quoting whering my brooch and squeeling with joy when I find something to do with LOTR.On hobbit day, ((september 22)) I drew a pic in my history note book of my rp chariter, Stella wering a "I LOVE HOBBITS!" T-shirt and my teacher picked it up an laughed at me but luckly didnt say anything. I also hiss "my preciousssssss" alot.....people stare OH! and when TTT came out I was first in line and got really impatiant and started tapping on the window and jumping around. again I got stared at.

[bombur]

I just recently found a piece of fabulous memoraphilia. It is a decorative ring made by a realtive. It is old enough and well made enough to have some value as piece of semi-antique (1943). There is also a great and ideological story linked to it and it can be seen from the decorations on it. So I took to wearing the ring and showing off with it. Every now and then someone to whom I show it, reaches out and says: "let me see."

I suppose you can guess my reply to that: "NOOOO! It'sss our precssssioussss!"

[Galenfea of Mirkwood.]

Where could I start? (though I don't measure up to any of you) I quote LotR a lot, made myself a badge saying "Legolas Rules!", wear my hair in Legolas plaits, want to take up arcery AND swordfighting AND learn elvish and am going to have a LotR themed fancy dress party. Also sometimes when I'm riding I let go of the reins and pretend to shoot orcs, own a wooden sword named Anuril (long story) and have covered my walls with LotR posters. That's all I can think of at the moment. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[Galenfea of Mirkwood.]

Forgive my spelling. that should be Archery and Anduril

[Airerûthiel]

I used to have a LotR door hanger (one of those bits of cardboard with a hole it that you hang on a door handle to tell people if they can come in or not) that I made myself. It had 'You shall not pass!' on one side and Wormtongue's greeting to Gandalf when the four companions come to Edoras on the other.

I call my friend Hobbit because she's pretty short, and I call one of my other friends Mrs Greenleaf because she is a Legolas obsessive! If people admire stuff I have I also like to say, "It's mine...my own...my precious!!!...". Oh, and whenever I'm chatting to my friends on MSN I use 'elen síla lúmenn' omentielvo' for hi and 'Anar caluva tielyanna' when I sign off.

[Arestelwen]

You guys are freeks!!!!!!!
but what can I say I'm one of you!!!!!!!!!!!

-In my classroom we used to have papers on the wall were we wrote what we wanted, so I wrote all over it in the feanorean charaters... nobady understood.
-I talk to myself in quenya when I'm alone or in the street.....
-after a saw the two towers, I was at the mall with my friends. They were behind me, so I turned and started walking queer and saying "thisssssss way, yessssss preciousssssss, fallow me. Gollum, Gollum. Nissssssce hobbitsssss! (people actually stoped walking to stare at me and my friends turnesd aside)
-every time someone wants to see something mine..... well, you can imagine.
-I have a cloak, an elvish dress (still making it) and several similar stuff.......
-I've got lots of rings, but I call one of the "the ring of power". Once I lost it and went histeric til I found it.
-I alway have my hair like an elf (besides, it's very long)
-I read Lotr every day
-My friends at school call me elfa, thatr would be she-elf in spanish.
-I made my own rune with all my initials (5 in total)
-sometimes I say galdelf's spells to see if I can open doors or things like that (never works)
-I actually cried when I couldn't go to the premiere of the film here in my city.
-Trying to find the way to make lembas
-I talk to and about my friends saying they are dwarves, hobbits or elves
-I'm sure there's some kind of gonblin in my room (strge things happen there, so I speak to it in quenya.........

And the list goes on and on...

My mother just stares at me and laughs, thinks I'm crazy..

Why on Middle Earth would she think that??????

[Lossentilien]

Hmm.... obsessive things. I used to wear one of my rings on a chain round my neck, it's now on my finger, cause it was quite LOTRish. I often say random words/ sentences in Sindain when I'm alone, I'm planning to learn to drive asap and go to the London premier for ROTK, I have a "LOTR wall" covered in pictures, refer to the special extended dvd as my precious....(my friend finally got suspicious and I had to give it to her *wails*)I have managed to find ways to revolve my art/design projects around LOTR and characters, and I have "The One Ring" glass- xmas pressie. That's all I can think of....just now.
BTW, what are the rings from these bookmarks people keep talking about?? I've seen the ring on a stand thing, but never on a bookmark.

[Lossentilien]

Do your friends know about your obsessions? Cause one of mine knows a litte, but I think they might actually have me committed if they ever found out. My sister already teases me constantly. And my mum thinks it's a bit weird, she now just rolls her eyes whenever LOTR comes up.

[Eglaladiel]

when i want something all to my self i say the gullom line (is there any point in saying something you all noe? nope. so i wont say the gullom phrase) yah. i do that. a lot. my friends give me funny looks, but they are used to it....but one of my friends likes LotR s too, so we noe wat im taking about....and it comforts me to noe im not alone in this world of mine....

Ooooooooooooooooooooooo boy I get to make a list. Yay!

1.I bought the one ring and whenever my friends try to grab it to look at the engravings i snatch it back and start cursing them and saying:We hatesssssssssssssssssssssssss it........hatesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss it.......
2.I bought the Light and Sound Sting toy thingy and my friend bought the mordor balde one and i went to his house. So i put the ring down to go to the bathroom. I came back and he had picked it up so I started hacking at him with Sting. So he finally picked up his mordor blade and tried blocking. We fought fro about 1 hour till i finally go it from his hand and put it around my neck.
3.I spent like 40.00 bucks on Lord of the Rings life sized stand-ups and placed them all around my bedroom. I especially like the 4 Black Riders I put outside my door. They're in that post that they are when they fight the four hobbits when Frodo get's stabbed where they all have their swords above their faces.

[Nevfeniel]

Trying to find the way to make lembas

Actually, you can find a recipe for lembashere.

[Galenfea of Mirkwood.]

[Arestelwen]

My friends know a little about my crazyness, but I'd be cursed if they found out all

[Balin999]

I just remembered that when I exit windows, I have a short melody and then it says
Come back, to Mordor we will take you.
It sounds pretty cool, a little bit scary [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

I'm seriously concidering entering the lines of elves and the 3 houses of men on my Family Treemaker software....I don't think my family would understand. Hmmm.

[ January 25, 2003: Message edited by: Horse-Maiden of the Shire ]

[Duncariel]

On the day that TTT opened I was in school and could not see it, so my crazed friend and I wrote every name from the characters in the movie on the chalk board and called it "therapy". That was fun [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

[Hirilaelin]

Well, I call my sister, "the evil that does not sleep" because shekeeps me up late. (Another one for my short list! Yay!)
