Shield another "you know you have Tolkienitis when..."

I am absolutly positive that I have Tolkienitis because of these 16 signs:

1. I listen to the LotR soundtrack nonstop (in fact, I'm listening to it right now).
2. I dress in LotR clothes (i.e. hobbit, elf, etc...) whenever possible. Actually, a few times my parents have walked in on me when I was in the clothes [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
3. I actually roleplay with myself in Lotr scenes (no, not like that). My parents have walked in on that, too.
4. I talk to everyone I hate in Tengwar.
5. I am learning to to write, read, and speak Tengwar.
6. My room is covered in LotR merchandise (mostly Legolas).
7. I am going to get the One Ring soon.
8. If anybody ever disses LotR at skool I get seriously ****ed off and I stay in a bad mood for the rest of the day (trust me, it's happened before).
9. People always stare at me strangly when I walk around the streets screaming "Lord of the Rings Rocks!" (that's happened too)
10. I collect the action figures.
11. My friends know me as "Legolas Lover" and "elf princess."
12. My dad calls me a fair elvish maiden.
13. I talk how Tolkien writes.
14. I bought a bow & arrow set (I'm actually getting quite good).
15. I can repeat almost every line from the movie (I spend my lunch doing that).
16. My parents are getting worried.

My mom has caught me trying to walk like an Elf. She noticed that after I read to her the Song of Tinùviel that I walk or should I say glide/dance through the house.

I came up with this while thinking of my apartment: "In a hole, er, apartment which did a marvelous impression of a hole, in downtown, there lived a college hobbit..." I'm considering expanding on this as a possible LotR parody/fanfic. And, when suffering from severe lack of sleep and finally resorting to drinking coffee (ack!), I wrote down an extensive list of character and place names for "Lord of the Beans", a coffee-themed LotR parody.

I've named my rat Dr. Meriadoc Bramwell Livingston (Doc or Mr. Merry for short); my guide dog's in-harness personality is "Ida Gamgee"; and I'm currently researching the possibility of owning a cockatiel, which I plan on naming "Pippin". [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] (And I'd like to teach him to say "Fool of a Took" if I can. Anyone own a cockatiel or know of some good resources I might look at?)

I don't think I'm turning into an elf or hobbit (cause I'm not growing. At all.) but I knew I was obsessed with LOTR when I wrote a parody on it, with each of the character's writing a diary from their own perspective of the journy. It's pretty funny, everyone uses Pippin as a scapegoat and Merry has a PhD in psychology.

Yeah, avarerniliel, could you give us a link to your parody? I love reading that sort of stuff! (In all of mine, I tend to give Pip an BA in nonlinear dynamics, formerly known as chaos theory. I'm a die-hard "Jurassic Park" fan, what d'you expect?! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])

I've had severl Tolkien-esque dreams. (See the post "Dream" in this forum for the latest one.) I have a sudden urge to learn Finnish after watching the National Geographic documentary on LotR. I quote Tolkien all the time and am simply enraptured by what he says about "sub-creating". (He was good at it, naturally; why shouldn't it enlighten me when he talks about it?) [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

No one's qualified enough to help me, so I'm quite happy to be addicted! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Tolkien also seems to drift into a lot of things sub-conciously like when ur writing something say school work and instead of writing German u write Gondor or something, I always do that.

  • I'm learning Quenya
  • I can walk like an elf
  • I respond to the name Nevlachiel
  • I'm terrified of golden rings
  • I get mad at people for liking the movie better than the book
  • After I graduate from highschool I'm planning to find ME
  • I wonder if my crush really is an elf
  • I'm changing my hair style-think elf

Well, until two minutes ago, I thought I was normal... Oh well, I like myself better this way! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Every time I see a comercial for FOTR I get giggly and start to blush.
If someone mentions anything from LOTR books or movie I walk or sit down next to them wearing a great big smile on my face.

You're obsessed (this one only applies to the movie, but don't worry I'm obsessed with the book as well) when you stand in Woolies Metro, trying to see through a non-transparent lolly bag to find a Legolas/Frodo card. I admit that a friend and I actually did this, much to the amusement and disgust of our friend Simon.

Yay! I'm not the only one who does that! Do you start bouncing up and down too? I drop everything whenever I hear anything on the idiot box that sounds even remotely like an LotR commercial. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] (It's ten times worse if they make "Jurassic Park" movies, though. You should have seen me when they started releasing info on JPIII...)

[Apart from the constant unintelligent babble, which have always suffered from,]
I'm not that bad! I mutter in Tolkien-eque style, mostly to myself, my friends at Bible Class call me a tree-hugger (they say i'm a hippie, but i think its closer to hobbit perhaps) and I really love flowers and plants, specially 'spider-plants', but apart from that...Oh yes, I have a lovely silver ring which is actually a celtic knot, but I think it's an Elven gift to some ancient hobbit family, really...it's not magic though. At least, not to my knowledge... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] My Tolkienitis seems to be a very mild case.

oh well... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Does anyone keep on and on about the movie and the books, to the fact that I totally annoy my friends, and family. I have the habbit of rooting for the Hobbits which annoys my Legolas loving friend. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] (I can't help, I love hobbits!)

Don't worry Rosa, I go nuts about the comercials for LotRs. I giggle, I blush, I get very giddy. Same thing in the book store.

Pips, if you're ever in Denver, I recommend you steer clear of the Tattered Cover bookstore. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] They have an entire half a wall devoted almost solely to Tolkien (and that's no small wall, either)! *starts drooling compulsively*

1420!

I'm new here! I've recently become obsessed, went to see the movie, came home and ordered all three books. LOVED them! I'm going to order Hobbit and Silm this summer.

I want to start learning some Elvish, but I'm working on learning German which is for a grade so I GUESS that's a little more important. :-p
When I'm out riding I pretend there are Wraiths chasing me, or I just pretend I'm hunting down some Orc. Maybe when I learn some Elvish I can ride bareback with no bridle...hmm...
When I go to feed my bunnies out in the yard I run around barefoot and like an Elf.
I'm taking archery this summer!!
And of course there's more obsessive behavior. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

My friends and I have taken to calling anything we want "My Preciousssss"
As in, "Can I have the last chip?" "No, it's my own, my love, my precioussss."

The people in Lulu's (a cafe we go to) are starting to think we're insane.

really? How come they don't like it when you are talking with them in quenya? I would be deligthed if anyone was talking to me in quenya!! Oh, wait.. thats why I'm here.. I'm obsessed with Tolkien, and they are normal people that are doing normal things..
Right now, I'm trying to give my teachers elven names, though I'm stuck on my math teacher.. maybe I'll call him Morgoth... That would suit him well.. ^_^

If only I had people in school to talk Elvish with.... I am dying! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

I talk some Elvish, scream things in Elvish in school (why is everyone looking at me like that??), try to walk like an elf, talk about Tolkien and the books with my family and friends (I think they are getting fed up with it, just a feeling I got...)
I am reading the books over and over again, compare myself with elves, hobbits.....
I write loads of stuff down about all the books and elves and hobbits and dwarfes and....u name it!

I don´t want any help for this, I consider this as normal, everyone else is weird... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Just wish that there was someone else like me in my school or that any of my friends was..

Scream things in elvish in school? Gee, you are more obsessed then me, clearly.. But on the other hand, my Tolkien obsession isn't that bad.. I'm just trying to learn the elven languages, is considering sewing an elven cap, searches everywhere to see if Unfinished Tales and Hostory of Middle-Earth is out in swedish..
And I've finally decided to just call my math teacher Morgoth and my music teacher Elenriel (she's the BEST!)

uuuuuummm... and thats not obsessive? would be my brothers comment to this..

maybe it is, but not compared to most people in here.. ^_^

Welcome to the 'Downs, Nilaraniel!

I just found an elaborate, two-page comic I did explaining why the "bathsong at Crickhollow" scene wasn't in the movie. (It's not dirty but it involves a lot of towel snapping, a big bucket of water and an angry director. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])

I spend a considerable amount of time amusing myself by thinking up odd things about LotR. Ex: while my friend was trying to get a praking space at Wal-mart, I suddenly thought "Y'know, I can see Gollum and Bilbo getting into a spat about this. 'Nasty Bagginses! It took our space, precious, yes it did! We hates it! We hates 'til five o'clock this afternoon!'" And I have a desire to write and/or draw out my coffee-LotR parody "Lord of the Beans". (I was drawing little sketches of the Upper-Classman of the Beanwraiths today in Meteorology class. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])

No, no, I don't need help at all....

Hee hee, "Galadriator"! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Nilaraniel...do you own a horse? When I'm out riding the cross-country course at my lessons, I often tell my horse to "Noro lim", which means "ride fast", and is what Arwen tells Asfaloth as they are being chased by the ringwraiths!
BTW, I own a Paint mare,her name is Aduuialiel in Elvish, Patches in English.

Sigh...I also wish I had more people around my area of the US to speak Elvish to. [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img] (sigh)

And no, I still do not want any help. I am happy with my obsessed self! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Tolkien

The only sign that I'm obsessed is that I spend all of time on either this website or another Tolkien website. I have to start talking in elvish or anything, but I would definately like to learn!

One more sign:

When your music teacher tells you to write a little song, and you can't help yourself, but have to write something Tolkien related (like doing some music to the Ring-poem).. And when you finds out she likes the LotR as well, you become really excited and starts coming up with elven names for her!

(that one has happened to me)

1420!

>>>I just found an elaborate, two-page comic I did explaining why the "bathsong at Crickhollow" scene wasn't in the movie. (It's not dirty but it involves a lot of towel snapping, a big bucket of water and an angry director. )<<<<<

Where is this? I'd like to see it! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Unfortunately, my scanner died long before I could scan it, otherwise I would have sent it into the 'Downs for the comic contest. It needs re-drawing though; Pete Jackson is wearing sneakers in the first panel and we all know that just isn't right. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

One more thing: I've become obsessed with learning Soval Phare, erm, the Common Speech of Middle-earth. (Anyone can learn Elvish, but Soval Phare is hard to come by!) Sadly, there aren't enough words published to even say a complete sentence. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] But I know some cool names now! Frodo's real name was Maura and the Shire is really Suzat! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

If anyone knows were I can learn about the grammer, etc. of Soval Phare, please let me know!
