I dont do much. I reguarly quote the book and film, have a shrine in my bedroom, bought a box of yucky cinnimon cereal (promising to eat it all, and did) just for the holigraphic LOTR card of elrond and got my friend to get two more, read the book secretly during lessons, bring it up just enough to be labled crazy, watched it three times without stopping when it arrived on DVD and am now learning Elvish. Oh, and I also do that ring thing that someone mentioned, to the extent that I did trip up, but failed to catch it.

I think thats it...

What does LaurinaAinur do that's obsessive? Wait a minute...you can't expect me to put it ALL here. How about:
Plans to start a M-E community...a 'New Age' (Har Har..Balrog joke aka 'Gollum's Secret Diary') town where all kinds of Middle-Earthians can dwell together in peace, speaking the languages, wearing the clothes ect. and no one will think we're wierd.
Reads at least one Tolkien book every week
Has read LOTR 10 times...starting with FotR, then TTT, then RotK...then starts over again
Has been saving up to buy a nice Ring but the resolve is weakening...is getting ready to buy a cheap one...feels so naked without one around her neck on a chain
Has gotten all six brothers and sisters AND dad hooked on LotR...quote Tolkien (and speak Elvish extensively) to one another...insult each other in Elvish and compare people we know or see to characters from the books and movie
Plans to sew herself a cloak reminiscent of Strider's for the winter...and wear it to college
Will wear Strider cloak to the TT movie...with a sword, boots and my stringy, unwashed hair
Would say much more but is worried about the sound she is hearing...possibly the neighbor's horse but sounds uncommonly like a Ringwraith. Will be back after investigating. *Creeps stealthily away*

I bought "An introduction to Elvish", at a time I really shouldn't have (I was broke for weeks afterwards), and I think that actually is obsessive enough.. Trying to learn an invented language..! And I've started wearing an old gold ring on a silver chain... And I write my elvish name (Vanwalossien, obviously..) on my books instead of my "real" name.. I've also managed to make six people read LOTR just by being obsessive... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

The most obsessive thing I've done lately was this morning. I was getting ready for school and I went to put on my necklace with my cheap imitation ring(not the point here) on. I could have sworn I put it on my dresser, but it wasn't there. I went through my whole room looking for it, then I remembered it might be in the pocket of the pants I'd worn yesterday and put in the laundry hamper. I went and looked in the pocket and it wasn't there. My mom asked me what I was doing and I said "I'm looking for the One Ring. If I don't find it Sauron's going to find it and that'll be the end of the world as we know it!" She just gave me this weird look and rolled her eyes. It was pretty funny. And, by the way, I DID find the ring. It is around my neck right now. I also quote whenever possible.

When I'm talking with fellow fans who also live in the same city as me and I refer to certain prominent skyline features of ours as "Barad-dur" or "Minas Morgul," some of them understand immediately what I mean (the Sears Tower and the John Hancock building, respectively).

The other day, I was having a discussion with someone about whether or not Elvis was alive (don't ask), and I accidently kept saying "Elvish".

I was sick at the end of the summer at my cottage and I was bored so I sat on the porch and recited the entire FotR movie, word for word, to myself (so sad, yet so young!) [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Yesterday in my Foods class, we were learning the equivalents of different measurments. When I saw 'pint' on the list, I wrote down next to it, "it comes in pints? I'm getting one."

I sit in school writing out whole scenes from the movie. I have memorized almost all of them.

And, when I grow up and have children, I am naming my son Sam. I'm still trying to think of a middle name though.

AND, I printed out the movie script one day, and I sat in my basement reciting the whole movie over and over. I got so into it too. It was funny. Too bad I didnt have a camera with me.

Okay, this isn't necessarily obsessive, per se, but now whenever I read LotR, I can't help putting in the personality of the Barrow Downers instead of their canon counterparts.
ex: Gimli son of Glóin, Galadrie1, etc.
I can't help laughing.
Oh, and whenever I'm watching the Weathertop scene in the movie, I always expect another, slightly shorter, cloaked figure to run up and shout, "SAVE INVADER ZIM!!!!" then run off into the shadows.

LOL
Today, when I was walking my dog, I had the strangest feeling that a car would be coming down the road soon. I said to my dog (yes, I talk to my dog. So what?), "I think we should get off the road." A few moments later, I look behind me, and there's a car coming so I say, "Get off the road! Quick!"

Okay. . . let's see. . . Oh! I named my seat on the bus Numenor because it's like an island (all the seats around it are empty). When I read, I'm reading a Middle-Earth book, listening to the LotR CD, and using a Legolas bookmark that I hand-made myself.
Aaaand. . . when I had to get married for a test grade (in other words, it was a project), I named my oldest "son" Sam, and I wanted to name my "daughter" Aerin, but I decided to change it to Eryn 'cause I don't want my "husband" to think I'm insane. I also named "our" cat Laurelin and wanted to name the dog Arnil (Noble White), but he didn't want to. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Okay, I've bored you all long enough.

Ooh. I don't like the word 'obsessive.' It has bad connotations. 'Aficionado' is better. But then, how do you describe what you do? 'Aficionado-ish'? Hmm. OK, done babbling. Sorry, it's late. Anyway, aficionado-ish things that I do...

Well, I do the ring thing..but I think everyone here does.

One of my cats is named Merry(although I had her long before I discovered Tolkien...I maintain that it's a God thing [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]). Next pet I'd like to aquire is an orange teddy bear hamster to be named Gothmog. I named a friend's puppy Pippin -- odd thing is, he does look like a hobbit.

Umm..I made a LOTR board game(found the directions on the Tolkien Sarcasm Page) for a different friends birthday. (She's a Tolkienite too, so she loved it.) With this same friend, I once play-acted our very own parody of the Quest, with vegetables from one of those Fisher-Price kitchens(we were supposed to be babysitting). The other friend with us was...well..highly amused. Guess there's nothing like the sight of Frodo the Plastic Pizza Slice running around with the One Hot Pepper of Doom [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img].

At one point, I was in the habit of eating a snack at 11:00 PM and calling it 'elevensies'. And I suppose my rants about the injustice of removing Tom Bombadil, Crickhollow, Fatty Bolger, Glorfindel etc. from the movie couldbe called obsessive. Sort of [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. Ok, I think I've said enough, so I'm going to stop now.

Well, to quote the webmaster, the Tolkien Sarcasm Page is "a small but dense collection of strange documents, fun activities and crackpot theories inspired by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien". It's also a heck of a lot of fun -- especially the Tolkien Crackpot Theories. Here's a link.

I almost called my friend (who has to walk on crutches right now) Labadal, but I didn't, since she might not be as understanding as Sador and think that the name was out of scorn, not pity.

I mentioned this on another forum, but it fits here too.
For christmas, I received the 4 LOTR glasses from Burger King. I have used the Frodo one everyday since then (yes I wash it). And no one is allowed to use or touch it. Instant death! It's mine...my own precious! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Obsessive? ME? Nahhh...


*I plan on dressing as an Elf for Halloween and when I go to see TTT

*Last weekend we had a bit of a family reunion and went out to a big restaurant...I wore my hair Legolas-style and was wearing a necklace that said LEGOLAS in letter beads with two green leaf beads on either side of the name...and I was calling my 6 year old niece "my hobbit" and did the whole "2nd breakfast" thing with her. Then she dived under our table and came up holding one of my Celtic band rings--it had fallen off my finger. It was the way she was holding it...I burst out "IT'S THE ONE RING! YOU'RE FRODO! MY PRECCIOUSSS!" And she and my 14 year old niece burst out laughing, but nobody else heard me because they were talking so loud *grin*

*I'm starting to act like an Elf...sitting/standing and watching silently...loving the woods like a wood-Elf...the posture, the silent walking...

*I'm saving up to buy The One Ring or something [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] And I'm ready for the action figures!!! I hope Mom understands....LOL And also saving up to get the extended DVD!

*I've seen the movie 6 times and seen the Special Features about as often!

*I greatly desire to learn archery...had a kick at it when I was 7 and have always wanted to do it since, especially now... Then I want to buy a bow and quiver and arrows and take them into the woods and just walk among the trees...with my Legolas hairdo... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Ad almost every night I dream I'm shooting arrows!

*I've abandoned a story I've been writing since I was 13 and working furiously on a fanfic!

*I'm currently custom-making LOTR dollz for one of my websites! I watched the movie again just to put down the exact descriptions of the characters' clothes for it!!

*I'm attempting to make LOTR stationery for myself!

*I'm trying to get Mom hooked on LOTR, as she's a fantasy fanatic, and I know she's going to fall hard for Legolas because he's going to remind her of Link in her much loved "Legend of Zelda" video games! I'm going to get her to make me an Elven cloak and I'm going to buy Elven-looking boots...

*I'm trying to invent hte languages of the story I started when I was 13 that I've abandoned for my fanfic...LOL. I'm even speaking the language as I make it up! I WANNA BE LIKE TOLKIEN!!! He's my idol [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

*One of my friends loves book Legolas but detests movie Legolas and is always devising ways to torture him, and we have fun spats because of that, and she threatened to track me down and hang me if I was Arwen for Halloween

*Whenever I see mushrooms, I feign Pippin's accent and yell "MUSHROOMS!"

Obsessed? I think not! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I feel so boring. I like to quote the book or movie, and hang out at the Barrow Downs, but...that's about it. Well, I play the soundtrack music on my piano, I have LotR playing cards, I have LotR music CDs, I'll be getting the extended edition and then I'll watch it whenever I get a chance, I like to mimic Billy Boyd's Scottish accent, but that's about it.

I bear that name that was given to Galadreil by her father!(did you know that Nerwin means 'Man-madien? *shudders*) It is just the Latin translation, but I think it counts! I also do the ring thing, have a shrine in my room, and have made a solom oath to be a Telcontar in spirit, if not blood. All my friends (they are not Tolkies! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] )hate me for that...

Obsessive? I'd sometimes rise from bed repeatedly thinking i didn't lock some door and turned off some lights.

im afraid, and this is a compliment, im not as wierd as you guys. *ducks assortment of flying rocks, tomatoes etc* Hey, i said twas a compliment!

My obsessivity will no doubt flare up when TTT comes out but for now....*sigh*

Still, my nicknames vary and most are LOTRish. Mim (as in a dwarf in the sil, and short for amy), hobbit (im 5ft 1)and elfy (my hairs quite blonde, long and i have a tendency to wear it in a half ponytail. plus i used to do archery.)

Oh, yeah, I forgot...I have a shrine to LOTR in my room (anyone here live outside the states? They are all Kinder Egg figures! I have only 4, but they are some of my fav charectors...I have Aragorn(got him first!) and Galadreil, and Frodo, and Boromere(don't like him so much, but oh, well) and I tend to babble on and on about my addiction and not use periods, except in groups of 3...

Hmmm...well, the only really odd thing I can think of that I've done is this:
One day me and my friends were sitting at lunch and we assing ME names to all the places on Campus. (admistration was barad-dur, my friends dorm was Rivendel, etc.) then when we had to go anywhere on campus that day, we called it by that name. Hehe. some of the blank stares we got. it was fun.
