What obsessive things do YOU do? - Page 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The-Elf-Herself · 07-10-2002, 03:44 PM

Brinniel-I know what you mean! Whenever I meet someone I haven't seen in a while one of my first questions is: "Do you like LOTR?" Their answer is usually: "LOTR?"(I always forget that non-obsessives don't know the abbreviation [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ). I even asked my two cousins if they had heard about it, and they're only five and six; a little young to be interested. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
I'm dressing up as well(as an elf, what else? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] )

Hey ya'll!! I have a delema. I want to have a Lotr themed B-day party, but if i did i know that the people i invite would come but they're not as "interested" (that's the pc word for obsessed) as i am about Lotr so they might not enjoy themselves as much. *sigh* woe is me.

Well to contibute to this here thread I hand-sewed a red velvet cloak, and will procede to put the doors of moria on it in teenie tiny read beeds. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

My sister & I are seriously contemplating a 10 hour road trip next April just to see a ballet at Butler University entitled "The Silmaril". Yes, I live for anything and everything Tolkien!

07-12-2002, 11:48 PM

Nevfeniel: about the theater thing? People there just smiled, they thought I was crazy or something /but I am! ;O)/. anyway, a person in front of me turned and smiled, he said "Tolkien fan, huh?"...at least he got it! My cousins still teased me about what I did...but I'm quite proud of that!

07-13-2002, 12:02 AM

oh, oh, i have another one: i designed and printed two shirts: one had ELF on it, and the other reads: LOTR IS LIFE...THE REST ARE JUST DETAILS. I had my best friends call be by my elven name (my other friends just call me edhel), and I insisted placing my "One Ring" on a necklace lest it begins corrupting my soul...

On my way to class everyday we drive by this bilboard that says vote for somebody and his last name is Aragon. Everyday I have to look at it twice. eventhough i know it doesnt say aragorn i still think it does.

Uialellethwen · 07-16-2002, 11:07 PM

Obsessive, eh? Well, I probably shouldn't be doing this, because I am obsessive-compulsive - not to mention some other disorders...

Anyways, what have I done?

*went shopping for someones b.day present and ended up buying myself some rather expensive memorabelia and the person a cheap gift. (my mom gave me money for it! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])

*I talk in riddles without realizing it.

*I start singing Aniron or May it Be (usually Aniron) out loud. All the time, and at the worst times.

*I memorized full scenes from FOTR... even the ones in Sindarin or Quendi...

*I turned my bedroom into a shrine for LOTR.

*I've done more stuff that's obsessive about LOTR and stuff that is obsessive about other things too. Elijah and Orlando to be a few other things. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Good enough?

Uialellethwen · 07-16-2002, 11:24 PM

Oh yeah... I do wear a gold ring on a clunky silver chain around my neck, so everyone I know always has to say something about how crazy I am. Then I just remind them that I am on meds.

But the ring thing isn't because of LOTR, although that sounds saner, but it's because my father gave me the ring... It's hard to explain... There's a whole big thing behind the scenes, if you know what I mean.

And yes, I am guilty of having LOTR dreams. None which are less than the rating of 18A, of course. I have almost total control over them...
But LOTR isn't the only movies/books that I am absolutely mad over...

Two words. (Please don't kill me for saying it!) Harry Potter.
I just started having dreams about it. Pretty cool. I made out with Harry and Draco (not at the same time! Eew!)

Anyways... I've done some crazy stuff like that... Oh, and I have already planned what my friends and I are doing for the premier of TTT. Of course, I'm making them dress up in costume (I'm either going as an elf or myself - a LOTR freak. I actually have those two costumes. Almost done making them. As in starting to make them. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Any suggestions on which I should go as?) and then we're taking a limo to the theater downtown for the first showing. Unfortunately, I can't buy the tickets yet! Ah! Maybe in a month I can. Blame the box office!

Oh yeah, don't kill me for being a SW and HP freak too!

Elenna · 07-17-2002, 07:03 PM

List of obsessive things Elenna has done:

1) spent 200 dollars on fabric for my TTT costume. (I'll be paying my dad back till I'm 30)

2) bought one of those cheap ring reproductions, wore it to school and danced around saying "you can't see me"

3) scream at mean people "Go back to the shadow, for you shall not pass!"

4) smacked someone for making fun of Ian McKellen for being gay.

5) smacked someone for saying that the elves were all women

6) convinced everyone to call me Elenna instead of my real name

7) am working a summer job to buy a sword

8) wrote music for most of the LOTR songs and randomly break out into A! Elbereth Gilthoniel!

Does this make me obsessed?

tangerine · 07-17-2002, 08:58 PM

I work at a movie theater. Trust me, we DO NOT care if you dress up. It's something to talk about when its dead there, but thats about it.
We usually get in free to see the movies, but i couldnt get in free opening night, so i had to pay full price to get me and my dad (was also a huge LOTR fan as a kid) in. I would sneak into the theater all the time to watch the preview, which would in evitably turn me into a grinning zombie during the course of said trailer. Just before i saw the movie (as in 10 minute before getting in the car to go) i was hopping around like a 5 year old kid that had to go to the bathroom.
What else...i sing May it be and In Dreams to myself, i tabbed out the theme to the movie on guitar, and that idea of the ring on the chain sounds really appealing to me. I have mentally come up with a fan fic that could fill a whole book, and would attempt if i had never tried it before and kinda trailed off after 60 pages.
if anyone wants the guitar tabes for the movie theme, PM me.

Brinniel · 07-17-2002, 09:43 PM

More signs that I am obsessed:

-have a desire for pointy ears

-sing In Dream when no one is around

-wish I could change my birth name to Brinn

-I squeal with delight each time I find something LOTR related in magazines and read the sentence over and over.

Ithaeliel · 07-17-2002, 10:27 PM

You're more annoyi... I mean obsessed than I am!! Hey, at least nobody here walks into a room and is greeted with, "NO MORE ABOUT LORD OF THE RINGS!!!" That'd be really bad. Okay, things that make me obsessive:

-I come here every chance I get, which makes me quite a hermit.
-I come into semi-fantasy themed shops just to see what they have on LotR.
-I am offended whenever I hear someone insult elves, as I am one (no, I don't WISH I was one, I AM one)
-My dad cannot call me his precious anymore without adding a disclaimer
-I have grown to dislike fairy-tales where elves are little Santa elves with candy cane-striped kneesocks, ears that could sail a ship, and are always dancing about in the stupidest ways.
-I have grown to dislike any fantasy world in which elves are impish folk, or in which dwarves are anything other than Tolkien's dwarves.
-I say, "O Iluvatar help you" instead of "Oh for the love of God" now.
-I am accustomed to drawing pointy ears in all of my people sketches.
-I draw everyone with long hair put back elvish-style.
-I just saw the movie for the 5th time.
-I haven't listened to any CD besides the soundtrack for the movie in three months.

Lady_Galadriel · 07-17-2002, 11:44 PM

Ahhhhhh!!! Today I had to do all I could do to keep myself from slapping my friend. She saw the little gold ring (the one that comes from the bookmarks) on a chain and asked me why I always wear it. I told her it was from Lotr. She actually made the wistake of telling me she DID NOT want to see the movie. She thought it was for dorks and little kids. RRRRRR!!! I so wanted to slap her.

Ithaeliel · 07-17-2002, 11:53 PM

*In really heated tones* Ooh! Ooh! Ooh, so ya wanna mess with this, huh? Oh, you asked for it!!! I would slap her too if she wasn't from clear across the country! The nerve of that girl! How dare she call us dorks and little kids!!! And I suppose she's into Harry Potter! Well, she can say whatever she wants, that Lord of the Rings Nazi! *cracks knuckles loudly*

*Cools down* Whew, okay, just had to get that out. That hit me in the worst possible spot. Nobody calls the One Ringers dorks!

Elenna · 07-18-2002, 08:02 AM

Reasons Elenna thinks she is part elf.

1) i have pointy ears. Naturally. They just, I don't know...point!

2) An intrinsic dislike of the color black. Sorry, BW.

3) When I tried archery for the first time at camp, I could hit the inner ring and bullseye of the target from my first shot.

4) I ride horses and sometimes they respond to noro lim!

5) I don't consider Elijah Wood hot. That could just be common sense, though.

Uialellethwen · 07-18-2002, 02:51 PM

Ok, if I met Elijah Wood or Orlando Bllom, I would cry. I would cry! Then, I'd ask them if I could r*pe them... If I ask politely, they will say yes... Am I crazy yet??? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Kaze · 07-18-2002, 03:57 PM

Obsessive behavior?

For one of the book reports I had to do this year, I had to give a speech as a character from whatever book I was reading. So I made myself a hobbit costume and pretended to be Pippin [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Nevfeniel · 07-18-2002, 07:19 PM

Lady_Galadriel · 07-18-2002, 10:06 PM

Errr!!! THis girl is really getting on my nerves. Today i was forced to remove the chain with the ring on it, for our concert. (we had to look nice, so they put it) apperently it didnt go with my outfit. (we had to wear all black) She made fun of me because i insisted that it must not be taken off, and that if i did take it off then the nazgul would come for the ring and ruin our concert. In the end i put up a really good argument and got to keep the ring on, (though it had to be unseen.)

Galadriel, next time that girl makes fun of you, slap her. No, not really! I'm just kidding. What you should really do is just ignore her. She only wants a reaction. If you don't give her one, she'll get bored with making fun of you, and leave you alone. It works like a charm with my brother. By the way, if she's your friend, she isn't a very good one if she makes fun of you.

Melephelwen · 07-19-2002, 06:50 AM

I may not have done something obsessive, but I do a lot of weird things.
For example, my English, (which used to be like every teenagers,) now sounds more like ... well, a bit like Tolkiens. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
Two weeks ago I had made a personal t-shirt, and I chose it to say "Lúthien Melephel" (my Elvish names) instead of just "Anne". That may not sound of much, but with a group of 50 ignorants it is very brave! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
I constantly practise my Gollum and my Elvish, though I'm not as good as one could wish. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
Everytime I get the chance to touch a computer I log on to BD [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
I totally freaked out because a friend of mine bought a lot card game with LotR, but she didn't tell me until we had left all opportunities for finding one in the next 5 years or so!!! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]
Since december I've cut out every single article or whatever which mentions LotR. That now means I have loads of stuff about Spiderman, Star Wars and even a Danish writer lying all over my room. (They say Tolkien would have disliked her - but they mention his name!!)
I'm driving my mother insane, 'cause now I've been here for 2 hours since I promised her to hurry up... [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Guess what!! Today I saw this girl in my class with one of those gold rings (the bookmark ones) on a chain around her neck!! Yeah!!! I'm not the only Tolkien fan in my class!!!

Lady_Galadriel · 07-21-2002, 06:44 PM

Today my mom and I were at walmart and we saw these really cool things, kinda like signs but made of cardboard, of lotr characters. THere was gandalf, aragorn, frodo, and arwen... Since i'm totally obsessed i begged my mom to ask the store manager if i could have one of them... He reluctantly said okay after I begged and gave my sad puppy dog eyes. He let me have one of the aragorn ones... It's sooooo cool!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

maleliel · 07-22-2002, 11:21 AM

I'm always called obsessed at school! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] I always bring LotR up in conversations too!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] My sister is also obsessed and she bought a tacky plastic sword and would wave it around quoting Aragorn!!! She broke it the other day and fixed it with sellotape and now she's always saying it's reforged!!! It's nice to have an obsessed sister!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Also, me, my sister and our friend made our own trailor for FotR and filmed it! It was rubbish but we like it!!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] We dressed in costumes and everything!!!
Yes I think I truly am OBSESSED!!! I'm obsessed and damn proud of it!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Ithaeliel · 07-22-2002, 09:16 PM

Okay, one more obsessed thing to add to the list: How many of you here have seen the Addams Family? *several people raise hands* Well, my dad was taking a nap the other day, and being that he has a deep voice, and he started mumbling in his sleep, I told him afterward that he sounded like Lurch, but I called him Lurtz instead [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Lady_Báin · 07-24-2002, 05:23 AM

Hey galadriel what kind of concert was this you had to where all black and who exactly was telling you that you ahd to take of the one ring!! What does it have to do with her that you are the keeper of the one ring?!?!?! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Lady_Galadriel · 07-26-2002, 07:32 PM

Lady_Báin, it was an orchestra concert... and for the concert the seniors decided to make everyone wear all black... The teacher told me to take off the ring... I didnt so oh well....

Mrs. Frodo Baggins · 07-26-2002, 08:24 PM

Actually, I like LOTR, Harry Potter, and Star Wars. I went through a recent Spider-man obsession. My 'obssessions' turn into fanfic.

My obssessive things:

1. Took the One Ring off the bookmark and put it on spare gold necklace chain.
2. Saw LOTR:FOTR five times (The most I've ever seen a movie)
3. Wore said Ring probably twice to the theater.
4. Might be an Elf or a Hobbit for Halloween.
5. Thought of Saruman in Orthanc during Star Wars Episode II
6. Might dress up as an Elf for The Two Towers.

The Green Ringwraith · 07-26-2002, 09:16 PM

I'm obsesed with the Ringwraiths and Gollum! Yeah, I can imitate the Ringwraith scream perfectly and can scare the living hell outta anyone with it. And the second, third, and fourth times I saw the movie, I repeated every line Gollum says. Plus, its fun to sit in the very top seat of the theatre and when the credits is scrolling, make fun shadow puppets on the screen! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Oh yeah, I am sewing a Nazgul robe for Halloween. O, I AM too old for trick-or-treating, but its fun hiding in bushes and doing the Nazgul scream and watching kiddies run away with wettened pants, yesssss... LOL.
I'm also wearing the said costume to the TT premiere in my city.

Anyway i want to change my aim screen name, and was thinking something having to do with lotr... i'm not very creative so... any sugestions??????

Halbereth Diagona · 07-29-2002, 05:06 AM

1. When I am on the net, I only ever go on Barrowdowns
2. I think I'm an elf....
3. I always manage to bring LOTR into conversations.
I wish I had pointed ears...Ros, where did you get them?
4. I nearly always dream about LOTR

Nevfeniel · 07-29-2002, 06:47 AM

I had a really scary dream the other night- Sauron was in my backyard! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Two of my friends and I somehow knew Sauron was at my home somewhere, taking the form of something, so we were searching for him (stupid idea, I know, but I get stupider later), and suddenly my mom calls out from the backyard saying she found him. We rush outside and she's being dive-bombed by this white hawk. I rush over to my mom, the hawk lands on the ground about 5 feet away, and my friends jump in the pool (don't ask me why). Here's where I get stupider: I start to taunt the hawk, saying, "You're gonna DIE!" and "You're gonna die TODAY!" But the hawk did nothing. It was weird. Then I woke up.

Elenna A Ghostly Light Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: My private bubble of innocence Posts: 563	List of obsessive things Elenna has done: 1) spent 200 dollars on fabric for my TTT costume. (I'll be paying my dad back till I'm 30) 2) bought one of those cheap ring reproductions, wore it to school and danced around saying "you can't see me" 3) scream at mean people "Go back to the shadow, for you shall not pass!" 4) smacked someone for making fun of Ian McKellen for being gay. 5) smacked someone for saying that the elves were all women 6) convinced everyone to call me Elenna instead of my real name 7) am working a summer job to buy a sword 8) wrote music for most of the LOTR songs and randomly break out into A! Elbereth Gilthoniel! Does this make me obsessed? __________________ If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying."

We usually get in free to see the movies, but i couldnt get in free opening night, so i had to pay full price to get me and my dad (was also a huge LOTR fan as a kid) in. I would sneak into the theater all the time to watch the preview, which would in evitably turn me into a grinning zombie during the course of said trailer. Just before i saw the movie (as in 10 minute before getting in the car to go) i was hopping around like a 5 year old kid that had to go to the bathroom. What else...i sing May it be and In Dreams to myself, i tabbed out the theme to the movie on guitar, and that idea of the ring on the chain sounds really appealing to me. I have mentally come up with a fan fic that could fill a whole book, and would attempt if i had never tried it before and kinda trailed off after 60 pages. if anyone wants the guitar tabes for the movie theme, PM me.

Hey, at least nobody here walks into a room and is greeted with, "NO MORE ABOUT LORD OF THE RINGS!!!" That'd be really bad. Okay, things that make me obsessive: -I come here every chance I get, which makes me quite a hermit. -I come into semi-fantasy themed shops just to see what they have on LotR. -I am offended whenever I hear someone insult elves, as I am one (no, I don't WISH I was one, I AM one) -My dad cannot call me his precious anymore without adding a disclaimer -I have grown to dislike fairy-tales where elves are little Santa elves with candy cane-striped kneesocks, ears that could sail a ship, and are always dancing about in the stupidest ways. -I have grown to dislike any fantasy world in which elves are impish folk, or in which dwarves are anything other than Tolkien's dwarves. -I say, "O Iluvatar help you" instead of "Oh for the love of God" now. -I am accustomed to drawing pointy ears in all of my people sketches. -I draw everyone with long hair put back elvish-style. -I just saw the movie for the 5th time. -I haven't listened to any CD besides the soundtrack for the movie in three months.

She saw the little gold ring (the one that comes from the bookmarks) on a chain and asked me why I always wear it. I told her it was from Lotr. She actually made the wistake of telling me she DID NOT want to see the movie. She thought it was for dorks and little kids. RRRRRR!!! I so wanted to slap her. __________________ " You can't toast me!"

Elenna A Ghostly Light Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: My private bubble of innocence Posts: 563	Reasons Elenna thinks she is part elf. 1) i have pointy ears. Naturally. They just, I don't know...point! 2) An intrinsic dislike of the color black. Sorry, BW. 3) When I tried archery for the first time at camp, I could hit the inner ring and bullseye of the target from my first shot. 4) I ride horses and sometimes they respond to noro lim! 5) I don't consider Elijah Wood hot. That could just be common sense, though. __________________ If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying."

Lady_Galadriel Wight Join Date: Jun 2002 Location: The Shire, Hobbiton, Middle Earth Posts: 135	Errr!!! THis girl is really getting on my nerves. Today i was forced to remove the chain with the ring on it, for our concert. (we had to look nice, so they put it) apperently it didnt go with my outfit. (we had to wear all black) She made fun of me because i insisted that it must not be taken off, and that if i did take it off then the nazgul would come for the ring and ruin our concert. In the end i put up a really good argument and got to keep the ring on, (though it had to be unseen.) __________________ " You can't toast me!"

Melephelwen Shade of Carn Dûm Join Date: May 2002 Location: the Middle of Nowhere Posts: 291	I may not have done something obsessive, but I do a lot of weird things. For example, my English, (which used to be like every teenagers,) now sounds more like ... well, a bit like Tolkiens. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Two weeks ago I had made a personal t-shirt, and I chose it to say "Lúthien Melephel" (my Elvish names) instead of just "Anne". That may not sound of much, but with a group of 50 ignorants it is very brave! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] I constantly practise my Gollum and my Elvish, though I'm not as good as one could wish. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Everytime I get the chance to touch a computer I log on to BD [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] I totally freaked out because a friend of mine bought a lot card game with LotR, but she didn't tell me until we had left all opportunities for finding one in the next 5 years or so!!! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] Since december I've cut out every single article or whatever which mentions LotR. That now means I have loads of stuff about Spiderman, Star Wars and even a Danish writer lying all over my room. (They say Tolkien would have disliked her - but they mention his name!!) I'm driving my mother insane, 'cause now I've been here for 2 hours since I promised her to hurry up...

THere was gandalf, aragorn, frodo, and arwen... Since i'm totally obsessed i begged my mom to ask the store manager if i could have one of them...

Mrs. Frodo Baggins Pile O'Bones Join Date: Jul 2002 Location: Mirkwood, the court of King Thranduil Posts: 15	Actually, I like LOTR, Harry Potter, and Star Wars. I went through a recent Spider-man obsession. My 'obssessions' turn into fanfic. My obssessive things: 1. Took the One Ring off the bookmark and put it on spare gold necklace chain. 2. Saw LOTR:FOTR five times (The most I've ever seen a movie) 3. Wore said Ring probably twice to the theater. 4. Might be an Elf or a Hobbit for Halloween. 5. Thought of Saruman in Orthanc during Star Wars Episode II 6. Might dress up as an Elf for The Two Towers. __________________ The Ringbearer's girl.

Yeah, I can imitate the Ringwraith scream perfectly and can scare the living hell outta anyone with it. And the second, third, and fourth times I saw the movie, I repeated every line Gollum says. Plus, its fun to sit in the very top seat of the theatre and when the credits is scrolling, make fun shadow puppets on the screen! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Oh yeah, I am sewing a Nazgul robe for Halloween. O, I AM too old for trick-or-treating, but its fun hiding in bushes and doing the Nazgul scream and watching kiddies run away with wettened pants, yesssss... LOL.
