Hello I'm Tintalle. I'm a Tolkien addict. I also read other SCIFI/Fantasy novels, but unfortunately, I sense a lotta "clones" in the genre. I mean, most of the books definitely came out when LOTR was already making history, and when you read these you know they borrowed it (and HP is no exception, and so is Star Wars - though it's a movie). So even if the thread practically tells me to get a life aside from Tolkien, I say what's out there that's gonna top this one [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] !!

I can name several Tolkien plagiarists but I don't wanna get sued just yet
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] ! Tolkien's the original and the best. An author with initials R.J. should be thrown into the pits of Utumno.

Hi, my name is arianrod (*random people say "Hi, arianrod" unenthusiastically*), and I'm a Tolkien Addict.

I rather enjoy it, though. Actually, I don't want help out of it. So... why am I even here then? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Hello to all! My name is Nehani, I live in the middle of no where, I talk to trees (they talk back), and I have spread the wonder of Tolkien to three of my friends. I do not want to be changed back, I like the way I am. I think I am a Ranger, and I can survive alone in the woods if I wanted to. I do need help, though, for I cannot focus on school when there is LOTR to think about. I need to control my mind!

I saw Bilbo and Frodo in my school library again! I really think I need more sleep. Elves may have been able to survive on 2-3 hours of sleep per night, but Humans definitely can't (at least without getting serious side-effects, like LotR hallucinations). The other day, I also sworn I could have seen Aragorn in this little orange grove by our school. He was busily engaged in picking oranges and bundling them up underneath his duster. As I passed by in my school bus, he waved to me!!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

*slinks off to find psychiatric help*

So long since I've posted here...

Tapioca is what I looked like during the sem break: no 'Downs, no person to talk to; just me, the book, the TV, the remote, and the snacks...oh, I forgot the notebook for random post thoughts.

So much for multitasking...

A hearty Amen to that! No freaking addict to understand you within 300 miles...until...

Kababayan! There's a Barrowdowners from the Asia? thread at Barrowdowns, yavanna II. Come and visit there! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

And no, Elentari, we're not Turkish.

But now, back to topic. School's back, and it's now time to be called an LotR freak before the week ends. Tough job, but I hope I'll manage.

Later days! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

I have come to the realization that I am a Tolkien forums addict. I spend way too much time on the computer. Many people can say they spend too much time on the computer, but I go online for the sole purpose of visiting Tolkien forums. I think I need help.

I've been given yet more time restrictions because I'm on here too much [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] but at least I'm getting some of my work done as well. I think I may be improving a little! I'm working on balancing my time and what I do with it, so I still come on here about 6 times a day, but I also do at least one other thing.

I'm still no hope when it comes to scraping me away from Denethor, though.

2000th post! Wooohooo!

(Congratulations Meela! I'm trying for 2000 also!)

I'm so extremely addicted to this forum that I cannot sleep at night without signing on at least once throughout the day. I really need help, but I enjoy having psychiatric problems! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

With problems like ours, who need sanity? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Congrats on your 2000th post.

Well done Meela!

I don't need help! I'm not insane! Or even sane, depending on how you think about it! *Sits in a corner muttering something including the words 'Sam' and 'Saucepan'*

Good day to you all, My name is Firneldiel, I think that i have a serious obsession with Lotr and Tolkien....but i guess that it is a good thing!! I can't go one minute without thinking about LOTR or the characters in it....I have to have it around me and i constantly write "frodo lives" on my fingernails...although i don't think that i have a problem....

:twitch: LOTR :twitch: OBSESSED

If I am an addict...then what?

I know...free cookies!

At last, after countless days of scearching, I've found an Avatar! I couldn't find Mt. Doom, so I went with Sir Pyro-Balrog, and we've since become good friends. I have a passion for Balrogs, not un-like Meela's passion for Denethor. I don't know why, or how, but Balrogs do it for me as nothing else does. Hobbits are cool, Elves are awsome, but Balrogs, Balrogs are the best!

Then, pyro-clastic, I'm assuming you have a mini-balrog? I do, he's called Bombur! Thanks to the whole thing about Boromir the Disco King, I can now link even more conversation topics to LOTR...my poor, poor friends. Oh well...

If sane means making perfect grades, having tons of extracurricular activites, and being annoyingly popular, then I'm proud to be INSANE!!!!!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I get pretty good grades (grammar school), do loads out of school (piano, organ, skating), but I'm not overly popular. What does that make me? In-betweeny???

Elentari, you can be proud to be popular here at the Barrows. There's no better crowd to a be a part of than the LOTR gang. Would we be addicted if there was nothing to be addicted to? I NEED to have people aroud me that encourage and enlighten me. Most of my friends understand that I'm a freak, but they don't share my enthusiam. I think they're missing out big time. So Forth Erolings! to us all!

It makes you normal. Well, as normal as a Tolkien addict can be. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

HELP ME!!! I'm turning into a Denethor!!!

So, I was riding this train...then suddenly, I get jostled and jingled and katzenjammered. I think to myself...Must be nice to burn this train, since burn we all must.

Tell me, am I beyond cure?

Later days! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
