I had my birthday party recently. I had a cake that I made with the One Ring on it, the Black Tongue of Mordor inscribed in black and red frosting and everything. I have several calendars of the movies, the movie companions, the concept art book, and I regulary wear my cloak and "inverted" One Ring. I do not find myself worthy to carry the One Ring, I'm far to weak, so I have a large silver ring on a golden chain to show my fandom. If another one of my LotR obsessed friends is unsure of a quote in the movie, they usually ask me about it. I can desribe all the characters costumes IN DETAIL right down to eye color, pants color, embroidery etc. Though I'm not a big fan of Arwen in the movie (no offense to those who are) I regularly use "If you want ___, come and claim ___!" And raise my fist in a threatening manner. Despite all this, I only scored a four on that quiz. So that means I'm not obsessed! Now I have proof! Hahahaa! I dont have a shrine to any particular character because I can't decide which one is my favorite. I do have an exceptionaly large poster of Frodo though. I freak non LotR people out with the famous line "Lasto beth nin! Tolo non galad!" They seem to think it's some kind of a curse which my LotR friends find amusing. Although my Gollum impression is not that, um, impressive, i find myself sticking "my Precious" after a lot of sentences, in a normal conversation and I'm totally serious about it. I leave the slogan "Frodo Lives", the Rings prophecy, and Aragorn's prophecy inscribed on my desks at school. It's really quite amusing to come back the next day and find question marks all the way around it or a comment like "ROCK ON!".
