Mae govannen all you crazy LOTR-obsessed people! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I’ve read this entire thread, as well as number one and two. I’ve been meaning to post some of my own obsessiveness for quite some time now, but (I don’t know why…) I never did. But still, here’s some (not all by far!) of it:
There in the order they pop into my head, and some, most, are fairly old

You know you’re obsessed with LOTR when:
• You pop anything LOTR-related in any conversation, no matter what it’s about. (This seems to be a trademark for us Tolkienites, ey? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ) My friends no longer give me weird looks though…
• After you read the ‘What’s the worst that could happen?’-thread, your so worried and depressed (about the changes in FOTR and TT, and what PJ might changes in ROTK), that when you call your best friend (who had never read anything from Tolkien, while she says she likes good books!) you start ranting about all the changes, mainly Arwen / Glorfindel, Faramir, the Ents, the elves at Helms deep, and so on. She had seen FOTR, but not the TT, so besides ranting, I got to explain the story to her. You go on and on about it, even though I had to ask her what the time to meet each other the next day.
• With your rambling about LOTR, you’ve made said friend so curious, that the next day when you’re going to town together, she helps you hunt for LOTR-books. (I did some other obsessive thing on that trip, but that something different all together). And the moment she got her salary, she brought her own copy of The lord of the Rings! I love her, she’s a great friend. For know I have someone to discuss hobbits, elves and so on with.
• You try to pursue said friend to join the Barrow Downs. To bad she’s an internet-hater, so it’s going to take some time. But I will win! I will not let the White City fall! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
• When somebody you don't know (or know) comes to pick up your little brother, and he is walks barefoot, you immediately think: “A Hobbit!!!"
• When you are supposed to write down: 'That was also the time that Hitler came to power', and you almost mistake Sauron for Hitler.
• When you agree with everything that has been said on this thread, as well as all the others!

I’d say that’s enough for now, don’t you all think?
*silence*
Hello-oh?
*comes out of her little corner, still nibbling on her lembas, and sees everyone a sleep, because of her constant, stupid I might add, rambling*
~Deep Sigh~
Everybody, weak up! *pokes everybody awake with her pokey pokeystick of doom*

Yeah, I’ll stop now… *sheepless look*

Just one more question, please: Could anybody give me a link to that thread about a LOTR-community? I can’t find it, but I would really like to read. And enter. Oh, my vote so far goes to Rivendell (if you can’t choose Edoras of Minas Tirith, that is).

Thanks a whole lot!

Navaer!
