My name is Pipkin and I'm a Ringoholic.
I've read the books once a year at least since 1969.
I have a thing for Boromir to the point where, when I met my husband-to-be, the first thing I thought was, "Hey, he could be a Boromir!" Large, strapping, MUSCULAR 17 year old who got transfered to my school. That was 32 years ago and I still adore him. He loves sweets, so I call him Beornomir.
I stand in front of automatic doors and say, "Mellon!".
Online I hang out in Frodo's kitchen with a bunch of other Middle Earthlings. We sometimes actually throw parties for the hobbits.
When my in-laws come, I say, "Crebain from Dunland!" and hide behind the couch.
If I come up on a traffic jam I shout, "You shall not pass!".
My two year old granddaughter can actually do a passable Gollum saying "my precious".
If there's a traffic detour I say, "What new devilry is this?".
While decorating my mother-in-laws house, after a long, tiring half-day, I said to Beornomir, "Not with ten thousand men could you do this thing.".
I have more rings than I can ever, ever wear....and I want MORE!
So no, I'm not obsessed, it's just a passin' fancy.
