Yes, I too am an early teen. Here is my life story (or at least all of the important parts!
):
I discovered Tolkein when I was 5 and my dad read me the Hobbit, a chapter a night. For the longest time, I thought that Gollum lived between the little space between my bed and the wall. Anyways, when I was 7, my uncle (and huge LOTR fan) gave me FOTR. Inside the cover he wrote:

A somewhat fitting beginning methinks!
Anyways, after I finished all of the books. I didn't read them for a long while, but they always stayed at the top of my "Fave Books" list (mostly because no one else I knew had read them!
) When the movies came out, I was ecstatic because there was some shred of a memory left that told me these were something special. That was when I was 10 (I think???). Well, that's about it. I, however, am proud to say that I'm not a Leggie-bopper! *cheers*
