You know, there was a time not too long ago when I would have fallen into the "amatures" bin. Specifically, when I saw FotR for the first time. At that point, my total experience with Tolkien was reading The Hobbit once six years earlier. When I got home that night I started a fanfiction. It was BAD. But then I started reading the books and, well, lost all semblence of a social life.
I never try to impose my knowledge of Tolkien stuff on people, but I do feel obligated to step in when someone is saying something patently WRONG (like inthe book "The History of Tolkien's Middle-earth For Dummies," when they misspelled Elladan's name as Ellahad I nearly died in the bookstore.). And my brother has been trying for over a year now to find a Tolkien trivia question that will stump me. I'm frightened because he's failing.
I really need other interests...or do I??

Oh, yeah. You know, maybe that explains my bad grade in math last year...
