Snowdog:
Old-school here, too.
I had no Frodo-Lives buttons (or Gandalf for President, either). But I did have several psychedelic posters.
My fellowship was not in college, but in Junior-high. Eomer, Faramir, and Gimli (as we called ourselves) sat cross-legged in the hall during lunch break and swapped fanfics, written and spoken. Mary-Sues, every last one, and all long since burned or shredded. But I wonder if I still have any of those old charcoal drawings...
Soooo... Old-School. Ah....... **cough** if we're neither Edain nor Eldar, What does that make us?
Ents?
Maia?
Valar???
Nuru-- wow.
