[Galenondowen]

May I join? I'm Galenondowen, or Galen in short. My parents and I have seen the movies, they admit that they're good, but not the best. (Probably no film is the best for them.) And I'm an only child, so I can only talk to my own reflection, and live in my own fantazy. Well, I do get to explain something for my parents and friends when watching the movies, but that's it. I tried talked to my mum about LOTR, elvish, etc, she'd smile and listen. Sounds great, huh? But then when I paused to take a breath, she said 'I think you're too obsessed with it, dear.' Most of my friends like the films, and that's all. Except my best friend, she's more tolerate with my obsession, everytime I tell her about LOTR, etc, she'd listen, but often gets confused and I have to change topic. When I look for online LOTR rpg games, she'd say encouraging things, and tell me remember to inform her when I've found one, for she'd like to play as well. Yet she says them with a fake passion. It's warm, I really appreciate her friendship, but it's equally frustrating, if you get what I mean...
Then I found a girl, according to my best friend, is obsessed with LOTR. I was very happy, but then I found out she's not obsessed with LOTR at all, she loves the movies because of the actor of Legolas (Orlando Bloom). In other words, she's obsessed with Orlando Bloom, not LOTR...
So, I'm the most obsessed with LOTR among friends and family. And I'm the only one who has read the books...
