[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

You know you're obsessed with the Lord of the Rings, when you are sitting at luch having a nice little discussion about a play that you are going to see, and somebody from down the hall exclaims "And your soul was stolen by a hobbit.", and you turn the corner and say "What? I wasn't stolen by a hobbit, no I was stolen by Morgoth!" And they didn't have the foggiest notion of what you just said!

Or when you are sitting outside the school waiting to be picked up by your mum, and you start talking to someone that you don't even know, about the internet, then the Barrow-Downs, and then you're having a discussion about Middle-Earth, and LotR! She says "Do you like Lord of the Rings?" then looks at the Ring hanging around my neck, and realises what a silly question that was.
