I have no friends who are obsessed with Lotr, except for the group of people from a site called the Barrow Downs [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] and thats how I like to keep it. Small and select and with nobody challenging my individuality. As a fiercely competitive person, I get very annoyed when people around me talk about Lotr, which thankfully they rarely do. The occasional lecturer rants on about neo-paganism trash and silly fantasy novels, and some silly girls giggle over Legolas's muscles, but I keep my own thoughts to myself.
I don't mean any offence, but i often wonder why everyone is so desperate to press Lotr onto everyone else. That may not necessarily be what you want, maybe you just want your friends to understand you. Personally I would just ignore them and continue to obsess over Lotr on your own. Not everyone thinks its as great as we do.
