hmm. Well, I'm learning Quenya (slowly [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]), I'm desparate to go and visit a real forest (there aren't many of those around here) and am obsessed with trees. I tend to suddenly go "Isn't that a nice tree?" and unsurprisingly i get a few strange looks for that. I now love maps, the older the better, and spend history lessons thinking, "now isn't that just like [insert event from sometime in middle-earth here] isn't that funny?".

- And has anyone else noticed how similar some of the characters names are to chemicals/gases? For example, in chemistry every time I read the word Argon, i think Aragorn, and then I go off into strange thoughts along the lines of... "Argon is a noble gas... Aragorn is a Noble King...." stupid huh?? and I always say "Boromide" instead of Bromide....

I think that's it actually. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
