1001 reasons...

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

-You get kind of mad when your friend who likes LOTR but was never very expert on it starts reading the Silm, because you don't want her to go around assuming that she's more knowledgable than you are. At least she still knows almost nothing about Tolkien's life! There is still hope!

-Not really book-related, but in a random moment of boredom, you start humming disco/techno-y music and dancing around in honor of our very own Disco Monarch.

-You're to the absolutely hopeless point where your word hallucinations are absolutely absurd. I saw the word "preserves" and thought it said "potatoes". If that isn't sad, I don't know what is. And I do it almost daily.

-You received lots of lovely blank books for Christmas and your birthday, and plan to use one to record all of the poems in LOTR in a nice calligraphic style, and the other (it's red, incidentally) as a volume of spontaneous LOTR- and Tolkien-related essays.
