I'm sure this has already been done somewhere, but I can't find it. Anyhoo, just what things have YOU done that would be considered obsessive?
Yesterday, while babysiting, I held up the baby's teething ring and said, "This is an evil ring that must be taken to a volcano and destroyed." He just looked at me. I mean, after all, he's only 8 months old. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Well, better sooner than later that he knows that!
I bought the One Ring, and once my sister was like, Oh can I just try it on, and I wouldn't let her because I thought she would keep it and not give it back (like what Boromir would do)

Lesse... I do a lot of (bad) crafts centered around LotR. But I think the biggest thing I did was start a club. Wheeee! Boy, does that make you obsessed when you run something around a subject or what? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] My friends call me The Ringer. Course, they belong to the club, so I don't know where they have the right to claim they're not... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

i bought the one ring too, and my friends litle brother was trying it on, and he was running around the house screaming 'AHHH mom! i'm invisible!'
and when i do my gollum impression at school, well let's just say i scared some people. my teacher actually wrote on my report card once '...and her golum voice is really scary...' (i know. she cant spell gollum.) i draw countless pictures of my cartoon lotr characters. it's fun. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

It's pretty easy, just find a picture about the right size and shape, print it out, cut it out, then wrap it with tape (clear, obviously).

lemme see....i once convinced all my classmates to see lord of the rings:FOTR and PAID FOR ALL OF THEM. needless to say, they loved it. I had my notebooks filled with LOTR doodles and had my artworks stuck to my walls. also, convinced my dad to "forge" me Sting (he's good in metalworks). And also, perhaps my craziest: I screamed "SHARKEY" inside the theater where Christopher Lee played Count Dooku in SW:EP2... he he he. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Welcome to the Downs, edhel! ...and it's really cool what your dad did.
I am totally obsessed with anything by Tolkien. Last Friday, I saw The Unfinished Tales---the ONE and ONLY copy---at my favorite bookstore and grabbed it, and then looked over to my left and to my right to see if anyone was looking. And then to confirm if I REALLY had the ONLY copy,I looked throught the whole Fantasy section just to make sure. After all that, I finally bought it, even if I was supposed to buy a gift for my best friend (I wasn't able to find the book I wanted to get her anyway...)

Just out of curiosity, edhel, what was the reaction of the (most likely) annoyed star-wars-obsessed movie-goers? (wow, try typing THAT three times fast. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] )

Remember in the movie, at The Prancing Pony, when Frodo is sitting at the table with Sam, and he pulls the ring out, and starts turning it over between the thumb and forefinger of each hand, rolling it over and over, running his fingers over the edge of it, almost slipping it on but not quite?
I do that, with a big bulky band that I usually wear on my right index finger. Problem is when I misjudge and drop it, it clangs very loudly. (I have yet to trip, toss the ring in the air, and have it land on my index finger as I fall.)

I'm not really obsessed (at least I hope so)but...
Well i too have this problem with rings. I usually wear several and I always fumble with them and drop them in most unsutable places. One morning I ran into a colleague of mine who just said 'good morning'. Nothing unusual, but I was only half-awake and in especially lousy mood. I quoted Gandalf's reply from the beginning of 'The Hobbit' And that colleague took it as a personal insult (as I was told later) WHY ??? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Besides the ring thing, which I think we are all guilty of, something JUST happened to me (like, two minutes ago) that I thought was a bit obsessive. Me and my sister were sitting down here looking at a website in the dark when we heard someone coming down the stairs. My sister whispered "Someone's coming" and I replied with "Something draws near, I can feel it" She just rolled her eyes at me. I don't really blame her really. She's not as fanatic as I am, but still I dragged her 5 of the 9 (Holy number that!)times I saw the movie. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]: *snicker*

The only obsessive thing I've done was fill up 3 whole journals with LOTR drawings. There are 62 hobbit doodles, 38 horse doodles, and 5 Gandalf doodles. Oh, and a bunch of wraiths.

Hmmmmmm, something obsessed. Well, I am writing a quasi-scifi LOTR story, concerning disruptions between our dimensional plane and the one in which ME exists(all original characters, NO MS). And I'm helping my brother write the script for his ME parody; he plans to film it before summer's over. Filming a parody, I don't know if that's obsessed or not. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

My family and friends think I'm totally obessed. Each time I carry on a conversation with someone, I always somehow manage to bring in LOTR into it. It drives everyone nuts!

I asked my mom (hypothetically [sp?]) if she were to open a restaurant, would she go with my suggestion to name it the Prancing Pony? She said yes, but she didn't realize it was LotR until I told her! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Once when I was reading the Bible aloud I said 'King Saruman' instead of 'King Soloman'. It was rather embarrassing.

I can imagine.
I'm making prosthetic elf ears. . . and so is my friend; we're going to dress up as an elf and a hobbit for TTT premiere (if I can get tickets).

Good for you Gimli!
Would you count intensively studying Elvish (writing, pronunciation, etc.) quoting constantly from the books, always bringing up LotR into conversations, having dreams about M-E, hanging out here in the Barrowdowns most of the time when I'm awake, singing Elvish songs, and always referring to LotR obsessive? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Yea, I thought so... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
