You know you're obsessed with LOTR when ...

[Quicksilver_Sprite]

- You can read the Silmarillion all the way through, no stopping

- You can understand the Silmarillion

- Questions about the Sil in the Quiz room don't stump you

- Family trees are quite obvious

- You read the Sil for fun

- Your hair is grown out past your waist, is permanately waved and has eleborate braids in it

- Or, your hair is a tangled, curly mess

- You insist that "obey your elders" applies to you, as you are obviously an elf

- It's not wine and cheese, it's ale and mutton!

That's all I can think of for now...

[Maeggaladiel]

Interesting roles indeed! Have anyone seen The Man Who Cried ? Galadriel with a Russian accent...

Yep! Johnny of the Gypsies and Russian Galadirel...

Has anyone seen the movie "Crybaby"? I think that is the title.. I can't remember exactly. Johnny was a 1950's bad boy rocker nicknamed "Crybaby." How about the movie "Dead Man?"

Okay, back to the regular topic before I anger the mods and am forced to make a blood sacrifice to appease them. Heh heh.

-You can quote entire pages from "The Hobbit," which you haven't read in full since seventh grade. (I'm in college now, so that was five years ago for me. I know, shame on me for not reading it for five years.)

-You know more about the armies involved in the Battle of Five Armies than you do for World War II. Same thing goes for the Battle at Helm's Deep, Battle at Pellenor Fields, etc.

-You know the names of every dwarf in Thorin's company, every member of the Fellowship AND their families, all of Aragorn's nicknames, and the names of every person mentioned in Rohan and Gondor combined, but you can't remember the names of the people in your school psychology class. (Well, I'm not that bad. I only know the names of Thorin's company and the Fellowship, and most of Aragorn's names.)

-You've written stories and poems in dwarf runes to keep people from reading them. (Guilty.)

-You teach your sister how to read dwarf runes. At first you feel really knowledgeable and cool, but then you realize that she can now access the above mentioned writings. D'oh!!

[Saraphim]

-you are willing to argue with complete strangers over obscure points in the books on the slightest provocation, when you can barely ask your teacher how to solve the midpoint formula. (Guilty, today, actually)

-you don't know your friend's real name, just her elvish nickname. (guilty)

-you sign yearbooks with "Tenn' enumentielva" (until we meet again)

Just a couple more. Like I have anything better to do...

I was outside in the garden working, and my step-dad was carrying this big log while he was singing: Yo ho, and a bottle of rum!
And then he threw the log down a steep slope.
I ran down some stone steps while I was yelling: No! Not good! Not the rum!
My step-dad just looked at me like I was a loon, and my 7 year old brother said I looked like a Uruk-Hai when I ran down the stone steps.
I didn't know if I wanted to take it as a compliment or an insult...

Compliment. Definitely a compliment.

Awhile back i was a Xmen 2 and when Ian Mckellen came on i said Gandalf out loud. there was alot of laughter

You know you're addicted to LotR when...

When your history teacher asks you about great battles of our time you blurt out 'Pelennor Fields' without even thinking, and then go very red when everyone starts laughing, including your teacher...
