You know you're obsessed with LOTR when ... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Iaurhirwen · 10-18-2004, 07:22 PM

My friends and I were discussing the other day which movie would be shown during the special free day for the students that did well on one of the standardized tests we had to take. We mentioned that whatever movie shown could not have any curse words in it. I mentioned that we should watch LOTR, of course. My one friend said "But wait, we don't know if there are any curse words in it (referring to the Elvish that is not translated). Wait, you do." This is not even one of my good friends, just a "homeroom friend" and they knew of the obsession. Ahh, life is good.

Unfortunately, we ended up watching the Disney movie Miracle, about the 1980s US hockey team who ended up winning gold at the Olympics. Not a bad movie, but I would have preferred LOTR.

You know your obsessed with LOTR when...
- Your friends ask you what music you listen to and all you have in your cd case is the soundtracks...
- You find yourself trying to preform elvish tricks like walking over a creek on a rope... ( i advise not to try

)
- You pretend like every sandwhich you eat is lambas
- You secretly hope elves live in your backyard
- you go to the ocean and you look for white shores and an endless horizon
- you argue with your english teacher that valinor and avalion are not the same place...

- You listen to rocks hoping to hear the marching of uruk-hai

... what else is there in life than lord of the rings??

Farmira, I loved the last one. Never have thought of that.

Believe it or not there is a place not to far from my home that is called Rivendel. I have convinced a friend that we are going to go there and search for some elves. Unfortunately someone the other day broke the news to me that this "Rivendel" is a place for those who are depressed, obsessed, "crazy"... Hmmm wonder if they will take me? Oh well off to Rivendel. Hey I made a rhyme....

I'm not obsessed, its a past time hobbit.

You know you`re obsessed with LotR when:

My most looked-forward-to-days this month are:

When my LotR blanket I ordered from a catalog is delivered

and
Halloween, when I get to wear my Frodo costume to my new school.

I`ve been in my new school for about 2 months, and am now known as the crazy/hyper-active/smart/Lord-of-the-Rings-Obsessed girl.
The last title is my favorite. I got it from my locker, my books, my t-shirts, speaking elvish and lines from the movies/books, speaking in my Gollum voice, ect.

I tried to convince my music theory class last year that my Nutri-Grain bar was lembas... they told me to shut up.

NightKnight · 10-22-2004, 08:01 AM

Yeah, I usually do that. Bread = Lembas, that's just the way it is.

We (my class) had our annual halloween dressing-up day today. And I was... Frodo! Maybe not the best Frodo ever, but I got to borrow my friend's cloak, and with a Sting-shaped wooden sword and the One Ring on a chain around my neck I think I did fairly well. I even made a Phial of Galadriel! An old plastic Fanta bottle with a plastic bag and some paper pieces inside, and then a flashlight to light it up. It looked pretty good in the dark.

And then we had a voting, you had two votes per person. So out of 46 votes, I got one. One vote!

Actually, I never expected to win anyway, it was just a fun thing.

((^^^ wow that phail of Galadriel that you made sounds awesome!! in my opinion, and im sure everyone's opinion in this forum, you should have so won that contest!!! we would have voted for you!! ))
