Here they go again!
Sorry about this, but we had to butt in...again...
-If you have a pet spider named Shelob...*guiltily raises hand* -If you've ever called someone a "Fool of a Took." -If Treebeard is your favorite enviromentalist... We think we'll leave it to you guys now...

I called my cat 'Fool of a Took' and he was not amused...
- When you have to pick an artist for a school project you either choose Alan Lee or John Howe. (I just did this today.) Other than that... I just can't think of anything |

... it hugely improves your day and makes you feel refreshed when you hear someone playing LotR movie music with a flute in the school corridors ...

... a friend asks you a question about LotR that should have only warranted a few words in answer, and yet you manage to take up about 10 minutes explaining the ins and outs of the full answer to her question.

When you at a party tell somebody off for not having answered enough Lord of the Rings trivia on facebook

You nearly die from reading most of this old thread and your old posts. The spelling is very bad.
You think about putting on the elf dress that you kept from prom. You can't help but tag Glorfindel any time he EPs in Millways_bar, even if he doesn't like your vampires. You have a Tasselhoff Burrfoot and Glorfindel thread going on at the moment. You want to make a Hobbit doll for you grandmother for Christmas.

Anyone who visits my blog will know about The Mothership Television we've just had delivered.
The first full film has already been watched and it was....Fellowship of the Ring! All the way through we kept going "Oooooh! Look at that!" because of all the detail and colour (and sound) revealed for the first time.

Well, I don't know where else to put this, but while reading Mr Davem's post in the thread 'Fantasy'...

Last week I had a quite strong experience during the Old Testament studies course, translating the tale of the trial of Abraham (Genesis 22). It was my turn to read the Hebrew text and translate. That's no hard text, so I could translate right from scratch, so I read: "Take your son, the only one of yours, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moria..." And even upon hearing my own words, I felt filled with horror - I mean, when you look at it (or hear it - you may try saying it aloud), doesn't it really sound all too scary?
I just imagined Abraham by the dark pool, carrying some firewood on his back, knocking on the door with the hilt of his dagger and saying "Mellon!", while his poor son keeps looking around in terror...

My goodness, that does sound scary when you say it aloud!

You know you're obsessed with the Lord of the Rings, when you are sitting at luch having a nice little discussion about a play that you are going to see, and somebody from down the hall exclaims "And your soul was stolen by a hobbit.", and you turn the corner and say "What? I wasn't stolen by a hobbit, no I was stolen by Morgoth!" And they didn't have the foggiest notion of what you just said!
Or when you are sitting outside the school waiting to be picked up by your mum, and you start talking to someone that you don't even know, about the internet, then the Barrow-Downs, and then you're having a discussion about Middle-Earth, and LotR! She says "Do you like Lord of the Rings?" then looks at the Ring hanging around my neck, and realises what a silly question that was.
