Haha, that actually reminds me of me and my dear sister Greenie and a friend of mine playing Elves when we were small. There was a crow and I shouted "Crebain!" and hid and my friend thought I really was afraid of the crow.

4. Watch Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and think.. "Are these guy's the same Dwarves that got the seven rings?"

That is too bad.

Anyway, welcome to the 'Downs, Babidi Buu.

To add one sign of addiction, I think it fits that you almost accidentally quote LotR and then you are disappointed that your sister doesn't continue with the next line...

Has anyone mentioned this yet?:

When you pick up anything that resembles a stick you pretend your aragorn.

[Legolas1]

I have another!

when you have slightly too long, slightly too pointed ears like me and you go around telling everyone your an elf!

I do that all the time!!!

[Lindale]

you tend to see Elves everywhere. and fall in love with them, at some extent.

When you get sent pictures by a proud new grandmother and have to resist focusing overexcitedly on the child's perfect tiny and pointy ears

And wishing the small girl on the bus named Arwen would emulate her namesake and sit quietly...

(are there really parents who name their kids after LotR characters? if so, I haven't met them, nor have I met a child named after a book character. well...not in this country where spanish names are often used.)

Clearly yes... but some are more conspicuous than others - I remember there was a cheer leader called Eowyn at the Moomba parade in Melbourne I went to and Terry Pratchett met a Galadriel and asked her if she were born in a Welsh hippy commune. However because Sindarin is derived from Welsh many lower profile Elvish names could pass for Welsh names.
