Sharing the Psychosis?

[Mintyztwin]

Yay! I'm not the only insane one here! Sometimes I worry that I'm the only one that lives the books! They are so completely real to me. When I read them, it's like THEY are reality and my life is a dream. And even when I finish (always with tears.) I still walk around in a middle earth fog. I can almost hear the sounds of Elvish singing, and dwarven hammers ringing.
But eventually reality creeps in. And my mum says I am too obsessed with it. But then I read the books again, and everything else fades away. It's like looking at a mirror. (To use a C.S. Lewis expression.) When you catch a glimpse of the outdoors in a mirror, and it seems more vibrant, colorful alive! LotR is like that, I guess. It holds up a mirror to my life, and is more, more, real. In ME you are what you are. You're either good, or bad. Instead of mostly gray. And if you're good you'll fight for the right. It applies real well to life. You must fight for the right, even when all else is lost.

Thanks for listening to my rambling!
