You know you're obsessed with LOTR when ... - Page 10 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

You watch the MTV movie awards, telling all your friends every detail of the bond between Frodo, Sam, and Gollum, up until the second they win for best team ^.^ yes, I did just do that...hehe

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 06-06-2003, 01:33 PM

When you actually start drooling over Brad Dourif in sunglasses in Mississippi Burning. *whistle*

Salix · 06-06-2003, 02:04 PM

-You actually own "Elven boots" (and people notice!)
-When you write you name in runes on a friends chalkboard the friend can tell that they are runes. (Unfortunately he thought the were 'elvish' and I was writing in the runes mostly used by dwarves. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] )
-You no longer need a cheat sheet to translate runes. (Working on it)
-In your spare time you translate every name, place and word you can think of into runes.
-Your little sister won't let you wear the outfit you made outside of the house. [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Antien · 06-07-2003, 12:37 AM

this happened two minutes ago...

I was holding the cat. Salix said
"Precious! Precious! give me the precious! If you don't give me precious She will hurt you!"

Our cat is a girl, but it still freaked me out...i was thinking of giant spiders. Mmmmm...giant spiders...

oh, and salix, a scrap of green cloth doesn't count as you making a costume, and ALMOST ALL my friends were there. not all of them are LOTR obsessed. And we went to laser tag!

Anyway, now that i might be tall enough, me and a really short friend (coughsillabubcough) are going halloweening as elves. we are already looking for costumes, but they won't be ready nearly on time...i don't know how to use a sewing machine...

You know you are obsessed when you try to set yourself on fire, then remember you forgot your large, spherecle (how do you spell that?!) stone in the house...

i havn't really read what was above, but it's past 12:30 (here), i have to go to bed. but first to the mirror of galadriel (staring into a sink full of water until i'm sure i see something).

As you clean out your horrably dirty car, you find LOTR books galor. Your Strider figurine's sword, your Legolas action figure white knife, and frodo's box.

You buy a all the cool Elvish dresses at the second hand store. Oh wait a second you buy all the Elvish dresses at the second hand store(I am a poor student)!

Your coworkers at your new job think that you are cool, little do they know....... "What is it, My Presssoussssss? Isss it nicesss, My Precousssssss....." And you happen to work in a federal building..... No Actually I listen to the TT soundtrack as I stand at my copier.

Boy, a weekend away ( [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] )really leaves a lot of stuff to catch up on. Good thing I read quickly.

Your best friend isn't speaking to you because she is sick of LotR. (it's not quite that bad yet, but getting scarily close.)

You're already a Wight with 151 posts, and you only found this site at the end of March.

You say Mae Govannen and Namarie or Suilad instead of Hello and Goodbye.

Your best friend, who doesn't like LotR, makes you a Galadriel cape for your birthday, because she knows that you'll love it.

You wear said cape everywhere. And I do mean everywhere.

Shouldn't you be a Shade by now? I joined on the 20th of January, and by the beginning of Lent I'd already written somewhere around 350 posts.

Mind you, the beginning posts were mostly senseless and off-topic. [OT right now: If anyone finds a post like that hanging around, please alert me of the whereabouts of it so I can edit/delete it.]

By the way, does anyone know where I can buy LotR sheet music?

Tinuviel of Denton · 06-11-2003, 12:48 AM

I'm not a Shade because I have to sneak onto BD. Sort of. My family thinks I spend too much time here.

My best friend is speaking to me again. YAY!

Back to topic...

When someone mentions the Keebler Elfs (they are NOT Elves!!!) you go ballistic and give them a lecture on how they are different from real elves and should all be destroyed.

You get really mad when someone calls Gollum a Goblin, when everyone should know that he was a Hobbit-like creature.

You can't not go without mentioning LotR and it's driving everyone you know crazy.

You use [insert Tolkien related name here] as an element in all of your online screenames.

You use examples from Tolkien when you have to come up with something deep and philosophical to tell someone.

You don't know the football/baseball/any sport-at-all scores and you are caught by surprise when you find out that your school won State Championship, yet you can tell down to the day when the RotK comes out. (when you are not sleepy, that is. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

Finwe · 06-11-2003, 10:00 AM

You find that Gil-galad is becoming more of your father than your biological father is.
(I swear, it's true! He's my alter-ego Aredhel's father!)

Your mother has to refuse to drive you home until you take off your black Nazgul cloak after you come out of Driver's Ed.

You speak Quenya and Sindarin so much at home that your parents are trying to learn it just so they can speak to you again.

Hmmm, this one is interesting.
We were playing tennis in PE, and I am terrible. I never hit the ball and it always goes past me. So, as the ball was coming at me, I lay down my racket, held out my hand and yelled "You cannot pass!"
The great thing was I caught the ball, so it really didn't pass!
Then, when I had to serve, I said: Now that it comes to it, I dont feel like parting with it. Its mine...etc.
Then, another time i hadta serve, I held the bal in my hand, put my hand over it, and said: the power of Isengard is at your command, Sauron, Lord of the Earth.
Then, when I hit the ball, I yelled "Die Orc!"
I really need help.

Feared Half-Elf · 06-11-2003, 01:40 PM

You know when you're obsessed when you braid two sections of your hair back elvish-style and wear it to school. All my friends call me elf-girl because I do it so often. there are a few more colourful names too...

When all your friends say the quote you were thinking of because they know exactly which quote you use in every situation as you say them so much.

When you try to make your own One Ring and fail miserably because yourbrother refuses to make the band, even if you pay him vast amounts of cash, so you have to resort to a shop-bought one.

When you replay the Legolas shield-surfing scene over and over again, music and actions included.(even my Legolas-loving friend is getting sick of this one)

When you refuse to take your 'elvish' bracelet off when your teacher tells you to because it's 'against school rules', TOUGH!!!

Feared Half-Elf · 06-12-2003, 12:18 PM

Sort of. It's a grammar school and just about everything is against school rules. I've got a certain teaher that is just iching to tell me to undo my elvish hair every time i see her. There's 101 rules that say you can't do this or wear that, it's soooo annoying. We're very tempted to launch a protest.

Which one did I think of earlier? Oh yes.

You know you're obsessed when you start re-writing the entire TTT and Rotk in a simplified version with another main character! I haven't actually told anyone about this apart from one close friend, it's too sad!

Your mother is threatening to make BD unaccessible except during the hours of six and seven AM so that you will get up in the morning. Now that is scary. Only an hour on BD a day!? Valar save me!

Instead of "what in the world" or "what on earth" you say "What in Middle-Earth"

Your sister, who spends time on BD herself, thinks that you spend too much time here, and will sit there for hours staring at you so that you go to bed at "a reasonable time" [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Sadly, I am very guilty of all of the above.

You know you're obsessed when:

~On the blackboard you write "Frodo Lives!" one day and "Frodo most certainly DOES live!" the next

~All you have to do is look at your other LotR-crazed friend and start bobbing up and down, and she knows you're thinking about the Drinking Song. Seriously, we did this today!

~ You're going on a mission trip and guesss what book was the first to go into you luggage

~ You're leaving for said mission trip VERY early in the morning and guess what you're reading VERY late into the night

~ You've had a stranger walk up to you and ask if you were a ringie only because you looked like one.... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

You name your newest zip disk Annalaliath, and write it in tingwar. YOu have named your old zip disk Lord of the Floppies, and the "brief case" that you instructor has you create for class is named "the breif case carried by the Lord of the Floppies."

All your e-mail correspondence these days is realated to LOTR in some way.

Tolkjien is the first place you go in the library or the bokstore. Even before you go look at Ansil Adems stuff.

You install Alice just to help give you parents the excuse that you are doing something differnt(even if it envolves a very twisted game....) other than LOTR or the BD.

06-13-2003, 01:43 PM

You know you are obsessed with LOTR when:
1. You and your best friend greet each other in Elvish.
2. You have a FOTR day calandar and you have cut out and saved all the pictures.
3. You spend your spare time watching FOTR.
4. You are printing the FOTR and TTT movie scripts off the internet.
5. You stay up late at night reading the ROTK because it's summer and you can.
6. You ARE going to see ROTK @ midnight on December 17th, and they would have to send you home tied up in a sack to stop you.
7. You are making a cloak and a t-shirt to wear to this said premiere.
8. You even think about altering your apperance LOTR-style.
9. You think in LOTR quotes.
10. You beat up Harry Potter kids. (Melkor, Morgoth, Sauron, J.K. Rowling...BLATANT PLAGARISM!!!! Grrr...)

The only way that you can get your baby brother to eat is by singing The Drinking Song (Merry and Pippin's). (I swear it's true! It's the only way he eats!)

The only way you can get your baby brother to go to sleep is by singing "A Elbereth Gilthoniel" and "The Fall of Gil-galad" to him.

Your best friend isn't speaking to you because she is sick of LotR. (it's not quite that bad yet, but getting scarily close.) You're already a Wight with 151 posts, and you only found this site at the end of March. You say Mae Govannen and Namarie or Suilad instead of Hello and Goodbye. Your best friend, who doesn't like LotR, makes you a Galadriel cape for your birthday, because she knows that you'll love it. You wear said cape everywhere. And I do mean everywhere.

My family thinks I spend too much time here. My best friend is speaking to me again. YAY! Back to topic... When someone mentions the Keebler Elfs (they are NOT Elves!!!) you go ballistic and give them a lecture on how they are different from real elves and should all be destroyed. You get really mad when someone calls Gollum a Goblin, when everyone should know that he was a Hobbit-like creature. You can't not go without mentioning LotR and it's driving everyone you know crazy. You use [insert Tolkien related name here] as an element in all of your online screenames. You use examples from Tolkien when you have to come up with something deep and philosophical to tell someone. You don't know the football/baseball/any sport-at-all scores and you are caught by surprise when you find out that your school won State Championship, yet you can tell down to the day when the RotK comes out. (when you are not sleepy, that is. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

(I swear, it's true! He's my alter-ego Aredhel's father!) Your mother has to refuse to drive you home until you take off your black Nazgul cloak after you come out of Driver's Ed. You speak Quenya and Sindarin so much at home that your parents are trying to learn it just so they can speak to you again. __________________ But Melkor also was there, and he came to the house of Fëanor, and there he slew Finwë King of the Noldor before his doors, and spilled the first blood in the Blessed Realm; for Finwë alone had not fled from the horror of the Dark.

I never hit the ball and it always goes past me. So, as the ball was coming at me, I lay down my racket, held out my hand and yelled "You cannot pass!" The great thing was I caught the ball, so it really didn't pass! Then, when I had to serve, I said: Now that it comes to it, I dont feel like parting with it. Its mine...etc. Then, another time i hadta serve, I held the bal in my hand, put my hand over it, and said: the power of Isengard is at your command, Sauron, Lord of the Earth. Then, when I hit the ball, I yelled "Die Orc!" I really need help.

All my friends call me elf-girl because I do it so often. there are a few more colourful names too... When all your friends say the quote you were thinking of because they know exactly which quote you use in every situation as you say them so much. When you try to make your own One Ring and fail miserably because yourbrother refuses to make the band, even if you pay him vast amounts of cash, so you have to resort to a shop-bought one. When you replay the Legolas shield-surfing scene over and over again, music and actions included.(even my Legolas-loving friend is getting sick of this one) When you refuse to take your 'elvish' bracelet off when your teacher tells you to because it's 'against school rules', TOUGH!!!

Feared Half-Elf Wight Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Up a tree. Posts: 213	Sort of. It's a grammar school and just about everything is against school rules. I've got a certain teaher that is just iching to tell me to undo my elvish hair every time i see her. There's 101 rules that say you can't do this or wear that, it's soooo annoying. We're very tempted to launch a protest. Which one did I think of earlier? Oh yes. You know you're obsessed when you start re-writing the entire TTT and Rotk in a simplified version with another main character! I haven't actually told anyone about this apart from one close friend, it's too sad! __________________ "You will find the Holy Grail in Castle Aaaaaaahhhhhh leans sideways" Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Valar save me! Instead of "what in the world" or "what on earth" you say "What in Middle-Earth" Your sister, who spends time on BD herself, thinks that you spend too much time here, and will sit there for hours staring at you so that you go to bed at "a reasonable time" [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Sadly, I am very guilty of all of the above.

Annalaliath Shade of Carn Dûm Join Date: Mar 2003 Location: Albuquerque Posts: 380	You name your newest zip disk Annalaliath, and write it in tingwar. YOu have named your old zip disk Lord of the Floppies, and the "brief case" that you instructor has you create for class is named "the breif case carried by the Lord of the Floppies." All your e-mail correspondence these days is realated to LOTR in some way. Tolkjien is the first place you go in the library or the bokstore. Even before you go look at Ansil Adems stuff. You install Alice just to help give you parents the excuse that you are doing something differnt(even if it envolves a very twisted game....) other than LOTR or the BD. __________________ Bloody Stumps!!!

Dimple Took Guest Posts: n/a	You know you are obsessed with LOTR when: 1. You and your best friend greet each other in Elvish. 2. You have a FOTR day calandar and you have cut out and saved all the pictures. 3. You spend your spare time watching FOTR. 4. You are printing the FOTR and TTT movie scripts off the internet. 5. You stay up late at night reading the ROTK because it's summer and you can. 6. You ARE going to see ROTK @ midnight on December 17th, and they would have to send you home tied up in a sack to stop you. 7. You are making a cloak and a t-shirt to wear to this said premiere. 8. You even think about altering your apperance LOTR-style. 9. You think in LOTR quotes. 10. You beat up Harry Potter kids. (Melkor, Morgoth, Sauron, J.K. Rowling...BLATANT PLAGARISM!!!! Grrr...)

(I swear it's true! It's the only way he eats!) The only way you can get your baby brother to go to sleep is by singing "A Elbereth Gilthoniel" and "The Fall of Gil-galad" to him. __________________ But Melkor also was there, and he came to the house of Fëanor, and there he slew Finwë King of the Noldor before his doors, and spilled the first blood in the Blessed Realm; for Finwë alone had not fled from the horror of the Dark.
