I got a big kick out of these (guilty):
Quote:
Things that you scoffed at owning or collecting just a year ago are slowly starting to accumulate on your shelves... "Bookmarks? Bookends? What would I want those for?" (blush) You have more maps and illustrations printed out than you have room for on your office walls You experiment with Lembas recipes looking for results that will really travel and keep well You walk around your neighborhood wondering whether Frodo would enjoy it here You wonder where Frodo would want to go hiking in your town if he did visit You take up archery because it's elvish You buy only jewelry that looks elvish Anytime you walk into a store you only buy clothes that you think a hobbit or elf would wear Your shopping buddy says, "I know, I know-- not elvish enough. But how about this? Isn't THIS elvish enough??" You buy corderoy jackets and vests because they're almost like Frodo's velvet ones-- and you wear them to work with Capri leggings, sandals, and of course a ring on a necklace-- at least once a week You start carrying apples in your (corderoy) jacket pockets because Merry would too You start thinking of your Poland Springs water bottle as essential for travel through Mordor You start collecting various editions of the trilogy for the cover art Your best friend went to FOTR three times with you even though "the monsters were scary" because she knew that was all you really wanted to see You've written enough fanfiction that people can't keep your various hobbits straight Your spouse asks "What are you thinking?" and then when he sees your mischievous smile he says "Oh-- that. Nevermind." Your spouse looks searchingly into your eyes and asks, "Can't we-- please-- talk about something else?"
