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

Saraphim · 04-07-2004, 11:05 AM

For exra credit in my Chemistry class, we had to make a mole (as in the animal. If you don't know how that relates to chemistry, don't ask, I couldn't explain it.) and we got more points if it was super cool (yes, my teacher actually said 'super cool').

I made Gimli, my best friend made Legolas, and our other friend made Aragorn. We wanted to make the whole Fellowship, but there wasn't time or enough LotR fans.

Here's some more:

~You name your nuerotic cat Turin
~You call your car a Winged Beast and curse it to 'the darkness from whence it came' when it breaks down.
~You purposefully go to movies with LotR actors in them (I can't wait for Troy and Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind !)
~Your Creative Writing teacher is tired of reading about LotR and LotR-related subjects
~You and all your friends have Elvish nicknames which other people actually call you by (mine is Feanen. Some others are Anar and Vana. We got our Chemistry teacher to call us by that)
~You tell people you don't like to 'go back to the Void, spawn of Morgoth'
~You're planning a trip to the U.K just to see The Eagle and the Child.

Yes, I do all of this.

~ Need I say more about "Daro"?

'Edro' works for unjamming stuck doors, lockers, whatever.

Same goes for 'alohamora', but that's not very LotR-ish...

You have come up with the parrells between Star Wars and LOTR.
example: Gandalf = Yoda
Sam = R2-D2 and C-3PO
Boromir = Lando
Gimli = Han Solo
Legolas = Princess Leia
Cave Troll = Jaba the Hut
and so on

When you´re spending too much time on this site, checking the "active topics" every minute to look for some new, interesting discussion

Or when you starts discussing the elven language with your brother, trying to find out what a word or name is in english (or in my case swedish)

*Legolas = Princess Leia* Roflmao!!!

*Sam = R2-D2 and C3-PO* Actually, I always thought of Merry and Pippen in those roles...

You know you're obsessed with LotR when..

~You discover that the middle name of one of the poets in the "Fireside Poets" unit in your American Literature class is "Greenleaf," and proceed to point this out to everyone saying, "Look, look, his name's Greenleaf! You know, like Legolas from LotR? What, don't you remember?!"

~Anytime a teacher assigns an open topic report, you choose something that has to do with LotR

~When your teacher decides to assign a short story/poem reading, you pick a poem from LotR ("The Lament of the Winds," to be precise.)

~When you think everything is related to LotR. When I make a PotC or HP reference, I think: ''Woah, LotR-reference!!! Wait a sec...
