I bought a siver chain & placed my gold ring, then pretended to be Frodo once....

Like you're alone on that one! My also-LotR-obsessed friend Anna and I once acted out the movie scene where Boromir picks the Ring up off the snow, you know, "It is a strange fate..." etc. I was Boromir, and she was Aragorn, and we made this poor confused completely normal girl in our class be Frodo. I think she thought we were insane.

And whenever it snows and we go out for lunch (our high school has open campus lunch periods! yay!) we play its Caradhras. We sing the Caradhras music too, and yell "Nai yarvaxea rasselya toltuva notto carinnar!" (Saruman's spell) in the hopes of causing an avalanche. And when it's foggy, naturally we play Fanrogn Forest.

I guess you never really stop playing "let's pretend"...

Really? I would have thought the Barrow Downs would be a much saner choice.

Oh, sure!

I've recently taken up archery, so sometimes I pretend that my cardboard targets are mean nasty orcses that are sneaking up on me. Then if I miss I can pretend that they dodged the arrow, and that I'm not a horrible shot.

Oh yeah, my bow is green so I named it Galencu. When I'm using it, I'm Galencuiel. Not really creative, but my knowledge of Elvish is limited.

Now that I consider it, perhaps you're right. Whatever was I thinking?

When I see a tree with silvery bark and leaves I decide to myself that it's distant kin of Telperion. Logically.

Speaking of trees, I often see ones that look entish and will say to my younger Brother, "Look, a Huorn!"
Or, say "A-lalla-lalla-rumba-kamanda-lindor-burúmë" If that correct, its the first part of "Hill" in entish, although I receive very strange looks!
