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

When I`m in English, my teacher will sometimes give us a word, and we have to put it in a sentence. All of my sentences end up being LotR related.

~You look to LotR for the solutions to all your problems.

What I do- I randomly choose which book I'm going to use, then close my eyes and open it at random, open my eyes, and read the first bit I see. I did this two days ago when something had happened to make me very depressed, and it opened to Sam saying "don't despair". See, it works!

I`ve done that before, Elennar! By the way I love your sig!

When you write on your hand in Dwarven runes and, confuse everybody.
When you write trees on your hand, and confuse everybody.

I've tried that a couple of times. Sometimes it have helped me, somtimes not.

When you use LotR to aid in playing the game Taboo.

For those not familiar with the game, the idea is to get your teammates to say the word written on the card, by giving them hints without using certain words which are also on the card. Very tricksy sometimes.

So, I was playing this game the other day and the word I had to guess was "fool." My boyfriend gave me the clue "Blank of a Took" and needless to say I got it right away.

We still lost.

When you come to work in a blazer, and realise it's the first time in about six months--well, no, really longer than that-- that you haven't dressed as either an elf or a hobbit; and then you find yourself thinking, "Frodo would have enjoyed a blazer like this if he had had the chance to buy one. Really, he'd look nice in it."

Then you look in the mirror, and belatedly realise that the elvish blue-and-white shell-necklace you are wearing clashes rather badly with Rae's Lorien leaf that is *still* hanging on the same chain as your cross, and you realise it has been there ever since you want to the LOTR exhibit... **a week ago**.
