Well, I have a deeper love of nature and history now. I used to overlook both of those, but now... Whenever I see an area of trees getting torn down for new subdivisions I get really sad and think of what this earth used to look like. I sometime scoff at modern technology and wish I could go live in the trees of Lothlorien. I am sadden when I realize how much history and how many cultures have been lost over the passing years... It's true, I am just more aware and in tune now because of Middle Earth.
As for other things... I do find myself reciting the lines quite frequently, and a lot of the time on accident. The other day at work (where I wear many layers of clothing) a child asked me, "Do those clothes make you hot," and I reply, "It's quite cool." Then there was the time when my friend and I were cracking up after my mom yells at a bird in the road, "Fly you fool!"
