You know when you have Tolkein Fever when:

You dress up as various species (orc, elf, hobbit etc) whenever possible

You wear your hair in an elf style NON STOP and get nicknamed elfgirl or Legolas (Matt, if you are out there I am a girl, I do not have blond hair, and I am definately not graceful!)

You learn Elven languages and speak only elvish to everyone.

You get taken to the doctors when your parents are worried about your sanity and the way you have obtained a sword and insist on challanging EVERYONE.

You answer only to your elven or hobbit name, not to your real name.

You learn Enya's May it be, the song in "The Breaking of The Fellowship" and the words in "The council of Elrond" and sing them at the top of your voice as you walk, as gracefully as possible, down the street (without having too much to drink).

You spend every waking minute (and several sleeping ones)posting messages here, and in every other Tolkein forum, and surfing looking for more Tolkein related sites.

You get LOTR ringtones, screensaver, desktop, icons, t-shirts, bags, books, pencils, erasers, etc. and parade them around at school/work

You listen nonstop to the soundtrack and other, pre-film, songs relating to Middle Earth.

You try and work out which of the people you know are a) hobbits b)elves c)men and for the people you don't like d)orcs.

You count down the days till the next film.

Your birthday/Christmas/Easter list consists of: The one ring
LOTR photobook
LOTR insider's guide
LOTR etc etc etc

You see the film every day and twice at weekends and holidays. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
