I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Used to think that I was geeky; then I went to a Star Trek convention

.

Much has been written regarding the attraction of Tolkien's works. Finding someone else who enjoys the same thing just adds that human connection, which we all need and may want.

And, having visited Graceland (the house of Elvis Presley), I've realized that we all have 'something;' ours is just LotR. It's probably due to some gene.

Extreme Trekkies are scary. I know a couple who met at a convention whilst dressed as Klingons and then they got married in full costume...I say "know", it's more "knew" because on the Millennium they were so scared they shut themselves in their cellar with supplies and nobody has seen them since.

Still, I'm the only Hobbit from Gallifrey so I haven't got room to talk, have I?
