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

When you start laughing at a The Hobbit meme in class so hard that the teacher comes over and yels at you for not typing your Lizzie Borden paper. (Just so you know, it was Thorin hugging Bilbo and saying "I thought I would actually keep my New Year's resolution this year... Never have I been so wrong!")

Yes, a double-post.

When you put the Return of the King soundtrack on your mp3 player. (yes, not iPod)

Your five year old sits there and in a Dalek voice says: "Hello, my name is Gollum!" and then: "Lord of the Rings is great!"

And when he has woken you up at 2am after a bad dream, he gets in your bed and at quarter to three in the morning starts singing "They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard".

When to both impress and confuse your FaceBook friends, you use what little Quenya (language) and Tengwar (font) knowledge to post 'Merry Christmas' and 'Happy New Year' images on those days.

Of course, some will (in a good-natured way) accuse you of being a 'nerd'

The only mistake I made was assuming that they would ask me what the words actually *meant*, but none did

I'm not sure if this is a sign of obsession or rather just being pathetic and/or inventive, but...

Flatmate and I want to watch some Richard Armitage in black leather. We sit down on a mattress on the floor, but alas we need something to support the laptop with.
"I usually take random books from the shelf," flatmate says, "but it's one hell of a job to figure out how to get the piles even." She proceeds to rummage in my room, and comes soon back carrying some of my HoME copies. "So this time we'll have two identical piles!"

When you mistype Guantánamo as Guantanámo, just because -námo sounds more familiar.

When you somehow manage to work LOTR into a discussion about Loki's daddy issues and Mjolnir.... still not quite sure how I pulled that off...
