You know you're obsessed with LOTR when ... - Page 12 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Feared Half-Elf · 06-20-2003, 10:40 AM

elen sila lumen omentilvo, Maikadurwen, and welcome to the downs!

Yet another lame one!

You know your obssessed when you keep muttering songs in elvish, with the melodys that you made up! (I've had some very strange looks from strangers in the street. Who blames them?)

When you write elvish insults to your teacher on the board in the mornng!

Tinuviel of Denton · 06-20-2003, 06:22 PM

To get rid of an annoying five-year-old, you:

Imitate Gollum, asking, "Does it have it? Where is it? We wantsss it! Give it to usss! Give usss our Preciousssss!" while frisking him.

Start shouting at him in Elvish, calling him orc, troll, and a few other things best left unnamed.

Freak him out with your monologue about how he distinctly resembles Gollum and should watch out for short, fat, fifty-year-olds with hairy feet and magic rings.

Poor child...

Well, I'm developing a line of clothing inspired by ME for everyday wear. Does that count?

Fingolfin II · 06-29-2004, 12:36 AM

- you do better in a test than the 'favourite' of the teacher and say, 'Do you wish then that our places had been exchanged- that I had failed and he had passed?'

- you see a parakeet in a store and become overwhelm with desire to call it Feanor (weird, I know, don't ask me why).

Elennar Starfire · 06-30-2004, 07:22 PM

TTT thief...interesting theory. But for me it was the TTT mangler, in the form of my younger sister...I recently gave it a new duct tape cover, and put the pages that fell out in their proper places.

airetari · 08-09-2004, 05:01 PM

the day i got my rotk dvd i watched it immediately after i got home, acting everything out and reciting the lines. when it got to the part where eowyn fights the witch king i took my cheesy fake wannabe eowyn sword and said" I am no man! AAAAA!" and stabbed my sword right thru the wall. my parents got pretty mad at me but i just laughed. im destroying my house for the sake of lotr... how sad.

other things ive been known to do-
-when you eat lunch you call it your "second breakfast" (pronounced w/ a scottish accent) or you purposely make a second breakfast so you can call it such.
-you pass notes to kids in class in elvish and then when they ask you what the heck you're doing you just laugh evily
-on halloween you dress up as an elf and ask for your candy in elvish
-your parents get a new car and you say "may these horses serve you to better fortune than their last masters"
-someone asks you for directions and you say "buckleberry ferry- follow me"
-your only nightmares are about nazgul and orcs
-you call your dog huan
- you want to move to new zealand and build your house to look like lanthir lamath
im so glad that there are other people out there. im not alone!

Elennar Starfire · 08-09-2004, 07:43 PM

What was your sword made out of? What are your walls made out of? I don't think I could stab my real sword (dirk actually, but ye know, it's pointy and made of metal...perfect size for a hobbit sword...) through my walls...not that I'm going to try...

Sandro · 08-09-2004, 10:11 PM

I really want to build a nice little (or big) cottage on Mount Sunday in New Zealand. I'll ride throughout the country on my trusty steed crying "The Uruk-Hai are coming! The Uruk-Hai are coming!" And then get arrested.

yavanna II · 08-10-2004, 05:35 AM

1. Write in Quenya all you wanna write on ur kodigo.
2. Put it on ur desk, use the alibi "it's a design"
3. Make sure u memorized em all
4. Have fun cheating!!!!

NOTE

IF you have a teacher who can read Quenya it's not advisable. In my school I swear I'm the only one who can distinguish Tolkien from Rowling..... so I can do this technique....

Yavanna, you do this? I'm shocked!

...When you read "token" as "Tolkein" in the middle of class and you don't notice. My friends told me later.

Elennar Starfire · 08-10-2004, 11:16 AM

I was so surprised when my Math teacher saw me writing in Tengwar and knew what it was...Don't think he could read it though...hope not, it was rather personal...

10-18-2004, 07:00 PM

you know you're obsessed w/LOTR when....
1)you're riding your bike you pretend it's a horse and say things like "let us ride" and you pretend you're Aragorn.
2)when you and your friends act out scenes from LOTR
3)when you and your friends plan out finding "Aragorn" and pretending LOTR is real and start acting it out!!!!
That's all I could come up with.

Iaurhirwen · 10-18-2004, 07:22 PM

My friends and I were discussing the other day which movie would be shown during the special free day for the students that did well on one of the standardized tests we had to take. We mentioned that whatever movie shown could not have any curse words in it. I mentioned that we should watch LOTR, of course. My one friend said "But wait, we don't know if there are any curse words in it (referring to the Elvish that is not translated). Wait, you do." This is not even one of my good friends, just a "homeroom friend" and they knew of the obsession. Ahh, life is good.

Unfortunately, we ended up watching the Disney movie Miracle, about the 1980s US hockey team who ended up winning gold at the Olympics. Not a bad movie, but I would have preferred LOTR.

Farmira · 10-20-2004, 12:51 PM

You know your obsessed with LOTR when...
- Your friends ask you what music you listen to and all you have in your cd case is the soundtracks...
- You find yourself trying to preform elvish tricks like walking over a creek on a rope... ( i advise not to try

)
- You pretend like every sandwhich you eat is lambas
- You secretly hope elves live in your backyard
- you go to the ocean and you look for white shores and an endless horizon
- you argue with your english teacher that valinor and avalion are not the same place...

- You listen to rocks hoping to hear the marching of uruk-hai

... what else is there in life than lord of the rings??

Witch_Queen · 10-20-2004, 01:45 PM

Farmira, I loved the last one. Never have thought of that.

Believe it or not there is a place not to far from my home that is called Rivendel. I have convinced a friend that we are going to go there and search for some elves. Unfortunately someone the other day broke the news to me that this "Rivendel" is a place for those who are depressed, obsessed, "crazy"... Hmmm wonder if they will take me? Oh well off to Rivendel. Hey I made a rhyme....

I'm not obsessed, its a past time hobbit.

Nimrodel_9 · 10-20-2004, 04:00 PM

You know you`re obsessed with LotR when:

My most looked-forward-to-days this month are:

When my LotR blanket I ordered from a catalog is delivered

and
Halloween, when I get to wear my Frodo costume to my new school.

I`ve been in my new school for about 2 months, and am now known as the crazy/hyper-active/smart/Lord-of-the-Rings-Obsessed girl.
The last title is my favorite. I got it from my locker, my books, my t-shirts, speaking elvish and lines from the movies/books, speaking in my Gollum voice, ect.

You send your friends e-mails that say things like (and I quote):

Im just mentally wrestling with some possibilities out of the Osanwe-Kenta, which is like, right out on the farthest reaches of Tolkienism!

You know who you are!!!

01-10-2005, 09:46 PM

I know that I'm obsessed with LOTR because my friend and I used to passs notes at school written in runes and spend every moment talking as if the characters were sitting right there with us....not as bad as some but pretty. OH yeah, this winter when it snowed really bad at home I felt like an elf because I walked on top of the snow(due to the fact that there was only about 2 inches of snow and the rest was ice!).

Nuindacilien · 01-10-2005, 10:29 PM

I used to write in the dwarvish runes all the time.

I actually didn't do it right because I only used the first twenty-six to substitute for all the letters of the alphabet.

I've forgotten most of them, though. I used to write all the charatcters and the actors' names in the runes when I was bored. Which was pretty often. And I can quote a lot of the lines from the movies. It's all my dad's fault, really. He bought me The Hobbit a few years ago for Christmas, and I've been hooked ever since!

~Nuinda

p.s. Catherline, I love your Avatar!

elfearz1 · 01-10-2005, 11:24 PM

when you get into a discussion with your teacher in the middle of class about Lotr trivia pursuit.

Holbytlass · 01-11-2005, 12:33 AM

....you want to form your children's young impressionable minds to everything LOTR. For instance, mine were scared of lightning/thunder. I told them not to be afraid, it was the stone-giants (from 'The Hobbit') hurling thier rocks down the mountains. My eldest was miffed when she learned about the real weather, so I told her that it was a myth. A tale to explain something scary.
....you keep having children so you can have a big hobbit family. I'm up to 4!!
....you are happy that your husbands method of hunting is with a bow, and he isn't into LOTR.

THE Ka · 01-11-2005, 12:42 AM

You make a flash music movie/video with Legolas, Galadriel, Elrond, Fidwit, and a whole elvish choir...singing the ORIGINAL SCORE of "I feel Pretty" from West Side Story...

Okay, my friend and I were really bored... Plus it was funny when the video's test drive was stuck on that creepy galadriel picture were she's "glowing". Besides that, Legolas was great for the acrobatic scene shots...

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-05-2005, 10:03 AM

You start titling all your school essays or reports in a Silmarillion faction. Like so;

"Of Shakespeare and Richard II"

The Perky Ent · 09-05-2005, 10:11 AM

...You start chanting 'Grond!' in your sleep

Lalwendë · 09-05-2005, 01:46 PM

...you're disruptive on trains. I got one of those 'Balrog Battle Gandalf' action figures the other day and it has a sound function, a very LOUD sound function. So I'm sitting in the quiet coach at Doncaster station and what do I do but set the thing off?

"You shall not pass!" , complete with echo, bellows down the carriage and a few minutes later the guard comes along reminding everyone to be quiet.

Lily Bombadil · 09-05-2005, 02:45 PM

*When asked what you're going to do when you grow up, you say confidently, "Destroy the wicked Ring of Power and save Middle-Earth!"

*You tell your mother you're going to marry Gil-Galad after college

*You yell "Fool of a Took" at your stupid friend when his last name is really Johnson

Alas. No one wants to marry an ent. If only I hadn't forgotten where I hid the entwives after our last org-....organized meeting. Oh well. I guess mixed breeding was inevitable. Come here, Arwen!

Celebuial · 10-24-2005, 07:00 AM

MaultheStoor · 03-12-2008, 07:11 AM

Okay, after this we'll leave you alone. I had a Clay picture of Frodo, Sam, and Gollum on Mount Doom. Unfortunatly, I also had the Eye. My mom accused me of being a wich and screamed until I took it down...

Groin Redbeard · 04-11-2008, 12:32 PM

When you start thinking of the Shire while singing John Denver's song: Country Roads.

Mithalwen · 04-11-2008, 01:39 PM

When you seldom leave the house without a copy of LOTR and at least one other item from the oevre: currently in my "overflow handbag" I have LOTR, unfinished tales and half the radio series cassettes. And that is being restrained.

OH yeah, this winter when it snowed really bad at home I felt like an elf because I walked on top of the snow(due to the fact that there was only about 2 inches of snow and the rest was ice!).

I actually didn't do it right because I only used the first twenty-six to substitute for all the letters of the alphabet. I've forgotten most of them, though. I used to write all the charatcters and the actors' names in the runes when I was bored. Which was pretty often. And I can quote a lot of the lines from the movies. It's all my dad's fault, really. He bought me The Hobbit a few years ago for Christmas, and I've been hooked ever since! ~Nuinda p.s.

For instance, mine were scared of lightning/thunder. I told them not to be afraid, it was the stone-giants (from 'The Hobbit') hurling thier rocks down the mountains. My eldest was miffed when she learned about the real weather, so I told her that it was a myth. A tale to explain something scary. ....you keep having children so you can have a big hobbit family. I'm up to 4!! ....you are happy that your husbands method of hunting is with a bow, and he isn't into LOTR. __________________ Holby is an actual flesh-and-blood person, right?

You make a flash music movie/video with Legolas, Galadriel, Elrond, Fidwit, and a whole elvish choir...singing the ORIGINAL SCORE of "I feel Pretty" from West Side Story... Okay, my friend and I were really bored... Plus it was funny when the video's test drive was stuck on that creepy galadriel picture were she's "glowing". Besides that, Legolas was great for the acrobatic scene shots... ~Broadway Ka~ __________________ Vinur, vinur skilur tú meg? Veitst tú ongan loyniveg?

I got one of those 'Balrog Battle Gandalf' action figures the other day and it has a sound function, a very LOUD sound function. So I'm sitting in the quiet coach at Doncaster station and what do I do but set the thing off? "You shall not pass!" , complete with echo, bellows down the carriage and a few minutes later the guard comes along reminding everyone to be quiet. __________________ Gordon's alive!

If only I hadn't forgotten where I hid the entwives after our last org-....organized meeting. Oh well. I guess mixed breeding was inevitable.
