Wow, this topic made it to 3 pages. I'm surprised. Usually, my topics don't make it past 20 or so posts. Huh.

It's not exactly obsessive, but I enjoy listening to the Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack a great deal. I have probably heard each track five times, and I'm really impressed with Howard Shore's ability to translate the ancient and profound feeling conveyed in the book to music. Enya's songs are also excellent.

Your babysitting story reminded me of when I used to babysit at a hotel. The families were often foreign. To one such baby (she was very sweet) I sang 'A Elbereth Gilthoniel' for a lullaby.

One of my friends think Gollum's voice is really creepy (dunno why, she hasn't seen the movie, or read the book..), so each time I meet her, I creep uo behind her and whisper "It's mine.. My own.. My precious.. in my best Gollum voice.. Some people think I'm a little obsessed when they look at the collection of posters on my walls... Gandalf, Frodo, orcs, from the movie, not from the movie... And I once tried reading LOTR in my maths class. FOTR TTT and ROTK in one book of course... Somehow my teacher spotted it.. But the coolest thing is, he let me read it!

i do a lot of obsessive things. Like just a couple of minutes ago, my mom started screaming. So I went to see what it was, and it was this huge spider. So i grabbed a shoe, and yelled "die! spawn of ungoliant!!!" than my mom was more afraid of me than she was of the spider.

Someone has recently borrowed my LOTR DVD and I went knocking at their door a day later demanding it back. That's obsessive, no? LoL

I have Elves in my locker. Ok, just pictures of them, but adequate enough to disturb my friends. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
I also say that Haldir and his brothers live in my closet and that their favorite food is pizza. Scares the *&^# out of people. Hee, hee. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Hey, I can dream, can't I? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Haldir lives in your closet? Isn't that odd, because Legolas lives in my closet, but his favorite foods are canned peaches and iced tea.

I watch the dvd now and read the books A LOT. This sounds wierd but sometimes, a question about it will just pop into my head when im like, sleeping, or at karate, or playing guitar and I wont be able to think of anything else until I figure it out. Ummm...what else...Oh! I have a bad habit of playing guitar really loud when someone is trying to watch something, and I know theyre watching tv but...I just keep playing. Hehehehe. I'm sure I do other things alot, but you would have to ask my best friend hannah about that.... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The obsessive things I do are - write fan fiction. Constantly want to watch the movie and use quotes! I TRY to behave, I really do. I don't want to drive my family crazy! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

I drive my friends and family crazy too! Yep, not many people around where I live like LOTR, so at the mention of it, they either fall asleep or run out of the room screaming 'NOT LOTR! PLEASE NOT LOTR'! So yes, as a LOTR fan, I have it tough. LoL!

Okay, I know this is not exactly obsessive, but Sunday when I rented LotR again, my brother watched part of the movie with me, and he was not very nice! He called Legolas the "bow and arrow guy with the pigtails", and for some reason, he renamed Frodo "Frank". When he was stabbed by the Nazgûl at Weathertop, he said, "Why is he crying like a little baby?" And during the scene right after Arwen set the water on the Nazgûl and Frodo was being healed, my brother shouted, "Fraaaaaaaaank! Why? WHY?!" I know he's just doing it to annoy me, but it worked! After a while, I just ignored him, cuz some of the things he said were kinda funny, but still!

I do a great Gollum impression while holding my cheap 9 dollar One Ring. I watch the movie (or good battle scenes) whenever. I've read tLotR 34 times, Hobbit 5 times, Unfinished Tales 3 times, Silmarillion 8 times, and the first five in the HoME once each.

Okay.*giggles in an embarassed manner*
Last winter,after my friend and I had just seen FotR for the,I believe,second time,we were alone in her big farm house.It was snowy outside.I snuck upstairs and grabbed an old broom handle,tied an afghan around my neck,and declared myself an elf.I chased her around as she objected to my childishness.But then she followed suit,and insisted we have elven brooches (which were actually old pieces of costume jewelry,but you see where I'm going.).We ran all over the place,outside and all through the house in this fashion,and beat the daylights out of a cave troll.Actually,it was a giant stuffed tiger her mom got for Christmas,but that's beside the point.We decided it was a success,though she won't admit it ever happened now.I can't blame her.We are 20 years old.

My friends and family are about to dump me out in the street or something. All I talk about is Tolkien. It is totally obsessive. I read the books about every three weeks just to learn more of ME. At school, one of my friends said she would slap me if I said one more thing about LOTR. But, sadly, I couldn't stop. It's a habit. And now, suddenly, I have decided to become Skitsophrenic (sp?) and become like Gollum. Probably not, but I do tend to say, "My Precious!!!" a whole lot lately. LOTR isn't cool at my school, and everyone thinks I'm a freak or something because I sit around and read 1000 page books all day. I don't, just LOTR. But I don't really care what they think. I'm obsessed. I admit it. And I don't really care. If I'm going to get obsessed about something, at least it's something cool like this. Right? Right. Anyway, I think I made my point across.

Let's see, as soon as I got the soundtrack, Ilistened to it practically non-stop,but sometimes my family got mad at me so I put on Matrix soundtrack, I'm on barrowdowns whenever I can, I refuse to buy half the merchandise because it's not real, I want a sword and a bow and arrows, I refuse to let my mom finish a cloak because it's like a short elven cloak, my little sister got mad at me because we had agreed that she'd buy sims vacation(don't ask) and I'd buy LOTR, but I'm watching LOTR too much so she cant watch, I'm compliling a script of FOTR and I'm trying to get it perfect, I quote the movie and book all the time, I actually own elven boots, when I wore this jacket I have with a certain pair of pants, and those boots a friend actually called me an elf, and I have a set of Sherlock Holmes books that are dark green (there's two of them) and that same friend told me that they looked like elven books, and the only reason I haven't read Unfinished tales or HoME or LT is:
A. Because my parents refuse to buy any Tolkien books edited by Christopher Tolkien. B. My school library (which is the third largest library in my city) doesn't carry them, and C. I spent all my money buying FoTR and I haven't gotten my allowance yet. I would LOVE a golden ring to string around my neck (I even have the perfect necklace) but I don't know where to get them! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Anyway, I also have worn out a three book set of LoTR as in FOTR has the first 42 pages falling out, the entire bit between Lothlorien and Parth Galen and the cover is taped back on, TTT has the cover almost ripped off, the first 4 pages are falling out, and Helm's Deep is falling out, and RoTK has the entire front of the book torn off (as in up to Minas Tirith), the entire last three appendixes no longer share the same binding, and the box that holds them is ripped. My newer copy of FOTR has the binding bent in many places, some of the coloring one the letters is gone along with along the binding, the very first page is ripped, I inscribed my name in dwarf runes in the front, my book automatically opens to the beginning of the chapter The Bridge Of Khazad-Dum, and I usually have my little dwarf rune cheat sheet there. I think i should stop babbling on now. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

A better question would be what HAVEN'T I done that's obssessive? I wear a ring on a chain around my neck at all times (even when I sleep), I run around barefoot all the time, I'm planning on going to New Zealand for foreign exchange (just because it's like "going to ME"), and I am constantly quoting and referencing LotR.

I recite lines from the movie, not on purpose it just happens. On time I was walking up the stairs and I was like "It is not the eastern shore that worries me, a shadow and a threat has been growing in my mind...Something draws near, I can feel it.
