During a get-to-know-you game in which you have to tell two truths and a lie about yourself, and everyone else has to guess which is the lie, you say as a truth that you can speak elvish, because you know that they'll ask you to speak some, and you want to show off your obsession. I told them to 'bado orch echado meleth.' (go kiss an orc) I did not translate it for them.

I did that too! Except, unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to speak any elvish. Although I did get asked whether there were any swear words in elvish [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]!
Sorry that you didn't get to see Elijah and Sean, guy [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] .

To get back on topic, here are some of my own:
~When you can recite all the dialog along with the trailer and watched it 4 times yesterday, causing your homework to be neglected.

~When you meet an old friend at fencing and imediately ask her what she thinks of LotR. She tells you that she thinks it's boring, but that she is a HP fanatic [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] . You suddenly find that you don't really have anything to talk with her about

~When you have nearly convinced your parents to let you go to the showing of all of LotR, despite the fact that it's a school night and they thionk you'll get deep vein thrombosis from sitting down for 9 hours straight. You will be happy to stay up late on a school night- LotR is way more educational than school, anyway!

LotR is way more educational than school, anyway!

Indeed.

In my theatre class, we have to read books out loud to practice voice stuff. (I can't remember the fancy name for it) Technically we're supposed to read a small book, (It's only supposed to take 3-5 minutes, but that's why I'm just reading the first bit of the book) but I decided to do The Hobbit, because it is a children's book. But then I saw Roverandom at the school library, checked it out, and decided to read the first part of that instead. Roverandom is a nice story! So, maybe not quite as obsessive as it could be, but still, it's Tolkien!

I think, 'Ai Eru' all the time! And reciting A Elbereth Gilthoniel is a good way to relax when you want to hurt some idiot badly.

Welcome to the 'downs, Mr. Bilbo Baggins Esq!!! Mae govannen, and enjoy thy death!

My best friend keeps calling him that! I paitently (or not so paitently) tell her that Aragon is a region of Spain and that Aragorn is the guy in LotR. She thinks he's hot, but she can't even get his name right! Although I suppose it's better than "that hot guy with long hair"

Ever read the first Time article about the LotR movie? They said "Prince Aragon"! Why, the nerve of those uneducated...

Anyway, here is my addition:

You know you're obsessed with LotR when you convinve yourself that elves do exist, to the point that you think MI5 might be hiding them all in a warehouse or something. You plan to join MI5(after you graduate, that is) just to see them...

When one of your long term goals in life is to read LotR once a year.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


My oh my..that's MY goal as well!!! Scary!

Yes, me too, and so far I'm doing well.... This year will be my fifth reading.

My friend got annoyed with me for learning Elvish because, "No one actually speaks it!" So I started learning Gaelic, because Elvish is based on Gaelic. (I'm still working on Elvish though.)

Lucky! I want to learn Gaelic!

Yeah, a lot of people seem to think that. Personally I think England, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand are much better. America really isn't as great as most people seem to think. (Not that I hate it or anything, I just like other places better.)

Very true. And I live in America! I feel so treacherous! Hahaha, treachery is fun! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

guy who be short - Great idea about the blue and yellow braces!

Good color coordination, but for anyone else who was thinking to try this, I would warn against it. Yellow starts looking brown by the end of the month- not very nice.

Today for social studies class, we had to come up with four qualities that we think the ideal person would possess. So naturally, I took a mixture of all the characters we know and love: loyalty for Sam; determination for Aragorn, and so on.

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

And can you believe that some people think I'm weird for wanting to live in England? (Or Ireland, or Australia, or...I won't annoy you with a list of all the places I want to go. It's a very long list.)

Or Scotland, or the Czech Republic, or....

Btw, sorry for quoting myself.

Not at all. I should try that sometime...

- You constantly look on eBay to see if any of the cast members of LotR are on sale. (Hey, you never know! They could need some extra cash!)

- When you've written about 100+ poems, fan fics, and ficlets somehow involving Middle-earth or Middle-earthian names.

- When your English teacher lets you help plan your school's Renaissance Festival just because you have so many great ideas to make it more LotR-themed.
