You know you're obsessed with LOTR when ...

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Take me! Take me! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Orominuialwen]

When the local Borders (a bookstore) is moving, your mom goes and buys the giant 3D cardboard cutout that looks like the cover of the FotR video for you and your brother.(YES, this is true! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])

When you tell everyone you know who has read LotR that they NEED to read the Silmarillion.
More later-gotta go.

I'll go with you, elfearz!

Luthien: Take me! Take me!

Can I come too? (Warning: I may attempt harm on anyone who gets between me and the poster!)

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

I believe we shall all have to take turns. Shall we go oldest first, or quickest first? I'll most likely be last either way. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] (Hint: Yes, I do intend to quote a certain conversation about hobbit baths). [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[Finwe]

Smooth, real smooth Luthie! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

When your mom starts drooling over the Aragorn RotK poster too. (Be afraid, be very afraid.)

When you buy a cheap $ 24.95 sword in Mexico, with two back-to-back eagle heads on the pommel, and name it Soronnaro, and practice killing Orcs with it in your room. (Guilty!)

[Orominuialwen]

When you dance for joy because:
Someone said your little brother looks like Frodo
Your friend said the way you did your hair makes you look elvish
There's a place near the city where you live that sells and makes swords [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] and your mom says she'll take you there [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
you find out there's a fencing club in your school [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
------------------------------------------------------------------
When you dress up as Arwen for Halloween and go trick-or-treating with your brother (Frodo), even though people say you're too old to do such things

When yu us eyour elvish name as an e-mail address even though most people have major trouble spelling it , let alone pronouncing it. :

[Tinuviel of Denton]

Hey, Oromin, glad to see that I'm not the only one who has an impossible to pronounce email address. (at least these silly mortals seem to think so. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )

When you never say 'thank you' in English (or whatever your national language happens to be) and nobody has to ask you what 'hanon le' means anymore.

When you introduce yourself by your elvish name, even though you haven't legally changed it yet.

[Orominuialwen]

When you "see" BDers more than your other friends. Maybe this should go in the addicted to BD thread. Oh well.

[Elennar Starfire]

you find out there's a fencing club in your school

Oh! I'm sooooo jealous!

No one can pronounce my elvish name properly either, I get called "pickley".
(My name translated into elvish is Poicalë)

When you get a blister on your finger from writing the lay of Leithian, because you don't have your own copy of HoME and the library copy has to be taken back in three weeks.

[Amarantha_Daisy]

My name translated into elvish is Poicalë

Hey Elennar, how *do* you pronounce that? Just curious...My Elvish isn't that great... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

-You've ridden a stuffed horse down the staircase while shouting "Noro lim, Asfaloth! Noro lim!" *guilty*

-You've recited "A Elbereth Gilthoniel" over the phone to a confused telemarketer. *guilty again*

-You buy your capris extra baggy and call them your "hobbit pants" *guilty thrice*

-You just got yelled at by your mom 'cause you have to do chores, and you muttered under your breath "auta miqula orcu" ...*I'll be back [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] *

[Elennar Starfire]

Hey Elennar, how *do* you pronounce that? Just curious...My Elvish isn't that great...

It's like poy cah lay.

[elfearz1]

...My Elvish isn't that great...

oh don't worry. My pronounciation is horrible.

Also, good job for tormenting telemarketers, they bug me so much! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]
I should try that sometime! I bet they wouldn't call here anymore. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]


Oh, and you can all come with us to the movies! Except Menel who doesn't want to! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] *sniff*

Okay, here be mine (enjoy):

You spend the whole of your luch period at lordoftherings.net waiting for Billy Boyd. One day, at my dad's office, we got Billy Boyd first off. Genevieve and I danced around chanting "Bill-y Boyd" over and over. I got really wierd looks from my Dad!

When ever you see a spider you scream "DIE MINION OF SHILOB!!!!" and attack it with a swifter (Genevieve just puts a dixie cup over it, and gets help, so cute!)

I have seen many ents, mainly ones that resemble hemlocks (lanky and thin) and spruces (burly) thought. They're very majestic up here (AK). I don't care what you say, I've seen many of them!

Okay, my friend wrote this, and I helped some. It goes to that one song (I don't know the name of)"...we took a little bacon, and we took a little beans, and we fought the bolddy British at the Battle of New Orleans"

In thirty nineteen we took a litte trip, along with all the Riders along the Mighty Anduin. We took a little Lembas and we took a lot of beer, and we met the Nameless Army on the Fields of Pelenor.

We loosed our arrows but the orcs kept a comin'. There wasn't neigh as many as there was a while ago. Frodo burned the ring and they comenced a runnin', on up the Poros River to the gates of Moradora (it had to fit!)
We all went back to Gondor, where Aragorn was crowned. Two sets of lovers married, and a new white tree was found.
(so yah, feel free to add on)

When ever I'm about to go onstage, I chant "Feanor give me streanght" It works too, it gets reid of all my butterflies!

Yah, I do alot of other things, but hose are the best!

Nehani fo the Entish Forest

[Duncariel]

-You've recited "A Elbereth Gilthoniel" over the phone to a confused telemarketer.

Oh, that is the coolest idea! You haven't copyrighted it or anything, have you?

Oh! I want to come with you too, elfearz! I haven't got anything else to do.

[Nehani]

Oops! I screwed up a verse. It goes like this:

So now we've won and the mighty quest is done. Frodo lost a finger and we all had lots of fun. Now we're back at Gondor, where Aragorn was crowned. Two sets of lovers married, and a new White Tree was found.

Toodles!

[Amarantha_Daisy]

Oh, that is the coolest idea! You haven't copyrighted it or anything, have you?

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Nope, go right ahead! It's highly recommended. I can just imagine the faces on these telemarketers when people start reciting to them in Elvish [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Someday I hope to find someone who starts reciting *with* me...

Woo! Mondo-movie party!

[ August 07, 2003: Message edited by: Amarantha_Daisy ]

these are great

[Mariska Greenleaf]

-You've recited "A Elbereth Gilthoniel" over the phone to a confused telemarketer.

Don't you ever do that to me!!! (to understand, check "jobs" in the Barrowdowns)
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

[Sirithheruwen]

When you name trees, and then whisper "wake up!" to them. I have friends Leaffingers and Greenlimb.

When you commentate your llife in your head. I do that constantly.

When you compare your life to Tolkiens.

When you compare your life to LOTR.

[Tinuviel of Denton]

Mariska, all you'd have to do would be to join in. You'd get to meet one of us Downers. That would be cool, but no one seems to live in my area...

When you chant "A Elbereth Gilthoniel" to calm yourself when your sister is being a brat. (amazingly enough, it works!)

I probably would... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

When your mom starts drooling over the Aragorn RotK poster too. (Be afraid, be very afraid.)

[img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Why does everyone's mom like Aragorn? That's getting a little creepy. My mom likes him for his character/ personality, so I guess that still counts. But everyone's mom liking Aragorn is just a little bit creepy.

you find out there's a fencing club in your school

I wish I went to your school! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

You've recited "A Elbereth Gilthoniel" over the phone to a confused telemarketer.

Must... do... now!

You buy your capris extra baggy and call them your "hobbit pants"

You just gave me a very good idea... now I know what to call the extremely baggy and somewhat short khaki pants I made in "Family Consumer Science" class a year and a half ago... (as long as you don't mind). [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[Duncariel]

I did the telemarketer thingie last night. They hung up on me. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

My mom has the same "fascination" for Aragorn that most do. But she seems to like Frodo more...someone please gag me with a spoon, or some other dull object. It's killing me. *falls on the floor*

[Amarantha_Daisy]

I did the telemarketer thingie last night. They hung up on me.

*cheers* [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] That's great! Yeah...they hung up on me, too. But it was fun while it lasted! Gives you that nice, satisfying, I've-scared-someone-today feeling, doesn't it?

Mariska, all you'd have to do would be to join in.

Yes, please do! If you ever happen to call my house, you'll know it's me [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Just recite with me. I'll say hi. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

You know that you are obsessed with LOTR
when you buy Tolkien book that cost $275

And when you can recite the whole movie.

guilty of the first but not the second

[Amarantha_Daisy]

You know that you are obsessed with LOTR when you buy Tolkien book that cost $275

Hi, Tinuviel's sister! Sorry, had to say it [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Any-woo, which book was this that cost so much?! Was it a special, rare copy or something? That's expensive! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Any-woo, back to the thread. I've been off-topic lately...

-When you name inanimate objects after LotR characters. *Say hello to Boromir, the origami penguin!*

-When you read this thread for ideas...

-When you read this thread for ideas and still have more to add

[Tinuviel of Denton]

Actually, she bought leather-bound, gold-embossed copies of the trilogy, the Hobbit, and the Silm. While I love the things, I would never manage to pay that much for them.

(She got very mad at me for the sister bit [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Actually, she bought leather-bound, gold-embossed copies of the trilogy, the Hobbit, and the Silm.

Oh, I want them so bad! But they're too expensive for me... Maybe someday, when I have a well-paying job or something.

I've tried to recite the whole movie (FOTR) before, but there are certain parts I get stuck on, even after seeing it fourteen times. I guess I'll have to watch it a few more before I can recite the whole thing. I can recite most of it pretty well, though. I believe I can do almost the entire Council of Elrond scene!

So has everyone been greeting her as your sister, Tinuviel? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] I did that, too. I should do it again. Welcome to the Downs, Tinuviel's sister! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Elennar Starfire]

Hey, I've seen it fourteen times too! Cool!

When you get blisters on the bottom of your feet from walking aroud barefoot, like a hobbit, and as soon as they heal you start walking around barefoot again.
(hot streets, owwie!)

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

walking aroud barefoot, like a hobbit

I love going barefoot! I only really do it at home or on grass, though. Shoes are evil! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Yeah, if I'm in a field or something, I'm usually the first one to take off my shoes.

[Tymezennith]

Not sure about this one, but all well.
When somebody insults you, you fill your lungs and shout-sing, "These wounds they will not heal!" from TTT soundtrack

hehe... I scared the crap out of some guys who honked at me.

[Elennar Starfire]

I went to the Festival of the American West with Tymezennith and we walked around barefoot all day, in great skirts.
(But I stepped in something nasty, which was not very fun.)

[ August 09, 2003: Message edited by: Elennar Starfire ]

[Amarantha_Daisy]

walking aroud barefoot, like a hobbit

Yeah, I love walking around barefoot. Especially in my 'hobbit pants' and with mussed hair. It's short and brown, so it works. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

...I'm watching FotR right now... They're trying to enter Moria. heh heh... Hint, guys: Mellon! The password is 'mellon!!' ...Awwwww... poor Bill. Any-woo, back to the thread.

-Your friends and family refuse to watch the movies with you because you mutter the lines under your breath and point out things that "weren't in the books"

-You also comment on things from the Extended Edition's "Fellowship of the Cast" such as Dom's splinter and Sean's directing of the helicopters.

-You sleep with your Ring

-You dream of your Ring

-You don't know why people say those last two are "unhealthy" ... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

[Tinuviel of Denton]

You attempt to tell a group of three-year-olds the story of LotR, and are confused when all you get is blank looks.

You design a sigil for yourself, based on the laws of heraldry in ME (working on it).

You embroider niphredil on your midnight blue cape with beads (that takes hours!).

[Galenfea of Mirkwood.]

Your littlest cousin (2) comes round and you decide to begin his education with the differences between an elf and a pixie (guilty as charged) and next time he comes you plan to start reading LotR aloud to him (also guilty as hell!) [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

[Finwe]

When the only way that your baby brother will go to sleep is if you tell him the story of The Hobbit.

When you swear that Bag End is in your backyard. (There's a hill-type thing in my backyard that slopes down in the front exactly like Bag End).

[the guy who be short]

When you spend your spare time thinking of stuff you've done to add to here.

You get annoyed because you had loadsa stuff to post here and cant remember it. You start hitting the computer.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

When you spend your spare time thinking of stuff you've done to add to here.

You get annoyed because you had loadsa stuff to post here and cant remember it. You start hitting the computer.

I'm very guilty of both of these. You people know me too well. Stop it!

When you swear that Bag End is in your backyard. (There's a hill-type thing in my backyard that slopes down in the front exactly like Bag End).

Even better: I have seen hobbit holes! I'm not kidding! My dad has shown me houses with round doors, and I've seen underground houses, too. (I've never been inside one, though.) Once my friend showed me an underground house that looked very hobbitsy because it was built into a hill. I got very excited.

You design a sigil for yourself, based on the laws of heraldry in ME (working on it).

Where did you find the laws of heraldry? Where?

Dom's splinter and Sean's directing of the helicopters.

Oh? What do you say about them?

-When you say to your cousin's cat: "Have I ever told you the tale of Frodo Nine-Fingers and the Ring of Doom?" (Loose quote from RotK! Seriously!)

-When your friend's dog is named Sam and you recite all the Sam lines you can think of to it.

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

(Why am I writing only about pets? That's a little odd.)

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

When you get very excited that you just added a ninth page to this thread! Mwahaha! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Mariska Greenleaf]

When you go to the movies, and no matter what movie you are watching, everything reminds you of LOTR...

I've just been to Terminator 3, and for some reason I expected to hear the lotr filmmusic to start playing at any minute. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
