You know you're obsessed when
-Someone in this mud you participate in (who happens to be in your grade, and goes to the same school as you) 'puts on the One Ring' and then you thwap him for being a moron.
-In that same mud, your title is 'Protector of Middle-Earth'
-And you managed to 'do the Wave for Boromir the Disco King', 'wave kings at Boromir the Disco Squid' and 'wave squid at Boromir the Disco King' on that very same mud.
-Since your friend runs that mud, you manage to convince him that the pre-packaged area with a part called 'Mount Doom' should be changed a bit. He's working on changing it, but he went the humour road. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Ah well, at least he changed it.

You go into a bookshop and see copies of the trilogy lying and looking all forlorn. You want to buy them but you relaise that you don't have enough money AND you've got exactly the same copies at home!!!

oops.

Man, you guys make a lot of progress... o.O;;;

~When nobody has to ask you what you're gonna be for Halloween. They all automatically know. ^_~ With me, the start: "What are you gonna--" and then it hits them: "Oh, yeah, a hobbit." It's quite funny, really.

~Whenever you find out something about RotK or the Towers EV, you start screeching like a baby Nazgul and consequentally scare the living daylights out of everyone in the building.

~When you discover the Trilogy Tuesday is sold out at the theater nearest you, you start crying like a school-girl on prom night without a date and are completely inconsolable for days.

~When you think it's the coolest thing in the world that, on Halloween at school (or today, in my case), you and your friends have matched costumes without meaning to. In my ASL class, me, and my friends Kellie and Sean were all sitting at the same table; I was a hobbit, Kellie was an elf, and Sean was Aragorn. It was so awesome.

When you are ulta-careful carrying a tray of drinks, because you think 'I am an Elf, I can't spill this!!!' Lame I know, but I can't think of anything!!!

What is the whole thing about Halloween? We never do anything...much less dress up as a Hobbit. I thought it was all about dressing up as witches and ghosts etc?

The traditional costumes are witches and ghosts, but as they don't feature in Lotr, I don't think we can expect anyone here to assume either of those appearances.

I'm dressing up as a witch.

When you:
- throw a a party every Sept. 22 when it's not your birthday
- tell people to go to Mordor instead of Hell
- tell your nieces that Harry Potter, all the superheroes, the bogeyman, or even Santa doesn't exist and scare them that a Wraith or an Orc will get them when they don't behave [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
- gather all your fellow LOTR crazy friends, play Monopoly, convert the real estate properties to places in Middle Earth, and literally fight over Shire, Rivendell and Lothlorien
- constantly consult Malbeth the Seer for your daily activities
- think your LOTR/JRR Tolkien stuff as your "precious" and won't let anybody touch it
- when you win a ticket to a Matrix Revolutions premiere and wish it was RotK instead
- ask your mom/dad to take you to a trip to New Zealand for your birthday (and watch RotK when it gets shown there, and brag to your friends when you get back because they still have to wait for a whole month before it gets shown in your area) ---> ooo, delusions, delusions [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
- call the local radio dj, and tell him on air, never to say any word from LOTR if he doesn't know to pronounce it or even know what he's talking about [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]
- think Star Wars is just George Lucas's plagiarism for LotR [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I'm doing that too Arwen! AM on 'The LEave Taking ' on my CD.

~WHen you friend is making funny pics with quotes of ppl and asks you what your fave quote is he goes 'It's LOTR, isn't it?' Yes, Aragorn's poem in fact.

~Even if you're not reading LOTR, you have to just read a few sentences each morning to get you going.

~There was another one but can't remember it.

Oh yeah!!! You read the frame by frame analysis on onering.net and change your MSN name to the writing on it; 'There can be no triumph without loss etc...'. Your other friend asks whats it about. You tell them to go to the cinema and find out. LOL. No1 had any idea. ALtho later my friend guessed something to do with LOTR.

Ah well. Not v obsessive are they?

When you get all excited that you found a program to download for free that will let you create a new skin for Internet Explorer, because you can make a LotR skin! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I made one of Rivendell, and it's so pretty!! Here's the link.
I think you can make a skin for whatever browser you have. It doesn'thave to be IE.

When the costume you wear has the perfect underdress for you to be Eowyn, but unfortunately, there is oh, 5 inches of snow on the ground and -10 out. [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] Now I'm just some random noble lady from mediaeval times. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] (And I am listening to a cd, but not TTT soundtrack because of my costume. I'm listening to a group of women singing mediaeval songs/poems)

Thank you so much for that link, Arwen! I have a Legolas skin right now, and it's great! Don't know if my father's going to appreciate it so much, though...

You know you’re obsessed with LOTR when:

You have this song from Monty Python named : I've got a lovely bunch of coc, and every time you see it, you read: I've got a lovely bunch of orc... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] I'm innocent of course!

When your friends discover a disturbing development: You started to like dresses! Eowyns dresses, of course, and elvish ones, but still, dresses!!! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

You celebrate every new morning, because it brings you one day closer to the release of ROTK. (If you knew me, you would know I am NOT a morning person!)

You and you friends (who's just beginning her obsession, but don't worry, I'm working hard on it [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ) have a new joke nobody understands (like always...): on this chocolate bar wrapping was an advertisement for a stunt so you can meet you favourite 'music celeb'. So of course I started laughing. When my friend asked me what was the matter, I explained. Now, we're always talking about singing silver!

You get really upset all the times you can't come up with obsessive things you have done, to post here. In fact, I think I do do a lot of obsessive things, but there just so normal to me, that I don't notice!
I feel much better now... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I'm listening to breath of life right now, you now.

NaNa!

Aethelwine, friend of the elves.

That sounds like me!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] My mom doesn't know what to do with me.I go from wanting to wear jeans all the time, and when I did have to wear something nicer, I liked skirts, not dresses, to now wanting to make myself dresses. Of course, they do have to look Elvish or like something Eowyn would wear. I realy want to get some chocolate brown material so I can make a dress like Eowyn's refugee dress. Oh, and have you seen this site before: LotR costume research
Wonderful, wonderful site!!!

Yes Arwen, that's what I meant! I always wear trousers, not even skirts, I hate them! Well used to... I still hate skirts, but I wouldn't mind to have Eowyns shieldmaiden outfit. Or her white wool dress (wich is actually cream! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ). No, wouldn't mind at all...

Yes, I know of it. And I agree, it's such a good site! It's one of my favourite LOTR/Tolkien-sites! (beside the BD, of course! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

You know your obsessed with LOTR, when it makes you want to make you own dresses, and wear them to!!! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Arwen, that costume site was wonderful. Thanks!

I'm not much of a seamstress. I haven't sewn in ages, really. I just shop hard when I find stores with flowy, airy dresses... But now that I've seen that cloak pattern the the Fellowship cloak, hmmmm, I might sew just one thing. That grey material... One could line it with forest & woodland green, and get the camoflage effect just by reversing the cloak; green for summer, grey for winter...

I wonder... I've often toyed with the idea of actually finding a camoflage material, and making a cloak from that. But then, I like *not* being seen when I'm out in the woods.

Such happy thoughts! Thanks, Arwen!

When you intend for your Halloween costume to be that of a mercenary (albeit a poor one, since I couldn't bring my sword to school) and realize when you get to school that you look rather like either Elladan or Elrohir, so you go around all day telling people that you are Elladan/Elrohir (whichever one strikes your fancy at that particular moment).

When you are an elf for Halloween, and while taking your sisters trick-or-treating, you decide to dress up in your costume for the dance at your school. at every single house after they say "thank-you," you tell the person in the house "Namarie." I don't mean to brag, but my costume looked very good! I wore one of my Mom's old bridesmaid dresses and pinned a (fake) diamond pin at the neck. I also had ears.
When you insult people in Elvish (the only Elvish I know is insults). For example:
On halloween, at one of the houses we went to, the lady there said, "Boy those are gross!" She was talking about my ears! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] I just smiled, gave a little bow and said, "Auta miqula orqu." (*I'm sorry, I know that's the Grey Elvish one, but I couldn't remember the real one*) [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

~ When the RotK preview makes you cry. If the preview made me cry, imagine the flood at the theatre when I see the whole movie!

~ When you cry because your elf dress is not finished in time to wear it to school on Halloween. (I wore a cloak, though!)

~ When you want to modify the RPG you are in to a scene to perform in drama class.

~ When you use elf faces when typing. Like these: <(^_^)> <(~_*)> <(o_0)>

When people are talking about pink fluffy alligators, and you suddenly yell, "purplefluffychainsaw!" Got some weird looks for that... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Mine wasn't done either! In school, I just wore a creepy black dress with fishnets and carried around a scary doll... I ran home after school to finish sewing, and I got my Elven dress done in time for the party I was going to! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I'm still not technically "done" I still have to hem and fix up some details...

-When, at said party, you greet people with "Suilad! Mae govannen, mellon nin."

-When you spend the whole time at the party deciding exactly *which* elf you are... I was asked by a LotR friend of mine, but I didn't have an answer! By then end of the party, I settled on Aradhel, from the Silm. I love her story! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I cry every time I see it, no matter how many times I watch it! And I know I'll be crying through the whole movie...

~When you walk like Galadriel every time you go down stairs, trying to look as if you're floating down them.

~ When you're walking through the store, and first walk like Aragorn, taking long strides, then walk like Galadriel, lightly like you're floating. I did that this afternoon. I stood behind my mom where she couldn't see me, because she probably would have wondered why on earth I was walking all these different ways, and made me stop [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

When you stand in the middle if the aisle in front of the big screen tv at the store that is always playing TTT and quote all the lines along with the characters, rather enjoying all the weird looks you're getting from passersby. I don't know all the lines from TTT, but everytime I go to Sam's, the store I was talking about, I see the scene about taters and fish and chips! It's really weird! Last time, I watched a lot more than just that scene, but it always get to that scene when I'm in the store. So I get to quote along.

--- When you bet on a racehorse called Elvstroem on Cox Plate Race day, just becuase it sounded like an elf owned it..

-- Then you spend hours thinking whether the owners picked that name from LOTR

-- Then you go on the net and look everything up on Elvstroem...

Obsessed much?

When, after you see a fireworks display, you immediately think: "That was worthy of Gandalf, that was," in a Sam voice.

When your book report is - wait, do I really need to finish that sentence? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

When people you don't know come up to you and ask you to "speak elvish." You rapidly sing the "A Elbereth Gilthoniel" song, startling them.

The only way your mom can ground you is by threatening to take your Tolkien books away. (Needless to say, I went completely crazy and Gollum-ish, and my Dad literally had to hold me back, because I was clawing for them! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])

A guy in my math class asked me to speak elvish, and I did that, and he said I was scary because I sounded like Galadriel. I thought it was cool.

-you post threads on any other MBs you belong to about Tolkien and cry and scream at teh people there and tell them they 'have no imagination' whatsoever. that seems to annoy them...

-you find some patterns for Evlish dresses and cry when you realise they are too big for you (i still haven't got over it)

When you walk through the store singing 'The Road Goes Ever On' and Pip and Merry's song from the Green Dragon hoping a fellow LotR fan will hear you and say something about it.

when you're at the theatre and a preview for the rotk video game comes on and you have a heart attack thinking that it's a preview for the movie, but alas! you are mistaken and you are very disapointed [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Me too! I had no school on the Halloween or the day beore, so I sewed like mad on my Eowyn dress, but it didn't get done, so I had to wear last year's Arwen dress to go trick or treating (I kind of threw a fit about that). This whole thing happened because no one could take me to the fabric store untill the day before Halloween [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] grrrrrr

Your obssessed when you become like me: Only answer to Elvish, in Elvish, in Rivendell. My friends said it was to hard to learn elvish, so they only talk in sign language. Good thing I know that! ^_^
