I don't if I have posted this or not, but when...

-You can quote movies almost all the way through and very close to being on que while someone else is watching them in another state(I've done it 3 times).
-You own a replica of the evenstar pendant from Noble collection and wear it.
-Your wedding dress is a Elven gown.
-You want to buy a couple of LOTR costumes.
-You and your brother can finish eachother LOTR lines.

You know you're obsessed when

1 When your brother asks you what the Council of Elrond is, you imediatly jump up and act it out, all by yourself (which I do not reccomend, it is very tiring being so many people)
2 When your brother bangs on your door, you say "No thank you! We don't want any more visitors, well wishers, or distant relations!" and refuse to let him in until he replies properly
3 Whenever you and your cousin say good morning to eachother, the one being good morninged says "What do you mean? Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning wether I want it or not, or that you feel good this morning, or that it is a morning to be good on?" even though she has never read The Hobbit
4 you know how many days until An Unexpected Journey comes out (372)

(Some of these might have been said already...)

You're obsessed when...

-You've memorized all the songs/poems in the LotR book
-You can write in Tengwar and runes
-You have every Tolkien book you can find
-No one will play the LotR trivial pursuit game with you cause you always win
-You've read/watched LotR more times than you can remember
-You make a LotR costume and wear it as much as possible
-You're known as the LotR Freak around your school/town/whatever
-You always ask for LotR stuff for Christmas
-You are always quoting LotR(lol it drives me crazy when people do that... unless it makes sense to say it at the time... my crazy brother quotes random movies at random times. it's annoying!)
-You've read the Silmarillion(ok I don't consider that obsessed, but some people do! :P)
-You try to name all your pets after LotR
-You have at least one password as 'mellon'
-You write tengwar or runes all over your walls/door/school books
-You know/are trying to learn Sindarin or Quenya(or any other language like that)
-You draw (favorite Tolkien character here) all over your notebooks
-When people come to you if they have a question about LotR

Ok so this is getting long.... hehe :P

You know you're obsessed when...

You give actual buildings LotR names (the art museum is Minas Morgal, the mall is Minas Tirith) and refer to those buildings by their LotR names at all times.

You wear an actual ring around your neck

You refuse to let anyone see said ring

You terrify your friends by impersonating an angry Gollum when they ask

You have a cardboard standup of Legolas in your room that you talk to as if it is an actual person

Instead of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", it's "Aiya Earendil elenion ancalima!"

You make up tunes to the poems in LotR just so you can sing them.

I have done all of these, I am proud to say.

^^ Can't say I'm guilty, because my mom loves LotR as much as I do!

You can't sing "This Is My Father's World" in church without thinking of the Fellowship Theme.



err... yes... I've had that problem before...


-You walk down the aisle to "Concerning Hobbits" at your wedding... and nobody is fazed by it...

.. When you can convince your English teacher (who really doesn't like LotR) that the books are actually pretty amazing. I had to do an oral report on books of my own choice for my finals, so of course I picked LotR, much to the dislike of my teacher. After my report however, she said she wanted to got and read them for herself :lol:

@Lhunardaien Well done, well done!! I always love it when I manage to convince people who previously though LotR boring :O to read the books and become fans :) Like they'd say "It's a classic, classics are boring... yadeedahdeedah..." Then I show them the movies and they're immediately hooked. As if they ever stood a chance!! XD

You know you're obsessed when you try to stick paperclips in your ears to make them look pointy, and you speak to yourself in Elvish just to confuse others and you write all your notes, including school notes, in the elvish script :) AND, when people look over your shoulder and see what you're doing and go like "What the hell is that?" You LOVE it. :D

@Sirelinde
I think I'm guilty about that.
I always make my school notes using some of the elvish languages.
I tried to pull my ears upwards so they look pointy.(I want to be an elf)
Sadly now my hair is short............

You know you're obsessed when...
You meticulously copy a map of Middle Earth onto your history notebook
You copy a complete list of runes down and try to memorize it
You peer at everyone's ears to determine whether or not they are pointy
When you were younger, you acted out LotR with your toys/dolls/action figures
You have sudden fits of excitement over the Hobbit movie at completely random moments

I didn't really have elves in mind when I decided to grown my hair long, I wonder if it was a subconscious choice...

Did you actually succeed? Mostly, I find people with long, narrow ears that look pointy from the front.

You know you're obssessed when you shout elvish at the team opposing your school, and when someone asks you what you said, you repeat the elvish to them as if that explained it all.

Good times, good times.
