You know you're obsessed with LOTR when ... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Elalia · 01-12-2003, 10:24 AM

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

1 Someone walks past your bedroom door, you drag them in and ask "Are you frightened?, Not nearly frightened enough!"

2 A member of your family enters the room, with a strange being, you have not seen before and you say "They have a cave troll!" best not to say that one in front of your parents, because it could get nasty!

3 You attempt to walk on snow like Legolas.

4 You consider going to the supermarket as a quest.

5 You spend most of your time staring into a mirror expecting to see the past, present or future.

6 You speak to people mainly in Sindarin or Quenya, then when they ask you to explain yourself, you mutter something about small minded humans.

7 You get up unexpectedly and leave the house, then when someone asks you where you're going, you say you have been summoned to a secret council in Rivendell.

8 You believe that your brother or sister is some stange creature that was created in the fires of Mount Doom!

9 You suddenly decide you have a craving for mushrooms.

10 You see a flock of crows, and run for cover!

I'm sure I've missed loads, so i'll let you write the others in!

Love Elalia x

P.S Please join my council called "Council of Elendili" [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] That's not fair! I only do 2/10 but I did manage to talk about all Tolkein's books for 2 hours, I think that should be on the list! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I got a peasant dress for New Year, and everytime I wear it, I go:

Quote:

Instead of a dark Lord you shall have a queen!
...all shall love me and despair!

Nearly did it in chuch this morning...phew!

Sindafalathiel · 01-12-2003, 11:58 AM

Whenever I have a tall thin vase, I fill it with water, and pour it into a sink and say

Quote:

Will you look into the mirror?
What will I see?
Even the wisest cannot tell. For the mirror shows many things. Things that were...things that are...and some things...that have not yet come to pass...

Hi people,

You know you're obsessed with LOTR when you grow your hair long and do it like the Elfisch.

Yay that makes me obsessed. Does anyone else do this?

These are not mine, but i love them anyways.

1)You walk up to the ticket counter, the woman behind the desk looks up and simply says, "The usual?"

2)The guys at the snack counter have named a combo meal after you.

3)You've figured out, down to the ounce, how much soda you can consume over a three hour period without having to take a potty break.

4)You're really annoyed that the spell checker on your word processor flags "prrrrreecciiooussss" as wrong.

5)You've ever lied about the number of times you've seen FOTR. (classic addiction denial...)

6)You've even been stuck in slow moving traffic, leaned out the window, and shouted "Fly, you fools!"

7) It doesn't matter when you take a potty break anymore as you just mutter the dialog to yourself and reenact the battle scenes on the way to and from the restroom.

8)

My main ambition is to go to school with my hair like Legolas, elf ears on and bbright blue contacts to match elijah wood. see if anyone notices...

I placed a china bowl on a pedestol in my living room and claimed it was Galadriel's mirror*.

I also wear blu contacts to school, because of elijah wood and because of the many cahracters in the movie that have blue eyes.

Hey everone you know your off the deep end when you.

1)You spend 18 hours straight of you weekend reading any of the books becuse as you say."How can I put it down when its at the good part."

2)You find yourself hearing dialog from the book.When people are talking about something else.

3)You keep having Lord of the Rings inspired dreams.

4)Your friends and famly keep saying"your reading/watching it agian?"

5)Last and not least.You make a ship and go off to sea, to as you say"look apon the blessed realm"

eleanor_niphredil · 01-15-2003, 02:45 PM

How about when you parants call you by your elvish name? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

For Christmas my mom wrote "For Parmawen" on all my presents.

Oh yeah, and you know you're obsessed when:

the sight of your school's ratty, falling-apart, suspciously stained copy of LOTR brings you to tears. (Guilty...I was ranting to teh librarian for a week)

your mother asks you to kindly refrain from mentioning anything in Elvish or to do with Frodo at the dinner table because it's confusing your grandparents

Kath · 05-07-2005, 05:39 AM

You know you're obsessed when:

You suddenly realise that you cannot actually have a conversation without mentioning something LotR related at least three times

When you meet someone new your first question is - "So, are you a LotR fan?" and if they say no you find yourself wondering how best to initiate them into the world of Tolkien, and all this before even asking their name!

You become insanely jealous of the person who has brought in a ligthsaber because in your head you are imagining it is Anduril.

It's a great way to pick up guys!

Seriously, though; I met my (now ex-)boyfriend at a party because a mutual friend said, "Go talk to him. He likes the Lord of the Rings." So that was what we talked about for quite a while, and we went out for over a year. LotR is a successful matchmaking device! Hmmm... maybe that should be a new thread: LotR-sparked relationships, especially in light of Lal and davem!

Bywaters · 05-09-2005, 03:21 PM

My friend's Dad is a member of the Masons (or something like that) who had organised a charity amature boxing stag night at a local hotel. So me a nine other guys went along. All was going well, untill about 2am (at this point having drunk maybe one too many glasses of wine and beer) I got talking to one of the boxers. Me being me, I had to ask him if he liked LotR. He didn't and continued to slag it off, at which point I told him "something off" which he didn't take too kindly to! My memory is very hazy but I think I managed to talk him around from ripping my head off as I was none the worse come the morning. Or maybe it was the fact I had nine other blokes with me, either way, they had a laugh seeing me squirm!!

Iaurhirwen · 05-18-2005, 01:24 PM

Tomorrow is the day that I have been obsessiver over for an entire year. My drama group is going to a drama competition tomorrow in this great artsy town called New Hope in Pennsylvania, and they have a shop their that sells swords and other material of that type. They have almost all of the LOTR swords for sale there and tomorrow, since I am now 18 and am allowed, by law, to purchase a "weapon" I get to buy a sword. I was so upset that I couldn't get one last year because of my age that I've been obsessing on getting a sword.

The only problem is what to get? I'm not sure if my drama directors will appreciate a sword on the bus so I might have to conceal it, which means it would have to be smaller. But I so what a full size replica of Anduril. Argh!!!! I'll just have to be very crafty. And watch my money too, I hate being on a fixed budget, especially with college approaching next year.

Another thing, I was watching Shrek 2 the other day for the first time and I saw the scene with the ring. I started laughing hysterically and becomming all giddy because of the Blantant LOTR reference. I then closely watched the rest of the movie to catch even the smallest reference, even if they were "unintentional"

I can't wait to get my sword

I've been researching different swords and how they could possibly look and drawing swords in the margins of my papers in class . . . . . . . . I'm so hyper over this!!!!!!!!

Lossentilien · 01-15-2003, 03:19 PM

You buy a dvd player just so you can have the special extended dvd.
You get nicknames like:
Lord of the Ring-if you wear a ring (any ring) on a chain, or the more popular one, Lord of the Rings freak/nut/crazy fan/ know it all etc....
When people anticipate your next LOTR quote, or know exactly when you're thinking about it.

These are *so* me! Hey, I've got some more:

1) You can recite, word for word, Galadriel's Monolog at the beginning of FotR at a moment's notice.

2) You've written down all the dialog for FotR, in the correct order

3) You've learned how to write in Tengwar.

4) You have at least fifty LotR pics plastered all over your room (I'm almost to 100!!)

5) You have one (or more) of the swords.

Everdawn · 01-15-2003, 08:06 PM

WOW school in Australia is really different.. everyone here is obsessed!...

You know you are obsessed when someone has to go to the office and 20 of your friends in your group begin to say...

"one does not simply walk into the office"
".... there is evil there that does not sleep.."
".... the very air you breathe is a poisonus phume.."

so on and so forth....

And can i just say... my friends and I converse in elvish and understand eachother... And i know Every line of the movie off by heart... we are movie freaks.. I can also recite Moulin Rouge off by heart, as well as 10 things I hate about you... the list goes on... People at my school wear their hair like the elves.. its well... normal..

alaklondewen · 01-15-2003, 08:56 PM

The other day I went into a clothing boutique (major weakness [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]) and tried on an outfit. It fit but I put it back. As I was hanging it back up, I found myself saying:

"I pass the test. I will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Galadriel."

I immediately looked around to see if anyone heard me.

1. i wore my hair like Legolas to school and now everyday i do my hair elvish.

2.my dreams are LOTR related

3.i stayed home from school pretending i was sick just so i could read FOTR.

4.i constantly do LOTR dialog with my cat. she gives me weird looks.

well there are more things i do but some ill keep to myself....

Ainahithiel of Mirkwood · 01-16-2003, 10:24 AM

you know you're obsessed with Lord of the Rings when

1. you make a t-shirt JUST for the 4 days before the Two Towers comes out

2. you were a silver crown that you actually made out of clay to school and pronounce yourself as "QUEEN OF THE ELVES"

3.you're the only person who dresses up at the premire of "THE TWO TOWERS"

4. you hear the Loth lorien theme during Spanish class.

5. you hear the fellowship theme in your head when your sitting at lunch

6. everyother day you were green contacts and flowing sleeves and speak with an english accent

7. someone writes a paper for the newspaper about you going to see Lord of the Rings too much

8. your parents band you from LoTR for a week because it's "NOT HEALTHY" you get up on a chair/desk and proclaim that they have been bewitched by the eye of Sauron

9. you constantly were the one ring around your neck and when you walk up the 12 flights of stairs to get to your science class room, you claim the ring slowed you down because its "getting heavier"

10. your friends who have not seen the movie can finish your quotes i.e. " what buiness.."

"does an elf a man and a dwarf have in the riddemark?"

11.You go to a forum named for a down in the book and actually post there.

Rose Cotton · 01-16-2003, 04:06 PM

~When you can listen to the Fellowship soundtrack and know exactly what would be going on in the movie.

~When you can listen to the Two Towers soundtrack and know exactly what would be going on in the movie.

~You watch movies just because a cast member from Lord of the Rings is in it.

You know you don't have a life when:
~You've memorized the books word for word.

Sindafalathiel · 01-16-2003, 04:38 PM

When you nearly fail school because you daydream about it constantly

When you pronounce foreign languages like elvish

When you insult people in elvish, and refuse to tell them what it means

Maylin · 01-16-2003, 05:03 PM

oh, i thought of two while shutting down my computer.

1) When you turn your soundtrack off, you doublke check to make sure it's off, because you still hear it. ( It happened to me last night)
2) You think the little eye icon up by the website address is really the eye of Sauron, trying to find you......

...::..Lutheyn...::..

Aiya · 01-16-2003, 05:37 PM

-When even your fellow LotR friend calls you a freak... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

-When you know all the music from TTT even before the movie has been released.

-When you start spotting similarities between LotR and an opera by Wagner. I swear, it's true! The Ring Circle by Wagner.

-When you're making an elvish dress to wear at your formal. (And circlet, and cloak, and...)

-When you have a huge arguement with a friend because he thought you had told him that 'nobody likes you.'

Guilty... All guilty...

nevlhachien · 01-16-2003, 06:19 PM

-when you print out like 50 pages on how to speak quenya

-when you are constantly on LoTR sites posting messages about knowing you are obsessed

-when you ask your mom where you can get some elf ears

You become insanely jealous of the person who has brought in a ligthsaber because in your head you are imagining it is Anduril. __________________ “If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”

My friend's Dad is a member of the Masons (or something like that) who had organised a charity amature boxing stag night at a local hotel. So me a nine other guys went along. All was going well, untill about 2am (at this point having drunk maybe one too many glasses of wine and beer) I got talking to one of the boxers. Me being me, I had to ask him if he liked LotR. He didn't and continued to slag it off, at which point I told him "something off" which he didn't take too kindly to! My memory is very hazy but I think I managed to talk him around from ripping my head off as I was none the worse come the morning. Or maybe it was the fact I had nine other blokes with me, either way, they had a laugh seeing me squirm!! __________________ ...I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh? insuperably wasted

Iaurhirwen Wight Join Date: Dec 2003 Location: In the theatre!!SHOWTIME!!!! Posts: 217	Tomorrow is the day that I have been obsessiver over for an entire year. My drama group is going to a drama competition tomorrow in this great artsy town called New Hope in Pennsylvania, and they have a shop their that sells swords and other material of that type. They have almost all of the LOTR swords for sale there and tomorrow, since I am now 18 and am allowed, by law, to purchase a "weapon" I get to buy a sword. I was so upset that I couldn't get one last year because of my age that I've been obsessing on getting a sword. The only problem is what to get? I'm not sure if my drama directors will appreciate a sword on the bus so I might have to conceal it, which means it would have to be smaller. But I so what a full size replica of Anduril. Argh!!!! I'll just have to be very crafty. And watch my money too, I hate being on a fixed budget, especially with college approaching next year. Another thing, I was watching Shrek 2 the other day for the first time and I saw the scene with the ring. I started laughing hysterically and becomming all giddy because of the Blantant LOTR reference. I then closely watched the rest of the movie to catch even the smallest reference, even if they were "unintentional" I can't wait to get my sword I've been researching different swords and how they could possibly look and drawing swords in the margins of my papers in class . . . . . . . . I'm so hyper over this!!!!!!!! __________________ "Will somebody find my pants?" - "What do you do with a drunkin sailor?" - "You have a giant mole!!!!" - "Tom!!

You get nicknames like: Lord of the Ring-if you wear a ring (any ring) on a chain, or the more popular one, Lord of the Rings freak/nut/crazy fan/ know it all etc....

It fit but I put it back. As I was hanging it back up, I found myself saying: "I pass the test. I will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Galadriel." I immediately looked around to see if anyone heard me. [ January 15, 2003: Message edited by: alaklondewen ] __________________ At last I understand why we have waited! This is the ending.

( It happened to me last night) 2) You think the little eye icon up by the website address is really the eye of Sauron, trying to find you......
