How do YOU stand the wait?

[arianrod]

I try not to think about it. I do other things to occupy my mind, hoping I'll get my thoughts off the <B>189</B> days I have left to wait. It never works, but at least I try. <P>I come on to forums like this and discuss aspects on the books, or read discussions and try and understand the complex thinking of it all. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I read a lot of LOTR fanfics and I write a lot of them as well as it is the only way to survive the wait in a sane manner!!!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Here, here, Arathiriel, I know exactly how you feel; I do the same. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I spend most of the time curled up in a corner rocking back and forth repeating quotes from the book, thinking how strange the movie would sound backwards... ahhhh! the suspence is killing me!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I've always thought if I played the movie backwards, it'd sound like chipmunks corresponding in a complicated plan to destroy the squirrels and TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!! How about you?<P>When I'm in public, I like to walk around and quote Boromir and Denethor to random people on the streets, telling them "It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust," and to "Go now, and and die in what way seems best to you!" That's always entertaining.<P>Despite all these distracting activites, I still find my eyes wandering to the clock on my desktop that counts down the seconds till the release (189 days, 06 hours, 30 minutes, and 30 seconds for Central US time). I have gotten some good ideas of how to kill the time on here though. But what's this "Real life" everyone keeps talking about? It sure sounds like fun...
