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

When you change the words of nearly song you know so they're about Tolkien.

When you discuss High Kings of the Noldor with your little brother late on school nights instead of going to bed.

When you tell your brother "Mind the howling Sons of Fëanor" instead of "Goodnight."

When you boycott and want to sue Robert Jordan for copyright infringement because he plagerizes words from Tolkien, even though everybody tells you that you would never win.

When you have the Verse of the Rings and A! Elbereth Gilthoniel written out on your school binder. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

When you correct anyone who pronounces Sméagol like SMEE-gull instead of Smay-uh-gall. [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

When you start reciting Sindarin poetry aloud so you don't have to listen to annoying people.

You can recite most of the dialog in FotR along with the soundtrack.

When your Social Studies teacher asks you to write about an example of a civil war, and you do the Kin-Strife.

When you have to write about your nicknames for Language Arts, and you put down Orominuialwen, Mûzklash the Mauler, and Thuringwethil.

When all your poetry is Tolkien-related.

When you want to take fencing and archery because you have a secret ambition to be a sheildmaiden.

When you make up skits showing the meeting of the movie Chicago and Morgoth, Gothmog, Treebeard, or the fighting Uruk Hai. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Whenyour school needs a new mascot and you consider suggesting the Fighting Uruk Hai as one (this was my aunt, not me).

That's all for now, although I'm sure I'll think of more later! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
