Do you have Tolkienitis? A test!
Try this:
Sit down and write the five most desirable characteristics you would like in your ideal man/woman (depending on your preferences) If your list contains any of the following: - An interest in Tolkein - Ability to speak any Tolkien language - Has seen FOTR at least ten times - A member of the Barrow Downs - Will call you by your elf/hobbit/orc name [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] Then RELAX! You are not obsessed - you merely have a highly developed ear for the finer things in life and are a dedicated fan. CONGRATULATIONS! You still have your grip on reality! However, if your list contains ANY of these: - Being Legolas/Frodo/Aragorn/Galadriel/Eowyn/Arwen - Having pointy ears/big hairy feet and no shoes/being immortal/a wizard/a dwarf - Must have killed a balrog or dragon at some point. - Must be king or queen of both Gondor and Arnor - Must give up their immortal life to be with you [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] WELL! I would say again CONGRATULATIONS! You are completely obsessed to the point that you cannot distinguish your life from LOTR! This is an achievement beyond price. I wish you good luck in finding your elf-friend in the wilds of 2002. You have been diagnosed with rampant Tolkienitis. Airetauriel |

Boy, by this list, I'm not obsessed at all. I put down the characteristics that I like to imagine in hobbits like Sam, though:
kind intelligent (but not overly so) loves his family (and God, if applicable) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] caring loves animals and/or plants Hmm...

I actually made two lists. One that I thought was reallistic and one I thought was fanciful. This is the real one.
*Loves to read or write *Loves acting *Reminds me of Samwise [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] *Is a Tolkeinite *Loves me for who I am inside (I know that sounds mushy) Here's the fancifull list. *As stubborn as Samwise *As commical as Pippin *As charming as Legolas *As innocent as Frodo *As kingly as Aragorn (now if i ever met anyone like that it would be a miricle) [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

It seems like a personal ad, but oh well!!! nn10, you like animals???!! And you like legos!??? I love both! Well doesn't everyone like animals? And I like legos but prefferably the little lego people cuz I like to make them 'die' in freak accidents. HAHA.....HA! Ha, ok I'll stop.
-funny -smart -good looking (well, I mean as my cousin would put it-you gotta be able to look at the person without wanting to put a bag over their head. Nice isn't it?!) -pretty much MUST like Tolkien/LotR related things. Well ATLEAST know who he is! -not as important, but he's gotta like good music. Like heavy metal, hard rock, or just rock. (liking Nickelback is a good plus! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ) That's about it I guess. And if we're saying signs, I'm a Libra [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Well, I am less obseessed then I thought, nothing really came into my mind about tolkien except for a picture in my mind of him looking like Elijah. Oh well.
Just one question: How many of you are married??

Mine don't seem all that bad, really--
-intelligent -kind -have a tremendous love of reading -interested in music, art, something like that... -completely open-minded to my weirdness and be slightly odd themselves [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Nothing really Tolkien-related, but I'm not especially obsessed. And I'm a Gemini. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
