When the local Borders (a bookstore) is moving, your mom goes and buys the giant 3D cardboard cutout that looks like the cover of the FotR video for you and your brother.(YES, this is true! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])

When you tell everyone you know who has read LotR that they NEED to read the Silmarillion.
More later-gotta go.

Hey, Oromin, glad to see that I'm not the only one who has an impossible to pronounce email address. (at least these silly mortals seem to think so. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )

When you never say 'thank you' in English (or whatever your national language happens to be) and nobody has to ask you what 'hanon le' means anymore.

Okay, here be mine (enjoy):

You spend the whole of your luch period at lordoftherings.net waiting for Billy Boyd. One day, at my dad's office, we got Billy Boyd first off. Genevieve and I danced around chanting "Bill-y Boyd" over and over. I got really wierd looks from my Dad!

When ever you see a spider you scream "DIE MINION OF SHILOB!!!!" and attack it with a swifter (Genevieve just puts a dixie cup over it, and gets help, so cute!)

I have seen many ents, mainly ones that resemble hemlocks (lanky and thin) and spruces (burly) thought. They're very majestic up here (AK). I don't care what you say, I've seen many of them!

Okay, my friend wrote this, and I helped some. It goes to that one song (I don't know the name of)"...we took a little bacon, and we took a little beans, and we fought the bolddy British at the Battle of New Orleans"

In thirty nineteen we took a litte trip, along with all the Riders along the Mighty Anduin. We took a little Lembas and we took a lot of beer, and we met the Nameless Army on the Fields of Pelenor.

We loosed our arrows but the orcs kept a comin'. There wasn't neigh as many as there was a while ago. Frodo burned the ring and they comenced a runnin', on up the Poros River to the gates of Moradora (it had to fit!)
We all went back to Gondor, where Aragorn was crowned. Two sets of lovers married, and a new white tree was found.
(so yah, feel free to add on)

When ever I'm about to go onstage, I chant "Feanor give me streanght" It works too, it gets reid of all my butterflies!

Yah, I do alot of other things, but hose are the best!

Actually, she bought leather-bound, gold-embossed copies of the trilogy, the Hobbit, and the Silm. While I love the things, I would never manage to pay that much for them.

Oh, I want them so bad! But they're too expensive for me... Maybe someday, when I have a well-paying job or something.

I've tried to recite the whole movie (FOTR) before, but there are certain parts I get stuck on, even after seeing it fourteen times. I guess I'll have to watch it a few more before I can recite the whole thing. I can recite most of it pretty well, though. I believe I can do almost the entire Council of Elrond scene!

So has everyone been greeting her as your sister, Tinuviel? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] I did that, too. I should do it again. Welcome to the Downs, Tinuviel's sister! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

You attempt to tell a group of three-year-olds the story of LotR, and are confused when all you get is blank looks.

You design a sigil for yourself, based on the laws of heraldry in ME (working on it).

You embroider niphredil on your midnight blue cape with beads (that takes hours!).

Even better: I have seen hobbit holes! I'm not kidding! My dad has shown me houses with round doors, and I've seen underground houses, too. (I've never been inside one, though.) Once my friend showed me an underground house that looked very hobbitsy because it was built into a hill. I got very excited.

Who in all Felturn is that? Guest Posts: n/a	You know that you are obsessed with LOTR when you buy Tolkien book that cost $275 And when you can recite the whole movie. guilty of the first but not the second

(She got very mad at me for the sister bit [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )

When somebody insults you, you fill your lungs and shout-sing, "These wounds they will not heal!" from TTT soundtrack hehe...

You design a sigil for yourself, based on the laws of heraldry in ME (working on it). You embroider niphredil on your midnight blue cape with beads (that takes hours!).

When you swear that Bag End is in your backyard. (There's a hill-type thing in my backyard that slopes down in the front exactly like Bag End). __________________ But Melkor also was there, and he came to the house of Fëanor, and there he slew Finwë King of the Noldor before his doors, and spilled the first blood in the Blessed Realm; for Finwë alone had not fled from the horror of the Dark.

I've just been to Terminator 3, and for some reason I expected to hear the lotr filmmusic to start playing at any minute.
