And thus my search for future names for my fish is complete. I usually get Siamese Fighting Fish anyway, which tend to fight... so it's actually quite symbolic...

If you do these thing you are not only obsessed with LOTR you are kind of nuts

1. You try to turn in your home work in elvish.

2. You start sailing around looking for mittle-earth.

3. You are scared of woods becase of ents.

4. You try to forge an elven ring. (I just might try it! )

5. You try to look up aragorn in your phone book.

6. You look on a globe for the shire. (Or some thing like it )

7. You get mad at me becase you did a few.

8. When you see someone dressed as a ringwraith you run for your life.

9. You start throwing stuff into the fire to check for markings.

10. You have convensed yourself that you are a king of rohan.

Yup, searching for Mini-Balrogs definitely makes you obsessed with LOTR.

I'd run even if I wasn't obsessed with LOTR. Your list was great me9996.

4. you challenge people to middle earth trivia contests daily.....in elvish!!!!


5. (off book but similar) you own Twinkle and Icingdeath.

6.you have read the books(as a whole set0 29 times or more.)


well thats all i can think of of why im so obbsessed with ne-thing lotr!!!!!

[Halbarad of the Dunedain]

You know you are really obesessed when you know more about the world of Tolkien than anything else. Your obsessed when a semi-Tolkien nut askes, "So who was Gandalf exactlly? Was he a human or elf or what?" and you reply along the lines of,

"Weeeeeeeeell, it really all begins with the Valar who were created by Eru, that is the one god. The Valar were kind of like angelic godlike beings who created and watched over Middle-Earth and they had angelic powers beneath them.(persay) These were called the Maiar. Now, Morgoth was one of the Valar and became evil, his highest follower was Sauron and Sauron was a Maia, a Maia of Aule. When Melkor, or Morgoth was chained in a "neather world" type place Sauron the Maia took his place as dark lord. The elves and men and other free peoples of ME speant ages fighting him and eventually in the third age the Valar sent five Maia called the Istari, Maia who were sent with the purpose of aiding the free peoples in Saurons defeat. The first of the five to come across the seas to ME was Curanur, or Saruman as we know him. With him were two blue wizards who never come into the story for some reason. Next came Radagast the Brown, and finally came Gandalf the Gray. When Gandalf arrived he was given the elvan ring of fire, for Cirdan the shipwright had seen a great labor in his future and gave the ring to Gandalf to aid in his quest. After the events of Lord of the Rings Saruman was cast down from the Istari order and Gandalf was made into Gandalf the White, for the Valar saw he was in need of greater strength. Anyhow Gandalf and co. defeat Sauron and in the end Gandalf travels back across the sea to Valinor where he began."

It's knowledge and answers like that that tell if your a true Tolkien nut.

Noble gas? You are good at this...

I did all of my Crafts I projects on LOTR. Let's see...

1) Elven calligraphy in a Two Towers frame (all black and red, oh how I hate plaster!)
2) Blue moon made with LOTR in mind
3) LOTR keychain
4) Frodo sock puppet (which was bloody adorable! He had a little green wash-cloth cloak closed with a leaf-shaped ring cut in half, and tiny earring one-ring. hehe)

Poor frodo,

Or you look at the screen for "departures" at the airport and think of Boromir.
Or if someone mentions "Three is Company" you don't think of Jack, Chrissy, and Janet. (okay, well that one wouldn't count if you're under 28)

You got that right!

I am guilty of all these, unless stated otherwise. So, if you think I'm a big freak...I don't care, because I love LOTR!

I don't think number 6 is right (I do it all the time!)
of corce if I was obssessed I wouldn't admit it .

[Manveru]

you are walking home from school/work and you start singing "the road goes ever on and on"

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Surely Argon should be a Noble Stone:
Ar[tar-] - Of High or Noble derivation aragorn,arnor,tar-palantir
Gon[gond-] - -Stone in gondolin, gondor





you know you are obsessed when you can take words and find their elvish translations!!!

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

It actually means Royal Tree!

You use it or something similar as your senior quote.
~Guilty as charged.

How about you don't need to look them up...?

[Rosie Gamgee]

Already said but worth repeating:

You know you're obsessed when you want to name your pets Tolkien-created names.

Incidentally, I am thinking of getting a kitten (female). I was thinking of Anduin or Nimrodel for a name- any suggestions from anyone?
