Oh, yes! I knew that! (honest, I did!) You know you're obsessed with Tolkien when you can miraculously pull that kind of information from the depths of your memory.

Guilty as charged.
 I like Nienna... I can never decide who's my favourite of the Valar, though... Kind of confusing. *goes back to Finrod worshipping* Oh yes! You know you're obsessed when you do that! Worship Elves, I mean! And when you get your mother to read the Athrabeth (which, by the way, is a more obscure story that cannot be read without knowledge of the Silmarillion)! And here's the catch! Your mother has never read the Silmarillion! Hasn't read LotR in 30 years! And before the movies, guessed that Rohan was a girl! That was bad... and painful.  You know your obsessed when it causes you emotional pain when someone doesn't know such supposedly easy things...

Maybe Ulmo.
I should limit it to the Aratar. Makes it easier. Maybe... Yavanna? How about that: You know you're obsessed when you can name the Aratar.

That would be Nienna.
And Orome. Two of the Aratar. HELP! HOPELESSLY OBSESSED! HELP!

How about this one... though it's more of an Entmoot obsession, I admit.
You're internet connection in you're room mysteriously dies, so you run downstairs to the dorm computer room as quickly as possible...  I have to go back in a minute and see what happened to my computer...

How's this for one:
You've used all the gas in your car driving back and forth from your house to the library, the seat you sit in there never gets cold, and all you have to do is show up and the librarian already has the computer ready for you.

Not fair! I wish the librarians had a computer waiting for me all last summer!

What if... uh, has anyone ELSE bothered to memorize all the Kings of Arnor and Arthedain... in order??
I'm still working on the Chieftains... and I only have a little over half of their 'dates'...

Royal Tree. Never actually thought about it that way... but where would the 'g' come from?
Talking about trees though... Galadhriel... that spelling is amusing. Sorry. That was random. A sure sign of obsession! And no, Valandil. Haven't done that... But for most of the princes of the Noldor, I know not only the Sindarin version of the name, but the original Quenya, as well as their mother names (not all, but quite a few), nicknames, and most of the meanings. That's got to count for something... Ooo...my posts aren't technically LotR-centred... ah well. Erm... Galadriel is LotR! There! I have a link...

 Better question... have I ever written down anything at all...? By the way, Nurvi, I think it's both. Though my latest to date was 3:30am. You know you're obsessed when you stay up that late talking about the books... or, um... pretending to talk about them.

I believe the latest I've stayed up posting was about 5 or 5:30... not often, but I'm pretty sure it has happened... lol.

*shudders*
What's the point of going to bed when it's that late... Though I shouldn't talk. I'll probably do it eventually... Depends on how many people are online. But you're right. Real ones are so much more fun. How about this one, it actually is LotR related, for real!: Um... let's see if I remember this right, in junior year of high school, some movie-obsessed boys in your biology class start posting up pictures from the movie on the blackboard and walls of the classroom, practically starting a war in class... They decide to name the... well, it was some sort of lizard... Gwindor, which they somehow decided meant "spiderman"  So, they show of their obsession by calling the thing "Gwindor son of Edrahil" or "Gwindor son of Elrohir", I don't remember which... So I just have to show off my own much worse obsession later by saying, "Do you want me to really show you how to write that in Elvish?" And then proceed to put their ludicrous translation into tengwar.

How many times have we gone over this now? Hm... are you saying Mandos, one of the Valar, or Nienna, one of the Valar. Not that it makes much of a difference, unless you want to say Valier. [You know you are obsessed when you make comments like that ]
