I couldn't do a two person trivia contest because I could never think of questions to ask. I always think, anything I know they will know too.

You know you're obsessed when you get LOTR Risk just to act out the battles.

Also, when you are angry that there are no cliffsnotes for the Sil.

hey, I'm not sure if it's me, noon or someone else you're referring to, but as for me, I'm getting there, and noon too, when she has the chance...

1. When the only reason you go into a bookstore is to look for Tolkien that you don't own...

2. When you sit in class taking notes...and all they consist of are names of people from the Silmarillion...or drawings of said people...

3. When you can't wait for class to be over so you can get back to the Moot!...

sadly, all of these are true...^_^;;

If only you knew

. I spend all of my free time at school making up new threads and posts (I used to make them for the moot, but since I opened Ered Luin, my websites, and learned more about HTML code, that has got most of my attention. But I still do that with RPGs.

Meriadoc Brandybuck · 01-21-2005, 09:28 PM

1. Er... you post in this thread.
2. You pity the fool who hates Tolkien. (Which would be totally evil.)
3. You believe that, somewhere out in the universe is Middle Earth.
4. You are guilty of most of the things mentioned here.

Some people say that this Earth is ME, and I'd really like to belive them, but am not quite sure yet...

It is totally evil to hate Tolkien...

And when you spend most of your time in Study Hall on the moot... and of course you can't wait for class to be over so you can get to that study hall.

I will remember it.

I remember!

You know you're obsessed when you finally decide to grow your hair long, partly because you think it looks more Elvish, and then you randomly start wearing it in braids for the same reason! Help!

You've half convinced yourself that multiple universes exist, and that everything written in a book exists in our minds, and therefore truly exists somewhere in this socalled multiverse, and hence have indeed decided that in at least one fashion, ME is real. And this fills you with unimaginable joy.

Erm... guilty.

Likewise guilty of not being able to explain it correctly...

I am not insane... well, maybe...

Make that three people you've convinced to learn Quenya! Add to that you're planning on forcing the Silm on a fourth person SGH-style (meaning make them read it to you...

)

You read the LotR cliffs just to make fun of how horribly undetailed they are...

Oooohh, is it a bad thing to admit I'm looking forward to seeing you do that?

Another thing: when you decide to find LOTR on tape, in chinese, to help you learn chinese better....

1) You find hairy feet attractive
2) You scream "Yay, Gandalf!" at every fourth of July fireworks display
3) You have long, philisophical arguments with your baby sister about the creation of the orcs
4) The first site you go to after having the net down for five months is this one, even though you aren't a regular anymore

OH MY GODS! I have done everything except #2. Especially number one. You don't know how much trouble that can get you into.

Embladyne · 01-23-2005, 02:52 AM

#2 is really fun, though.

i am a victim of number 4, many times

Katt_knome_hobbit · 01-24-2005, 09:07 PM

You spend hours waiting for someone to post on the moot.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHRRRGGGGGGGG GGGGG!

sob! WHERE IS EVERYONE??? Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

trolls' bane · 01-24-2005, 09:15 PM

Number four. Every time.

Embladyne · 01-24-2005, 09:16 PM

I am So very guilty of said waiting.
And replying to above post just to ease the pain I empathize with.

Katt_knome_hobbit · 01-24-2005, 09:18 PM

thank you

Yup, me too! Isn't it so annoying!?

Elemmírë · 01-25-2005, 06:07 PM

3 & 4. Definitely. And I empathise with you guys too... I wish you were on right now...

Hey, here's another I forgot earlier. I'm not to proud of it, since it's movie based. I bought a faery necklace years and years ago in Salem. I put it away for said years and years until I watched the movies and finally remembered it. It looked strangely like the Evenstar as it's shown in the movie.

I, erm... have hardly taken it off since.

Look at my picture... it's there, covered by the poncho.

Embladyne · 01-25-2005, 06:24 PM

This morning, as I was waiting for my class, I was trying to write the geneology of the elves, from when they awoke, and all the splits...from memory....I didn't get too far...but far enough to know that I need to talk to more people about Tolkien...I hope there are Tolkien fans in that class...
