The Hobbit, or There and Back Again
discussion
You know she your obsessed with the hobbit when...
You get excited when The Song of the Lonely Mountain comes up (and you listen to it a lot because it's passionate about the dwarfs' purpose!).You want to be like Bilbo and leave your habit infested life to go on a long, life changing adventure. (I sure do.)
Oh I see thank you! A lot of the things that aren't in the hobbit are in the films. I know that it shouldn't really bother me but it kind of does, I hate it when the movies aren't true to the books. When a couple years back when you saw pirates of the Caribbean for the first time (after having watched the fellowship of the ring etc.) and thought "Well somebody opted for a major career change! And really legolas, you are not a swordsman you are an archer! "

READ IT AGAIN PEOPLE!!!
They are, but the Necromancer thing is all screwed up.....

I didn't mean that , there are a couple things that are changed. The dwarves appearances, the inclusion of legolas etc.
When you start giving your friends hobbit histories (you know where you make them family members of people to do with the Lotr or the hobbit and then create their back stories?)

You know I could never think of Gollum as Smeagol. Smeagol doesn't really exist to me...
When you wish you had a cigar so you could attempt to blow smoke rings without tobacco (not quite sure how that would work...), even if Gandalf would come back the next day and make me feel rather ashamed at being proud of my smoke rings when he is able to make them move and turn into dragons...
when you actually buy the "one ring" with elvish lettering on it and stuff (not me, but my brother)

When you watch Pirates of the Caribbean and all you can say when Will Turner is on screen is "Where's Gimli?" and "Well. Someone's lost their bow and arrows."

When you are waiting for when someone says "Good morning." a reason to say, "Good morning? What makes the morning good?..." and so on. . .
When you get bummed out that you can't write you masters thesis in history on Middle Earth.
(From the Hobbit movie) When you are obsessed with finding out the names of the two mysteriously absent "blue wizards." There are supposed to be five wizards...but we only ever see three of them!
(I wonder if this has actually happened to someone...)Teacher: Alright class! Today I have decided we will do a book reading and report on Lord of the Flies.
Student: (Snapped awake from daydreaming). Did she say Lord of the Rings? Did she say Lord of the Rings?? Hey ANYONE! Did she say Lord of the Rings??! Yeah! Awesome! (Does dance-moves, singing) We get to read it! We get to read it! We get--
Student #2: No stupid. She said Lord of the Flies.
Student: :/
Tolkien himself never named the two blue wizards, and really only referenced that they had existed. Nobody knows what happened to them....I was very pleased they stuck that in the film. :-D
...when "going to The Shire" becomes a euphemism for using the restroom.
When you carry a pocket handkerchief wherever you go, just in case you are unexpectedly swept off on an adventure

I taught Lord of the Flies and must have mistakenly called it Lord of the Rings about 15 times. :)
