You Know You're Addicted to LOTR When...
Oh my, these are hilarious.
IKR! I do so many of those.
It's really sad,because I do a lot of these things but my friends all hate LOTR!!
That is sad. But at least you know we like it. :)
Yeah! That's why I go on a lot of LOTR groups!!
I love walking around my house pretending to be an elf! One time, I was walking outside and yelled to this random person on the street " they're taking the hobbits to isengard!!!" and he just looked at me really weirdly and walked away!!!!
- when you eat plain pita bread and say it's lembas ( elvish waybread)My sister and me do that all the time

Sometimes when me and my friend argue, we model our arguments on Merry and Pippin's in Two Towers Extended, when Pippin mysteriously begins to grow.Also I sometimes say "you shall not pass" to my cat, usually when he walks in front of the screen as I'm trying to watch the movie(again).
I can already speak like Gollum, and I've gotten a few compliments for my imitation.
I get REALLY insulted when I say "elves are awesome archers!" and someone else is like "elves make presents and bake cookies!"
I dream about it A LOT.
And after I saw the movie, I learned archery.
As for the whole Elvish better than English thing, I'm working on it...
Lol, I'm still working on Elvish too. And I hate the kind of elves that "make presents and bake cookies!"

Actually I have random urges to quote Elvish from the movie and then everyone looks at me like I'm crazy, which I guess I am.And someday I want to try urging a horse on with some Elvish, too.
I calm my cat down with Elvish. I think he likes it.

I am trying (unsuccessfully) to teach myself elvish, but apparently I'm failing, because I had a dream I was in the Fellowship, and tried to tell Legolas that there were orcs (in elvish) and he just looked at me and said "WHAAAAAAAT?"
I had one but I don't remember what happened in it.
i remember all my dreams that have to do with a movie/book i like (aka ALL of them)
It happens to me sometimes. One time I dreamed I was in a volcano with a bad guy from my imagnination.
oh yes and i tried talking to a horse. didn't work because then I watched two towers and realized i was saying it wrong ;)
I would have to say that 99% of those on that list are VERY true & i cannot help but be a bit (okay, a little more than just a bit) obsessed about JRR Tolkien's work including the lord of the rings & the hobbit. ...i love Elves. I am a huge fan of the fantasy genre and tend to read it most & i talk about Hobbits a lot! :) x
Wow. That just about describes my family.
yes yes it does
XD i do a lot of these things!! me and my friends are the Fellowship, or so i've told them

You REALLY know your obsessed with Lotr, when you look in the mirror and you pinch your ears and try to get them pointy
XD omg, i've actually done it more times than i can count! :D
:D I want to get fake ears, that would be awesome!
Yep!Are you going to dress up when you watch The Hobbit?
I think I'm just going to go in my medieval dress.
yes!!! me and my friend r making elvish dresses for the premier!! ugh, watch how we go 2 the theatre and we're the only ones dressed up -.- loooooooooool
Awesome!Haha, when they played the LOTR in the theatre last year nobody dressed up for that.
Oh my... =)These are quite hilarious. I do only the "naming-pets" and "calling-friends-as-fellowship" part
lol! haha! me and my friends are trying 2 learn elvish, but we suck -.- haha!
Heehee!! These are awesome!! I have a friend who I think can write (and maybe speak) fluent Elvish. I'll have to ask him to teach me :D
That's cool, I tried learning it. It's soooooo hard.
ikr, its actually really fun 2 write in elvish, speaking it is a whole other story ;)
