You know you're obsessed when...
1. You start spouting random elvish to your friends and family. 2. You try to teach others elvish, simply to spread the goodness of LOTR to others.
(Guilty on both charges!!!)

You know you're obsessed when..... (Now I have done ALL of these) ~ You made your own t-shirt at a sleepover and it's LOTR related. (My t-shirt says: "Wake Up Sleepies! No Safe places here!" on the front with a painting of the One Ring. The back says: "The Lord of the Rings Smeagol and Gollum" and on the collar I wrote my LOTR nickname: "The Super Precious") ~ You arrived home from a long trip and ran into your darkened room and yelled to your sleeping bird "FEAR FIRE FOES AWAKE!!!! RUN WAKE UP!!!" ("Fear Fire Foes Awake" is a quote from the FOTR books for those who don't know) ~ You are suprised you even had to write the quote is from the books ~Your mouth drops when you say to someone "Why do you weep? What are these tears upon your face? Soon you will see, All of your fears will pass away. Safe in my arms. You're only sleeping" And they asked you were those song lyrics!! ~In catching your younger sister and her two friends awake while they were spending the night...You reply to them "I have the eyes of a hawk and the ears of a fox" ~You wear your LOTR costume around the house for no reason at all. (I wear my Luthien Tinuviel dress ;D) ~When people introduce you they say you like LOTR. ~You always correct them and say you're obsessed ~While on the way home from seeing TTT in theaters you remarked how all the trees on the side of the rode on the way to your house; all look remarkably like Ents. ~You have an Aragorn standee ~You kiss it for good luck ~You've made out with it in your elven costume to make your other Aragorn obsessed friend jealous ~It worked.

EEP from the looks of things I really am obsessed...
You know you're obsessed when...
-You try and convert your entire household to loving LOTR. -You feel genuinely miserable that all the elves had to leave Middle-earth. -You can sing along to at least TWO of the elvish songs on the LOTR soundtrack without making a mistake. -You would take up archery or horse riding simply to be more like an elf.
Guilty on ALL charges! And I'm sure there are many other random things that I get up to that I can't remember right now...

You know you're obsessed when...
- You've read all this. (guilty) - You become a member of several English LOTR forums while English is not you language and you're most of the time too shy to speak another language than your own. (yes, that's me) - This thread gives you a lot of ideas to become even more obsessed than you already were. (guilty) - You think no one can be too obsessed. - You can't stand people saying they don't like LOTR
PS: I don't think I'm obsessed, but I want to be it!

You know you're obsessed with LOTR when... ~ Your younger sibling (sister in my case) is angry that she is short and you insist: "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future." ~ You actually got two Star Wars fanatics who claimed LOTR was stupid (*gasp, choke, hack, cough, gag* ).....and you got them to sit down and watch the last half hour of ROTK ~ You got them to admit they actually LIKED it

Alright, here's my list....I guess I'm really obsessed, this is really long!!
• You plan on naming your next dogs Frodo and Sam. • If you breed Sam, you plan on naming the first female Elanor • You have a sign on your bedroom door that says, “Welcome to [your name’s] Hobbit-Hole. Speak, friend, and enter.” • You have your mom sew you an elven or hobbit cloak • You’re insulted when someone says you look like an elf, because you actually like hobbits better and you want to look hobbitish, not elvish. • You wear your One Ring on a chain while watching the movies • You’ve memorized parts of the LotR actor interviews • You’ve attempted making lembas and are in the process of perfecting the recipe • You get annoyed when you think of “you know you’re obsessed” things during orchestra rehearsal or while in the shower and you’re not able to write them down! • You wear shoes only when you have to • You know your real Elvish name • You want to live in the Shire, or at least somewhere very similar • Your dream home would be a hobbit hole just like Bag End • You write LotR

from Arwen-Undomiel.com’s forum so you can read them in the car • You’re glad you’re short because it makes you look more like a hobbit • You’re proud you have a German heritage because hobbits are similar to Germans in that they love eating, drinking, dancing, and having fun • You change you email address so that it’s LotR-related • You end all of your diary entries with “Namarie” • You get looks when you wear your blue elven cloak in public • Strangers come up to you and tell you that they want a cloak like that • You wish you could visit Middle-Earth • It almost makes you mad that

that one of your music teacher’s chamber music group is going to meet/work with a LotR producer in California • You want your brother to write a melody for a song from The Hobbit and send it to Howard
