Very funny, although the sad thing is I answered ‘yes’ to most of those……. o.O
I don’t have the cloak yet…and I haven’t watched the EE’s yet (but I want to!) so, yeah. That describes me. You forgot to mention the adapts kids songs to refer to Lotr stuff though. (Starts singing to the tune of the Oscar Meyer weiner song, “OH, I’m a LotR fan…”
very good but did you get this idea from me?????? oh well, I guess it is slightly different
Wow. I think I got like 27 out of 30.
wow! are you sure your not just writing about me? how about: you can read & write better in tengwar/runes than you can in english. if you wanna be up for a humorous fan fiction award search: The Humourous Fan Fiction Awards Nominations to nominate yourself/someone else

At least about 22 of these are me and some fit perfect! Thanks to LotR, I now have a sword and bow in my room… lol!
!!!! All of them I answered yes… Well my dog isn’t named after a LotR character but my next one is going to be Frodo, Pippin, Legolas, or Sam. If it’s a girl…then probably it would be Eowyn. He he and my email…Elven_Maiden_9 (for nine in the fellowship), and about the elvish… Gwend sui lotheg i edlothia an-iur…Okay that was me trying to be poetic…lol *fumbles with ring replica around her neck as she writes on her newest LotR fanfic and watches RotK, then starts screaming “DEATH!”* *just for fun puts on Legolas shirt, Merry and Pippin shirt, and Aragorn shirt*
ROTFL! I like your list! Tis to true. But now that you have found the problem, can you find a cure?
wow…. i dont say thank the valar and i cant quote the commentary but everything else applies to me its kinda scary….

_____ ways that you know you are an Elf (or any other race) at heart

I feel so proud I’m guilty of many of these things!
I loved it!! Please write another list!

The first time I went into her room after she got it I wasn’t expecting it to be there, and I practically jumped through the roof! lol Good work, very creative!

Maybe you can fit a really big list on and make it a round robin. Call it ‘A really big list of ways you can tell you are obessed with LOTR’ by the way I am not really obsessed just half obsessed
i only missed three go me
yaay I’m not the only one who quotes the commentaries!!!Lol! I do so many things that are on this list!
*laughs* Oh man, I’m obssessed…Love the list=D
Have done 4, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 23, 26, 27, 29, and 30. Is that enough to qualify as obsessed? As for 13 (whether or not Balrogs have wings), they DO. Watch the bit in TTT when Gandalf has that flashback to killing the Balrog and you will see the wings!
27 out of 30…:)
Oh good, I’m not the only one?
