6) You own a copy of the one ring

13) You sing these on a regular basis
14) Your friends no longer understand your e-mails, as they are all typed in Elvish

18) You have a Middle earth based costume, which you dress in frequently
19) You have written a love letter to a member of the fellowship

21) You keep yourself entertained by playing question games with yourself ‘Whatsss it got in itsss pocketss?’
22) You know the words to Gollum’s fish song.
23) You have sung Gollum’s fish song many times, mimicking his voice “So juicy sweeeet!”
24) Every piece of music you hear reminds you of a theme from the soundtrack of LOTR
25) Your entire family has memorized the sound track from hearing you blast it all the time
26) You see a tree and think to yourself “That looks Entish”
27) You can speak with your friends for hours at a time using only movie dialogues, and it makes perfect sense
28) You have gotten in trouble for throwing jewelry into the fire
29) You keep maps lying around, waiting for the day when you can go back and “see mountains again”
30) You’re disappointed when your one ring doesn’t make you disappear.
31) You have trained your pets in Elvish
32) When you fell in love you told the other person that “you would bind yourself to him” and then gave him a cheap piece of jewelry
33) You tried to convince your teacher that “knowledge and frequent use of the Elvish language” belongs on your transcript
34) You have memorized the complete musical score from FOTR
35) You have convinced yourself that the Elves didn’t die out, but instead, they got zapped into the future, where they became Vulcans
36) Your idea of a perfect mate is three foot tall and fury feet
37) You no longer use your real name, using instead your name in Elvish
38) You know what your name is in Elvish, Dwarvish, and Orcish
39) When speaking of the cafeteria lunches “We ain’t had nothing but maggoty bread for three stinkin’ days!”
40) You dream of lembas and mushrooms
41) You have gotten frostbite from repeating to yourself “Elves don’t feel the cold, Elves don’t feel the cold….”
42) You often wonder about Elven children
43) You are willing to experiment with Legolas
44) You are ashamed at the above line, knowing that more than once that thought has crossed your mind
45) You are now blushing
I would love to know what y’all think.

so very true!
This is too funny mate!
I scored 34 out of the total…And no I’m not going to tell you which ones they were!
LOL!
Nimmy
How much truer could these be? Excellent job…
The last four were really funny! I loved them all, though. Unfortunately I am obsessed and the only thing that applies to me is that I’m learning Sindarin elvish… although that pet thing is an option….
GREAT!!!!!
Opps, I think I must be addicted:)But those trees spoke to me first!!
I now know officially that LOTR has truly taken over my life! Thanks! (lol)
i knew b4 that LOTR had taken over my life(and believe me, all my friends and family do 2) but this was awesome!! very original. i do a lot a these things, but mostly i am convinced there was an elf in my geneology. ME!!! ~*LOL*~
lol the really scary thing is i’ve had most of those signs…especially the last couple ::blushing::
wow, it’s kind of scary that most of thos do apply to me. Especially the last few. Hee hee! That was funny!
This is stange. Alot of this stuffsounds like me(especially the part with the 3 foot tall mate)!It may not have taken over me yet, but it will eventually.
Can I just say you have written about me exactly. My name in Elvish is: Lathron
Woohoo! that was funny! a few were actually true..tho i won’t say which ones. You did a nice job!
That was great! I really needed a good laugh.
Thanks!
This was really good!
So very true…I can relate to the speaking elvish to friends line.
lol! this is so funny. i answered yes to an astonoshing lot of these. the last four especially got me laughing.
lol i do loads of those 🙂
I can relate to 3 6 7 9 6 18 20 24 25 27 30 34 37 42.I think these are interesting and funny .
I don’t seem to fit with all 45 but at least 15 sound like me.
I don’t have a dog but I want one, i will call it Strider and train it to “Ti dago pan!” (Kill them all).
I also hope my mum doesn’t tape what I am told I talk about in my sleep.
I’m going to try this on a frend later, It’s brilliant!
LOL i love it. Scary enough i realte to most of it.
Oh my god, I wondered greatly if someone was going to take this up. And I haven’t been disappointed. I haven’t laughed so hard in a while. Great, I hope more are added soon. For instance, you mentioned absolutely nothing about all us fans that have tried to convince our parents to buy us real swords for our birthdays!
haha. V funny! 23 of them refer to me…including the last 3…. *grins guiltily & blushes*
I laughed out loud, I snorted, I guffawed, I was glad there was no one else in the room! And I identify with FAR to many of them!
Melinyes! And thank you!

That is hilarious! I LOVE it!! Do add more. ::blushes:: I must admit, some of those do apply to me….like going on perhaps 15-20….(?) lol. and uh ::coughs:: I, uh, ::clears throat:: do know what my name means in elvish ::cough, cough::
Namarie & May the Force be with you!

Proudly Guilty of #26, along with many others….
thats cool but my dream dude is not 3 ft tall w/furry feet my guy is 6ft tall w/pointy ears;)
You are so right. I do about half of them. Its so sad but true. very good. I least im not the only on who considered elves and vulcans. Yeah i wondered about the children too.
This was so funny!!! I loved #15. LOL!!!!
how did u get hidden cameras into my life?????????
very funny (not to mention very true for me at least, but i’d rather date an elf than a hobbit)
He he – so true! Creepily true, come to think of it … what – do you spy on us or something? I’m guilty of so many of these ’tis unbelievable!
OMGosh! ITS SO TRUE! Expecially the last three *blushes majorly*
I have done a few of these. = (giggle)
I think that this is well good and most of it is true for me. Its a gooden!
That was cool! Almost all of it had something to do with my life(except the last three).
Oh Illuvitar… I fit like, 20 of those catigories… COOL!!!!!! I always knew iI was obsessed! ^-^
about 10 of these things apply to me 🙂
I’ve done every single thing on this list, save the one about Beren and Luthien and Romeo and Juliet.
Muhahaha my friends now call me Elwen…
lol!!! I can relate to everything on the list. please make another!!!!
These were really good. I must say I answer yes to almost all of them. I guess I give my twenty-fourth story a three. Make that three and a half.
it is sad how many of those are true for me!*blush blush* scary thoughts….. o_O
Hey, this comes a little late, but better late than never lol!!! This is hilarious, and more than a few of those I have um…..done….lol, and still do. Keep up the hilarity in future fics!!
This is kinda late, but I answered yes to at least half of these. Does it count if you compared Grima Wormtongue to Cassius and also said Christopher Lee would be the perfect actor for Cassius because he played Saruman?
(Cassius is from Julius Caesar.) I also go crazy whenever anyone mentions anything even extremely distantly related to LotR, so I totally qualify.
(Yes, the Cassius comparison was an essay.)
Lol! Funny! I am rather disappointed though, I only got 27 of em.
32-35 *stares off into distance* oh sorry what was I saying
