You Know You Are a LOTR Addict When....

I just watched The Hobbit trailer again the other day too.

174. When one of your lifetime goals is being achieved by having a Bible Quiz team named the Hobbits
 
176. When you realize what the sign in #175 read you ponder if it was once a location on which Elves would for a river.
 
177. The only time you experience road rage is when someone passes you going too fast and you shake your fist and yell to yourself "You Shall Not Pass!"
 
178. When you love little dirt roads winding through a meadow or the woods or some other picturesque landscape, and sing softly to yourself, the road goes ever on and on...
 
179. When you sum up your personal application of the chapel message by repeating "Roads Go Ever On" to yourself.
 
180. When it makes your day to hear someone in the hall shouting "You shall not pass!"
181. When you give the chapel speaker bonus points for using a quote from Treebeard to sum up Jesus' reaction to the Pharisees and sinners in Luke 15.
 
182: When someone asks "How long is this going to be?" and you answer "As long as a life-age of the Earth."

183: When you see a sign saying 'Huron Street' and you read it as 'Huorn Street'

184: When you read the first one as 'Huorn Street'
 
185. When you attend a Tolkien friendly college (we've had at least two Tolkien courses offers, along with several Lewis ones).

186. When someone walks past your apartment window humming the LOTR soundtrack, and you hum along.
 
192. When your little brother says that LOTR is his favorite book...even though he's too young to read it.
193. When your mother has grown to hate LOTR because it comes up so much at the supper table.
194. When your 13-year-old brother's teenage initiation rite is watching LOTR for the first time.
195. When a flock of birds flying south makes you immediately think that they are Saruman's spies.
196. When you learn your German voice piece, "Du Ring en Meinem Finger," by imagining yourself to be Gollum, complete with Gollum-voice comments about "My precious" at the song's end.



That scary thing is, that's all true....

197. When the CBD catalogue comes in the mail, advertising on the back the movie tie-in edition of "The Hobbit" book, and it's all you can do to tear your eyes from it. xD

OH MY GOODNESS, yes. xD
 
198. When you obsess so much over LOTR and the Hobbit that your mom (who can't get past the first 30 minutes of FOTR without deeply disliking it) listens to the entire Hobbit audiobook, just for you so that she knows what you're talking about.
199. When friends try to steal your paper/notebook/pencil you clutch it to your chest and hiss in your best Gollum voice, "Its mine! My preciousss."


I've done both.
 
200. When you're thrilled to get #200 on this thread.
201. When you learn your other foreign voice piece, about lost love, by imagining Galadriel leaving Middle Earth.
202. When you're practically dying to vote for Aragorn as a write-in candidate.
 
204. When you seriously consider voting for Sauron on election day, figuring that he'd do a much better job of running the country than any of the candidates actually seeking election.

205. When you feel the urge to dress up as a Nazgul, hide behind some bushes, when it is dark, jump out on somebody, and hiss at them, before asking in a very creepy voice, "I am looking for Baggins, where may I find him?"
 
206. When you almost vote for Aragorn on election day, but decide that would be irresponsible. So you vote for a third party candidate by write-in, and spell his name wrong.

207. But you do vote for "Faramir of Gondor" for senator.

208. And "Frodo Baggins" for representative.

209. And then you feel silly, but (since your view of politics is articulated in several ways in The Two Towers) hate all the candidates, and leave the ballot as is.
