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

210. While singing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, you change the line "Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say," to "Then one fogy Christams Eve, Gandalf came to say...."

211. You wrote a parody of "GRandma got run over by a reindeer" called "Gandalf got Pulled Down By A Balrog"
 
212. When you really, really want to read Sven-El's parody.
213. Because you've been singing the title of it all through Christmas....
 
214. When your students understand that you are obsessed...
215. When your students correctly guess that you were humming "Concerning Hobbits"
 
216.When you start refering your young, Michievous kittens as Gollum.

217.When you are shocked to find out that your two stepsisters have never heard much about Lotr at all. :O (and one of them is 6 months older than you...)
 
Not sure if this one has already been done, but...

218. When someone says 'Good morning' to you, you reply: "What do you mean? Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?"
 
219 when you are planning on attending a Lotr meetup group next Saturday in Seoul, even though you have to rider the subway over an hour to get there and despite the fact that you have never talked to any of the members before
 
220. When you have a map of Middle Earth right next to your bed and right before shutting out the lights and going to sleep, you try to find the path that Bilbo and the dwarves went on to get to the Lonely Mountain.
221. Same as 220, except with Frodo and the fellowship.
 
222. When part of your introductory PowerPoint for student teaching included a slide with a Hobbit poster on it.
223. When you keep memorizing the poetry--on purpose.
224. And you wish there was more poetry.
225. Even though C. S. Lewis thought there was too much poetry already.
226. After all, you don't really want the poetry to read.
227. You want it to memorize.
228. So you can quote it at odd moments and frighten people.
 
229. When your mother has banned you from speaking your Gollum voice in her presence because it freaks her out but you occasionally to it anyway.
230. When your cousin you haven't seen for months comes over you discuss the appendixes in the back of ROTK, instead of, y'know, life, because it IS your life.
231. You have your Hobbit poster strategically placed in the middle of the wall opposite your bed in your room so that every morning when you wake up you think to yourself (in Bilbo's voice) "I'm going on an adventure!"
232. When in socially awkward situations you start to mumble to yourself things like, "I'm surrounded by dwarves, what are they doing here?" and "We wants to be alone, Preciousss."
233. You translate Gandalf's entire "Good Morning?" quote into Spanish so that you can say it in class. (Harder than you may think.)
234. When you can quote the Hobbit. The first time you see it.

235. When having watched the commentaries to the extended edition actually helps you teach a medieval history lesson.
236. When you attend a performance of The Screwtape Letters and are nearly as excited by the main actor's mentioning Tolkien in a Q&A session as by the performance itself.
 
237. When your out and about and any of the works of Middle-Earth play in your head, and begin mouthing the passages to yourself.

238.You start dreaming about beings, lands and other things of Middle-Earth.
 
242. You were very proud of the nickname "Frodo" when you were a small child (and still protective of it) and tried proving to everyone you were an awesome hero like Frodo by running around challenging the boys to duels with stick swords and hitting them many times.
 
243. When the brother and sister who you pressured to read LotR have bought new editions of LotR and the Hobbit when yours are still perfectly usable.
244. When you suffer LotR-related hipster anguish about whether buying the letter opener that looks like Sting is too mass market.

239. You get mad at Pandora for mislabeling a LOTR soundtrack.
240. You connect other books, TV shows and movies to it as well as events in your everyday life.
Click to expand...

I do the second one a lot!:p.

245. You name pets after characters from Middle-Earth.
246. All you think and talk about is LOTR and Middle-Earth.
247.Tolkien is your favorite author because of the brilliant creation of Middle-Earth.
248.You wonder how anyone can think of another series being the best fantasy ever written, when clearly Tolkien's works are a lot better than them.
