wewe have a decided opinion on the swali of the two Glorfindels.
wewe understand #4.
Your thesis was entitled "On the Valar and their Treament of the Noldor"
When watching The Two Towers, wewe must fight the urge to scream, "THERE WERE NO ELVES, NEITHER FROM IMLADRIS NOR LÓRIEN, IN THE BATTLE OF THE HORNBURG!
But wewe mourn Haldir anyway.
It's not "hello", it's "Hail and well met."
wewe know the difference between Sindarin and Quenya.
wewe use Shire reckoning.
wewe can recite the names of all the Kings (and the four Ruling Queens) of Númenor.
wewe think Ar-Pharazon was a louse.
Your twin sons are named Elladan and Elrohir.
Your baseball bat had a name, too: Narsil. And when it broke and had to be taped up, wewe re-named it Anduril.
Finarfin is your role .
aliyopewa a map of Middle Earth, wewe can instantly locate Rivendell, Lórien, Minas Tirith, and Edoras.
Your vacation house is on your private island, which happens to be named Tol Eressea.

wewe know Gil-galad's real name.
wewe know who Nerwen is.
Spock is your inayopendelewa nyota Trek chaacter.
Your idea for the Big Dig is to rebuild Boston on the plan of Gondolin.
TV just isn't the same as a palantír.
wewe have learnt to blow smoke rings.
wewe have a weed patch.
wewe own a shipbuilding company named Círdan's Crafts.
wewe know you're obsessed with LotR when...you no longer answer to your real name, but rather, wewe prefer to be called Elerial, daughter of Bruce, of the house of Smith.
wewe talk about nothing but LOTR. All the time.
You've read LOTR zaidi than once, to the surprise and disgust of your peers. (Note: I think most LOTR mashabiki have read LOTR several times... - Nevermore)
Your family (who don't like LOTR) know many of the lines to FOTR from walking past wewe watching it, au hearing wewe quote it.
Your inayopendelewa CD's are the LOTR soundtracks, even though wewe don't like classical music.
Your teachers even tell wewe wewe need to lighten up on LOTR.
When you're helping your little brother with his himework and it says "The Lord of the Rings" wewe want to frame that paper when he gets it back.
When that homework paper says "The Hobbit" on the other side wewe don't know which side to frame facing out and decide to rotate it every week au so.
When wewe can't find your LOTR CD (Heavan forbid) wewe flip out and start humming one of the songs to make yourself feel better.
If someone likes LOTR they DON'T talk to you, because they don't want a 3 saa lecture on how Tolkien, not Jackson, was the creator, and how Jackson majorly screwed some things up.
wewe have read/own 5 au zaidi Tolkien vitabu (counting LOTR as 1)
People are careful not to say LOTR 1, LOTR 2, and LOTR 3 around you, because you'll yell at them.
When someone says they don't like it wewe exclaim: "What?! How can wewe say that?!" and smack them.
When your "friend" says she's tired of hearing wewe talk about it wewe smack her and continue talking.
When people say you're obsessed wewe say: "And proud of it!" the way Frodo does and smack a mug down on a table.
The tiniest things remind wewe of LOTR, like the way the mirror wewe got for krisimasi that has the lights that reflect all the way back makes your eyes look like Galadriel's.
au the way some people have Hobbit-hair (which makes wewe wonder if they have hairy feet)
When you're watching TV and they even onyesha a picture of something from LOTR for a nanosecond wewe can tell exactly where it came from, and what's going on, even if wewe only glance up to see it and there's no sound to it.
When wewe see that picture wewe turn the volume WAY up and pay close attention to that comercial from then on.
When wewe see a word that looks anything like something from LOTR wewe read it as that word, like when wewe see Fodor's Map of the Caribbean (?) wewe read it as Frodo's...
wewe spend your time copying poems from the books.
wewe have a portion of your bookshelf dedicated to Tolkien, but for some reason Tolkien vitabu seem to be scattered all over your bedroom, and not one is in the Tolkien Shrine.
