From the Plaza Archives
"YOU KNOW YOU'RE A FANATIC WHEN . . ."
A rather amusing but slightly scary thread . . . if you do any of the following, you need to lend all your LOTR books to a friend, turn off the computer and go take a walk . . . *goes to take a walk*
Nakrut
You know you're addicted when . . .
the guy at the ticket counter knows what you are going to say before you even asks "lotr"
you run around in barefeet with a tunic and say you are a hobbit (which i do)
on your door you have painted on the door to Moria
when you are speaking to friends suddenly you start speaking Quenya
you have seen the movie 10 times or more . . .
all of your friends know that they must know stuff about lotr to be your friend
you have a shrine just for lotr stuff
That's some stuff anyone wanna add to it?
Formenos
How about....
You pour water into a bowl and try to see the future in it....
You try to walk (unsuccessfully) on snowdrifts when you see them...
You hide under a rock whenever you see a crow...
Tin-Lizzie
Let's see . . .
You name your kids Legolas, Arwen, Aragorn, etc.
You try to talk to Ravens
Your doorknob is in the middle of your door
Your'e convinced your ears are pointy (that's me!)
Your writing how you know your a Tolkein Fanatic on a Tolkein Fanatic's Website . . .
Lirulin
You start singing songs from the movie soundtrack or by the Tolkien Ensemble, in public. Loudly. (Sounds like me!! *singsong* I memorized the Song of Beren and Luthien, nyah nyah nyah.....sorry)
You know the answers to the every Test of Knowledge without even having to think, much less look it up.
You're thinking of starting a women's suffrage movement in Middle-earth. (just kidding)
Pippeness
and of course. . . you dig a hole in the side of a hill and take up permanent residence (much to your parents distress)
EVERYTHING turns into a conversation about something to do with Middle Earth
you carve your door into a circle
you have a gate saying "no entrance unless on party business" (or something)
you are arrested for smoking weed in public(that's my favourite)
you start eating god knows how many meals a day
you glue extra hair on your feet
or you may start wearing a pointy hat and carry a staff
you start naming all your new pets after characters (my latest is a baby bunny called Pippin)
when if you ask people if they've seen LOTR and they say no you are absolutely shocked (if my ex had seen it he may have had more of a chance)
when my ex rang me up he had to listen to all the riddles from riddles in the dark
when you start talking about LOTR with your horse riding instructor and anyone else how'll listen
when you have withdrawl symptoms from the movie/book
when everything has something to do with LOTR on it
when you punch someone if they refuse to call you something like Galadriel (i havn't done this yet)
and when you can think of so many things obsessed people do, it means your a little obsessed.
and a good one, me and my friend can recite the movie up to Bree (and its quite a lot really) and we didn't attempt any more (althuogh we probably could have)

You try to talk your librarians into going to FotR.. and taking you, too.
You make up this list when you should be doing math homework!
Gilraen
You wake up in the middle of the night, and realise the dream you were just having was neatly divided into differents Tolkien-related Topics, and that part of your dream brain was registering that though the Balrog board was doing quite well, the "Aragorn running to your rescue with a star on his brow in the middle of fierce battle" was still the hottest topic around (real story, ...!!!)
TubamanRH

Pip Reonyea
Hey, Ara, wasn’t it fun when we did that yesterday? We went to music and on the way, were pointing at people, yelling "Elf!" "Man!" "Orc!""Hobbit!"
Anyhow, here goes mine:
You insist your brother sits with and survey this site with you, and explain to him who everyone is.
You have imaginary battles with your friends, with invisible bows, arrows and swords.
You greet your friends with "A Elbereth Gilthonial!" and say good by with "Farewell, my friend, my captain, my King" and cross imaginary swords accross your chest.
You read carefully through the things that makes you a fanatic, and say things like "cool!" "Sounds like fun!" and "Oooh, I’ve got to try that!"
You think your friends look like elves half the time and orcs the other.
Pippeness
when my best friend goes home (and other times) she will mutter an elvish phrase (well not mutter) i will reply in english but something that sounds LOTRsie and stand with one hand raised and a kind of solemn expression like Galadriel when she farewells frodo. i also hav a ring that likes to slip off occasionally. . its my preccciioussss
Sare
got that cheesy ring off the bookmark.......ruined a perfectly good necklace becuase it had a silver chain.....and I haven’t taken it off since! The following are all things me (and Arrow) have done....

anouk
just for the record I DO eat 6 meals a day - even pre-fanatic!
i had three tolkien book checked out at the library and one on hold. all day at work i think up battle sequences. my husband is truly sick of my in-depth discussion as to why the books are essential to enjoy the movie - i know this is arguable - but i know for myself the movie would have been ho-hum if i had not read all the literature in years past.
i actually look like gollum in real life- i have poison oak all over my face
Pip Reonyea
Somebody said "During school at eleven you have a snack". Our break time goes over 11! Do not accuse me of being a hobbit!
Anyways, here we go again:
You borrow your friends LotR soundtrack and won’t give it back.
You’re sitting debating what Shakespeare play to do for GCSE drama and you wish you could do the hobbit.
You natter on endless to your family about the books and, despite being Tolkein fans themselves, they have no idea what you are talking about.
Eohdwyn
Okay, I actually had a dream about this website!! I’m really far gone! And I got the One Ring off a book mark too, and I wear it on a silver chain around my neck all the time!
Here’s some:
You make up your own system of runes and go around writing poems about ME in it! (I do this!)
You wear the One Ring around your neck and during your most boring class you fondle it and wish you could disappear. (I do this, too!)
You’re designing a sign for your door that will have "speak, friend, and enter" written on it in elvish, english, your own runes and in korean, too! (I'm also doing this!)
You moan that by the time RotK comes out you’ll be graduated from HIgh School and probably have to pay for it yourself, instead of your parents!
Your on this website forever when you should be practicing.
You debate things about LoTR with your family and on here and know the exact place in the book to find what you need to prove you’re right!
You wish your name was really Eowyn
You wish you could meet a guy who was named Faramir!
You seriously consider naming your future children Perigrin, Elanor, and Eowyn! (with a middle name of Brandybuck or Took!)
Anluan
when you start writing your homework in elvish
When you start singing the songs from the book out loud in public ( It was not me, you cant prove anything)
When you sit in your room waiting for the Dwarves to take you on a quest.
When you write out the book in your own handwriting
Lindeawen
You throw a big party every September 22nd (I have not done this yet, but am seriously considering it for this year)
The back of all your English tests are covered in Tengwar
When your friends say "I’m on pg. 205" you immediatly ask what they think of Glorfindel
You listen to the soundtrack every night going to sleep or you can’t fall asleep at all
Arwen
Ok... listen to this... On my mobilephone i write my friend as Frodo, Legolas, Saruman... and my homes name is Rivendell... the friend whos name is frodo has, on my phone, her home as Bag ends... that is to be obsessed.. or crazy?
Cheesypoof87
I’m glad I don’t have a cell phone, or I would end up doing that.
These are fun. My friend and i were coming up with funny things to say, from any movie, while in the car, like drivers ed. like, if someone’s having trouble switching lanes, tell them to "stay on target." like that fat guy from star wars.
Anna Greenleaf
I was standing near the window of the food-selling place at a horse event, and a lady bought a hot dog. She was buying it for someone else, so when asked if she wanted tomato sauce, she said "If they want it, they can come and get it" in exactly the same voice as Arwen’s "If you want him, come and claim him". It cracked me up for days.
TubamanRH
() You and 8 friends dress up as hobbits and skip class so you can eat at all the lunches at school.
() When your playing a sport/video game/in a fight you shout "the Shire!" and charge them.
And about the driver’s ed thing, some more would be
() swerving on the road and going "Ah, they got my stabilizer!"
() when someone else switches gears say "Luke, you’ve switched off your targeting computer"
Medieval_Ara
Or you charge across your school playing field wearing cloaks, swords and yelling a battle cry in front of half your school! (umm well people already thought we were strange!)
In science we thought Argon said aragorn Ore said orcs and when my teacher said ’what does minas eaqual’ the first thing i said was ’tirith’! Arghh!
Arwen
my swedishteacher thinks that I and frodo are totally insane.. on her classes we sit and write phrases from LotR all over ourselves... and on top of that... a few days ago... I tried to walk on snow.. im crazy! i did it barefoot!!!!
Eohdwyn
When you can quote passages from both LOTR and the Silmarillion.
When you go around quoting the Ring Poem, and people look at you strange and ask what you’re doing.

When you cut yourself you hiss "nasssty cruel steel!"
When people ask to borrow your set of LOTR you clutch it to your chest and go "NOoo, my precioussss!"
When you actually contemplate begging your parents to buy the LOTR DVD player.
When you actually do half of the things you read on this topic . . .

Pip Reonyea
I spent fffouuuurrrrr hours on the plaza yesterday, then at 11pm I realised i couldn’t spell anymore and had to go to bed. I was attacked by orcs in my dreams.
Sare
I woke up in a cold sweat last night and discovered I had throw my pillowcase off my bed.....thats what I get for reading about the battle of the last alliance right before going to bed. My parents claim I was shouting "Tangado a chadad!" (Elrond’s battle cry, it translates as "establish to hurling!")
Niphredil
You infuriate your French teacher by repeatedly using Quenyan pronunciation.
When counting something, you automatically begin: "minë, atta, neldë..."
You get indignant when anyone says "Elve" instead of "Elf".
When you tell your friend about a cute guy you met, they immediately enquire over the shape of his ears.
You suffer periods of great confusion in World History trying to work out where the history of Middle Earth fits into all of this, before remembering that it’s... well... you know... *deep breath*... not real.
Eohdwyn

You daydream about who would win one on one battles between your favorite characters.(that’s me - unintentional I might add)
Your wife actually offers to have your ring engraved in elvish script.
You commit acts of violence upon insensitive and loud movie goers that just don’t understand the cosmic importance of this release.
You’re actually willing to buy a Super NES so you can play the only even remotely cool LOTR game available.

When you spend the whole day with your friend pretending to be Slinker and Stinker, the two halfs of Gollum, and one of you has a back injury, and the two of you become one as the second half falls down and injures their back in the exact same place. Nasty Hobbitses.

You keep forgetting that you don’t live in Middle Earth, and start talking about yourself in the third person, calling yourself Pip of Rivendell or whatever your userf name is, all the time.

Your friends start calling you by a characters name as it is the only way to get a response out of you.
Your copies of Tolkien books take up over half the space on your bookshelf.
Your friends decide not to see the film and to just ask you instead bacause they know they will find out more.
Everyone at the pub offers to buy you a drink if you stop asking people whether Legolas should have brown or blond hair.
No one asks you what you did on your day off.

Nazkrut
you went out and bought all the glass mugs from burger king (i did that)
u wish there was a way you could actually become a hobbit, dwarf, wizard etc
Sare
Hobbits- just a little rogain on the feet, and an excessive use of a curling iron on your hair.
Elves- playdoh or silly putty for that pointy ear look, and always look down on people as if you are so far above them.
Dwarves- fake beards and bushy eyebrows are easy enough to find, and go around carrying an axe you named yourself, and eat a lot of red meat.
Wizards- grab a large stick, get a pointy hat, and mumble phrases that take hours to translate and find all the meanings of.
Men- act like yourself, except try to carry a weapon anywhere you go.
Orc- go live near a volcano for a year. Never wash hair. Stay up all night for the lovely "bloodshot eyes" look. Then go steal armour that doesn’t fit and wear it. Oh yes, as a final touch, kill anything that moves. Anything.
I should write a book...."How to look like you stepped out of Middle Earth"
Eohdwyn
Sounds like a great idea!! How about "How to Smell and Sound like you just stepped out of Middle Earth"?
for the Gollum smell: odor of raw fisssshesss; mildew; dank cave smells;
for the Gollum sound: add exorbitant amounts of ’s’s everywhere, i e, nasssssty cruel steel!; mutter "preciousssss" to yourself on occasion; hiss "thief, we hates it forevers!" at the person who stole the last donut; Refer to yourself in the imperial "we";
For the Strider smell: essence of years of lying about in leaves and rocks; don’t wash for weeks on end; streak dirt on your face to enhance smell;
For the Strider sound: sound grim, no matter what you say; Address people in thee’s and thou’s; Sound imperial on occasions; and break out into poetry every once in awhile, for good measure. You might want to memorize the Lay of Leithien.
Pip Reonyea
. . .When you get so sulky when the plaza’s not online that you actually practise your musical instrument for two and a half hours, try it again and cry when it fails
You keep getting told off by your friends and family for saying the Ring rhyme (Three rings for the elven kings under the sky, etc)
Eohdwyn
You get funny looks when you start reciting the Ring Rhyme.
You murmer to yourself "Gil-galad was an elven king; of him the harpers sadly sing . . ." when your mind starts wandering in English class, and also get funny looks. I get alot of funny looks . . .
Anna the great
for the Sauron look:
always have an evil crackle in your voice
make it seem as though you hate everybody
make it sound like u think ur smarter than everyone
order people around as though they are ur orc slaves.
wear alot of black
carry something around that has a picture of a red eye on it.
carry a weapon always
Tin-Lizzie
Ohh!Ohh! Also for the Sauron look you have to cut off one of your fingers (painful, yes but worth looking like Sauron? . . . okay, no) And work on your Evil Laugh!
Eohdwyn
Howabout the hero look? Cut off an appendage, preferably a finger or a hand. Call yourself one-hand, or 9-fingered. Wear blood-stained clothes, carry a sword, make sure all your family is dead and you must avenge their deaths. You don’t have to marry your sister, but it’s an option.
Jækü
...you have absolutely no idea where "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here" came from, but are convinced that it should be placed squarely on either the entrance to Barad Dur, or Morannon.
Nazkrut
You talk to trees and claim that they talk back to you
you have made your own istari staff
on your b-day u plan to have a lotr party (of course thats obvious)
Luth
*you get all excited when the cold weather has frozen the giant snow drifts around the farm because now you can pretend you are an elf and walk ON the snow (woo hoo)
*you start looking for people who haven’t seen the movie and offer to take them because the people at the movie theatre are starting to look at you funny
*you beg the manager of the theatre to let you move in for a few weeks, just until FotR is done playing
*you take the soundtrack to the gym with you to work out with
*you have to really work at talking yourself out of the LOTR DVD player
*you have the ring replicas by applause
*ebay becomes your one stop shopping place for LOTR collectibles
*you start this list with the intention of only a few and the next thing you know, you are listing everything you’ve done and realize that maybe people are right about you
*you find screensave downloads that have dialogue from the movies and then sit and watch and listen because you desperately need a FotR fix
Cattie
When you scribble on all your walls "l luv LOTR"
When you stare fervently at the TV when a few seconds of the movie comes on
When in a maths lesson you try to stop thinking about LOTR but cant so you end up with heaps of homework
When you run around the house screaming when one of your books goes missing
When you take LOTR to school with you for 5 seconds of reading
When you paint your room to look like Bag End
Frodo
* You have Elijah Wood as a background picture*
* You have already convinced about 10 people to join lotrplaza, and you are not stopping there*
* You are a proud member of T.I.S.A.P.A*
* You are planning to go and see the movie again, even though your sister is going to get it on dvd in a week or so, you are willing to spend money that you need in something really not important*
Sare
I have an easier way to dress up as Sauron....get your favorite shirt, spray paint it bright red, add lots of black squiggly lines, and a large () in black down the center. When people ask you what on earth you are turn to them slowly and say..."You who have seen the EYE!"
TubamanRH
() Even though you have sworn to stay drug free all your life your just waiting until you can legally go out and buy a long wooden pipe and pipeweed to see if you can blow smoke rings
Alkthon
I saw some ravens and thought ’ oh no! sarumans spies I’ve got to hide!’
Also I have been named Lord of the Trousers by my friends due to the elvish looking pattern on them. Kinda like on the doors of Moria, my mate says they were forged in Khazad-dum but I say they were sewn by elven maidens.
Nazkrut
you dont make footprints in the snow or at least try not to
you grow a very long beard
you recite spells and claim that they worked
you bought a real sword and are now practicing
you throw parties everyday
you make your face look deformed and stick staples on your nose
