1. When someone calls you ‘Precious,’ you inwardly wince
because you associate the word ‘precious’ with evil and the creepiness of
Gollum.
2. The letters ‘dh’ makes the ‘th’ sound in Elvish. So when
you read words like ‘adhere’, the word becomes ‘athere.’ You get bonus points
when you’re reading out loud and the audience gives you a blank look.
3. When you’re talking about what you want in a future
husband, the list becomes something like this: I want him to represent Jesus,
be good with little kids, (insert the rest of your list here) and he has to
look like (insert a LotR actor here)!
4. When you’re proud of the fact that you’ve lost track of
how many times you have watched Fellowship, Two Towers, and Return. (I’ve lost
track after twelve! :) )
5. When people ask which you would rather go to:
Middle-earth or Narnia, and your response is this: “Let me put it this way –
Narnia would be nice, Middle-earth is on my bucket list.”
6. When people say that the perfect couple doesn’t exist and
you immediately think of Aragorn/Arwen, Faramir/Éowyn, Sam/Rosie, or
Celeborn/Galadriel.
7. When you look outside, and you wonder if the woods you’re
looking at would be a secret entrance into the Shire’s forest or to Fangorn
forest.
8. It infuriates you beyond belief when people start to
confuse characters and you have to refer to them by other characters the actors
have portrayed; for example: Elrond as Agent Smith, Boromir as Ian from
National Treasure, and Arwen as ‘That really sappy lady that hisses on that
sappy version of Hulk.’
9. When you refuse to put your real state/country name on a
piece of paper or your Facebook/Twitter page, and you put Minas Tirith ,
Rivendell, Rohan, or the Shire instead.
10. When you only want a copy of the One Ring for a present.
11. When you choose a theme song for yourself, you choose
the song that plays when the Ringwraiths are riding to try and kill Frodo and
capture the One Ring.
12. When you find a page on Tumblr that counts down to when
the second Hobbit movie comes out – TO THE SECOND – and you sit there and just
watch the clock run down. (I think the page is called ‘In a hole in the
ground.’)
13. When someone mispronounces one of the LotR character’s
name, you take it personally.
14. When you can hear the LotR characters talking – not in
script – in your head.
15. When you’ve watched the movies so many times that you
watch the scenery or background actors because you know what the main
characters are doing every millisecond of the movies.
