You've read LOTR meer than once, to the surprise and disgust of your peers. (Note: I think most LOTR fans have read LOTR several times... - Nevermore)

Your teachers even tell u u need to lighten up on LOTR.
When you're helping your little brother with his himework and it says "The Lord of the Rings" u want to frame that paper when he gets it back.
When that homework paper says "The Hobbit" on the other side u don't know which side to frame facing out and decide to rotate it every week of so.
When u can't find your LOTR CD (Heavan forbid) u 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 uur lecture on how Tolkien, not Jackson, was the creator, and how Jackson majorly screwed some things up.

When your "friend" says she's tired of hearing u talk about it u slaan, smack her and continue talking.
When people say you're obsessed u say: "And proud of it!" the way Frodo does and slaan, smack a mug down on a table.
The tiniest things remind u of LOTR, like the way the mirror u got for Christmas that has the lights that reflect all the way back makes your eyes look like Galadriel's.
of the way some people have Hobbit-hair (which makes u wonder if they have hairy feet)
When you're watching TV and they even toon a picture of something from LOTR for a nanosecond u can tell exactly where it came from, and what's going on, even if u only glance up to see it and there's no sound to it.
When u see that picture u turn the volume WAY up and pay close attention to that comercial from then on.
When u see a word that looks anything like something from LOTR u read it as that word, like when u see Fodor's Map of the Caribbean (?) u read it as Frodo's...
u spend your time copying poems from the books.
u have a portion of your bookshelf dedicated to Tolkien, but for some reason Tolkien boeken seem to be scattered all over your bedroom, and not one is in the Tolkien Shrine.
