You know you're addicted to LOTR when...

(I got this from blogthings.com; the list was longer so I only kept ones that apply to me)

You start quoting from the movie as part of regular conversation.

You've crammed up your computer's memory by downloading every single screensaver from www.LordoftheRings.net  (Not screensavers, but images that I've made into my screensaver) 

Your Lord of the Rings shirt has not yet met the washing machine. (Not very often, and the dryer only once.  I've also considered getting a second, identical shirt, just in case...)

You don't have enough money to buy groceries for the next week before payday, yet (in December I will charge $30+ ) on your credit card to get the (Return of the King Extended Edition dvds). Who needs food anyway? 

You refer to parts of your town as parts of Middle-Earth.

You sometimes let your hair go curly after a wash, and then run around the house in bare feet yelling "I'm a hobbit!" (I could do that actually)

You refer to regular elephants as oliphaunts.

You actually managed to read the Silmarillion without being tempted to give up on this whole middle earth malarkey. (I've started it!  I really will finish it someday!)

You haven't removed the soundtrack from your CD player since you bought it. (Ok, for a while I had Jars of Clay in, but otherwise it's been one of the 3 soundtracks)

You have sssudenly developed a hisssing lisssp every time you sssay the letter ssss.

You have begun calling your friends or animals my precioussss.

You happily traveled over an hour to the next town to see "it" because that theater has a better sound system than the one 5 minutes down the road. (I'd do the drive in again, that was the best way to see it!)

You know The LoTR history better then your family history.

You have a mouse named Frodo, a bird named Gollum, and a dog named Gandalf. And that cat that keeps coming around to be petted is Legolas.  (LOL I really do call one of my cats Legolas sometimes, and he just jumped in my lap.  My fish are named Viggo and Legolas)

When you sing in the shower, it's always about Gil-Galad or hobbit walking songs...(Or some other soundtrack song is in my head)

Whenever you get a chance, you burst into song. Preferably one that has more than 20 verses.

You change your name by deed poll to a Tolkien character and seriously consider naming your children after LOTR characters.

You cannot see a beer without blurting out "It comes in pints? I'm getting one!"

You just can't keep yourself from saying "nobody tosses a Dwarf" at inappropriate moments.

A shadow and a threat is growing in your mind.

You stand in the doorway and tell your cat that he 'Can not pass'.

Spending $35 at the grocery store seems expensive but its Perfectly fine to spend $70 on the Hardcover LOTR book with Alan Lee Illustrations. (It will be mine, oh yes, eventually it will be mine!)

You start keeping a LOTR Journal to write poems and inklings in. (or a livejournal so you can talk about it, even if no one else reads it)

You know what Entmoot, Ent draught, or an Ent is for that matter

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are addicted to Lord of the Rings.
