My friends aren't really that into LotR or anything similar, so I usually keep it under my hat.

All my friends don't like LotR so I usually don't talk much about it... some of them watched it to make me happy, but I don't want to annoy them so I just keep my obsession for myself

Well that's what I do now! When I did talk about it,either my friends looked at me like I was crazy or said really stupid things just to see how I would react. (because I have to admit, I do react quite strongly everytime someone says something stupid about LotR ) So after a lot of teasing, I have learned to shut up. (although it pains me sometime )

I and my friends easily can talk any movie we want to. However, you know where to stop or else it gets really annoying.

I get that ALL the time at school. Almost everything I like most people don't. A lot of my school friends don't like LOTR it drives me NUTS!! I can only express my feelings online too. I don't think a lot of my friends know who Sean Bean is either so, I'm kinda disappointed in them

But you know what that's why we have eachother here online.

I know it's a good feeling... somehow I can't understand how you couldn't like LotR I mean it has so much content there's something for everyone in it

Not sure if I've replied here...

Anyway, I don't have many friends who like LotR as much as I do. Even the ones that did like LotR have moved on to other things because they've finished the books, all the movies have come out, etc. The only place I can really talk about my LotR fandom is online.

I was at camp last month, and we had a little activity to introduce everyone in my cabin to each other. We would get into groups of 2 and tell each oher about ourselves, then we'd go in front of everyone and tell everyone about the other person in the group. Like I'm in a group with Jane, I tell the group about Jane and Jane tells about me.
Well, Jane asked me if I had any obsessions. I said LOTR. So Jane told everyone, quote, "She's obsessed with Lord of the Rings, but that's ok because we all have our little obsessions." I was like "What do you mean 'that's ok?'" Rawr!" not outloud, though. lol. One of the girls in the cabin did say that was cool that I like LOTR. lol

I totally talk about it with my friends, whether they like it or not. I've actually convinced my one friend who really didn't want to to see the movies (YAY!) and she's going to come over and we're going to watch them. My one close friend (who is also my cousin) is just as obsessed as me. I also have a guy friend who might even be MORE obsessed than me. But I think it's having a positive effect on, even though they're so practiced at ignoring me that every time I go, "Well, in the Lord -" they groan and go, "Don't get her started!" to whoever made the comment that 'got me started'. It's actually kind of fun.

Hehe...my friends/family/acquaintances have a simliar reaction. They just walk away whenever I talk about LotR. And then my mom wonders why I spend so much time on here with people who actually like LotR.

Most my friends love LOTR, so it can be fun to talk about. All the other friends of mine think I'm weird 'cause I've read the books so many times.

One of my friends, has seen the movies, but doesn't really like it. My other friend says the movies are way to long to watch and she hates reading. But I still play LotR with er and we talk about it. Althoug I usually just talk about Legolas.

My friends aren't exactly into Lotr. I've managed to persuade one of my friends to read Fotr and she enjoyed it. Now I have to lend her the others... But as for my other friends, well let's say it'll be completely useless to ask them to read the books. Some of them have seen the movies and loved them, but out of my group of friends I'm the Lotr obsessed freak...*shrug*

Regretfully no. I think I somehow created several copies of my personality and each one has its own interests. The one that has the LOTR fandom is restricted to A-U and the only friend that likes LOTR even now.

I was cured all right.

I have 3 friends that are some-what obsessed with LotR, and i talk about it openly at school, like all my teachers think i'm crazy, and most of my friends. i think that they are jus jealous! hehehe. i have a twin sister who is completely obsessed(though, not as much as me ) with LotR, so we talk about it and watch the movies all the time. but my mom doean't really pay attention, and her and my "second" mom and dad still don't understand how me, my sis, and one of my best friends can watch the movies everday after school for 3 months straight! some people just don't understand. but here is where i express myself to the MAX because i never do it enough at school, though i do it often. i like just looking at the LotR book-section @ borders. it's really fun. i ike seeing other ppl who shop in that section too because i know they prolly like LotR alot 2! hehehe

I talk about my obsession to my friends all the time, and I think I annoy them sometimes... all my friends have a mild liking for it (I find it nearly impossible to make friends with someone who doesn't like it) but I have no friends who are obsessed. I'll mention ancient Middle Earth history, and they'll be like " ". It's rather frustrating. I have spent so much time studying and thinking about LotR that I have a rather large store of knowledge, as well as very well defined opinions and ideas about it, but no one to share them with.

That's one of the reasons I joined A-U, though I was nervous about doing so. I couldn't stand not having anyone to obsess with. I felt like hitting my head against the wall sometimes, because I had all this stuff in my head and no vent for it. My old best friend was obsessed, but that faded away like our friendship, so it was something I once had and have lost. So here on A-U, I love joining in the discussions and finding other people who are as fanatical as I am. 8)
