okay, i have this extremely messed up crazy life and, well, i just need some help sometimes. none of my friends will ever listen to what i have to say, and i thought maybe you guys would. like now i am having a really tough time. so i hope this is okay for me to start this. he he.
okay, the other day one of my good friends told me that lotr has ruined my life. it made me really sad/mad that she would say that to my face when clearly lotr has made my life happier.and then her and another of my friends told me that this little lotr obsession will just pass. that i'll be over it by next year. little??? no. i dont think so. i LOVE lotr and would never give it up for anything. i hope not. they said that i will be over it like i got over my egypt/the Mummy obsession. but they just dont get it. or maybe i just dont get it. i am so confused!! so after my friends said all that stuff to me i went home and cried and wrote hate poems about them. writing really helps me. and so does typing.
is this all boring to you? if it is i will stop....... but any help i can get i will take freely. any ways to get back at all my lotr hater friends would be great too. i'll prolly post new problems daily. he he. i seem to have a lot of problems. well i better go for now.

Keep posting. Besides, it'll be good for you.
It depends with LOTR. My friend said that it's taking over my life, but I think that was retaliation because I said that training was taking over her life. It is.
But are you still focused on God? For that matter, are you a Christian? These may seem weird questions, but if you end up worshipping LOTR (it sounds harsh, I know, but if you hold that to be the most important thing in your life, you're worshipping it) - you won't enjoy it. As Mum said to me this morning - we were reading St. Aug's Confessions - LOTR might become a bit bitter if I don't recentre my life around God. I'm not brainwashed, what she said was perfectly sensible and also true. And if you have God as the most important thing, your life will be enhanced by an appreciation of LOTR and LOTR will be more fun with God.
Now, I have to go, but if I sound crazy, you can PM me and tell me so, and ask any questions you have about this post I've just made.
Ta ta.

Well, I've just realized after reading Elentari's post, that I am rather obbessed with LotR. Need to get back on track. Dang it, now I feel all guilty!

I'm going to try - try - to give up BD and Imladris for Lent. (Yes, I know that's it's already started.) But it's going to be mighty hard...you guys are all so much fun to be with. Then again, maybe I'll just give up BD. Most of you are Christian...and my friends. So I'll just stop checking replies to the topics on BD. My box is going to grow large...

Most of the people I talk to now just roll thier eyes at any mention of LOTR. Sometimes I worry about it passing, but then again, who cares? We're all having fun with our obsessions at the moment, and although it'd be v sad if the day ever comes when I don't think of it almost constanlty, it'll just be because there's something new, or that the LOTR obsession has run it's course. I doubt that it'll pass quickly, if it ever even does, but if it does then at the time it won't bother you. At the moment my attitude is that I love LOTR, and wouldn't ever even consider the truth in people's opinions who say stuff like that- they only say it because they don't understand. Just like I don't understand other people's obsessions. Don't let other people's opinions on it bother you, if they can't see that it's made you happier then that's their problem. Maybe they'll find something they love as much as we love LOTR, but if they can't get the same kick out of something that all of us do out of LOTR, then I feel sorry for them. It could be that they're jealous of it. I might be talking rubbish though. Sometimes I find it hard to tell.

whoa. thanks for the help guys. i am at school right now. and this computer that i am on is being really slow. the words appear like 5 seconds after i type them. it is funny. he he.
Elentari- i am a Christian and i am still focused on God. I definately dont worship LOTR, i worship God. God is the most important thing in my life right now. so what you said makes perfect sense to me. and no you are not crazy. what exactly is Lent??(i am not hugely religious. actually i just go to youth group an wednesdays and pray at home. so i'm not really religious)
moving on now......... i told myself the other day that i need to stop talking about LOTR so much to my friends. i dont know exactly what that does for me, but it just makes me feel better. i dont even know why. i guess i am just weird. this computer is so slow and it is really annoying. well i have to go for now but i will post more later.
