To my fellow LOTR fans

Is it a requirement to wear a pocket protector to watch it?

Which Middle Earth race (other than Men) do you most identify yourself with and why?

 

For myself, I'd say Hobbit, as I'm short, generally jolly, and I dont like changes in my daily routine!

Hey Valerie,

Shows how long ago I read the trilogy.  When I saw the name of your thread, I tried to figure the meaning of LOTR, and all I could come up with was "Love On The Rocks"

Duh, duh, duh!

I personally like Gollum.  Poor ole Gollum turned out to be so nice.  I named a pet crawdad after him.

I took a quiz once that said I was Galadriel....so whatever she is, I guess that's what I identify myself with.

I've taken quizes and I'm always an Elf. Legolas, Elrond, Arwen to be specific. But I would say ELf because they love the world they live in and feel such deep sorrow and such deep happiness. They love to sing ad do it often and they're culture is amazing.

I would have to identify with the Giant Eagles. Because they fly over the land and stay above the problems of the Earth. When they do get involved they change the course of events.

Elf. Just because they're cool, they know stuff, they sing nice things and live for a long time

Though I suppose being like Tom Bombadil (whose race isn't given) would be rather fun too!

I would have to say the mens race. Because I am just as fallible as them

I guess, it would be like the dwarfs. I can be a bit grumpy and impetous like them, and "dig" into things i shouldn't at times.

My wife said i do look a little like Gimli..lol...but i'm not that short.

I forget, were Ewoks in LOTR?  What about Klingons? 

Interesting... I don't know who I can identify with, but I'm interested in taking one of these quiz'... I recently bought the movie and am going to start reading the books, so I guess I'm a new LOTR fan... But yeah, where can I take one of these quizzes? Thanks.

Hi RavonRayne! Some links to quizes are here:

Thanks for the links, Lizzi! Now I just need to see the movie.....

It doesn't show the pics for some weird reason.... can you say who you were?

Have you read the books? REad them first

I would have to be an elf, and not just because I'm pretty (actually, the opposite) and tall (I'm short), but because I know that my final destination is Valinor/Heaven.

Also because I am "so gay and so sad" (Sam), and my friends call me an elf because of my hairstyle. I'm always grave and serious, but when I sing, I just start smiling. I think the only time I'm all right is when I'm singing "streets lined with gold" or something.

I've memorized "Aniron" and "May it Be", the songs on the LOTR soundtrack, and I'm working on the "Lament to Gandalf". It's hard to sing the words the way that Elizabeth person does.

I've downloaded seven Tolkein fonts from the web and use them regularly on school projects, etc.

I have also read the trilogy 7 times (although they're not really a trilogy), the Silmarillion 6 times (working on 7) the Hobbit plenty, and I'm reading Unfinished Tales as well.
Besides the Left Behind series....

I was Galadriel...here's a different quiz. Same result.

I was given Nenya, the Ring of Adamant, but I remained untouched by the Shadow. I gave shelter, gifts and advice to the Fellowship, but I turned green while they were around. My bad. In the movie, I'm played by Cate Blanchett.<br><b>|| <a href="http://www.xirculo.com/quiz/elflotr" target="_blank">Which Lord of the Rings Elf are you?</a> @ <a href="http://www.xirculo.com" target="_blank">X.com</a> ||</b></center>

Thanks for the quizzes Lizzie.. The first one, I was Gandalf, second I was Legolas, and the third one I was&nbsp;Aragorn the elf one, I was Arwen.. I guess I'm one confused character LoL.. I understand the Legolas, Arwen&nbsp;&amp; Aragorn, but don't understand the Gandalf one. Oh well...&nbsp;
