I thought it was fun and deserved re-posting. Thanks, Ëarwin!</p>
<div class="post-body">
<p>You know you&#8217;re a fantasy nut when&#8230;</p>
<p>You and your friends speak *your* language, not english</p>
<p>You are shocked when you meet someone who has never seen <em>The Lord of the Rings</em></p>
<p><em></em>All you want for your birthday is the latest christian fantasy book, a slice of cake, and thou</p>
<p>You go around offering to teach people elvish (Sindarin or Quenya? One lump or two?)</p>
<p>When you read a verse in the Bible and shout &#8220;That&#8217;s like my character, when&#8230;&#8221; (has happened, by the way!!)</p>
<p>You are past your fifteenth birthday and still read &#8216;Grimm&#8217;s fairy tales&#8217; for inspiration</p>
<p>You drink tea out of your favorite &#8216;alice in wonderland&#8217; oversized teacup (I have one! =D)</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t watch a good fantasy movie without writing your own fanfiction to go with it</p>
<p>You drool every time you hear Howard Shore&#8217;s music</p>
<p>You are adamant that Legolas does NOT look like a girl!</p>
<p>You are shopping for your archery things and you keep saying &#8220;I want Susan&#8217;s Arm Guard in Prince Caspian&#8221; and &#8220;I want Legolas&#8217;s quiver!&#8221;</p>
<p>You are determined to name your little girl Galadriel and your little boy Eragon (or Sienna and Eristor)</p>
<p>Someone asks you what your favorite animal is and you say &#8220;DRAGONS!&#8221;</p>
<p>You hardly know the meaning of the word &#8216;non fiction&#8217;</p>
<p>You search the Bible looking for names to name your fantasy characters (I found two, perfect for stupid henchmen &#8211; Lud and Phut! they were actually doomed cities.. haha! But forget Mahershalalhashbaz)</p>
<p>You are more excited about the new Vision Forum dvd &#8216;Science Fiction: Reclaiming the Genre for Christ&#8217; than you are about the new Pixar movie (so that one&#8217;s more Sci-fi &#8211; I love that, too!)</p>
<p>Every time you wear a ring, you call it your precious (sss)</p>
<p>Your favorite exclamations are &#8220;Fool of a Took!&#8221; and &#8220;Forth Eorlingas!&#8221;</p>
<p>You MUST have everything with a Celtic design or leaves on it, because it&#8217;s positively Elvish</p>
<p>Every time you see an eagle you shout &#8220;Gwaihir!&#8221;</p>
<p>You respect moths for some odd reason&#8230;</p>
<p>You speak elvish more often than english (wishful thinking on my part)</p>
<p>You see someone with exceptionally pale skin and are convinced they are a Glimpse</p>
<p>Every time you and your sibling say something at the exact same time you shout &#8220;Nock and Bolt syndrome!&#8221; (in me and my little sister&#8217;s case, we go &#8220;KYS!&#8221; for &#8216;Kayle and Yane Syndrome!&#8217;)</p>
<p>When a star is shining especially bright you say &#8220;Second star to the right, and straight on till morning&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Your dearest wish is that you could fly (always has been, always will be)</p>
<p>You think that you have both elvish AND hobbit somewhere in your family tree&#8230; (Glorfindel and Daisy Cotton, for instance&#8230;)</p>
