Description I was in grade 9 when the first lord of the rings movie came out on video. I was young and impressionable...-oh wait ... I still am.... dam. anyways, You know the part of the first movie when we first see legolas?-Its right before the meeting with Elrond in Rivendell. As we watched each of the characters arrive for the meeting, i thought i saw one that looked like Leonardo Decaprio...(PLEASE!!!!!you have to know that when I first see people, they look different than they do after I get a better look at them, so just bear with me here!...cuz i know that Leo and Orly don't look anything alike ) anyways I didn't hear what his name was, so I nicnamed him pretty boy.Basically everyine who has known me since grade 9 ins probably nodding their heads right now.
Thus, the craze began...
My friend mandy and I decided that we were in love with anything that had to do with LOTR. We became elves (in other words we convinced ourselves and each other that we were elves and nobody was gonna say a word against it), and we printed off every bit of Elvish we came across on the net so we could learn it. In fact, We can still speak Elvish to this day **...*blinks* What? it's a really neat language! I learnt how to say things like "go kiss an orc",and "your head is empty"! (btw, if you want to know some disses in elvish -lemme know! Iv'e got some really great ones.)...I...** also *face turns bright pink and slowly becomes a darker shade of red* ...pronounced...myself... Legolas' girlfriend. We even did our hair to match Legolas'.
Then, the real craziness began. yeah, (theres more) We started to collect EVERYTHING we could find including: pictures of all of the characters, as well as any pictures of the various LOTR merchandise and New Zealand, the very secret diaries of each of the characters (via the internet) *pets the internet*, movie mistakes-though it was only to say that half of them were crap...and they pissed us off anyways- we printed off copies of the entire script from each movie,*pets school printer* *glances around to see if anyone noticed* bought all the books, became convinced that gollum was living in tianas basement......did she even have a basement?... bought elf ears from Spencers as well as anything else we could possibly find including (ironically enough) a document entitled "too much LOTR" that listed all of the signs for people who are LOTR obsessed. I am sorry to say that my LOTR stuff began with a nice folder that was stapled all over the edges so my stuff didn't fall out. Next the folder was upgraded to a RED duotang. (same year this became my fav colour), then it went to a 1'' binder, then a 2'' binder, then a 3'' binder, and finally (reaching the year 2006) a whopping 4'' binder.
...O_O...
I am also sorry to say that this big long explanation took probably about 10 minutes to read and I have therefore wasted a little over 10 minutes of your life.(j/k) *sighs* To quote one Ritzu Sohma: I AM SOOO SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I APOLIGIZE TO THE WOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for reading! and again, Sorry for the wasted minutes!...that is of course unless you don't mind...

I was 11 when the first movie came, and I recognize myself in this. I wasn't obsessed with only Legolas, but everyone (even if Aragorn is my favourite). And I want to know disses in elvish!
The picture is very good

haha i vaguely remember the disses...I have a 4 inch binder of crap that my friends and I put together in grade 9 when we first started obsessing over it! The only two I remember are go kiss an orc (Auta miqula orqu) and your head is empty (dolle na lost), but the funniest one that I don't actually remember the elvish version of was 'you're ugly and your mother dresses you funny'.

So.... I used to frequent Elfwood before I came to dA... Did you post this on there too? It looks a lot like something I saw on there.

no. just DA. But I drew this one from one that someone else had done. So you may have seen the original. My mom found me a 'hobbit journal that has sketches on some of the pages in it and its very beautifully put together. I didn't have the heart to ruin it with actual journal entries (I don't have consistently nice writing lol) so using the original as a reference (please don't confuse this with tracing especially as mine is actually a smaller version than the original. I look at the original and I draw what I see), I drew this into the journal instead.

you can speak Elvish? cool. wish I could. I can only say the few things in the movie and a few phrases that I learned from fanfictions. that I've read. I can say "thank you" and "well met" and "young one"I can also say "my Love" in quenya and Sindarin, but not much else.
