Here is a typical list of symptoms:
1. You can't even say the word "Legolas" without either: sighing, swooning, giggling, squealing or adding the prefix "my darling" etc...
2. "It's not a locker- it's a shrine to Legolas!!"
3. You can write "Legolas" in runes. You can't write anything else in runes at all...
4. You have memorised his entire script from the movie (not that that's exactly a difficult task...)
5. You have written countless fanfics involving a mysterious girl with an uncanny similarity to yourself who appears on Middle Earth for no apparent reason- and Legolas, who immediately pledges his undying love to this girl. (who is probably an elf as well, a thousand times more beautiful than Arwen, can fight better than Eowyn and do more magic than Gandalf...)
6. "Who cares about the plot? There's that cute elf guy in it!!"
7. For you, only one hairstyle is acceptable.
Next 4 are thanks to Anna Evenstar:
8. Your computer is overflowing with Legolas pics.
9. You run around screaming at people about being an elf.
10. You chant his lines in people's
ear (and lose a lot of friends by
doing so...)
11. You chant elvish in people's ear (Havodad, Legolas!)
This one from Kristen
12. You learned computer languages
(html specifically) just so you could
create an entire web-shrine to Legolas.
OK, there are many many more, but I can't be bothered to type 'em all up! e-mail me if you've got any ideas! jesta_ariadne@mail.com
Now, the tough one! Do you actually know anything about Legolas and his world? OTHER than the fact that he's totally fit and has quite a few fit friends too!!!
1. Where is Legolas' home?
2. What is Legolas' family connection with Galadriel?
3. Who out of the fellowship becomes his (perhaps unlikely?) closest friend?
4. What is his sort of alias, other name, that he's sometimes called?
5. True or false: Elrond is Legolas' father.
6. True or false: a great dream of Legolas' is to go to Fanghorn forest.
7. HAVE YOU EVEN READ THE BOOKS????
The Answers...
1. Mirkwood.
2. Ha! Trick question. There isn't one, sorry! (I mean, unless you go waaaay back to the origins of the elf race or something....)
3. Gimli (a dwarf!)
4. Greenleaf. (toughie maybe... depends how recently you've read the book...)
5. FALSE!
6. True!
7. I should hope so!!! If not, go read 'em now, K?
There may be more of these coming... any suggestions? Again, e- me! jesta_ariadne@mail.com
