You know you are hobbit-obsessed when...

[dreamflower]

You are watching Landscaper's Challenge, and they mention the names of some plants, and all you can think of is "Wouldn't those make good hobbit names?" Photinia Boffin, Euphorbia Bracegirdle, Calla Brandybuck?

What can I say? Some people have a one-track mind.

Hey, consider it research for your stories. It's not an obsession, it's a hobby. Just keep saying that over and over and over until someone you know believes it.

I believe you!

It would. Flowers make beautiful names.

[dreamflower]

Absolutely. They just sounded so perfect...

[ansostuff.livejournal.com]

Lol! That would make good names indeed.

[dreamflower]

They would, wouldn't they? As soon as the guy said "euphorbia" my ears pricked up...

*lol*
And I thought *I* were hopeless! Since I started reading LotR in february 2003, I haven't stopped again!
That reminds me of another saying, which probably fits quite well here: "I do not suffer from LotR-obsession - I enjoy every minute of it." And that is surely true for all of us!

Yes, I suppose I am hopeless. *grin* Isn't it a shame? *grin harder*

I like that saying. You suppose I can find it on a T-shirt somewhere?

Re: Kitty

Oh yes, it is a *very big* shame. And I bear it with great pride *grin from ear to ear*

I haven't seen T-shirts with this, but I know a shop where they print our own photos on T-shirts, so I suppose you could look for such a shop and ask them to print you this saying on a T-shirt. Maybe I should do the same, it would be fun! And my friends already knew I'm a bit insane ;-)

Re: Kitty

[dreamflower]

Go for it! And *I* don't think you are at all insane!

It's not an obsession, it's a hobbithobby!

LOL, I do that too! Or I'll think, "Hm, is that something Sam would have planted at Bag End?" I'll also go to garden websites, or look up sites about birds (since most of the male hobbits, at least in the working class have bird names), to find more hobbit names also.

[dreamflower]

Well, now, I know of Robin Smallburrow; I used that as an excuse to name a couple of my male working class hobbits after birds, but what other canon bird names were used?

[gamgeefest.livejournal.com]

You should know that: Peregrin (falcon)

Hm, I'd have to go through the book to find any others, if there are any, now I think of it, lol. But oh well, the lasses are named after the flowers, so it's only appropriate the lads be named after birds, don't you think?

[dreamflower]

Well *smacks head* duh! Of course! But Pip is scarcely working class, so I guess that's why I passed him over. Still, two at least makes enough precedence. So I've used a couple myself.
