Ha Ha Ha!  I am not alone!  Resistance is useless; you will be assimilated!  
Don't look from any help from this quarter...

>I have seen the film twice, and I cannot put down the books.

Yes, yes..only make it three times, and trying to figure out how to sneak 
out and see it again, since my friends and loved ones think I am stark 
staring nuts to sit through a three-hour film even once...


>Argh! Now I have a torch to carry for Aragorn as well as Sirius
>Black!!

I hereby petition Tabouli for a cool acronym for those of us who find 
ourselves burdened with not one but TWO fictional crushes.  Still hoping 
that somehow Mr. Mortenson will get cast in Sirius's role, so that we can 
become even further confused...

I even have a mini-torch to carry for Boromir (more available
>than Aragorn, even though he is dead.)

OK, you're going to require therapy for this one. :)

I could even take a fancy to
>Faramir....

He's a much better character than Boromir, IMO.  His romance also gets more 
"screen time" in the book that Aragorn's so it seems more real, and 
strangely enough, I like Eowyn, whereas I want orcs to slice off Arwen's 
head.  Legolas is too pretty, but I find Elrond fairly decent, though, 
especially after seeing the movie.

0%.  :)  So you take what you can get, and have a rampaging fantasy life.

The scene in RotK where Aragorn tells Eomer that Eowyn only thinks she loves 
him (Aragorn), because she sees adventure in him, but she doesn't really 
know him--I ask you, where are you going to find that kind of awareness of 
the feminine personality and character analysis in a real guy?  (OK, my best 
friend was like that.  It was one of the reasons he was my best friend.  But 
he was gay.)  Even if a guy _wants_ to understand women, he usually doesn't. 
  And what guy wouldn't want to believe that every female in the world is in 
love with him based on his stunning good looks?

Nope, not gonna happen.

If you find a plan, even a 12-step one, let me know!  I have totally and 
irrevocably lost it!

>Suzanne, whose Elven name is apparently "Indil"

OK, I don't want to learn to speak Elvish, but I would like to know my Elven 
name...
