Are You a Fantasy Nut?
This entry was posted on Thursday, June 04. 2009 and is filed under Fantasy,General.
Apparently I'm more one-track minded that I wanted to admit. I've been slogging out a series over at A Christian Worldview of Fiction that dissects The Shack, which has left me with no time to carry on the rebuttal to the anti-fantasy position some Christians take, as important as I believe it to be. I hope to come back to that topic next week.
In the meantime, I thought you'd get a chuckle out of something I found today—"You Know You're a Fantasy Nut When ..." posted by Ëarwen and used by permission, as you'll see at the bottom:
You know you're a fantasy nut when...Credit - Originally posted by Ëarwen (Ay-are-wehn) Herion (hair-ee-on) at Thoughts of a Shieldmaiden.
You and your friends speak *your* language, not english
You are shocked when you meet someone who has never seen The Lord of the Rings
All you want for your birthday is the latest christian fantasy book, a slice of cake, and thou
You go around offering to teach people elvish (Sindarin or Quenya? One lump or two?)
When you read a verse in the Bible and shout "That's like my character, when..." (has happened, by the way!!)
You are past your fifteenth birthday and still read 'Grimm's fairy tales' for inspiration
You drink tea out of your favorite 'alice in wonderland' oversized teacup (I have one! =D)
You can't watch a good fantasy movie without writing your own fanfiction to go with it
You drool every time you hear Howard Shore's music
You are adamant that Legolas does NOT look like a girl!
You are shopping for your archery things and you keep saying "I want Susan's Arm Guard in Prince Caspian" and "I want Legolas's quiver!"
You are determined to name your little girl Galadriel and your little boy Eragon (or Sienna and Eristor)
Someone asks you what your favorite animal is and you say "DRAGONS!"
You hardly know the meaning of the word 'non fiction'
You search the Bible looking for names to name your fantasy characters (I found two, perfect for stupid henchmen - Lud and Phut! they were actually doomed cities.. haha! But forget Mahershalalhashbaz)
You are more excited about the new Vision Forum dvd 'Science Fiction: Reclaiming the Genre for Christ' than you are about the new Pixar movie (so that one's more Sci-fi - I love that, too!)
Every time you wear a ring, you call it your precious (sss)
Your favorite exclamations are "Fool of a Took!" and "Forth Eorlingas!"
You MUST have everything with a Celtic design or leaves on it, because it's positively Elvish
Every time you see an eagle you shout "Gwaihir!"
You respect moths for some odd reason...
You speak elvish more often than english (wishful thinking on my part)
You see someone with exceptionally pale skin and are convinced they are a Glimpse
Every time you and your sibling say something at the exact same time you shout "Nock and Bolt syndrome!" (in me and my little sister's case, we go "KYS!" for 'Kayle and Yane Syndrome!')
When a star is shining especially bright you say "Second star to the right, and straight on till morning..."
Your dearest wish is that you could fly (always has been, always will be)
You think that you have both elvish AND hobbit somewhere in your family tree... (Glorfindel and Daisy Cotton, for instance...)
If you would like, if you give me credit you can use these :) I don't mind!

I'll just have to put down my Astro Boy mug for a moment and correct a point here. If you have passed your fiftieth birthday and are still reading the brothers Grimm it is sure to be the complete original version, not any of the cut down versions for kids.
The choices for girls names are silly. My local Anglican rector had a better approach by naming his daughter Arwen.

Wow, smashing research referring to this good topic. Could please tell me how much time it takes? Just because I am willing to complete some music dissertation or probably it would be good to opt for the dissertation writing service. Thank you very much.
