ZOMG Insomnia, You Bitch

Apr 21, 2008 04:37

It's 4:37am, and I'm still up. It's quite possible that my insomnia is only being made worse by my incessant surfing of every LOST website known to man, woman and smoke monster. Why can't I try warm milk like normal people? Even my cat, who was snoring peacefully at my side a second ago, just threw his head back and yelled at me. It's bad when ( Read more... )

I wish I could help you on the insomnia, hon. I fall asleep when I stop moving for 10 minutes, anywhere.
I loved the LOTR films and just felt like I could live in them. We got all the extended editions and loved the FOTR commentary with all the hobbits - that cracked me up. But never went online about it or anything. Besides, what "spoilers" could there possibly be? Read the books to find out what happens. But I started watching Lost too because Merry looked funny in short hair. :p

My life was too busy when X-files was on and I just never got curious enough to go looking for information about it on that new thing the World Wide Web. I guess the X-files was groundbreaking for online fandom though.

Lost is the one obsession I've gotten into soooo much, but now BSG is coming up a close second. I haven't started posting anywhere about it, much, but have looked up some information on the forums and stuff. But I have no interest in BSG spoilers.

Ahhh, you're so lucky -- I wish sleep came as easily for me.

I loved the LOTR films and just felt like I could live in them.

Exactly! I always say that I want to live in Middle Earth... it's basically my dream world. Sigh.

I wasn't very involved in any online fandom for X-Files, for some reason -- I think, at the time, I was really involved in online stuff with Matchbox Twenty (the band).

LOST is the fandom I've gotten most obsessed with online, and LOTR is a close second.

OMG!!! I'm obsessed with LOTR, too!!! I never got involved in any online fandom until LOST though. And Jack & Kate are obviously what inspired me to come online. But I'm actually STILL obsessed with LOTR.

I love me some xfiles, too though. I'm also a HUGE Star Wars freak. But not as much as LOTR. And I reallly love this other show called "Farscape". It was on Sci-Fi. Amazing Show - if you like the Star Wars/BSG kind of thing.

omg yay! (Hehe, like your avy.) Another LOTR freak! I'm also still obsessed with LOTR in a huge way. I have the theatrical releases for each film on DVD, plus the extended versions for each one and I've watched every second of the hours of bonus footage multiple times; I've scoured every word of the books, including the appendices, and I've collected Tolkien's other works; I saw ROTK five times in the theater alone; I've seen each film probably about 100 times (literally) and I have a bunch of collectible merchandise. It's a sickness. LOST and LOTR are basically my favorite things ever. My email address, gwingil@gmail.com, means "mermaid" in Elvish... LOL ( ... )

WOW! You're just like me when it comes to LOTR. I cannot tell you how many times I've seen the movies. I've read the book COUNTLESS times and I couldn't be more excited that Peter Jackson is doing the hobbit and that Ian will be Gandalf again. I actually found this tour that is in New Zealand and it takes you to all of the key places where the film was made. Edoras, Mt.Doom, everything. But I haven't found anyone to go with me. Its about $2,000 + airfare from wherever you are to where the tour starts in NZ. It really looks amazing and I've talked to the people who run it several times. They are so incredible and so nice. I wish I could go ( ... )

OMG, don't apologize! I love talking to fellow LOTR addicts! :)

Oh, man, I've always wanted to go to NZ on one of the tours. I remember after FOTR came out, I started looking at sites that detailed all the locations as they were revealed. I was so fascinated by the idea that the cast was sequestered away from each other, like this little micro-community, in such an amazing place (kind of like the cast of LOST... Dom is pretty much the luckiest actor alive, having gotten to be a part of both of these phenomenons).

I listen to the film soundtracks on my iPod and they're so meditative -- they kind of transport me right to Middle Earth. :)

Anyway, I'll definitely make an effort to catch some Farscape and even some BSG. I'm always up for more excuses to geek out. ;) And anytime you want to talk LOTR, just let me know! :) :) :)
