While enjoying the LOTR marathon (again), it struck me that The Return of the King was released five years ago. FIVE YEARS. I can’t get over the thrill of excitement every single time I see any of the trilogy. Five years ago my dad and I stood in freezing cold temperatures to get tickets for Ben and me to see the midnight showing and OMG it truly was frigid; yet worth it.
In the last five years: I saw the movie at midnight, again the next afternoon, and again a few days later. I downloaded it, ripped the audio from the movie, burned it to disc, listened to it non-stop in the car, bought the soundtrack, began collecting action figures, fell in love with Sean Bean and David Wenham, named my cats Hobbit and Istar, made nearly 100 fanvids, journeyed into slash, met wonderful fellow fans, read the book repeatedly, read The Hobbit, The Similrillion, and a few other Tolkien works, rewatched the movies (repeatedly, as well), got the “9” tattoo, scoured online sites and calendar stores for the newest (or leftover) items, and so much more.
It all feels new. Maybe it always will. Can’t wait for the next five years of fandom! :love:

Excellent post. I will be experiencing a few of these issues as well..
Aw, this was an exceptionally nice post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to produce a top notch article… but what can I say… I hesitate a whole lot and don’t manage to get nearly anything done.
I love it when people get together and share views. Great website, keep it up!
I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I found this during my hunt for something concerning this.
Excellent article. I’m facing a few of these issues as well..
Way cool! Some extremely valid points! I appreciate you writing this article plus the rest of the website is extremely good.
Pretty! This was a really wonderful post. Many thanks for providing these details.
Hi there! This blog post couldn’t be written much better! Going through this article reminds me of my previous roommate! He constantly kept talking about this. I most certainly will send this article to him. Pretty sure he’ll have a great read. Many thanks for sharing!
When I initially left a comment I appear to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I get four emails with the exact same comment. There has to be a way you can remove me from that service? Cheers.

Hello, There’s no doubt that your website might be having browser compatibility problems. Whenever I look at your site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in I.E., it has some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Apart from that, great site.
When I originally commented I appear to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I receive 4 emails with the same comment. Is there a way you are able to remove me from that service? Appreciate it.
