   [insert stupid title here]
Okay, I couldn't think of anything stupid to put there, but I have something for you folks today. A list I found on blogthings (www.blogthings.com/anime.html) - chances are most of you have already seen it, but I thought I'd post it, just because it's something more interesting to post. Without further delay - the ridiculous list I found (with some of my own commentary)!

You know you're addicted to anime when ...

- You call your dog Shinji.
- You perform a canon ball dive into a pool while yelling "SPIRIT BOMB!".
- Your house has an anime room.
- You and your friends flash peace signs and take girlish poses when you're happy.
- You get an anime tattoo - even if you're afraid of needles.
- Your walls are covered in wallscrolls and posters from your favorite series.
- You use the term 'kawaii' for describing everything. [Though use of it excessively will lead to the ever annoying 'cat-girl syndrome']
- You try to convince your girlfriend that 'cat ears' and 'tail' looks really good on them. [cat girls are not cute.]
- You can sing songs from uour favorite shows, in Japanese, even though you don't speak Japanese.
- You spent hours looking through your library for a copy of 'The Universe of Four Gods'.
- You have legally changed your name to that of your favorite character.
- You wear a necklace and fall down everytime someone says 'Sit boy!'.
- Your only dream is to attend to Tokyo U with a girl [or boy, whatever your case may be]you haven't seen in 15 years.
- You play an instrument and you nickname it Inuyasha. [I wouldn't nickname it Inuyasha ... some other character from some different anime ... like Spike, or Jiji]
- If you get mad at your teacher, you draw her as a demon cat.
- You've bought a $20 ring in the shape of a dragon to show off at your school.
- You always have your hair cover your left eye, and flip it so you look like an anime character.
- You think falling flat on your back with your legs in the air is a normal reaction to big news.
- You are worried because you don't have several desireable member of the opposite sex frantically trying to make you fall in love with them.
- You shave a crescent moon onto your cat's head, dye it purple, then take it to school and insis it's Luna, your talking cat.
- You go around eating donuts and trying to act crazy-like all the while saying you're Vash the Stampede.
- To resolve a conflict, you insist in a duel.
- The employees at GameStop know you, and tell you when they've gotten a new shipment of anime DVDs.
- You've gotten angry with at someone and placed two fingers on your forehead, shouted the word 'makanekasopo', and then poked them in the eye.
- You waste countless amounts of hair gel to get that 'Goku look'. [I think everybody knows someone that does this ...]
- You map out points in Tokyo where Dragons of Earth might attack.
- You elieve it is possible for a person to be severely beaten in the head with a large hammer, stick, etc ... and still come out alive.
- You yell out 'Baka hanyou Inu-Yasha!' at your birthday party and everyone (except your parents) knows you're talking to your boyfriend.
- Each time you see a stray animal, you turn your hat sideways and throw one of those plastic Pokeballs Burger King was giving out in their kids meals, yelling "POKEBALL, GO!".
- The majority of your cds are Japanese or the English version of a Japanese soundtrack of an anime that just decided to use English in its songs.
- You misplace your manga and someone at school you don't know gives it to you saying they knew it was yours.
- You incorporate Japanese, somehow, into every class.
- You use random Japanese words, such as baka, kawaii, and hentai.
- You try to read every book from right to left.
- You say 'ITADAKIMASU!!' before you eat your meals.
- You insist on chopsticks for everyday use. [Forks are for pansies]
- Your bookshelf is filled with anime boxed sets and not books.
- You stop listening to the radio because English makes no sense to you anymore, and it's your first language. [Or, you could've just got annoyed with the crappy music constantly being played ... repeatedly.]
- Random battles erupt wherever you go.
- Your dreams are animated.
- Duct tape is really funny to you, and most of your threats involve taping people to walls. [Duct tape is the solution to everything.]
- When you wash the dishes you yell out 'SUPAH WAVE SMASHUH!' (or any other water attack).
- You run out of space on your computer because the hard drive is taken up by hundreds of anime pics, mp3s, midis, and music videos. [I used to run an anime fansite with a friend ... about five and a half years ago ... so many pictures ....]
- You spend your whole spring break working on an anime webpage.
- You expect to see a tear drop over someone's head when they get embarrassed.
- You know your favorite character's bloodtype.
- Knowing Sailor Moon has helped you on an astronomy test.

Well, that's it. Chances are I've missed a few that are on the actual list, since I wrote this down quite awhile ago ... so, don't hesitate to visit the actual site. And I'll assume that you might not understand, but I didn't write these. I'm sure it's obvious, but yeah. Just making sure that's known, without any assuming that you all know that I didn't ... taking a precaution ... yessssssssss .... >_>
