You think that 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 desirable members of the opposite sex frantically trying to make you fall in love with them.

You shave a crescent moon onto your cats head, dye the cat purple, then take it to school and insist it's Luna, your talking cat.

Your dreams are animated.

You naru punch all the guys at school, and then wonder why they don't follow you around like keitaro follows naru.

You hold your eyes really wide all day trying to make them stay big

Duct tape is really funny to you and most of your threats involve taping people to walls.

When you're washing dishes you yell out "SUPAH WAVE SMASHUH!" or any 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.

You spend all night trying to figure out how many people you can get to go in with you on buying the complete collection of Sailor Moon episodes in Japanese.

You spend your whole spring break working on an anime webpage.

You expect to see a teardrop over someone's head when they get embarrassed.

You start to speak with an odd accent.

You can watch two animes in the same room at the same time and still have the TV off.

You know your favorite character's bloodtype.

Knowing Sailor Moon helps you on an Astronomy test.

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are addicted to anime.

You know you are addicted to anime when
You started this thread with a long post that is actually pretty good or when you posted in here.
Your closet is filled with naruto headbands and other cosplay stuff  you bought on ebay
Whenever someone describes a person you automatically visualise them as an animated being
when your friends miss an episode of any anime or when they have trouble remembering anything related to anime they automatically come to you.

New sig and avatar by me^^ I now take requests.

any question on numbers tends to have the same answer, "It's Over 9000!!!!!!!"
Laziness, or lack of effort, can best be avoided by the effort to avoid effort in the most effortless way.
