[Kitsune-sama]

• You can speak intelligently in Japanese about spirits, demons, war, death, tournaments, magic, and profoundly soppy love affairs, but the prospect of buying a movie ticket leaves you tongue-tied.
  
• "Hai," "baka," and "hentai" come to your lips so easily that sometimes you have difficulty remembering what the English words are.
  
• None of your friends study Japanese, but thanks to you, they all have 50-word vocabularies....and if they used them in front of their moms, they'd get their mouths washed out with soap.
  
• You go native, to the point of buying Japanese rice in 20-pound bags and clearing all of the furniture out of your living room so you can sit on the floor.
  
• It's 3 am, and you and your best friend are on the brink of a fistfight over whether Ranma-chan or Ranma-kun is cuter.
  
• You have a Ranma outfit....and so does your significant other.
  
• You're keeping an eye on your little sister for signs of slacking off during school, making eyes at the school's only bishonen, and disappearing suspiciously often for "slumber parties," because if she becomes a magic girl, you want in on the action.
  
• Your friends stage an intervention....but only because they want your tapes.
  
• Some poor ex-mugger still hears the words "LEKKA SHINEN!" in his nightmares.
  
• You never bothered getting your new apartment hooked up to cable, and even Babylon 5 is a take-it-or-leave-it thing... but anyone who gets in the way of your mission to get the next Slayers volume is dead....only, if you'd written the last sentence, you would have worded it, ``Anyone who gets in my way is Nakago.''
  
• You've contemplated growing your hair long so that you can put it up in dumplings....and you're a guy.
  
• You feel like less of a woman because you can't put away 5,000 calories in one sitting.
  
• You're despondent because your chances to become an anime heroine are completely shot--you can cook.
  
• You refer to 21 as "over the hill," and get more depressed the closer that day comes; you're not ready to join the forces of evil, dammit!
  
• It's not a bad hair day, it's a Zelgadis hair day.
  
• Your parents draw you aside and ask you whether you're a Satanist, since all of those symbols you practice drawing in your notebooks look awfully suspicious to them. <-- (Has happened to me before...)
  
• Your kids think that cartoons are supposed to have writing at the bottom.
  

[AniMajor]

You no longer think of pink, white, green, or blue hair as odd.

You introduce yourself to someone with "watashi wa..."

You know that a cow goes "moo" a duck goes "quack" and sakura blossoms blowing in the wind go "saa saa saa..."

You've changed your laugh to "fu fu fu fu..."

You wonder why none of your spirit stickers work.

You will demand that I use the proper name "ofuda" instead of spirit stickers.

You go into mechanical engineering just to build a giant robot.

[Asukas~Doll]

You try to get your pets to talk or fly

You wonder why your school doesn't have sailor uniforms

You talk to the principle of your school to try to get Japanese taught there

You offer yourself as the teacher

When the principle says "no" you reach into your sleeve to pull out a fan....and succeed.

when you get dressed you play a goofy song and dance around

[Aluocard]

lol. that is funny. but i could relate to most of them.
say say the hellsing moto everyday before school .

ask dj at the dance to play anime music.

browsing though anime section at target and talk to myself about which one i want to buy.

want to take wood shop to make 1 prop for costume.

talk to teacher about anime.

debate about what hell is like.

[Hotaru]

[Asukas~Doll]

oo! I got a couple more:

You dream of meeting one of the pretty boys/girls

You will whack me with a fan if I don't change what I wrote above to "bishounen/bishoujo"

You always compare real people to characters "He's got the eyes but he doesn't have Zelgadis's hair!"

When you answer the phone you always say, "Moshi moshi."

You think natural white/silver hair on a 16 to.. uh.. 25 year old is sexy

You believe that as long as you wear a helmet, no harm can come to you

You carry around a huge sword... and no one does a double take

ok, I think I'm done now

[Kitsune-sama]

*Whacks with fan* >__< I cannot believe you used pretty boys/girls instead of Bishounen/Bishoujo!! *Growls* As Leader and Founder of the Bishounen Hunters, I have been angered!! *Whacks with fan again*

[Asukas~Doll]

ow! Hey! Sorry! Please forgive me o Leader of Bishounen Hunters! *bows down* X3

[Kitsune-sama]

*Smiles* ^0^ All is forgiven....

[TwiliteSea]

-When you know what studios release what anime dvds *whistles, avoiding eye-contact*
-When you have seen a certain episode so many times that you now know each and every line by heart
-When you memorized not only the Japanese lyrics to a song but the translation to the Japanese lyrics as well.
-When you can recognize just about every voice in dubbed anime and can tell where else you've heard that voice *still whistling and still avoiding eye-contact*

[hana_chan]

[Tiirz]

You are constantly surprised you can't leap 40 feet.

[Rhianwen]

Hee! This is awesome! I've also got to admit to identifying uncomfortably with a few. Namely, the one about comparing people you meet to anime characters. If you'll believe it, the last time we had a budget discussion church service, I spent it imagining what everyone around me would look like if we had been in an anime. Next week, I'll decide what superpowers they would have!

Can I add a few more? (Apologies if I reiterate any that have been said ^_^)

- You have come to blows on the issue of subbies or dubbies (double points if you ended a long term friendship or relationship over it)

- You do that little sitting position that all those excruciatingly cute anime girls do, despite the fact that it hurts like heck (again, double points if you persistently do it until it doesn't hurt anymore)

- You believe that a hammer-space exists in your pocket, or just behind you

- You believe that red hair connotes good, while that purple-haired girl in your class is secretly plotting the downfall of humanity...or just the downfall of the red-haired girl across from her

- You feel inadequate every time you see an anime girl because your legs aren't two thirds to three quarters of your height.

I liked the one about seeing pink sparkleys and knowing it's real love. And the one about trying to get your pets to talk back to you, even though that could also stem from watching Disney too long and too late. Although, that would be more if you tried to get your pets to talk back to you in song. ^_^()

[Lottie]

When you start to prefer the bishies over real guys. XP

Your eyes get really big and turn white when you are disgusted in something or angry with someone.

You act like that certain anime character you adore 24/7

[Eriol]

You watch too much anime when you decide to cosplay.
You watch too much anime when you think it's a good idea to live in Japan.
