you look for subtitles in French class.
anyone with huge eyes becomes very interesting to you.
you dream that one day you get transported to an alternate dimension of anime.
you can write a list like this from things you've done yourself.^_^;
you've gotten up hours before school to try and imitate your favorite character's hairstyle.
you actually succeed.
you use pictures you've printed off the internet as wallpaper.
you can carry on a small conversation in Japanese from watching subtitled shows.
your friends run when they see you coming.
the first thing you ask when you meet people for the first time is: "What's your favorite anime??"
the person who asked you to write this page thinks you're insane.
When there is trouble, you throw your cat in the oven.(samuri pizza cats)
You constantly switch from English to Japanese when you talk.
You and your friends have named each other after different characters.
They haven't, but you have...
You call them these names to their faces.
You painstakingly study Japanese so you can watch/read episodes and manga...then realize you can buy translated versions.
You remember the Japanese.
...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.
...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.
...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.
...you've contemplated growing your hair long so that you can put it up in dumplings.
...and you're a guy.
you've read this whole list.
