An ever-popular and flourishing thread:
Chokoholics, video-game addicts, manga fiends — tell us how you know when you’ve crossed the line.

Patience, Please
This site is under reconstruction and will look strange for a while. We regret the inconvenience.
You know you’re addicted to Torchwood when you have just started rewatching the episodes barely a month after you first saw them–and (so far–I’ve only just finished rewatching the first ep) finding them even more utterly hilarious than before. My sister kept yelling at me to be quiet, as she was trying to work…..whoops.
first post?
I love Torchwood! I’d rewatch them too, don’t worry.
Yes! Somebody else who understands my, uhm…..obsession. *hugs*
Too bad they took it off the air… :'(
Well, I think they’re still considering a 4th season. It’s in negotiations, or some such. Or so I’ve heard.
Yep. I think they are.
3 more eposides and there will be a new Doctor!
(you know you’re obsessed when you actually CARE about this) Shame though, David Tennant is an amazing doctor (and actor in general)
Wait, three? I thought it was only two (that is, two Christmas Specials)…..Or are you counting Waters of Mars, as it hasn’t been aired in the US as of yet? I watched it online……
Yes, I am guilty of the actually caring, as well……
First post?
You know your addicted to Buffy when:
You spend your lunch periods watching it. (guilty)
You spend an inordinate amount of time swooning over Spike. (guilty)
You use a song from the musical episode for “the soundtrack of your life.” (not guilty but my friend is)
You’ve replaced your dock icons with Buffy characters. (my friend is again)
To continue…
Your gmail and facebook statuses both refer to Buffy. (guilty)
You’re more shaken by major events in Buffy than events in your own life. (guilty)
You e-mail yourself a document and write a line from Buffy in the body. (guilty, but it was a very appropriate line from Buffy!)
You compare real life relationships to Buffy ships. (umm…yeah, guilty)
1: Not currently guilty of having various statuses refer to TW/DW, but…..Some have, in the past.
2: Um, yes, definitely guilty for TW
3: Hmmmm. Not guilty of that even for HP, I don’t think.
4: Not guilty. Still time for that, though.
For the fourth one, I was looking at a couple (both of whom are my friends) and thinking, “This is so cute. I know it’s the first relationship he’s ever been in, and it’s naive. A lot like Buffy/Angel…” Yeah. But Buffy has good ships!
And yet more.
…when you look up what rhymes with lungs.
…when you look up the etymology of mace.
…when you look up the origin of the phrase “stick out like a sore thumb”.
Yeah…
What about “the whole nine yards”? Not that I’ve looked up either, but….I do remember finding it dreadfully amusing, both of ’em, because you all of a sudden think: “where on earth does that come from?!?!?!”
When was “the whole nine yards”? Every time I hear “stick out like a sore thumb”, I think of that Buffy quote.
I think Buffy said it in one of the eps, but I don’t recall which one. It was after the ep where Willow (it was Willow, wasn’t it?) was going on about “stick out like a sore thumb”
I think it was that second season one about the vampire wannabes. That had quite a few funny lines… like Angel going “Seriously, do you think we really dress like this?” and a guy walking by in an identical outfit.
The sore thumb one was the vampire wannabes. The 9 yards was few episodes later. She was talking to Giles, and she said “the whole 9 yards” and then she asked what the whole 9 yards were of or something like that… Definitely mid-second season.
I always assumed that “the whole nine yards” had something to do with football, but then I read somewhere that it referred to the standard length of a strip of machine-gun ammunition in World War 1. I’m not sure whether to believe that; I’d need to find what I consider a credible source.
I once did quite a bit of searching on that expression and found that no one actually knows where the expression came from. A quick refresher search indicates this still appears to be the case. So far no one has been able to document its usage in print prior to the 1960s.
You know you’re addicted to Pokemon when you dream about it (guilty)
You know you’re addicted to RPG when you keep checking back every couple of minutes (guilty)
3- Then I am a proud Pokemon-obsessed person! I’ve had at least 5 Pokemon dreams in the past month…
Yay!! Another pokemon fan!! My dream was sorta like the series where you are a pokemon…
I wish I had more Pokemon dreams…
Mystery Dungeon?
*is guilty to both*
You know you’re addicted to obscure Disney when you know who Jose Carioca and Ludwig von Drake are… (Guilty)
… and they’re among your favorite characters. (Guilty)
You know you’re addicted to just about any book when you read it while walking home from band. (Guilty. Yesterday it was Harry Potter 5, and today it was The People Of Sparks.)
You know you’re also addicted to Pokemon when you watch every episode and movie you can while home alone and not home alone and pretend to have Pokemon and collect the cards with great enthusiasm (guilty, guilty, and guilty) and you know you’re especially obsessed with James (in Pokemon movies) when you squeal every time he appears (guilty) and grind your teeth when Team Rocket blasts off (guilty) and draw pictures of him and his Cacnea (guilty again). I know….. I’m hopeless…..
You know you’re addicted to IMing when you say “LOL” instead of actually laughing, say to your mom at night, “ILY XOXO” and tell your best friend you “LYLAS” or “LYLAB”.*
*Love You Like A Sister, Love You Like A Brother
You know you are addicted to obscure/secondary characters when…
Only two of your top ten Marvel characters are actually people non-comics readers would have heard of. (Jean Grey and Kitty Pryde.)
You write Marvel fan-fiction about characters who haven’t had a major appearance in a comic since the 70s.
Your favorite “Mouse Gang” Disney characters are Jose Carioca and Ludwig von Drake.
Your favorite Disney hero is Milo Thatch.
You were actually bothered by not knowing the NASA official’s name in the new The Day the Earth Stood Still to the point of looking it up on Wikipedia. (Dr. Micheal Granier)
Your favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles character is April O’Neil.
The one Star Wars character you HAD to have a watch depicting was R2D2.
If you were in a production of King Lear, you would want to play the Servant who tries to stop Gloucester from being blinded.
You felt bad when the Time Warp Trio had to leave Mary Shelley, Sophie Blanchard, Amelia Earheart and Apsley Cherry-Garrard and go home.
You felt bad when Jack and Annie had to leave the Moon Man, Slim the Cowboy, Basho, the Paris “Magicians”… heck, almost all of their helpers… and go back to the tree house.
(So, if you want me to like you, it helps if you’re smart, foreign, mysterious, young, willing to sacrifice a lot, non-powered helping powered people, (Where “powered” can also mean physically strong, having authority, royalty, a time traveler, or a chosen one) or some combination of the above.)
You know you’re addicted to RuneScape when you wake up in the middle of the night wondering if you character has a high enough magic level to teleport to Ardougne (I used to be guilty) and whether you managed to kill the Ice Wolf before logging off, and if not, whether you shouldn’t just go and mute the computer and try to finish it off.
you know you have become addicted to Owl City in the past 24 hours when you have been using youtube to listen to random songs by them ever sence you got home. 3 hours ago.
And when you do an art project depicting “Fireflies.” That was a very good art-type thing, by the way.
Thank you. It also somewhat depicted ‘Hello Seattle’
and I am over my Owl City addiction, altough I still like their music.
You know you’re addicted to Calvin and Hobbes when Pseudo misplaces an “and” when she quotes Calvin and you immediately and loudly correct her.
You know you’re addicted to Harry Potter when you and your sister have clangorous squabbles over whether Cornelius Fudge or Sirius Black was on the cover of the Quibbler when Harry first met Luna Lovegood.
Furthermore, you know you write too many essays on the computer when you instinctively hit Ctrl+S when you’re writing a MuseBlog post, and freak out when the save as window pops up on the screen.
You know your addicted to “You Know You’re Addicted to X When You Y” when you automatic think of a “You Know You’re Addicted to X When You Y” whene it appears on Museblog.
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you immediatly go on there as soon as you open up your computer. (mostly guilty, unless in trouble …)
You know you’re obsessed with the Beatles when you:
-Know all of their birthdays, John and George’s deathdates, some of their kid’s birthdays, and random days associated with their achievements.
-People introduce you as “This is __. She likes the Beatles.”
-know all of the lyrics and supposed meanings behind nearly every one of their songs.
– start screaming hysterically when you a hear a cover for one of their songs. (Or when someone asks if Paul McCartney and Jesse McCartney are related)
– quote them mutliple times throughout the day.
-When asked, you could tell an entire biography of them right on the spot.
-The first items on your Christmas wish-list are all Beatles related (Beatles CDs, Beatles shirts, etc.)
-Whenever someone mentions something that sounds like a Beatles song, you grin ecstatically and start singing it.
-Jellybeans are your favourite candy (They were George’s favourite)
-When someone at your school gets a “mushroom” haircut, you walk up to them and say, “I like your haircut. It makes you look like a Beatle.”
-Walruses are your favourite animal.
-You sing Beatles songs all day long.
-You have over three hours of Beatles songs on your iPod.
-You dress up as one of them for Halloween, and no one you know is even remotely surprised. (I dressed up as Ringo.)
Whew! I am guilty of all of those!
*is impressed*
You also know you’re addicted to the Beatles when
-You do your History Day project on them.
-You watch Help! three times in two days.
-You walk up to the kid whose last name is Savoy and say, “I like your name. It reminds me of Savoy Truffle.”
-Carry Abbey Road in the pocket of your cargo pants.
-Have a Beatles haircut.
(I’m guilty of all of these.)
HAHAHA someone thought Paul and Jesse were related 2 years ago, everyone in the classroom shouted “WHAT?!”
Pseudo is so jealous, she shares a birthday with Nascar Driver Jeff Gordon.
Also, I share a birthday with George Harrison
You know you’re addicted to Twilight when you can say exactly how many times Stephenie Meyer uses the word “angel” while describing Edward throughout the entire series.
YOU HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS MY BEST FRIEND!!! February 25?
I share a birthday with Barbara Streisand. It seems appropriate for a musical theater geek like me.
But…but…Edward will never be as awesome as Angel… (Another entry on the Buffy list)
*gasp*
Lucky!
I have the same birthday as Jim Henson!
*wants that birthday so bad*
Seriously, nobody is born on my birthday. No-one. I mean, my sister has Jesus’s birthday, my we know a ton of people with my dad’s…
But none on mine.
according to JKR’s website, I have the same birthday as Hermione. Yay!
I have the same birthday as Fishy! *laughs head off*
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you get frustrated that no one is posting anything because they are all asleep while for you it is the middle of the afternoon, and you start wishing you lived in the same/almost the same time zone as most other MBers.
(Guilty….definitely guilty :D)
15- Oh, please tell us.
You know you’re addicted to jigsaw puzzles when you start one at 7:00 on Black Friday and work on it until like 10:30, when your Mother tells you to go to bed, but your Dad is right there working on it so you keep working for another ten minutes and then go to bed. (so guilty.)
You know you’re addicted to making fun of The Twilight Saga when you go to see New Moon with your friends, then start cracking up everyt ime somebody says something because the acting/facial expressions are sooooooooo bad. You DON’T want to be in the same movie theatre as me.
That’s what my friend E is going to do with me! I’m going to bring protection so as not to get attacked.
Hehehe I want to try that.
I would bring wet jellybeans to throw at the screen during the kissing parts, but that would be a waste of jellybeans.
Hmmm. I’m seeing that movie tonight. I hope that will not happen to me ..
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you fake throwing pies when something good happens to someone you know.
Yes, my birthday is Feb. 25. GO GEORGE HARRISON BIRTHDAYS!
Oh cake. Someone asked me what my name is and I said soccer starr. Eek.
XD WIN!
Yeah…it was quite an interesting, err, conversation.
O.O I have yet to say my name is LittleBasementKitten to someone, but that is hi-LARIOUS!!!
*dies from overexposure to funniness*
I’m glad I’m the subject of your entertainment. Ha ha, kidding.
I have been telling stories about things that happened to me in the past and accidentally refered to myself as “Kai” in the stories.
Epic win…
Hooray! That makes me extraordinarily happy for no apparent reason!
That’s priceless. xD
I’ve never made that mistake, but if I see or hear the word “tesseract” I tend to perk my ears up, so to speak. “Wait, is that about/directed at me? Is he talking to me? Oh no wait, just about the shape. Never mind then.”
If someone yelled “Hey Tesseract!” it’s likely that I’d turn around.
Of course, if someone yells “Hey speller!”, they probably are talking to me. I’m actually not the only (former) speller at my school, but still, some people do sort of know me as “spelling bee girl”.
Did you go to the National Bee? (I should probably know this, so I apologize. But if you did it was probably before I was here I’m assuming otherwise I probably would know.)
Yep. Twice. It was a few years ago.
If someone were to say “Hey, Ducky!”, it’d be my mom.
Yay, good job!
When I tell people I’m CTN, they ask me whether I’ve been Gmailing/Yahooing too much…
You know you’re addicted to all kinds of random things when you take out a travel guide to Disney World, a biography of Buzz Aldrin, The Marvel Encyclopedia and a book on how to draw Manga from the library.
You know you’re addicted to comic books when all you bring on vacation is your DS, a charger, your purse, and 7 comic books. (soooooooo guilty.)
You know you’re addicted to cheese when you’re awesomely spontaneous.
??? *confusion*
Pseudo had a good one but I forgot what it was!!
Speaking of Pseudo, she won’t be on/will post VERY sparingly for awhile. Our dad banned her from the Internet.
You know you’re addicted to MB when you open up an Internet browser and the first thing you do is type in musefanpage CTRL-Enter subconsciously, when you meant to be typing something else.
That seriously happened to me just now. I’m not even kidding. That’s why I’m posting on here right now.
It’s just so type-able!
I wanted to check my email but instead I accidentally came here. (Or maybe my subconscious self is telling me something? :D)
Whenever I get a free moment on a computer, I come to NASA.gov, then MB.
You know you’re addicted to catalog shopping when you can name every item in the dELiA’s holiday 2009 collection. ( fortunately not guilty. )
You know you’re addicted to Harry Potter when you get annoyed when people don’t get your references to the books. (My poor family has no idea what I’m saying half of the time.)
We were having a philosophical question about quotes by Nelson Mandela during English yesterday, and a new relevant Harry Potter quote popped into my head every couple of minutes.
“Try for some remorse, Riddle!”
You know you’re addicted to space travel when you watch Frost/Nixon in school and you see Kevin Bacon and go “It’s Rusty Swigert!”
(The fact that both films were directed by Ron Howard and set in the 70s may be some excuse.)
It’s actually really funny, because he’s supposed to be a big, bad scary guy on Nixon’s staff, and I can’t take it seriously because I keep seeing him as Swigert the astronaut.
You know you’re addicted to band when the Tetris voice says “triple” and you immediately think of “tripleta.”
Ooh, that’s bad.
You know you’re addicted to Star Wars when you know exactly where they are in your family’s dark, hard-to-see-in, shelf of movies.
And when you’ve repeatedly gotten up at six in order to watch one of them.
And, of course, if you’ve read multiple Star Wars books, that’s a dead giveaway as well.
You know you’re addicted to MB when you’re surprised when your post appears automatically on a different forum.
And when you wonder how the moderator could possibly have let whatever bad language/etc. through.
Guilty on all counts.
You know you’re addicted to TNG when you see a picture of Whoopi Goldberg and think “Guinan!”
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you when you can’t stand not going on every hour.
You know you’re addicted to Calvin and Hobbes when:
In the beginning of December, you do a “snow dance” and say things like “Hi-de-ho! Snow, snow, snow!”
You lie on a sled and stare at the sky.
You throw ice cubes.
You threaten to become an atheist.
When it FINALLY snows, you pretend to be a one-legged kid going that way.
————————————————————————————————-
You know you’re addicted to the Beatles ( *coughSilverLiningwholikestheBeatlescough* ) when you know the answer to this question:
Freddie Lennon had a voice part of:
A) Soprano
B) Bass
C) Tenor
D) Alto
****Brought to you by Pseudo, who approves this message.****
Hm.
I guess I’m not a fan of the Beatles, because I didn’t even know there was someone named Freddie Lennon! I’d heard of Freddie Mercury, and John Lennon, but never Freddie Lennon.
How strange.
John Lennon’s Dad!!!!
35.1
*hangs head in utter shame* I know not…I actually have no idea. I’ve never really read much into John’s family growing up. *slinks away*
Freddie Lennon is John Lennon’s father.
*waits for Silver Lining to come along and answer question*
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you narrate all your actions out loud so people who can’t see you will know what you’re doing. Such as, *stirs*, *is annoyed*, and *slinks away*.
*cough*PSEUDOISANNOYING*cough*
Well then fail on my part.
You know you’re addicted to the “Caramelldansen” song when you know all the words by heart.
(I’m almost there…)
And, you see, “Caramelldansen” is in Swedish.
Caramelldansen! <3~ Justine's nearly memorized the lyrics, and I know three misheard lyrics. Everyone thinks its in Japanese…
We also do the dance at school dances.
You know your addicted to procrastinating when you do your homework on the way to the class in which it was due. (Pseudonym and I are both guilty on that one. Science Homework.)
You mean that most people don’t do that!? You clearly don’t go to nerd school.
Agh, SFTDP, but KaiYves, you like Jean Grey and Kitty Pryde!!!!???? I’m not the only one! Callay!
You know you’re addicted to the computer when if you’re drawing, you think, “Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V” when you need to draw something identical to something else (I am soooooo guilty…)
I always think “Ctrl-Z” when I’m not happy with my drawing.
I wish ctrl+z worked in life. Things would be ever so much easier.
You know you’re addicted to Voltaire music when you you can describe yourself in songs.
(For me, equal parts Almost Human and Death, with quite a bit of Dunce, and a touch of When You’re Evil.)
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when, on gmail, you type [ word] to do italics. ( It doesn’t work that way on gmail. )
GAPAs catch themselves and each other doing that, too.
Heeheehee. SudoRandom did it to me.
38- Yes, and I also like Sabra and the Black Widow and Mr. Fantastic and Alyssa Moy and Peter Corbeau and John Jameson and Comet Man, and…
We should probably take this to the Comics thread.
Oooh, comics thread.
I just spent about half an hour figuring the *exact* moment in a video of the Ares I-X launch to start a music video for “St Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)” so that “Trying to break FREE!” comes *right* at ignition.
Now, if I was actually making a music video, that would make sense. But no, I was just messing around with two YouTube videos.
Ctrl+F is useful too, like when you’re in a store and you can’t find something. Or you’re bored and you decide to count just how many Lees show up in the index of last year’s yearbook (40).
Recently, I was using a dictionary and was trying to remember what “i” came after, and instead of thinking “h-i-j”, I thought “u-i-o”.
Nowaiz. You’re kidding!
Nopers. I’ve done similar things, but none as bad as that.
Waait. That made it sound like I was kidding about the “u-i-o” thing. I wasn’t.
Now that’s just sad.
Other letters I associate are “v-b-n-m”, and “e-r-t”… that stuff.
I’ve also found myself trying to figure out which finger I use to press a certain key… with not a keyboard in sight.
Sometimes when I think, I type what I’m thinking in midair on an invisible keyboard…
When I did spelling bees, I would always type out the word on my lap as (and sometimes before) I spelled it.
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you type “www.” in the URL box and the first website suggestion that comes up is MB, not Google. (I just noticed that.)
Ha. I don’t have that problem. I just click the MuseBlog icon on my toolbar. Which is usually the first thing I even do when I use the computer.
You know you’re addicted to the Beatles when…*points upward at post 50*
By the way, Pseudo is watching Help! right now. I am so, so sick of it.
You know you’re outdated when:
You own a VCR.
You own more videos than you do DVDs.
You feel nostalgic for when they would advertise “Coming soon to own on DVD and video!” instead of “on DVD and Blu-Ray.”
You actually remember when they used to advertise “Coming soon to own on video cassette!” ( sans DVD. )
And you recognize the coming attractions on the ads beforehand because you own the tape.
GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY
Outdated? You call that outdated? *scoffs* You know you’re outdated when you own more Laserdisks than DVDs.
And more Laserdisk players.Never mind, I just realized computers play DVDs.And twenty-year old computers.
And a TV that I’m fairly sure didn’t come with a remote.
We have an old computer from 1998. I love it. (Except when the computer falls on my head. I don’t love that.)
You know you’re addicted to science when someone in soccer kicks the ball and it hits your knee and you yell, “Auuuggghhh, my patella!!!”
(guilty)
OUCH, ZINC, MY CEREBRAL CORTEX!!!
You know you’re addicted to ignoring your evil grandmother when after she says “Could I buy you some candy,” and you blink at her and walk away.
Hey, at least you evil grandmother still talks to you (in a nice way)!
Not really, it was only that once, and I wasn’t even listening! Seriously, she got furious at me for looking at her! Ask Pseudonym, she’s a witness.
Mine ignores me, cuts me off and then criticizes me for being to haughty to talk to her. Let’s just say we meet once or twice a year.
Mines pretty much the same, except I have to see her way too much every year.
51- I’m guilty of all of those!
Me too, but not the Beatles part.
Me, too.
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when, confronted with danger, you stand still and say “runs away” and make little asterisk signs in the air with your fingers.
You know you’re addicted to Twilight when you start making merchandise for it.
((I AM NOT guilty! However, 2 girls at a craft fair I attended were.))
You know you’re addicted to cleaning when someone asks you who your best friend is and you say “The vaccum cleaner.”
Pseudonym- Or, “The Fly Lady”. Nobody probably knows what I’m talking about.
I had some good ones…
I’ll think of them later.
Whoa! My mum does Fly Lady stuff sometimes.
Or “Mr. Clean”.
You know you’re addicted to MB when you go on it on our iTouch at 6:45 A.M. (guilty. I did that his morning :D)
You know you’re addicted to the scrolly-thing on your mouse when you sit for an hour and spin it ’round an’ ’round.
(Guilty, but more like fifteen minutes.)
You know you’re addicted to letter openers when you continuously open the same letter with one.
(Not guilty, but my dad is.)
You know you’re addicted to strangely shaped staplers when you’re on Google and all you search up is “staplers,” when you should be doing History Day.
(Guilty.)
You know you’re addicted to wanting a pet snake when you constantly attempt to make your stuffed snake come to life.
(So guilty. *sigh*)
You know your addicted to reading when you get 1,276 AR points in one year.
You know you’re addicted to mythology when you keep misreading “Thiokol” as “Thor kol”.
Guilty! Then again, I already knew I’m addicted to mythology. Especially the death related aspects. Especially Norse mythology. You also know you’re addicted to this when you start writing a story about demigods and the main character is the son of Loki.
It might just be willful wish-fulfillment because of how cool it would be to say “The Space Shuttle’s boosters were built by Thor.”
*laughs* I read that as Thai cooking. I guess it’s obvious what I focus on…
Also, I heard the lyric “I wanna free fall, out over Mulholland” as “Out over Valhalla.”
You know you’re addicted to the ceiling fan when you lie on the floor and stare at it for 10 minutes. (Guilty.
)
That sounds peaceful.
It also greatly lowers brain function for about 20 minutes.
I agree with Magnolia.
Guilty!
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when your History Teacher says “Jade” and you automatically think “Jadestone”
(Guilty!)
You know you’re addicted to Doctor Who when some one says “the doctor, who did blah-di-blah” and yell “Doctor Who!”
(Not Guilty, but one of my friends is.)
Or when your mom says ‘plenty’, and you morph that to ‘Penty’.
I wasn’t even around when Pentatonikk (Is thas spelled right? I don’t know…) was!
Maybe I’ve just read too much old MuseBlog.
*that
Hehe. I feel special.
History Day.
You know you’re addicted to procrastinating when…
Enough said.
You know you’re addicted to the URO when you accidentally tell someone Somebody to Love was written by the URO instead of Queen.
(Guilty. I said it to Dave. Such an epically epic fail.)
HAHAHAHA!
No, it was written by the people on Glee, obviously…
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you see a file size written in MegaBytes (MB) and think “MuseBlog”
Guilty!
You know you’re addicted to computers when you see MB as an abbreviation for MuseBlog and think “MegaBytes”
Guilty!
You know you’re addicted to archeology when you RP your demigod character trying to explain to Athena why she can’t get the Elgin Marbles back at once. And you laugh hysterically while you’re writing it.
You know you’re mildly addicted to RPGs when someone says/does something stupid/silly and you say, “Smacks en upside the face, in asterisks” and laugh hysterically.
I do that ALL the time. Only I say things like “runs away” ( see post 56… )
I do that ALL the time. Only I say things like “runs away” ( see post 56… )
Wait, why does it say this is a duplicate comment?!?!
Because of museblog, I use asterisk phrases whenever I’m typing.
For example, I often do *sighs*.
I really need to change my name already.
Ooopsies, I got my email address wrong
Sorry for the above, I’m on my friend’s sister’s laptop and I haven’t really…figured out how to use it properly…
You know you’re addicted to MB when you say/think “en” all the time.
(Sooo guilty. I’ve also had to catch myself from putting “en” in my homework. I just wish it was a word outside of the Musiverse…)
OMG I do that.
I also tell my friend who has a hot pink lunch bag that she could get bunnified, and when I’m frustrated say “Cake.” or when people are acting odd I say “What the cake/caking wung buttons?!” instead of traditional curses.
I say cake too… It just comes out, I don’t even think about it!
Me too! I always want to write it, but then I catch myself. One of these days, it’s gonna end up on an essay though… I can see it now:
Teacher: Isabella, what’s this word here? “en“?
Me: Uhm… I don’t know?
Teacher: Well where did you get it from?
Me: Uhm… Oh look, a bird just smashed into the window! *makes quick escape*
Don’t ask where the bird thing came from… ‘Cuz I don’t know.
No, no, no, it’ll go like this:
Teacher: ________, what’s this word here? “en”?
Me: It’s a gender neutral pronoun.
Teacher: *confused*
Me: *runs*
Oh, sooo guilty!
I deliberated very carefully, and finally actually did send out an email with ‘en’ in it, to a group including my entire family, and a bunch of my parent’s old friends. With a note explaining what it was.
Ah, the Kokonspiracy advances!
You know when you’re addicted to MB when:
You put the words “Have a pie, have a pie, there’s whipped cream and some berries on top, have a pie…” to the song Feeling Good and sing it all the time.
You say “cake” or “caking wung buttons” instead of traditional curses.
You say “en” all the time without thinking.
You warn all of your friends who own something hot pink that they could be bunnified.
You want to have a hot pink handkerchief to carry in your pocket all the time.
You have a hot pink watch that your Grandmother gave you and tell your friends that you’re building up Resistance to the HPBs. And laugh hysterically.
You have plans to make a small pie-shaped cushion with elastic attached to the back that goes around your hand.
All of the above make sense.
I’m guilty of all of the above. And more.
More:
Your ballet teacher calls your friend Mary B “MB” and you burst into hysterics.
Your ballet teacher tells the class to “use your popo muscles!” meaning bottom, and you think of PoPoPo and crack up laughing.
Your friend M has hot pink duct tape and you crack up laughing.
You know you’re addicted to Discworld when you try to type “garlic” and type “garlick” as in Margrat Garlick.
Or when you try to type “anagram” and it comes out “Annagrama” like I just did.
Or when you yell “Crivens!” instead of cake and traditional curses. (Only guilty half of the time)
Or when you play with string and various random objects when you’re bored. (Only guilty most of the time)
Or when you constantly try to use spells from the books. (Guilty)
Uh, I think I’ll stop there.
Or hear “blue people” (referring to Avatar) and think of Feegles.
You know you’re boring when you watch the part in Star Wars where Luke is hanging upside down with his lightsaber just out of reach, and think, “Swing back and forth until you can grab it!” And then are disappointed when he just uses the force.
You know you’re addicted to MB when you watch a documentary about Robert Ballard, and only know who he is because KaiYves mentioned him.
SFTDP.
You know you’re addicted to Doctor Who when you see a picture of R2D2 from Star Wars, and think it’s a Dalek.
Oh no, now I’ll think “Dalek” whenever I see en.
76- Really? Ha, ha!
You know you’re addicted to Buffy when you’re doing a math contest and all the problems are about Luke and Leia, and somehow the first thing you think of isn’t Star Wars but a relatively minor Buffy character named Leia. (Um… yeah. The Buffy connection took 1 nanosecond, while the Star Wars one took 2 nanoseconds. I’m not that unaware of Star Wars.)
Oops. The Buffy character was named Luke. Brain and fingers were not connected there.
I’m so unaware of both Buffy and Star Wars that I had no idea who those people were before I read your post.
You’ve never heard of Luke and Leia? That’s… surprising. The Luke character in Buffy died after the first 2 episodes, so he’s not exactly a main character…
I don’t remember him……Luke from Buffy, that is. I’d heard of Luke and Leia probably a decade before I ever watched any of the Star Wars movies (which was fall ’08…..never got into ’em, didn’t watch ’em all)
Luke was the vessel in the first two episodes. You know, the big vampire fighting for the Master?
There were lots of vampires fighting for the Master…..Oh, I should add that to my list of things in Buffy that make me think of TW (well, in this case, DW). Except it really doesn’t fit awesomely like the others. And I really can’t say any of the three items I have, cuz you’ve not watched any of the eppys they were in.
get on with it, already.
He was the main one in the first two eps. Before he dies, of course.
Well, I’ve decided that I’m watching these too fast, and if I had to do first semester over again… Who am I kidding? I would do exactly the same only I would do this first. *shoots gym teacher*
Seriously, though, blame my friend for forgetting the disks. I’m going to watch ep 2 online tonight.
You know you’re addicted to Torchwood when you’re at work, and the description on the cage card for one of the animals reads “Tx wound”, and which you catch a glimpse of this from the corner of your eye, you do a total double take because you could swear that it said Torchwood.
Guilty, obviously.
I thought there was another “You know you’re….” that I came up with over break (because I was guilty of it, obviously), but I don’t remember.
You know you’re addicted to your iPod Touch when EVERY SINGLE POST that you post with it contains, “Posted from my iPod Touch”. *am about to be guilty*
Posted from my iPod Touch, which I got on Monday
You know you’re addicted to Torchwood when you’re reading Lost Symbol over lunch and a man introduces himself as “Dr. Christopher Abaddon” and your mind immediately latches onto it, thinking, wait, Abaddon? Wasn’t that the name of that evil monster creature that was sucking the life out of Capt Jack in that one episode? and then immediately jumps to a favorite quote from that episode:
“I have searched for the phrase “I will walk the earth and my hunger will know no bounds” but I keep getting redirected to WeightWatchers.”
Obviously I’m guilty–this is way too specific, otherwise.
You also know you’re addicted to forgetfulness when as leaving from lunch, you tell yourself to google “Abaddon” when you get back to you dorm about 10 minutes later to confirm that you are indeed correct, and then don’t remember to actually do so for another 5 1/2 hours…….
Er, SFTDP, but……You know you’re addicted to John Barrowman when you go watch the latest episode of Criminal Minds and it is titled “Risky Business” and your mind immediately jumps to John Barrowman singing “Old Time Rock and Roll” in nothing but polka dot boxers, dress shirt, and socks. It was for a Children in Need broadcast by the BBC. And you immediately picture the clip in your minds eye, fondly remembering spending Thanksgiving Break monitoring the Ebay page where said boxers had been posted for sale to auction off–after having been signed–and wishing that you had a spare $4,000 lying around, as the cost was up to about 2,000 pounds withing two days of them being posted. *sigh* Good times. Oh, wait, I didn’t explain how that ties into the title “Risky Business”. Right before he came out in his boxers, it was commented by the announcer that “If you liked Tom Cruise in ‘Risky Business…..”
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you absolutely have to post that “You know you’re….” the second your mind stops replaying the clip of JB.
Oh, and I remembered the other You know you’re that I mentioned in post 79 I couldn’t remember.
You know you’re addicted to John Barrowman, when you’re at work washing some dog bowls, when suddenly, from the radio in the surgery room right across the hall, you hear music that sounds vaguely familiar and makes you think of John Barrowman, but you can’t figure out why (I’m notoriously bad about being able to place music, even really simple christmas carols)–then, suddenly, you catch more of the tune and words “Old time a rock and roll”, and you realize–of course, that’s what JB was singing in his boxers for Children in Need!!!!!!!
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you randomly see pies around the room and attempt to hit your friends/family/teachers with them…
(Me of all people should know this…O.o)
You know you’re addicted to space travel when a kid in your extra help class asks what a slide rule is and your immediate response is “Remember those things they had in Apollo 13?”
You know you’re addicted to the Beatles when you listen to them so much you acquire a Liverpudlian accent. (Surprisingly not guilty.)
I thought she was a sandwich til she went spare on me finger!
You know you’re addicted to the Beatles when- I saw her standing there, OOOH!
You know you’re addicted to fandom when you create Miis of your favorite pairing and spend about an hour trying to get them to make out. (guilty)
You know you’re addicted to Agatha Christie when your favorite Doctor Who episode includes her. And when you buy 4 books by her when you visit Barnes And Noble, twice the number of Discworld books you bought.
(guilty)
You know you’re addicted to Discworld when you invent a sign language sign for it.
(guilty)
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you know how to sign “I am a giant space squid”
(guilty)
You’re definitely in the right Muse Academy house. I read every book Agatha Christie published. The vast majority of them I read while I was 13-15.
*bows* *worships* *is happy*
You know you’re addicted to the bad guys in books and movies when, on Facebook’s “Pieces of Flair” application, one of the firsts buttons you add says that Tigerstar is cooler than Edward Cullen, and then, on finding out that there are no flairs proclaiming the awesomnes of Christopher Carrion, you make one yourself, and later add a bunch of Zuko flair and make one yourself saying that he was better as a bad guy.
(Quite obviously guilty)
You know you’re addicted to Harry Potter when you keep wanting to make references to the books. To the point of three in two days. Which is a high. But still.
You know you’re addicted to Doctor Who when you’re sitting in Mythology Class copying down the slides your teacher has on the overhead, tuning in and out of what the teacher is actually saying when, all of a sudden you hear “….Daleks.” Your ears perk up, and your brain starts whirling as you think: “What did she just say? I know she couldn’t’ve possibly said Daleks.” and it takes you a full 30 seconds to realize that, in fact, she “dialects”. Not Daleks.
True story, obviously.
My brain spent most of the class reviewing in its mind the first 30 minutes of the TW episode it had watched prior to class–to be fair, the only reason it was thinking about it was because we were discussing Greek mythology, and the episode was entitled “Greek Bearing Gifts” as the alien in it called herself Philoctotes……From Greek mythology.
Anyway, yeah, my brain was already somewhat in Whoville–or at least the neighboring Torchwoodville–so I suppose it’s no surprise I heard Dalek instead of dialect.
Only three in two days!!! I make soooo many more than that!!
“Cast a hover charm on a pie and has it chase Errata around”
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you read about someone who died two centuries ago and think, “oh, too bad en can’t be on MB.”
You know you’re addicted to Harry Potter when you’re reading Hesiod’s Theogony for Classical Mythology and you come across the name Asteria and go, “Hey, Draco’s wife!* Must google to see what the importance of this particular name is…..All Malfoy’s have some sort of constellation type name…..”
There is some disagreement between people whether JKR wrote Asteria or Astoria on the on the family tree on her site. So if you’re thinking, wait, what? No, that’s Astoria, not Asteria, I am unconfusing you. I thought Astoria when I first saw it, but I could be argued either way.
And of course, you know you’re addicted to HP when you’re reading the aforementioned Theogony and everytime you come across the name “Hyperion” your mind shouts “Scorpius Hyperion! *giggle*”
Don’t ask. I never claimed to be sane.
You know you’re addicted to math when you:
~Read the student handbook, see all the lovely things you’ll be doing in Year 10 math, and get insanely excited.
~Read the word “main” as “math” more than once even thought “math” doesn’t make sense in context.
~Start drooling when someone says they go to a math-focused school.
~You use it in your MB name.
~When you want to change your gravatar, half your ideas are math-related.
~Read the Recent Comments bar, see the word “math”, and immediately go to that comment.
~Talk about math so much offline that people are surprised when they find out it’s not your favourite subject.
~Are about to fall asleep at school, then hear your friend and teacher talking about math, so you jerk your head up, look around, and say “did someone mention math”?
~Aren’t surprised that when Kyla BulPopular and the Minions want to insult you, they usually call you a math nerd.
~Take that as a compliment.
~Are actually excited when your parents talk about getting you a new calculator (even though the latest version of what I’ve got now won’t be much different and you’re so bored you’d probably be excited about anything).
~Are annoyed that you can’t come up with even more reasons.
Guilty as charged.
Those aren’t normal? I mean, really…
– The hardest decision about what to do over the summer is what math camp to go to.
-Your usual excuse for not going to something is “I have math team.”
-You are shocked that some people don’t know LaTeX.
-You write problems on a regular basis.
-You have more but your Internet is turning off in two minutes…. (uh, yeah)
Why
iswas your internet turned off? Whenever you can answer.Oh, the school’s Internet turns off at 1 AM every night so that we might actually get some sleep.
Ohhhh….I keep forgetting that most MBers live are in college or whatever.
Boarding school, actually. I think that most colleges don’t shut off the Internet.
Mine certainly doesn’t….Which sometimes I wonder if that’s a good thing, or a bad thing.
LBK–Actually, not that many are in college. I’d say the number who aren’t in college is greater than that of those who are. Although we will be getting an increase in the number of us who are college students next year, as I want to say there is a decent number of high school seniors on the ‘blog.
*sigh* If only my school did have math team… And I’m no good at writing problems. But yes, you are even more of a math geek than me.
Your school doesn’t have a math team? I’m sorry. The ability to be on math team is a basic human right in my opinion.
You know you’re addicted to history when you:
-Look ahead in the book and see we’re doing the Renaissance and Reformation, and almost scream with joy. (Guilty)

You know you’re addicted to MB when you make Miis of all the MBers you know….
Guilty!
Ooh! What’s mine look like? What’s mine look like? Can I come over and play Wii Sports with it now? *gets slightly hyper then sighs when she realizes that would not be possible ever*
It’s got frizzy light brown hair about mid-back length and a red shirt. And round glasses.
Sudo’s has a hot pink shirt and straight waist-length hair with geeky glasses, as well as being half as tall as Armada’s.
But that would be awesome, to play Wii Sports together…. *daydreams* Maybe someday… (on a possibility scale of 1 to 10)
What do I look like? I love making Miis on the Wiis of friends. (I don’t have one myself.)
Do I have one?
I’m pretty sure I don’t have one…Sigh…
You know you’re addicted to other people’s Wii’s (I don’t have one) when every time you go to their house, you instantly make a Chewbacca, ET, and penguin Mii for them.
Me am the guilty.
You know you’re addicted to nature/identifying plants when you look at the cover of Hannah’s Garden and the first thing you notice are the indian’s pipes near the girl’s arm, and the second thing you notice are the johnny jump ups on the bottom, and wonder why they aren’t taking over the garden, like they are in mine. (If you want to see the cover I’m talking about, look at the first google image result).
.
You know you’re addicted to your aquariums when you have dreams about them. (That’s not too creepy, is it?)
94- If she was named Astoria, that would mean she was from Queens…
You know you’re addicted to optical illusions when you:
-stare upside down at the high living room ceiling and think, “Wow, that’s a big swimming pool,”
-google search “Optical Illusions” and try in vain for several hours to cross your eyes, as the writing instructs,
-ask for a book of optical illusions for your birthday,
-think of ways to make “imposssible structures”,
-and read all possible books on the subject so that one day you can make a super-famous optical illusion that will tie the HPBs’ brains in knots.
Guilty of all listed above. Obviously.
Awesome *high fives* *goes to search “optical illusions” on Google*
100-
1) Thank you for your research toward the valiant goal described in your final bullet point.
2) Did you ever lie upside-down on the ground and imagine yourself falling into the sky or is that just me?
You know you’re PIE

You know you’re addicted to Doctor Who when whenever you blink you think “I’m dead.”
You know your friends are addicted to Dr. Who when that makes perfect sense, despite the fact that you’ve never watched any Dr. Who.
You know fellow MuseBloggers are addicted for the same reason.
You know you’re addicted to Harry Potter when your friend is telling you about a demonic voice in a drain, and your mind manages to make the connection to Harry Potter.

You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you misread “Prussia” as “Prussiania”.

You know you’re addicted to the Beatles when you can tell them apart by their lips. (Ringo and Paul are the most obvious.) (Guilty, by the way.)
Of course.
Omgeorge I can do that too! I always thought I was the only one…

You know you’re addicted to MB when every time you hear someone say “cake” you think of a curse word. =)
For example, we were reading this book in English the other day, and since all the characters were eating cake it kept showing up in the sentences. For example, one character said, “Have some cake,” and the other person said, “Can you make my piece of cake bigger?” I couldn’t stop laughing on the inside.
You know you’re addicted to Wikipedia when you…
See blue or purple text and want to click it.

write stories about MuseBloggers.
Tell people who call you “midget” that when Mostly Harmless goes in action they’ll be locked up in a room if hpbs.
Guilty of all above.
I’m guilty of the “cake” one, and when I hear people say “cake” in a calm voice when presented with something hard, it throws me for a loop, until I realize they’re saying “That’ll be easy as cake.”
You know you’re addicted to Star Trek when you say “Deck two” in an elevator instead of presing the floor two button.

You know you’re addicted to space travel when you groan upon seeing this picture:
Hm. 18 times the speed of light, eh? I knew the government secretly knew Einstein was wrong and has been using faster-than-light speed travel to travel to the space station instead of for intergalactic travel!
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you’re in band and a saxophonist gets a nosebleed, and the band teacher says “Go to the nurse. We don’t want blood in here” and you say “Yes we do! Garlic!”
This a letter I found in a very old issue of Muse (September 1999) that I found at a used bookstore. It was written by Dana E. Mannino, age 13, which means that she’s 23 or 24 now.
Dear Muse,
I have enclosed a sure-fire test to see if you are addicted to Muse. It takes only three to five minutes to take, and results are guaranteed. You know you are addicted to Muse when:
1. You can’t decide which came first, Kokopelli or the banana cream pie.
2. You name your dog Cosmo Professor Mastiff.
3. You get an F on your report on the structure of a feather because you mentioned that strength in molecules may come from a diet of doughnuts.
4. You go to a restaurant and ask for “Joe sloppy, an order of the fried ones, and of the one great agitation of the chocolate, please.”
5. You know the names of all of Urania’s sister’s.
6. You have made an appropriate wheel for every terrain on the route to school.
7. You save samples of your vomit when you have the flu, in hope that if you die from it, your samples will help scientists prevent the deaths of others.
8. You ask “What in Thoth’s name” makes you brother’s teddy a bear.
9. You can’t go to sleep at night, because you’ve got to know if Pwt is male or female.
10. You can name all the books that have had reviews on the back of Muse.
120 – Guilty. I assume it’s a typo, and they meant to write “sound”?
Dana made an appearance on MuseBlog during the first month of its existence.
Wow. That’s very cool.
That is great.
That’s great! It was a really nice letter….hmm, wonder where she is now?
Awesome! Wonder where she is now…
122- Yes, it should read “Speed of sound” and CNN did later admit their mistake.
You know you’re addicted to the Beatles when you see someone bouncing their dog and think, “Intermission!”
Furthermore, you know your addicted to the Beatles when you only hear the part of the sentence about “bouncing the dog” and think “Intermission!”
You know you’re addicted to Pokemon when you:
-Start memorizing the numbers of all the Pokemon (guilty)
-Spend your free time drawing Pokemon (guilty)
-Read every Pokemon card you come across and think whether you should draw it or not (guilty)
-Try to draw all 493 (or 495, now that there are two new ones) Pokemon (guilty)
-When ‘Pokemon nerd’ is part of your identity (guilty)
The only valid Pokemon are the original 151.
Those were the originals… now there are a bunch more…
And those 151 are the ones I’ve memorized.
Those 151 are the only ones I recognize as being Pokemon. The rest are just cheap knock-offs which should be spat upon.
Opinion.
Of course, the older ones have had more thoughts put into them, and are somewhat more original…
Original Pokemon for the win!
Yes…in a way…
*sobs at idea of someone spitting upon my wonderful Giratina* *brightens up at the thought of someone else being as addicted as me* *glares at Piggy for hating Giratina* *trains to lvl 100* *Shadow Forces Piggy* *trains Mewtwo also because en is awesome*
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when this happens to you:
I was on another site and we were arguing about music. So I said, “The Beatles is music. Owl City is music. Ke$ha, Jay-Z, Justin Bieber, etc. Is not music.” then I added without thought, “*ducks pies*”
And if that’s not bad enough, a couple minutes later I said, “B likes so-and-so. Oops. Sorry, B, you can zap that post.”
Yes, I am pathetic.
It’s spelled with a $ for an S?! That is the most pathetic thing I’ve heard in a long time.
Isn’t it though?
Yes.
You know you’re addicted to panicking about History Day when you:
1) Have * panicpanicpanicpanicpanic* as your Gmail status, even after you finished the project.
2) Have a dream where everybody finishes their projects and they are perfect, and then the school blows up and all the projects are destroyed.
3) Wait for the school to blow up because of number 3.
4) Are guilty to all of the above.
*is guilty*
You know you’re addicted to space travel when you catch the name “Keith Glennan” on a page in the book you’re reading for school, and then re-read that sentence five times, even though it’s only part of a listing of new events and has no relevance to the story.
(Guilty, the book being In Cold Blood.)
Okay, see post 14.1 in reference to the following:
You know you’re addicted to the Beatles when you refer to your hair length as:
The “Please Please Me” era
The “She Loves You” era
The “Help!” era
The “Yesterday” era
The Candlestick Park era
The “Sgt. Pepper” era
The “Abbey Road” era
The “Let it Be” era
You know you’re addicted to Firefly when you can name all 9 main characters and quote them. (About 77% guilty)
Addicted? You’ve just begun.
*agrees* That’s just normal liking Firefly. Obsession… that’s when you quote Firefly in everyday conversation.
*Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don’t care, I’m still free
You can’t take the sky from me…*
“Take me out to the black
Tell ’em I ain’t comin’ back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can’t take the sky from me…”
“There’s no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can’t take the sky from me…”
“Not since I found Serenity”
Ahhhh….must…watch…
WHY WAS IT CANCELED WHYYYYY
Seriously. If I don’t break out of this obsession, I’m going to have to extract Joss Whedon’s brain and keep it in a tank hooked up to a word processor.
At least there’s the Serenity RPG… though that’s a whole different kettle of fish.
You know you’re addicted to the Beatles when you see a teacup that fell into a box of clementines on the counter and immediately think of Yoko Ono sending John Lennon a broken red cup in a box of Kotex.
You know you’re addicted to the Beatles when you’re listening to them, and your earbuds fall out. You keep singing the song in your head, and when you get your earbuds back in, it’s still in perfect time with the song.
You know you’re addicted to a certain album when after you hear one song, the next immediately starts in your head.
Guilty to both.
You know addicted to ANATO ( A Night at the Opera – it’s a Queen album) when hearing Death On Two Legs without Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon after it makes you flip out. (Guilty. That makes me go crazy. Or if I hear Prophet’s Song without Love of my Life. Or anything off the B-Side of Abbey Road alone.)
I read that as “A Night in the Ocean” for some reason.
The second one always happns to me. It drives my friends and mom crazy when we listen to the One album in the car, and every time one song ends I immediately sing the first couple of notes of the next song. It’s also kid of weird when I listen to my iPod on shuffle and a song ends and I keep thinking the next song is going to be [whatever], but it’s not.
That happens to me all the time with Queen Greatest Hits.
You know you’re addicted to the Beatles if your little sister, or anyone really, skips Taxman, you totally freak out and sing it constantly for the rest of the day. (Guilty. (But any song would work.))
You know you’re addicted to Kokonventions when even though the idea of going to one makes you feel sort of nervous, when other people go to one you keep checking the clock and wonder how it’s going and where they are.
Definitely guilty. I even set my alarm on my watch to 12:30 just so that I could know when they were meeting up.
I suppose I really am obsessed. “Hmm, maybe they’re seeing each other for the first time now.”
O.o
I did that too! It wasn’t just me?

Guilty of all.
The inside, too?
When viewed from above, part of the inside shows.
SFTDP: Oh, and when you begin inventing a trading card game called “Mariomon.” And when you start designing all the sprites for a Mario game.
Yea.
You know you’re addicted to space travel when the shingles on your friend’s roof get blown off and end up all over the sidewalk in front of her place and your first reaction is to say “Look how many tiles you lost!” (Because apparently roofing shingles look like space shuttle tiles.)
You know you’re addicted to David Bowie/Ziggy Stardust when
You spend over half an hour looking at pictures of him

You’re (mostly) enemies for life with your social studies teacher because of an argument over whether Bowie or the Doors is better
You yell “Ground control to Major Tom!” whenever you walk by Princess_Magnolia
When you jump out of a plane, you yell “BOWIIIIIIIIE!” instead of “KAHILIIIIII!”
(Guilty of all except the last)
I once earned discounted tickets to a Bowie video marathon by dressing as Ziggy Stardust. I dyed my hair and styled it to match.
That is amazing.
Oh! I forgot one!
You know you’re addicted to Bowie when you’re planning to dress up as en for Halloween, so you don’t get any haircuts until after the day before Halloween so that your hair will be the right length for a red mullet.

You look for everything and anything relating to it.
Guilty to all.
MAY INVOLVE SOME POSSIBLE SPOILERS! POSSIBLE DOCTOR WHO SPOILERS!
Question: Speaking of Bad Wolf, wasn’t the nuclear facility that what’s her name, the Slitheen that survived, who was on the ep Boom Town with Captain Jack, working to design/whatever called Blaidd Drwg, or something that was supposed to be Bad Wolf in Welsh? I’m asking because, on the first TW book, the one I read on the plane last Saturday night/Sunday (Another Life), this nuclear facility was mentioned in it. And it was haunting me, that it was that same place…..And, of course, the incomprehensible pronunciation of Welsh was haunting me, as well. How on earth are you supposed to say vowelless words?
How to say vowelless words? Uh…. magic? No, wait! I’ve got it!….
Sonic screwdrivers!
I don’t really know, but in the episode they say “Blade Dog” as far as I remember
You know you’re addicted to Doctor Who when

Guilty of those and many more. XD
Yeah, then you wanted me to lift up MY bangs.
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when…
Someone mentions juice and you think of Mr Joe.
Something funny happens and you think it would make a good SSSS.
You English teacher writes ZVX on the board and you think of ZVX the MBer, even though you haven’t seen en post for months.
You know you’re addicted to ColdPlay when you read “autoplay” on YouTube as “ColdPlay”. Repeatedly.
You know you’re addicted to Spock/Star Trek when:
-The reason you spend so much time on YouTube is because you’re watching Spock-related videos.
-You see a picture of Lenin and think it’s Nero.
-You look at a guy with dark hair and suffer intense disappointment when you realise he doesn’t look like Spock.

-You check what tabs you have open and over half of them are Star Trek-related.
You know you’re addicted to space travel…

– And mouth the words in tune with JFK…
– Without realizing you’re doing it.
SFTDP
You know you’re addicted to space travel when you hear “I’m going to land the LEM way better than Pete Conrad.” in a movie and you get why it’s funny. (Guilty)

*feels slightly disappointed I didn’t make that connection*
You know you’re addicted to Doctor Who when you are planning to buy a gas mask, and acquire a convenient scar on the back of your right hand, and dress up as Nancy’s “brother” for Hallow’s Eve. (Guilty. I am as soon as I find a gas mask.)
*would be absolutely terrified of you in that costume* Awesome idea, though.
*Mummy? Are you My Mummy?* Awesome costume… you know you are addicted to Who when you’re looking at a museum with pictures of people in gas masks and you think *Mummy? Are you My Mummy?*
*runs away screaming* I think the same thing… And the children’s book “Are you my Mommy” has been ruined for me.
Same here.
They sell them in the Army Navy shop in ProvinceTown. I know because I went there on a school trip and someone bought one.

Moi? Awesome? Surely you’re joking, Mr. Ladus!
Vanessa Williams singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” (quite well), and then some fireworks go off, and then four F-16s fly towards the stadium, and then the one flown by the mission commander’s son breaks off and rockets (that’s the only word) straight up to make it the Missing Man Formation, and the remaining three jets fly over the stadium, and it’s just…

You know you’re addicted to fantasy books when you start thinking in old-timey language. :/
You know you’re addicted to Star Trek when you try and say “xkcd would be NC-17 rated” and actually say “xkcd would be NCC-1701-D rated”. (Which, I suppose, it is.)
WIN.
You know you’re addicted to Star Trek when you hear the word “Genesis” and think of the Genesis Project in “The Wrath of Khan” before you think of the book in the Bible. When you’re in religion class and haven’t seen the movie.
I did something like that years ago, except I was thinking of the X-Men storyline “Second Genesis”.
I think of “Genesis of the Daleks”. XD
You now you’re addicted to Mythbusters when you can tell when Jaime has trimmed his mustache. (Guilty.)
Nice.
*pays PoPo fine*
Seconded.
You know you’re addicted to reading when you read two books in a day and then you feel horrible and lazy for not reading more.
You know you’re addicted to – what’s that game for the iTouch, texttwist? – when you try to make words out of things that only have two letters. Or a three-letter abbreviation, such as “FSN”. *facepalm*
You know you’re addicted to Doctor Who and/or Star Trek when:
-You hear someone mention the 60’s and immediately think “The decade Star Trek and Doctor Who started, so it must have been pretty awesome”.
-Your friend says she likes [random guy who goes the local boys’ school]’s scarf and you say it looks like the fourth Doctor’s scarf.
-Think all robots are Cybermen.
You know you’re addicted to the Disney Theme Parks when you only recognize the United Technologies logo because they sponsored The Living Seas.
You know you’re addicted to watching a certain character on Avatar, the Last Airbender when:
1) You have a ton of boards on Facebook’s Pieces of Flair application, and each one has at least one flair about him, most have two, and you’ve made some of them yourself
and
2) You refuse to see the live-action movie because your friend told you the actor who plays him is ugly, and you both think that is a travesty
(I can reveal which character I mean by describing more symptoms of my addiction)
Also, because of what happened to me just now, you know you’re addicted to mint when, while on the computer with headphones on, you hear a your mom say “mint” and you run off into the kitchen where she is talking to her friend)
Aang? Zuko? Sokka?
OK, to reveal the character I meant I will describe more symptoms.
1) You realize you have a thing for scars
2) You get angry when, on joining the good side, he seems to loose half his IQ
3) Half of the aforementioned flairs about him that don’t have his picture say “firebending” on them somewhere
Zuko, then.
GO ZUKO!!!
I’m addicted to him too… even though I’m a girl, I made a sunscreen “scar” for myself. Then I tied ribbons around my hands and pretended I was firebending. Then I tried and eventually succeeded to do my hair in that weird bun-on-top-of-my-head thing. One of my favorite quotes is “Why am I so bad at being good?!” Another is when Uncle Iroh says, “This tea is nothing more than hot leaf juice!” and Zuko says, “Uncle. That’s what ALL tea is.” I could go on about Zoko all day, but I don’t have all day, soooo…
You know you’re addicted to Doctor Who when you hear the “tonight I’mma fight till I see the sunlight” line in the song Tik Tok and think of the DW episode Gridlock.
XD That didn’t really occur to me, and I just watched that episode…. *fail*
That song makes me think of Ringo.
I wake up in the morning feeling like Pete Best!
This one blogger I like did an icon that says “Wake up in the morning feelin’ like Al Shepard.”
I think it’s hysterical.
That would happen to me were I to listen to that song.
You know you’re addicted to Doctor Who when you meet someone odd and think, “Maybe they’re a Time Lord”, as an explanation.
you know you’re addicted to Doctor who when you FINALLY get around to calling one of your best friends (whom you haven’t seen in an awfully long time) and the 2 of you spend half an hour discussing who and repeating who lines and laughing a whole lot.
*looks innocent* Now, when did that happen?
*returning “innocent” look* Hmm, now, let’s think….
I always think of Back To The Future, and here’s why:
{snip! Sorry, Anomylous; we don’t have time to check links. –Admin.]
(hope the link works…)
You know you’re addicted to dictionaries when:
1) While reading a book with two or three words in it you do not know but could understand generally from context, if you have a dictionary within reach you have to mentally restrain yourself from looking up every word three syllables or longer, even ones you already know. (Obviously guilty to make it so specific)
2) Whenever you need to look something up, you know you will take twice as long as other people because you will be distracted and look up any words you see that look interesting.
(Guilty again)
One my favorite words I found in the dictionary:
Zanana. A place in a house in India of Pakistan reserved for women.
Zanana. Isn’t that a marvelous word?
How ’bout the spanish “trabajabamos” (we worked in genral, not at a specific time) The imperfect may be a pain, but it causes some amazing verb conjugations.
“Hablaba” is great just for sounding really silly.
‘Tis.
I really like “Triana”. It was the name of somebody on Columbus’ expedition and a proposed climate satellite. It just sounds so regal.
Triana.
You know you are obsessed with Pokemon when you go on Serebii.net second thing after MuseBlog, and you get angry with people for insulting my favorite Pokemon *coughPiggycough* and you burst into tears when your Mewtwo can’t go into the Battle Frontier, and you’ve memorized ALL the Pokemon, even the new ones, and you know the Japanese names of all your favorites. Mewtwo, Giratina, Cacnea and Absol. I have all four in each one of my games except Mewtwo. And I got the second Giratina without cheating. Or trading.
…er, when did I insult any Pokemon? *has no memory of doing such a thing*
You said that any Pokemon other than the original 151 were only cheap knock-offs and deserved to be spat upon.
I never insulted any Pokemon specifically.
But Mango’s favorite Pokemon was no doubt in that group, so you still insulted it.
It would be like me badmouthing, say, country music in general and someone taking it personally because they like a specific country singer.
How about when you know the Pichu Brothers’ theme song by heart, both in English and Japenese, and you don’t even speak Japanese?
You know you’re addicted to pentominoes when you see them EVERYWHERE (“the space between those two classes could be neatly filled by an L piece”, “oh, an F piece would fit nicely there”). [Guilty, when we were doing pentominoes every day in math class after the seniors left.]
Very guilty, especially for the tiles on the bathroom floor in our school. Some of the patterns actually ARE shaped like pentominoes, so I try to make squares and rectangles…
Read the book Chasing Vermeer and its sequels, if you haven’t already.
Aha, so that’s what it was called.
Piggy: You said that all the new Pokemon should be spat upon. *glares*
*highfive*
Have you seen Generation 5 yet? They’re not getting better, but once I get used to them…
And, I admit it- I’m addicted to pentominoes too. Whoopee.
You know you’re addicted to Star Wars when you know that the Millennium Falcon was manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, and it’s “VIN” number is YT-1300.
Gah. VIN == Vehicle Identification Number.
You know you’re addicted to Red Dwarf when you start thinking in the voices of the characters.
Guilty as charged.
You know you’re addicted to Star Trek when you try to make the peace sign and automatically do the Vulcan salute.
You know you’re addicted to Doctor Who when you think you hear the TARDIS landing in the middle of a concert. I still have no clue what that sound was.
Perhaps is was the TARDIS.
I know that one night, I thought I heard the TARDIS.
I wish it was… :/
this post reminds we of when little kids say “I thought I heard santa’s sliegh bells on christmas eve!!” pretty analagous, actually.
Hey. Are you calling me a little kid? THAT’S NOT COOL MAN.
Cuz, y’know, it’s not like I walk around in a cape and pretend to fly at VBS or anything.
.
No, no beedle’s not a little kid. Beedle is an MBer. there’s a difference.
not much
True.
You know you’re addicted to Pokemon when:
– your best friends are Pokemon
– all you do on deviantArt is look through Pokemon art and manage Pokemon groups
– you doodle Pokemon and start giving them extra things until they end up with a wholoe page of messiness
– you draw Pokemon for seven hours a day
– you know every numbered Pokemon and keep up (kind of) on the 5th Generation ones
– you spend your free time orgainzing your Pokemon notes
– you compile your own PokeDex
– you try to draw every single one of them
– you identify yourself as a ‘Pokemon mad artist’
– you want to cry when Pokemon are insulted
– your dream is to become like one of your Pokemon character idols…
– you identify as a Pokemon.
Guilty to all.
Guilty of all except:
2) I don’t use deviantArt
4) I’m not that artsy
6) My Pokenotes are in my head
8) See 4
9) See 4
10) I get angry instead
As for 3, I did that with you!
I don’t want to make you cry so I will not say anything beyond this sentence.
…okay.
You know you are addicted to Harry Potter when you stay up till four in the morning to find out the Prophecy.
You know you’re addicted to art history when you mishear “Wormhole” as “Warhol”.
My mom is guilty.
I keep up with all the Gen. 5 ones. I even know about the possible Luvdisc evolution and possible (to me, at least) Skitty pre-evolution. You also know you’re addicted when:
-You’ve made a whole region, complete with towns, Elite 4/ Gym Leaders, Gym challenges, routes, and Pokemon with stats and Pokedex entries and cries. And have memorized everything you’ve created.
-You absolutely must have your Demigod RPG character be addicted, too, even though it seems really weird for him.
-The only thing you ever play at home is Pokemon. Everything else is boring.
-You create new Pokemon so often that you call yourself a “Pokemon Spewing Machine”.
-Your favorite cousin is the one that likes Pokemon as much as you do, and has watched all the Japanese movies. (No duh- her mom is Japanese.)
-You have made a patented Foul Poffin out of squished Razz Berries and burnt Cheerios.
-You have beaten every other person you’ve battled live- even the cousin with 2 Lvl. 100 Regigigases.
-You have about 50+ other reasons why you like them, but are getting way too excited now so you must stop.
Yup, that’s me. Guilty as charged. Who wants a Foul Poffin?
Guilty of all except 2 and 3, with the following changes:
-I don’t give myself a title for creating Pokemon, but rather for kicking butt with my created Pokemon in my created regions (Yes I’ve created more than one)
-I have no Japanese relatives, the cousin just watches all the Pokemon movies
-My bad Poffin was Bluk Berry and Tortilla Chip, while I made a good one of Wiki and Mago (OK, it was really a smoothie, but I pretended it was a Poffin)
-My toughest opponent was my brother, with level 100 Dialga, Palkia and Giratina
Hey, I should try that sometime. That Wiki/Mago Berry one should be Aprijuice. I’ve made that too. With Red Apricorns and Ylw Apricorns. Yummy! My sister is sort of good, but she’s not as good as me. Her lvl. 100 Giratina quailed under the force of mine. DRACO METEOR!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA….. HA….. ha….. ahem. (My Mewtwo: You’re even worse than me. Me: You’re the one who eats garbage off the floor of the Goldenrod Tunnel!!! Mewtwo: *turns red* Uh, that was just a default game thing??? Me: Riiiight.)
It was before Heart Gold/Soul Silver came out that I made the “Poffins”.
I had no Draco Meteor at the time (it was soon after I got Platinum, I got it late). Ooh! Mewtwo! Tied with Darkrai for my second favorite Pokemon after Gengar! Cskia taught me to bring my Pokemon into the Real World, where they become intangible, and invisible to those not looking for them. I’ve never gone anywhere without Pokemon since! (Some, of course, were ones I made up.) (My Sceptile says hi.)
You know you’re addicted to math camp when…
-You have a nightmare that it’s over and your parents won’t possibly let you go back next summer. (Guilty. I was crying in the dream. Given that this will happen in 2 weeks, I probably will be crying then too. I have issues.)
-You can’t believe that some people don’t know who John Conway is. (Occasionally guilty.)
-You sometimes forget that in the real world, when you press people’s noses, they don’t do anything. (Guilty.)
-It takes a few hours to mentally process the fact that your theoretical computer science class is over. (So guilty.)
And:
-You say things like “mentally process the fact” instead of “realize.”
What happens when you press a math camper’s nose?
It activates their nose function. Different people have different nose functions. I say “bleh”, which is terribly uninspired. But there are people who make funny noises or recite pi or imitate the person who pressed their nose. And then there are some people who have toggles, which means that they keep doing something (eg hopping, spinning in circles, or speaking in a foreign language) until their nose is pressed again. There are endless possibilities. Toggle functions are so abusable.
*presses Speller’s nose*
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you switch your iPod keyboard to Icelandic. (mostly for þ and ð.)
Bleh. (As for the keyboard, that’s cool.)
The one problem is that it doesn’t have any autocorrect, so I have to type all my words carefully until it learns them.
Randemosity!!! How do you bring Pokemon into the real world??? I MUST HAVE A MEWTWO AND A GIRATINA!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA- (My Mewtwo: Again with the evil laugh! I stopped doing that ages ago! Me: I wish you’d stop electrocuting yourself at Bill’s grandpa’s house. Wait… you’re talking and that means you’re real! YAY! *skips around while a very embarrassed Mewtwo looks at ground) But what about my Giratina? And my Absol? And my Cacnea? And my Scizor? And- (Giratina: GIRAAA!!! *is very ticked off*) Well, that answers that…
You seem to have figured it out on your own! (In case you forget, the key is IMAGINATION.) I remember Cskia bringing a Magikarp and Lucario every day to art class… *trails off into happy memories* (My Sandshrew, Jefano: Hey, Mango! Can I meet Mewtwo? En sounds awesome! Me: I agree, Jefano. Just make sure not to challenge en. I’m fairly certain en is a higher level.)
P.S. Mango, I believe you are quite awesome.
You’re lucky you talk to Pokemon, I just talk to my characters…
HOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOW???????????????????????????????????
How do I talk to my characters? I just imagine how they’d react to things I see or do.
I actually meant the Pokemon.
You know you’re addicted to aerospace when you misread “Payne Whitney Gym” as “Pratt and Whitney Gym”.
Or when you just misread that as Whitney’s Gym (Whitney is a Normal-Type Gym Leader, that is a sure sign of PokeAddiction. Thank you, I like it when people think I am awesome. You’re awesome too! (Mewtwo: Yeah, but I’m awesomer. Jefano, I’ll teleport over to your house for a while! *teleports*)
You know you’re addicted to pokemon when you steal your friend’s manga book and refuse to give it back.
(Blade the Gallade: Ha, I remember that! That was funny.)
(Xenon the Prinplup: Aw, I wish I’d been there…)
180- I misread it like that too! Jefano seems to like Mewtwo, even though he just knocked him over when he teleported. (Mewtwo is a he, right?)
181- Nice avatar! Got a bid for Black/White too? (Amenoi the Pidgeot: Hi Blade and Xenon!)
You know you’re addicted to Warriors when you start writing a fanfic where you are a cat in BloodClan, and you are dissapointed at the number of Jawpaw HeartsStick flair available on Facebook. (So guilty…)
YAY!!!ANOTHER FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know you are addicted to Maximum ride when you eat and read and beg for the manga series.
You know your addicted to Pokemon when you start patting the Pokemon, which nobody but you see, and people think your delusional.
You know your addicted to getting your class list when you stare at the monitor going: willlitcomewilllitcomewilllitcomewilllitcomewilllitcomewilllitcomewilllitcomewilllitcomewilllitcomewilllitcomewilllitcomewilllitcome? for at least 10 minutes.
(My Gyrados says hi, and I say awesome avatar.)
( My dragonair says hi, and so does my raichu. )
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you verb it.
Actually, that’s not all that addicted. You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you verb it to mean the equivelant of googling something by asking MuseBlog.
You know you’re addicted to verbing when you use the word “verb” as a verb.
You know you’re addicted to reading old-fashioned books, historica fiction, and history-based fantasy novels (and completely oblivious to the present) when you read about a girl from 1896 and one from the present, who switch places in time, and you honestly have much more difficulty understanding the slang from the present than you do from the past. Bonus points if this book takes place in your area, so you know it can’t just be colloquialisms differing between regions.
Guilty.
You know you’re addicted to everything to do with tardigrades (even though I don’t think they can be called an addiction, just an extreme obsession) when you
-Know what they are*
-Spend hours reading about them, and watching basically pointless videos of them moving
-Buy a pillow with a picture of one on it…
-And a stuffed animal version of one
-Bring them up in all sort of random conversations until you’ve driven everyone you know crazy with your ranting
-Find a poem about it in a book after much perseverance and keep a copy in your room at all times
-Pin a poster of one to your bedroom wall
-Are kept awake at night wondering about how well their eyesight is, as no-one really knows
-Take out a microscope, find some moss, and sit staring at them for hours
-Look for them whenever you see any relevant books that might have information
-Sqeal if they actually do have it
-List them on this thread even though, to your mind, they don’t even count as an addiction
-Celebrate on September 3rd, the day they were first discovered
I’m guilty of most of those, although even I could not get quite all…
*For those who DON’T know what they are, tardigrades=microscopic animals resembling bears and inhabiting moss cushions worldwide, which (the tardigrades, not moss cushions) can survive extreme temperatures, vacuums, open space, drought, solar radiation, and just about everything else by folding their bodies into what’s called a tun, and they don’t eat, drink, move, or even breathe for what can be decades, but if you just add water they come back to life like instant coffee! And they’re so unlike any other living organism that they have their own phylum, and there’s an almost serious debate about whether or not they’re extraterrestrials. And they’re cute. And each tardigrade has 8 legs, a brain, and smooth muscle control!
Dude, tardigrades are awesome.
I would have a Mewtwo avatar if I could, but as I can’t I will be happy with the Mewtwo I’ve got. I love Reshiram. I have such good psychic powers that I managed to get my sister to get White version when it comes out, even though she now likes fire-types (that’s because of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and since my favorite character is Zuko, everyone else seems to now like him too. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t the oldest child in my family…) Speaking of Avatar:
You know you’re addicted to Avatar when you have a Steel-Type, and someone uses a Fire-Type move on it, and even though it says super-effective, you wonder how that can be because in Avatar the firebenders couldn’t land a hit on Toph in her metal suit.
Also, you know you’re addicted to Pokemon when you watch that same episode of Avatar, see the firebenders’ failure to hit Toph, and think, “But fire is super effective on Steel-Types!”
Clearly: Guilty to all.
Ooh! Guiltyguiltyguiltyguilty. Sorry, I’m nearly as addicted to Avatar as to Pokemon. And Zuko’s my favorite too. With a tie between Jet and Mai for second.
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when…
A. You see a sign for “Northwood Cabins” and honestly think it says “Torchwood Cabins” until you’re like 20 feet away from it, AND you’ve only heard of Torchwood from Luna the Lovely.
and
B. You are outside at night, waiting for your friend to come back from retrieving something from their house, and you are thinking about MB and you suddenly get really creeped out because you are afraid a Weeping Angel is in the vicinity, even though you only very remotely know what a Weeping Angel is, and then only from Luna, Enc, and other Doctor Who fans, and you’ve never seen a single episode of Doctor Who.
You know you are slightly addicted to Japan (I mean, like, learning Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji) when you make your mom go out and buy all the stuff needed to make Udon noodles, Sushi, and Red Bean Cake. ( No, it is not a real cake. Just cooked and pureed Azuki beans in gelatin. Yum.) Also if your name on MB means something in Japanese. (Mikazuki means new moon.) And if you can’t stop reading books about ninjas, samurai, and ancient Japan. (In Japan, “Japan” translates to “Wakarimasu”.)
What do you mean, “In Japan, ‘Japan’ translates to ‘Wakarimasu'”?
Japanese people don’t say ‘Japan’ they say Wakarimasu. (silent u.) As in, “I live in Wakarimasu.” only they would say ‘I live in’ in Japanese. Confusing, yes?
I’m 99% positive Japan is called Nihon.
Ack, sorry!!! ‘Wakarimasu’ means japanese not Japan… Again, sorry for the mistake….
No, Japanese like the language is Nihongo. Japanese like the ethnicity is Nihonjin.
Ugg. I’m really sorry, I seem to be making a lot of mistakes lately. I got that wakarimasu means ‘Japanese’ off a website, which put it like this:
Nihongo ga chotto= I understand a little
Wakarimasu= Japanese
They switched it around, like you said, Nihongo=Japanese… Wakarimasu means understand, I think. At least, I think. Sorry, I copied down this phrase in my notebook, and just didn’t really think about it…
‘Sfine. Not your fault, right? I copy stuff off of translation websites all the time and make tons of mistakes.
You know you’re addicted to the space shuttle when the two DVDs you want for the next holiday are The Dream is Alive and the TV movie Challenger (Even though you’ve been told the last one sucks and the actors don’t look like the real people.)
You know you’re addicted to A Very Potter Sequel when you scream and do a happy dance for joy the minute you see that it’s been uploaded to YouTube OH MY GOD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
You know you’re addicted to zombies when OOH! ZOMBIESZOMBIESZOMBIESZOMBIESZOMBIESZOMBIESZOMBIESZOMBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, what was I talking about?
Zombies.
@Randemosity101: Wow. We’re like twins or something… 0.o Those are my second favorite characters too…
Wow. Freaky. I’m blogsisters with LBK, but I don’t have a twin. What was your reaction when Toph accused Katara of having a “secret thing with Haru”? Mine was “Well duh!”
I just paid attention to the whole “Zuko sarcasm/ Aang believing Zuko sarcasm” thing that happened next. Gluebending? Never heard of that one before…
That was funny. Toph’s yell caught my attention for some reason. One question, are you addicted to zombies? If not, we are not quite twins.
You know you’re addicted to zombies when you mean to type “Pokemon” and type “zombies” instead. (Guilty just now.)
You know you’re addicted to Pokemon when:
1) You can win a battle without ever looking at what you’re doing (OK, he sent out Raticate, the move I want is in the upper right corner.)
2) Your brother is playing Fossil Fighters, and you keep getting confused because the music sounds almost exactly like the music from Mystery Dungeons
3) Whenever you hear any of the Pokemon theme songs, you automatically start singing along
4) You call the characters in Sonic Unleashed the names of Pokemon you think they look like. (Nightime Sonic is a Mightyena, for instance)
5) Your friends associate you with your favorite Pokemon (I recently rediscovered a bunch Cskia’s drawings of me crossed with a Gengar or Ghastly)
(Obviously guilty of all)
Guilty of number 3 for all series up to Orange Islands.
You know you’re different when “I’m going to the game tonight” means it’s Wednesday and you are going to your D&D group.
(Guilty)
Different? You know you’re different when you
-Eat spaghetti with a spoon (and consider it much easier than with a fork)
-Think balancing one book on your head while reading another and possibly walking at the same time for good measure is fun (much more so than, say, watching television)…
-Regularly, without even thinking about it, say things like, “I lack a pencil; have you an extra I could borrow?” rather than, “I don’t have a pencil; do you have an extra I could borrow?”
Et cetera, Guilty of all…
But there isn’t exactly such a thing as a normal person who gets Muse magazine anyway, so it makes sense that we’d have things to say on the subject..
-Uh, how is that different? I was under the impression that most people did that.
-I agree that that sounds fun. (I dislike most television, so…)
-I do that about half the time.
I bet you could tell some interesting stories…
Guilty of all, guilty of all, all the different ones and the Pokemon ones- and the zombie ones, too. I love crossing people with Pokemon. It’s so fun that I’m writing a whole book about it. On… a typewriter. Aren’t I awesome. I base all the awesome ones (Giratina/ Mewtwo, and yes, they are one person) off of me, the horrible ones (Magikarp, Bidoof) off my brother, and the overly happy ones (Mew, Togepi) off my sister. And you know you are addicted to making Ash seem dumb when you point out every last not-so-smart sounding thing he says, along with obvious solutions to every problem he faces. Like:
In the First Movie, the whole fighting thing didn’t have to happen. Ash could have just returned his Pokemon. Instead of stupidly trying to punch Mewtwo in the stomach. Twice.
Do you like Ash? Or do you think he’s stupid? If you agree with me, we are twins. If not, then I must say, we’re very different.
I think of people as either their favorite Pokemon or the Pokemon I think they are most like (the older of my younger brothers is a Zubat, the weak and annoying kind that show up everywhere in caves), which I don’t think is quite the same thing. And yes, you are awesome.
Actually, I have been known to say that the Pokemon TV show is horrible because the lack of intelligence of the characters maligns Pokemon. (Keep in mind that I think all of the characters you see consistently are stupid to varying degrees, with the exeption of Nuirse Joy and Officer Jenny.)
So you are addicted to zombies? This is starting to scare me.
Just wondering, are you a guy or a girl?
OK Mango, as the similarities are starting to scare me, I have one final test: do you like angsty music?
And just out of curiosity, may I inquire to your gender?
Yes, Ash is really dumb. Red is much cooler.
What pokemon do you think I am? I think I’m a Zangoose, because I can be sweet when I want to, but tend to blow up when I get angry.
I think you’re a Staraptor. Just like what said with Zangoose, but with a bit of creativity, and a hint of explorer. I know those traits from your posts.
MANGO!!!!!!!!!!!! Where’d you go?!?
You know you’re addicted to Pokemon when you keep accidentally calling Mango “Mago” (as in Mago berry) when talking about en in real life. (The same goes for the fruit, and yes I am guilty.)
SFTDP This thread has an awful lot of posts, maybe we could have a new one? Please?
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you insist on painting on a giant glitter glue pie on your favorite tee-shirt.
You know you’re addicted to DnD if you bring character sheets to school and fill them out with your friends during recess. And you convince your friend to bring her set of dice to school so that you can roll character scores during lunch. Also, if you think that reading the DnD manual is really, really, pietacuarly fun.Guilty.
You know you’re addicted to stories when your dad tells you he’s going to drop you off at the library for two hours, and you say “Great! I’ll finally have enough time to look at everything I want to see!” and/or when you try to go to Facebook and you accidentaly end up at FanFiction.net instead.
199- How about making a pie-shaped pin in 3D Arts class like I did in eight grade? And you like D&D? Awesome! I’m just getting into it, so I’m kind of a D&D neophyte…
I just just lurve MRAs fanfics.
Sorry about the PoPo.
You know your addicted to Maximum Ride when you wish that you could join the flock.
Well, Kirk/Spock is usually far more entertaining than populars filling up my newsfeed with annoying comments.
I’m very selective in who I friend (no-one I don’t know in real life or MB), so there are no “Populars to clog up my newsfeed. Though I freely admit the Candy/Carrion, Warriors fanfics, and Sharley/Mekhemet are far more entertaining than Facebook apps!
Yay, Kirk/Spock! *Is the only guy I know that likes that sort of thing.*
Though I have to love Sulu/Chekov.
And Spock/Uhura, although I’d probably read any pairing that involved Vulcans.
Meh… Spock/Uhura doesn’t have any base in the show…
I mean, Kirk/Spock has a base, since Kirk is capt. and Spock is right after him.
Sulu/Chekoc has a base, since they’re both yellow shirts.
Even Spock/McCoy has a base, since they’re both blue shirts.
But Spock/Uhura? Randomness from the recent movie producers.
Still, it’s great seeing Spock make out with someone, even if I’d rather it was Kirk.
D&D is AWESOME!! The only problem is, my group kind of fell apart, and now we can’t finish the campain we’re doing. Only my friend( DM) and me remain. She is playing a character even though she is the Dungeon Master, and I am playing two, and our Cleric just left, so we’re pretty much doomed. However, in eight grade we will get more kids because…long story…and we will be able to do it again. Or maybe this year if we get a new kid. I’m kinda a neophyte too.
We’re still slogging through our first campain. It is taking a while. What version do you play? Also, what class are you? I am playing a Half-elf Druid and a Halfling Rouge. And my Druid has this AWESOME riding dog as her animal companion…. Sorry, I’ll stop going on and on and on about this now.
Aww *sympathetic pies*
The D&D group I go to is the “official” kind that plays in a game store that also does Magic: The Gathering and other game events. That means that we play new D&D senarios as soon as they come out. We’re currently playing the teaser for Dark Sun, which is version 4. In this particular event (the last encounter of which is this week) we choose from pre-made characters. I joined late, so I took the only character left. It was fine though, because the character is a Tiefling mage with two ranged and two melee At-Will attacks, not to mention his Once-Per-Encounter ones.
That sounds cool! I’ve never played V. 4, so I don’t know what it’s like, but I’ve always wanted to be a mage. We play V. 3.5, because my friend’s dad plays D&D too, and he had all the equiptment. Which includes plastic monsters.
What is your teaser/campain about?
Version 4 is awful. Don’t try it- it’s like a video game, and also there isn’t much difference between species.
I’m not an active D&D player, but my Dad was and was a dungeon master in college.
4 is not awful. There are things about it that bug me, but it’s perfectly playable.
Mostly that there’s this superpowerful mage called the Wastewalker who attacks a caravan that happens to be holding this fighting group. He kills most of them, and traps the rest in a cave. The campaign is trying to get out of the cave, battling cave-dwelling monsters most of the time. (Such as Hedgekin, a giant spider, and animated gauntlets. Yes, gauntlets.)
Guess who’s having a D&D campaign 1970s edition? This guy
!
Ah. Interesting! Our campain is a lot different:
A priest has disapeared in the town of (?). A new priest(Cleric who deserted us) is sent from the north to investigate and take over the job of priest. She asks if she can take her friend, a sheriff(My friend, also the DM), with her to help. Her boss/the person in charge fires the old sheriff and sends them on their way. Upon checking into the sheriff’s office, the sheriff notices that only one cell is filled. …………..A rouge(Me!) is in the cell. The sheriff frees the rouge on the condition that she is to help them.
And thus our story begins.
My charactars are actually pretty powerful, which is suprising since they all were extremely powerful before, and we had to redo them using a better system. One thing I like about playing a rouge is that you get an extra attack sometimes, which comes in handy. My druid is pretty powerful too, but her riding dog is a superb fighter. *happiness*
Sorry, that was long.
That’s an interesting backstory! Your character sound pretty cool, and so does her riding dog.
You can see a list of quotes from that interesting enounter in Quotations 2010.2, post 256 if you like.
‘Kay.Thanks!
There’s a store we drive past sometimes, D&D Farm & Ranch Supplies. I think that’s hilarious and I don’t even play D&D (we use a much older and more obscure system).
*snorticles*
199, 200- My main objection to D&D is that it’s so expensive. You need to shell out around a hundred bucks just to get the basic rules. But I enjoy the game nonetheless.
not necessarily! play rebellious D&D! find the old editions for cheap or just look up some basic rules online. there are a lot of rules, but you don’t really need to follow them all. at least i don’t. the basic point of the game where you need the rules is creating a character and with the fights, and i’m sure you can find formulas online to figure that out. the rest is just making up a story and roleplaying
and if you’re playing with rules lawyers, just smite them and play on their grave xP
I don’t really need to buy them- my Dad has old D&D books from when he was in college.
That’s true, the 3.5 rules are available online for the most part.
Not really. I got the Player’s Guide out of the library, and I could have gotten the DM’s Guide too, and if you photocopy the grids and sheets in the back of the book you don’t really need to do much else. Player figurines are not a necessity. ^ Free way to play!
You know you’re a nerd when somebody says “Scott” and your first thought is “Summers or Carpenter?”
Guilty. Mostly to Summers, but still guilty to both.
Who exactly is Scott Carpenter? *googles* Oh, he’s an astronaut.
Yaaaaaaa! CYCLOPS!!!
202.1, 202.3- I love you guys.
Kai, I love you too! XD *hugs*
You know you’re addicted to marching band when (on the way back from band camp) while watching a movie you think “Wow, he’s really double-timing it out of there” instead of “Wow, he’s really speeding out of there.”
You know you’re addicted to math when you can tell your friends from camp exactly how long you’ve known them, to the minute, and translate the numbers into binary just for fun.
You know you don’t talk much when you call someone by name and their immediate response is ‘you know my name?’
Note: This was at church. I’ve gone to said church for 5 years. I was in the guy’s class for one year. His mom teaches us sometimes. Yes, I know his name.
Then the rest of the class started asking whether I knew their names. I did.
I’m Back!!! And I’ve changed my name. I’m now Mago Berry. Thanks, Randemosity101! Only reason I was Mango was my mom went to India when I was about to be born. And people in India call me Mango. But Mago Berry is awesome!!! I think I’m a Mewtwo… either that or an Absol. I like being alone, and both of those Pokemon live in mountains/ a cave. I like the dark- Absol is a Dark-type, and Mewtwo only travels in the night. I know, I only got that from Mewtwo Returns, but still, I’m so obsessed with that Pokemon that I watch every movie with it in it and shriek with delight whenever he appears in the title sequence. I’m so guilty of all that. And, when my friends say that Mewtwo is evil, I practically scream my head off- which makes them think it’s funny… I wish Mewtwo would turn the world into Pokemon World… (Mewtwo: I’m not Arceus, you know. Me: But you have psychic powers!!! Mewtwo: What do you think I am, Team Galactic?!)
And I am female.
207 – Same there, too.
206 – Happy to help! And I’d say think twice about deciding that you are Absol. It only shows up beore a big disaster and is sworn protector of of Jirachi, amongst others. (Bet you know where I learned that!) I’m not trying to disuade you, but I’m not sure whether you would want to be charged with those respobsibilites. Bet you like the original Pokemon show title sequence! I don’t have a clue about what Pokemon I could be. I like cold, like an Ice type, and I like dark and night, like a Dark type, and I love to laugh, like a ghost type. (Kanto series, battle with Sabrina). My friend told me some scientists had a theory that it could be possible to implant in animals specialised glands that could use a certain kind of edible fuel to emit a gas that would catch fire on contact with air. Maybe we will have real Pokemon one day! (Though if you ask me, Water types seem easiest to make and Ghost and Psychic would be nearly impossible.)
I think we are nearly-identical twins, but I must know. Do you enjoy angsty music?
You know you’re addicted to LotR and The Hobbit when you curl your foot hair.
You’ve done this?
No, no, not guilty. Although I did get quite excited when I found I had hairy toes.
I was guessing that. It would have been awesome, though!
You know your addicted to Maximum ride when somebody says Team Edward or Jacob and you say ” Team Fang all the way!” or if you ever say “FAX!w00t w00t!”
You know your addicted to Maximum ride when you spend 11. 59 dollars on a Max ride audio book from itunes, realize you own it, and say ” Eh, what the cake.”
One time I got asked “Edward or Jacob?” and I said “Carl Sagan!” just to see the look on her face.
The audio book had a SOUNDTRACK! and effects. and the voice was creepy.
You know you’re addicted to chocolate when…OMG CHOCOLATE
*slurp*
I’m not that Absol. I’m an Absol who stays up in Mount Coronet scaring tourists.
Plus I like Mewtwo. Mewtwo is awesome. (Mewtwo: I know I am, aren’t I?! Me: … … …) I dunno what you mean by “angsty music”. I’m not a music fan, but then again, most of the music that my classmates are listening to is the “popular people” kind. I don’t even know their names- that’s how awesome I am. Oh, and you know you’re addicted to your typewriter when you keep accidently pressing the “control” button on the keyboard to delete something. (That’s where the “correct” button is on a typewriter.) So very guilty. And guess what. Yesterday I got stung by a wasp. I hate that thing… I went 11 years without getting stung, and here it comes and breaks my record. Now I have to start over.
This seems to be the year for it. Before June I’d been stung about 3 times in my entire life. That number doubled within a month. Several of my friends were stung this year, too.
Absol still heralds disaster. (Pokemon theory of relativity: Pokemon = Power X Awesomness(2) The (2) means squared, I can’t do superscript.) By angsty music I mean ones that are satirical. Music that may say “This is hypocritical”. Or possibly be death-themed… I think typewriters are awesome, but I’ve never been able to use one. In my entire 14 years of life, I’ve never been stung by anything, and have gotten bitten by three mosquitos and a spider.
You know you’re addicted to Maximum ride when somebody says they got Faxes and you think the mean fang and max, and you say ” Fang came back????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
(Fang: Yes, I am totally worship worthy
Me: * rolls eyes*
Fang: Don’t roll your eyes at me, peasant!
Me: * steals My Sims kingdom game*
Fang: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Me: Gosh, you are addicted with a capital so-addicyed-you-would-kill-to-play-it. It’s so sad.
Fang: *rolls eyes*
Me: * hands Starfy game.* Here. Out of pity.)
You know you’re addicted to Maximum Ride when you kidnap the flock and hide them
in your overly purple roomIn a undisclosed location.Yeah, and it’s disaster for anybody who comes into my lair when I’m playing DS. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HA. Ha. He he he… um. *clears throat* And you are 3 years older than me. But who cares about teeny stuff like that, anyway???? And I’ve never been stung before. It stinks. My arm is all itchy. But at least I’m not poofed up like a football, as my mom would say.
*joins in evil-sounding laughter* Wow! A younger person who seems alot like me! You still haven’t answered, but I still thought of another question, what do you read?
You know you’re… odd, when you have been known to say “No, you’re not cool enough to be the Devil.”
You know you’re addicted to Norse mythology, when “Hell” makes you think “Hel”, destruction makes you think “Loki” and wolves make you think “Fenrir” every time.
You know you’re adicted to Warriors when your mouth starts watering when you read about fresh-kill, and you’re a vegetarian!
Guilty to all.
Guilty to the last one. But I’m not a vegatarian.
( Fang: DIE MASHTOOTH!
Me: Oh, boy. )
You know you’re addicted to K/S fanfiction when “Loki” makes you think of that fanfic you read where the characters were Norse gods and Spock was Loki.
You know you have unusual tastes when green beans taste delicious, like pie, when you chew them on the right side of your mouth, and yet when you chew them on the left side, they taste like cardboard.
Guilty.
-215.1 Really? Thank the Muses, I thought I was suffering from a unique kind of obsessve insanity.
-216 I read somewhere that dfferent parts of a human tounge are desgned o pick up different tastes, such as sweet or bitter. I never gave it much credence, but…
I’m a vegetarian too… and the same thing happens to me. I’m odd, aren’t I?! But odd is awesome!!! I like reading anything Pokemon, even if it’s those little kid books. Even the “how to draw Pokemon” books. I also like Warriors, LotR, and Harry Potter, but the weird thing is… my favorite characters in HP are mortal enemies. Guess who. Hint: *spoilerspoilerspoiler* They both die. I say weird things too… like when you’re writing a Pokemon story and you just have to make a character say, “Thou art a soggy lemonade sandwich.” Or have Mewtwo buy tacos. Twas very funny. (Mewtwo: I hate it when you make me eat. I do not eat. Me: Yeah, then what’s that Poffin you’re hiding behind your back?? Mewtwo: That’s not a Poffin, it’s a Berr- um, never mind…)
You. Are. Scaring me!!!!!!! I did not expect anyone to share that symptom. Who is your favorite Warriors character? Eh, I’m the opnly person I know personally who dislikes both LotR and Harry Potter, but that appears to be the biggest difference so far. “Thou art a soggy lemonade sandwich”?! That made me laugh so hard. I constantly imagine stories and fanfics in my mind, and I once made a Charmander say: “Thou art a lucious poison burger, and I eat thy leaves well done.”
You know you’re addicted to Pokemon when, when your DS breaks, you’re brave enough to pillage your brother’s DS so you can get a glimpse of your darling Prinplup just one more time,
(So, so guilty of this.
Xenon: Says you
Me: Shut up.)
You know you’re addicted to underwater archeology when you discover your library is giving away one of their copies of the “Easy-To-Read” book “The Titanic: Lost… and Found” and you sneak it into your binder…
… And then read it to yourself once you get home.
(I know it’s for six-year-olds, but it contains Robert Ballard being awesome!)
I like Yellowfang. Because in the beginning she attacks the main character. And in my mind nobody should ever like the main character at first sight just because they’re the main character. A lucious poison burger, and I eat thy leaves well done… so, so hilarious. In that same story the Orange (yes, orange) Gyarados is called a purple platypus many, many times. And the characters have an argument over the difference between “insane” and “crazy”. And an Absol, after losing the argument, goes off to catch pnemonia. ‘Tis very funny. But the lemonade sandwich is the best part. I like imagining fanfics too… and sometimes I imagine my life as one big hilarious story. Like when I got stung by The Evil Beedrill of Doom, I thought, “She could have sworn the wasp stung her just to see the expression on her face, but we interviewed a Beedrill on that matter, and it claimed that Beedrills are unable to talk and think, much less hurt for pleasure.”
That’s a great reason to like Yellowfang! My personal favorite is a tie between Scourge and Tigerstar… Sometimes I like Scourge more, but I think it’s just because he’s the not-quite-center of the fanfic I’m writing. You thought it was funny? Score! Usually my attempts at humor come across as overdone and unfunny. It actually makes sense in context. When a Pokemon uses Bite or Crunch, I say they are eating the Pokemon (something I picked up from my brother), and using Ice Fang is eating it well chilled, while Fire Fang is eating it well done. The Pokemon being eaten was a Weepinbell. I think I’ll write a more detailed Pokemon story… How dare you say Beedrills can’t think!?!!! They most can!
Who are you on fanfic? Or is that not to be talked about on MB?
That was a joke. The Beedrill is saying that it can’t talk or think… ha ha, not funny. I was hoping you’d get it. *goes off to cry in a corner* *comes back* I like Scourge too, especially the backstory. ALL MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS DIE!!! IT’S NOT FAIR!!!!! IT’S NOT FAAAAAAAAIR!!!!!!
(Mewtwo: You are a horrible crybaby.
Me: Mago Berry used Evil Eye. Mewtwo fainted.
Mewtwo: All right, I’ll stop!!!!)
I say that they’re eating the Pokemon too. What about Thunder Fang? Maybe the stove got electrocuted. That makes me think of a Torterra, a Luxray and a Gyarados at a barbecue. With napkins around their necks. Holding a fork and a knife, cartoon-style. Ha-ha.
I’m sorry, I didn’t notice that part.
“My name is Scourge an I HAVE WON!” Talk about a happy ending! I must say this, and I am aware you would probably disagree, but I’m glad Hollyleaf died. If I was in the story, I would have killed her myself.
“Mago Berry used Evil Eye.” That reminded me of a game I used to play with a friend of mine who is a real-life Pokemon Master. We would yell out attacks like “Poison Gas, use Haunter!” “Splash, use Magikarp!” Or in other cases, “Lightpole, use thunderbolt!”
I would say eating you microwaved. The thing about the napkin made me picture Bayleaf wearing a napkin like you described, smiling and standing next to a picnic table.
Yup, Hollyleaf was too code-obsessed. I like making things battle, like this, a battle that I made up:
A wild LUGIA appeared! Go, KYOGRE!
LUGIA used I Was Here First!
The wild KYOGRE used No You Weren’t!
LUGIA used I Am The Guardian Of The Sea!
The wild KYOGRE used No You Aren’t!
LUGIA used I Don’t Fight HO-OH Like You Fight GROUDON!
The wild KYOGRE used Yes You Do!
LUGIA used You Are A Liar!
The wild KYOGRE used Yes I Am!
The wild KYOGRE became confused!
It hurt itself in its confusion!
The wild KYOGRE used I Am Not An It!
LUGIA used Yes I Am!
LUGIA became confused! It hurt itself in its confusion!
The wild KYOGRE fainted!
LUGIA fainted!
As you can see, I went completely nutso there. At least it was funny.
Hah!
)
( Fang: GOSTARFYGOSTARF-
Me: That’s it. out. I’m kidnapping nudge.
Nudge: YAY!
Thou art truely awesome with monsters of the pocket.
-223 You hate Hollyleaf too? Yay! Though my reason includes her hypocrasy and apparent insanity after killing Ashfur (not that he didn’t deserve to die…) That battle is hilarious!
You know you’re strange if, as a Voltaire fan, listening to “Goodnight Demonslayer” makes you feel sorry for the monsters mentioned, and you find “Feathery Wings” depressing and “Hell in a Handbasket” uplifting. (Though those last two probably make sense to other Voltaire fans.
You know you’re addicted to Lord of the Rings when you see a flock of birds and think, “Crebain from Dunland!”
POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-226 CUCUMBER! There, I posted!
You know you’re addicted to food-based idiolects when whenever you find yourself randomly mentioning a food (a requirement being that you do this a lot) you try to figure out what it means in your idiolect.
-Oh so guilty. As of today, “cucumber” means “perhaps”.
You know you’re addicted to manga when if a Twilight fan asks you what team you’re on, you say, “Edward”, and then add “Elric”. And then say, “but Alucard’s close…”
Well, manga and making fun of Twilight.
You know you’re obsessed with Jane Austen when you’re on team Edward… Ferrars.
Hee hee. I do that with random words too. And once when I was little I made up an entire language called “Dinosaur Spanish”. I just said whatever popped into my head. Once I actually said something with meaning in Marathi. 0.o
I have several nonsense languages, such as Cerbidapteran and Flnpshngli, but I generally only use my food-based idiolect while around other people because I know for certain what it might be misunderstood to mean. I also made up a code for writing American English, where there is a letter characters for every verbal sound, and the words are spelled the way they’re said. The characters don’t look like those of any Earth language I’ve ever seen.
I can write in Unown. Which isn’t really a big accomplishment, but hey.
You know you’re addicted to the internet when you see a sign that says “Everything locally owned!” and you think it says “Everything’s totally pwned!”
I looked at a sign that was a circle with a square in it and thought, “Earth Nation!”
Aaron*: I choose you Mozard!
Aaron: attack beethovachu with your treble clef
Abby: BEETHOVACHU IS DOWN TEN HP!
Aaron: Return Mozard. Adam sends out Holstasaur. Holstasaur uses Mars, the Bringer of War.
Abby: Uh oh. Beehovachu is Confused
Aaron: Beethovachu is dead.
Aaron: Holstasaur uses Jupiter, the Bringer of Jolity, to get drunk over Beethovachu’s corpse at his funeral. Bachtwo, the most powerful composermon of all time uses Counterpoint to bring down Holstasaur. Holstasaur loses all his staff paper. Player Aaron has been defeated.
I think this speaks for itself.
*name changed
That’s one that I really respect. I usually don’t like Pokemon., but this was… EPIC
“Holstasaur uses Jupiter, the Bringer of Jolity, to get drunk over Beethovachu’s corpse at his funeral.”
Heh heh heh.
Hee hee!!! I have one!!!
A wild NORMAL PERSON appeared!
Go! WEIRD PERSON!
WEIRD PERSON used What Is My Name?
WEIRD PERSON’s name is MAGO BERRY!
The wild NORMAL PERSON used Normality!
MAGO BERRY fell asleep!
The wild NORMAL PERSON used Overwhelming Pinkness!
MAGO BERRY was blinded!
MAGO BERRY is very angry!
MAGO BERRY used Be A Pokemon Fanatic!
The wild NORMAL PERSON was confused!
It became weirded in its confusion!
The wild NORMAL PERSON fainted!
Oh no! A normal person! HELP!
Hee hee hee.
My friend suggested sort of jokingly that I write a NASA/Pokemon fan-fic, because I already did Marvel and Star Wars crossovers. I told him that it couldn’t work because:
1) Pokemon isn’t even set in our world.
2) Astronauts can’t even take regular pets with them into space, let alone pets who breathe fire and do other potentially destructive things.
And because that would involve the solar system, meaning that you’d have to make up another system with Deoxyses on Mars or something like that. And that just would not work.
Yeah, that’s what I was telling him, it’s set on an entirely different Earth (Is it even Earth?) in another solar system with its own constellations. I was thinking for going for some kind of weird blended approach, with our world having aspects of the Pokemon world, but talking about “The Gym Leader of Houston” just sounds weird.
A wild SOMETHING appeared!
Go! NOTHING!
NOTHING use IDENTIFY!
But it failed!
The wild SOMETHING used NORMALITY!
It’s super effective!
NOTHING used IDENTIFY!
NOTHING IDENTIFY’d the wild SOMETHING as NOTHING!
It’s super effective!
The wild NOTHING fainted!
I have a friend, and if you put a typical conversation between us it would be something like this:
A wild FRIEND appeared!
Go! ME!
ME used HI!
FRIEND used HI!

A little flash of Pokemon addiction for me today: My stepmother and I were behind our house to check up on the repair people. Suddenly my stepmother asked me what somthing was. I went to take a look, and it was the shed exoskeleton of a bug I couldn’t quite identify, with a slit down the back where the bug had emerged. I told her this, but part of my mind said “It’s a Shedinja!”
Same with me! My mom brought in a cicada exoskeleton, and I thought, “Shedinja!” I guess Pokemon-addicted minds think alike… And, today is ITLaPD!!! Argggghhh!!!
Talk Like A Pirate Day be me third favorite holiday, matey! ‘Tis too bad it be over.
And, really, are you a younger version of me with an artistic bent?
Amenoi: I bet she’s that blonde you were talking about.
Me: When did you get here?! And if she was one of the trio, she’d probably be the redhead. I don’t think she’s that much of a hater.
Amenoi: Suit yourself. They’re your imaginary other selves, not mine.
Me: Thank you, you snarky Pidgeot.
Amenoi: Happy to help. *flies away*
I don’t know Pokemon well, so don’t blame me if I totally ruin this.

Except in Pokemon, the creature names are all capitalized. *halo*
I’m the pokemon expert. Pokemon’s name CAN be capitalized, but they don’t have to be. Nicknames don’t have to include capitals either, and there are also nicknamed pokemon belonging to NPCs.
Really? Which trainers?
I don’t remember, but in every game there are non-battleable NPCs with nicknamed pokemon to show that pokemon can be nicknamed, and in DPPt and HGSS I think there are a couple of nicknamed pokemon.
[/plants vs. zombies]
You know you’re addicted to tar Wars when you see the words “National Geographic” and think, “Nationalist Geonosis”.
*star wars*
“Tar wars” does have potential, though.
Two sides summon armies of tar monsters to fight for them?
You know you’re addicted to old Scooby-Doo cartoons when you read “Tar monster” and the first thing you think of is the tar monster from the original episode.
The old ones were the best.
They were, although Cyber Chase and Loch Ness Monster came close.
Dinosaurs avoid the tar pits in order to retain their freedom (of movement)?
Dinosaurs? Don’t you mean prehistoric mammals? Were there even tar pits when the dinosaurs were around?
You know you’re addicted to Plants V.S. Zombies when you pass out from having blood drawn, and spend the entire time you’re unconcious watching the results of an improbable lawn defence setup.
(This actually did happen to me early last school year. I have since un-addicted myself, but I still enjoy the game.)
By the way, the game’s name seems to actually be Plants vs. Zombies.
I saw an ad for that on Nitrome. I’ll have to stay away from that game.
And SFTDP, but you KNOW you’re addicted to TVTropes when you first go on.
I saw that site. However, I am only interested in, say, all-Pokemon things. I’m completely obsessed. As it, to the maximum. GIVE ME YOUR GAMEBOY maximum. I don’t have one, and I sob over it every day…
You know you’re addicted to Vampire Knight when your teacher says to write an essay on personalities and you use Ichiru and Zero as examples.
*whistles innocently*
You used Ichiru and Zero as examples? That totally works! I might also have used Aido and Kaname as examples.
My friend started cracking up when I read it out loud…
You know you’re addicted to being a fangirl when you see that the Star Treck Club and the GSA have accidentally scheduled their meetings in the same time at the same place, and this makes perfect sense to you. (Kirk/Spock FTW.)
That’s so awesome I’m going to overlook the fact that you spelled “Trek” wrong. Did they fix up the meeting times or did you actually end up talking about Kirk/Spock?
You know you’re addicted to aviation when you misread “Match Light” as “Mach Limit”. On a bag of charcoal at the supermarket.
You know you’re addicted to Pokemon when your Geometry teacher says that you have mastered a concept, and you really think she’s talking about Contests.
(Guilty, of course. It brought me back to a happy time in Emerald, when my Swalot attained the rank of Master.)
You know you’re addicted to Avatar: the Last Airbender when you already have convinced your parents to let you record the new series when it comes out, but you’re miffed that it takes place 70 years later because you’ll never see sixteen-year-old Zuko again, nor will you find out what happened to his mother.
(SO GUILTY.)
Barkboy: “Seriously, Randomosity, seriously.”
Me: “How are you fitting in here?! You’re a seven-foot-tall Sceptile!”
Barkboy: “I only have to bend over a little. Anyway, I bet you’re the only person who can manage to daydream about Ninetails and Zuko at the same time without imagining them in the same universe.”
Me: “Oh, please. I’ll bet you twenty Mago Berries that you’re wrong. And I’ll give them to the person who proves you wrong!”
Barkboy: “You’re on!”
Me: *pauses* “You know, for a final-evolved Pokemon, you aren’t very adult-like.”
Barkboy: “I’ve always been confident in my immaturity.”
Me: “So you have been reading over my shoulder!”
Barkboy: “Uh… Gotta go!”
Darn it. I like Zuko. Oh, well, I’ll make up for it by doing my Ultimate Character Analyzing Embarrassment to everyone new. XD
And, you know you’re addicted to minor characters (who die) when your favorite Star Wars character is an extremely minor Jedi named Plo Koon whose only major-ish part in the movies is when he dies. His ship got blown up. I sobbed for days over that minor character. And, uh, what was that conversation a couple posts back about? With Amenoi. Whoever that is.
Dare I ask what your Ultimate Character Analyzing Embarrassment is?
Amenoi is my Pidgeot. The conversation was about a long and involved daydream series that is going on in my head. She was referring to your haircolor, which would have a meaning. I know, I’m strange. So what is your haircolor?
Also, would you be willing to prove Barkboy wrong? (See post 248)
You know you’re addicted to Pokemon when you’ve decided to dress up three of your stuffed animals for Halloween to put around the house as decoration, and you decide to make your red cardinal the Grim Reaper by giving it a scythe to hold under its wing, and now you can’t look at it without seeing Fatrfetched. (Guilty, of course.)
See comment 8 for how much I like minor characters.
I just read it, and I have two things to say.
One, Milo Thatch is not a secondary character, he’s the main character. And he’s cooler than the main characters of pretty much every other Disney movie I’ve ever seen. (Though I like Mole even better.)
Two, I bet everyone who reads those books is sad when Jack and Annie have to leave.
I meant that he’s obscure among Disney heroes, most people, when asked for their favorite Disney hero would say somebody from a more well-known movie like Aladdin or The Beast or Buzz Lightyear.
True. I don’t have a high opinion of Disney movies as a whole, but I really liked Atlantis: The Lost Empire. I didn’t like the sequal as much, but I’d expected that.
You know you’re addicted to MB when you can’t help mentally connecting half of what you hear to Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Doctor Who and you have never read/watched either.
SFTDP. GUILTY!
Which you must do. Both are phenomenally awesome, and all of the references MBers make will make a lot more sense.
You know your friends are addicted to manga(yaoi, mostly. I’m addicted to other manga) when you see that the ukulele club(yeah, we have one. Pretty awesome, no?) has written themselves down on the bulletin board as “Uke club” and can’t stop laughing.
Obviously guilty. We then decided there must be a seme club to go with it.
You know you’re addicted to TVtropes when you categorize your friends by tropes the fulfill.
One of my friends is exactly half Perky Goth, and half Cloud Cuckoolander. EXACTLY
fantastic. We have conquered…
I want to meet your friend. One of my friends is a Yandere. A literal one. this is a tad worrying.(She gets in usually-humorous moods in which she wants to kill all humans. And twice now she’s ordered me to beat her over the head with a chair.)
You know you’re addicted to the Discworld series when you see “SEVEN” in the recent comments box aand you think it says “CRIVENS!”
-Guilty… Possibly because I just re-read part of Wintersmith.
I read that as “CRIPPEN!” So yeah…
I’ve been looking for an excuse to say “Belgium!” loudly when I’m mad and see if anyone gets it.
Sorry to take so long! I’m blondeish-brown, though I can’t see why it’s all that important.
You just proved you’re not one of the imaginary trio I made up. One of us (me) has brown hair, one has pale blond with dyed tips, and one is has red.
You know you are addicted to D&D when you roll dice to determine the outcomes of combat in your NaNo.
SO guilty. And we’re starting up our group again, so yay yay yay! We got a new member, and we got our cleric back, so my friend the DM won’t have to play a character. I’ve got mixed feelings about our cleric, though…she’s so annoying, and the reason we lost her was because we had a fight (Not me personally though) and she’s not a close friend of mine, and she’s just…ugh sometimes. Still, I’m happy we’re starting it up again. We’re remaking our characters because they are way too powerful, and my new character is so awesome, hee hee hee.
Awesome!
You know you’re addicted to The Big Bang Theory when you sit on the left side of a couch and Sheldon Cooper pops into your head saying, “That’s my spot!”
-Guilty, but probably few other people are. Did anyone even get that?
I got it. Also, when I’m thinking about guys, I compare them to Raj, Sheldon, Howard, and Leonard.
Darn it. I suppose one can’t change one’s hair color to be included in this imaginary trio…but on a happier note, I got Attack of the Smart Pies for my birthday! ‘Tis a cause for celebration. And now I know why Koko is so hyper.
Well, it depends on your personality. Do you prevalently feel a certain emotion all of the time?
In regards to your happier news, lucky! *sticks out tongue* I’m still waiting for the first issue of my new subscription to Muse, which was my birthday present.
SFTDP. You know you’re not addicted to space travel (or very knowledgeable at all, really) if you can’t consistently remember that NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration off of the top of your head.
(Sadly, guilty. I even had to look it up to make sure I was remembering correctly! *hangs head in shame*)
Just hang out with me, I’ll get you fixed up!
Sounds good, I just hope I’m not defective beyond repair.
You know your addicted Harry Potter when you go to the movies, and when the lights go out, and you scream LUMNOS!
Guilty.
Now, you’d be really addicted if you would scream “Lumos!”
~ the 15-year-old with a Hogwarts letter and an infinite stock of HP merchandise
You know you’re addicted to Avatar: The Last Airbender when you spend ALL DAY watching a marathon of it on Black Friday, while chatting about it with your friend/fellow addict online. (Guilty, of course!)
And now you keep seeing Avatar characters whenever you close your eyes, and every time you imagine someone saying something – even if it’s someone you know in real life – you hear it in the voice of one of the characters. (Yep, guilty of that too.)
Barkboy (my Sceptile): “Azula’s voice? Really??”
Me: “Not intentionally! And how did you know? You got Appa’s voice from Nightmares and Daydreams!”
Barkboy: “But in your mind, you’re speaking like Azula! You don’t even particularly like Azula!”
Me: “I don’t mean to be! I can’t control it! I’m trying to get it to sound like Toph, but it isn’t working!”
Barkboy: “Why don’t you try getting it to sound like Ty Lee? That should work.”
Me: *smacks Barkboy in the face*
Conversations with oneself highfive!
Actually, it was more like imagining myself as a not-sure-exactly-what-but-I’ll-call-it-FanFic character. Usually, conversations with myself end in mutual exasperation with myself because of grammatical or technological errors/nitpicking at said errors. I generally try to avoid them, as I drive myself insane on both counts.
You know you’re addicted to Doctor Who when…
-you jump about four feet in the air when a classmate sneakes up behind you and says something, becasue you were thinking about the family of blood and he sounded exactly like the son.
-you freaked out when you saw an weeping angel statue at a flea market.
-you manage to connect quite a bit of things in real life to Doctor Who. For example, when you are arguing about whether souls should be eaten with a fork or a spoon, and somebody yells “Straws!”, you think of Mrs. Finnigan(I think that’s what her name was…you know the shapeshifter on the moon) in Smith and Jones.
-you say “Allons-y” whenever you and your friends are going somewhere
-you always follow “Correctumundo!” with “Which is a word I’ve never said before and hopefully will never say again!”
-you analyze trailers scene by scene to try and figure out what is happening
Guilty of at least two and probably three of those. You’re not alone.
You know you’re addicted to any website(but in this case deviantART) when you try to use its emoticons on another site.
I just did that. I fail.
You know your addicted to writing when you scream:
WAIT! GOTTA WRITE THIS in class.
Guilty.
Iggy: I’ve got one question.
Me: Not this agian…
Iggy: Why you so stupid?
Me: That’s it. No more sleepovers.
Iggy: I know a secret! Gonna tell Se-
Me: Shut the Itex up!
Iggy: Put that on you list.
Me: *socks*
You know you’re addicted to Radio podcasts when you give brief, incomplete summaries of your day and then say “but none of that is going to make any sense unless you listen to this weeks episode of…”
Guilty.
You know you’re addicted to the Grateful Dead when you misread Princess_Magnolia as Sugar_Magnolia.
Just did that.
I normally feel wierd. This is a word that deserves to be in the Muse glossary. It means weird and awesome, which is what Muse, the Musers, and most of all, the Muses and GAPAs are. This word will change the woooorld… *dun dun dun*
And also, sometimes I…eh…talk to characters in my head too… this includes my characters I make up too. Avatar characters are really common. So are Pokemon. Especially Mewtwo. He’s awesome.
What’s that little thingy down at the bottom that says “0”? It wasn’t there the last time I was on…
Oh, and I would like to introduce the MBers to my character Mesfyel. Mesfyel hates HPBs for a very good reason. So she will be helpful.
Mesfyel: Can I blow something up?
Me: Not now. I have to inroduce you to people.
Mesfyel: *angry Mewtwo/Giratina psycho move*
*loud explosion*
Me: Go blow up that hot-pink bunny.
Mesfyel: *blows up HPB* *is happy* *-er*
You know you’re addicted to makeshift weaponry and dirty tactics in unarmed combat when you can honestly say “They knew that if they saw me with a lunch bag in my hand, it was time to be afraid. And if they saw me without a lunch bag in my hand, it was time to be more than just afraid.” (Obviously guilty)
You know you’re addicted to Avatar: the Last Airbender when, being told a two-word line from an episode, you can tell who said it, which episode it was, what en was doing, the expression on ens face, and what en was wearing when en said it. (Soooo guilty…)
Oh dear. Mesfyel sounds like… me!
My weapon of choice is a pencil. I use it quite often. And if I don’t have a pencil, then my lunch box. And if I don’t have a lunch box…well, let’s just say that my friends think I sharpen my fingernails…
Mesfyel sounds like you?! Well, she sounds like me, too. Because she’s based on me. She is both of my favorite Legendary Pokémon combined, with my sentiments on main characters. And she’s super awesome. However, she prefers blowing things up to pie-throwing, mainly because she only has three fingers on each hand.
I shall insert her into a scene from Star Wars as such:
Vader: No decintegrations.
Mesfyel: But I LIKE doing that.
Vader: No buts! You aren’t supposed to kill anybody, and besides that, you couldn’t. You’re just a stupid excuse for a sentient being, anyway.
Mesfyel: *angry* *very, very angry*
Vader: As I was saying…ehem, you seem to be glowing. Is something wrong?
Mesfyel: *rather-largish-explosion*
Ehehe. I like doing that, with things plus other things. The answer is always a *rather-largish-explosion* when it comes to Mesfyel…
Oh, and can you give me the TWO-WORD LINE *dun dun duh*??? I shall try my hand at it. *ru\bs hands together evilly*
Speaking of Star Wars…I saw a post a while back that KaiYves did a Star Wars/ Pokemon crossover. Since I’ve done several of these, I would like to compare them…
Voice from the Blue: BACK TO TOPIC!!!!!!
Me: But I hate topics. I like being random.
VftB: YOU MUST DO A *WHAT ARE YOU ADDICTED TO THINGY*!!!
Me: … … …”Thingy”?… … …
VftB: … … … JUST DO IT!!!
Me: Sheesh. Fine already.
Ehem. So I shall…
You know you’re addicted to Avatar: The Last Airbender when you come up with a new kind of bending, along with a character who has mastered it, and a sort of tool to channel the energy.
I’ve never done Star Wars/Pokemon. I’ve done Star Wars/NASA, and I considered doing Pokemon/NASA, but dropped it. You must have misread.
But I’d like to see Star Wars/Pokemon.
You know you’re addicted to Dr. Who when your teacher says “Words have power” and you instantly think, Carrionites!
SO guilty.
You know you’re addicted to space travel when your teacher’s doing Review Jeopardy and one of the questions is:
“Which official is not a member of the Executive Office of the President- the Chief of Staff, the Director of Homeland Security, the White House Press Secretary, or the NASA Director.”
And your answer is: “The NASA Director. But there is no NASA Director, the head of NASA is the Administrator.”
That’s a complete fail on your teacher’s part. NASA director?
A lot of people think the last “A” is for “Agency”, not “Administration”. After all, the final “A’s” in both ESA and JAXA are for “Agency”.
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when on Word, instead of typing command-I for italics or command-B for bold, you use the MB commands instead.
….guilty!
Oops, on my last post I spelled “disintegration” wrong… *headdesk* *headwall* *headincinerator*
Mago Berry, I’m very sorry, but I didn’t see your posts until just now!
270- *twitches* Di-did you say fingernails?!? No! Could it be? We use the same method of unarmed fighting?!? My nails are my weapon of choice. I only fight armed because if I’m carrying something, say a lunchbox, it is more convenient to use it as a weapon than to put it down.
As for the two-word line, I have a bit of a confession to make. The one I had in mind was easy. Really easy. It’s: “We lost.”
271- …Yep. I’ve done that too…
275- Ooh! You have a headincinerator? Can I borrow it? Why? Um, no reason…
Yesterday I was in a store and I saw a really cute guy working there. Then, for the first time ever, I found a shop that had 9 Star Trek movies, DVD box sets of various seasons of Star Trek, and collections of the best Klingon, time travel, captain, etc. episodes. Guess what I was more excited about.
You know you’re addicted to Avatar: The Last Airbender when you can identify an episode by listening to the first two previews in “Previously, on Avatar“.
(So very guilty. If you want proof, check the quotations thread. I keep mystifying my brother by telling him what episode he’s watching – while in another room – before the actual episode starts.)
YES . I said fingernails. Well, what else could I use? Humans have built-in knives on their hands for a REASON…hehehe…but honestly, you know, have you considered the possibilty that you’re my (somewhat older) clone?!
If she’s older than you, wouldn’t you be her clone?
Then again, if we can have blogtwins born several years apart, why not a blogclone older than the person cloned? They make about the same amount of sense.
Oh, and I have another headincinerator you can have. If you promise to use it (whenever possible) on Veggie Tales and Fritos, which are nicknames for several people in a certain TV show that I don’t exactly have such fond feelings towards. COUGH.
Erm… What TV show, specifically? And no. I hadn’t considered the possibility of having/being a clone. But now that you mention it, it does seem possible, or even probable.
You know you’re addicted to EPCOT when…
– Having never ridden Mission: SPACE before, you exit the ride vehicle, hear the ride theme song played only in that part of the attraction, and begin singing along.
– Having never seen the IllumiNATIONS fireworks display before, you belt out the ending song in perfect harmony with the loudspeakers. And then, the after-show music as you leave the park, even though you can hardly hear it over the sound of everybody leaving.
You know your addicted to Lord of the Rings when, while reading the news, you misread Gaddafi as Gandalf.
Guilty once.
Sounds like something my mom would do. XD
You know you’re addicted to Harry Potter when you misread “favorite books” as “favorite Slytherin books.” I’m guilty, and I really don’t know how it happened.
Also, could we have another thread? This one is from 2 years ago and has over 600 comments.
I second this motion.
You know you’re addicted to Pokemon when you look at the restaurant Kabuto and are about to say “Can we go there?!?!” when you realize it’s just a Japanese restaurant, not the actual Pokemon.
So very, very guilty.
You know you’re addicted to Dragonball Z (at least for the moment) when you will never again be able to watch Veggie Tales without thinking of a certain character, or eat Fritos without thinking of another. Or, for that matter, look at posters of wind instruments without having your eyes wander to that…one…thing.
Obviously guilty, and that, if you were wondering, is where the nicknames came from.
You know you’re addicted to pokemon when you read this post and think “There’s a resturaunt named after Kabuto?!?!?” even though you know that since it was an “addicted to pokmon” post it couldn’t really be about the pokemon. (Guilty) *is disappointed*
Ah. Now I get it!
So it seems that the largest differences between us are:
-I dislike Dragonball Z, LotR, and Harry Potter
-You don’t listen to Voltaire
-You’re actually good at art
-We’re different ages
-We don’t live in the same place.
You know you’re addicted to Museblog when:
” and “OH MY GOSH, I MIGHT HAVE/BE A CLONE! THAT’S SO SCARY AND AWESOME!!!”
-You constantly make mental refferences to Doctor Who and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, neither of which you’ve read/seen, though you plan to.
-You use MB language in everyday life (I’ve been doing that increasingly lately, mostly with the word “cake”)
-You wish your Geometry teacher would stop labeling points on a line M (random letter) and B, because you get all excited and then dissapointed when you realize she’s just naming the line.
-You despise the lack of “proper” HTML and pie emoticons on Facebook chat
-When chatting with non-MBer friends on Facebook, you say things like “Ducky is so funny!
-You consider creating an extra Facebook account under your blogname so that you can list your blogsister on the “People you’re related to” list.
-And more, so much more… But I think I’ll stop now.
(TOTALLY 100% GUILTY OF ALL!)
Also, if you reference HPBs when you try to threaten.
285.1: I’m guilty of 1 (but only with HG2G, not DW), 2, 3 (but not on Facebook, where I don’t have an account; this is a completely different site), and 7.
285.1.1: I think that’s more Muse than MB. People do it in letters to the magazine all the time, but I haven’t seen it here.
