says sit boy.

spotlights, music, and raining cherry blossoms (while

You wtch Iron Chef constanly to pick up great recipes
( haven't done it but plan to )

You've bought a twenty dollar ring in the shaped of a
dragon to show off at school.

You always have your hair covering your left eye and
always fliping it so you look like a anime character.

You think that falling flat on your back with your
legs in the air is a normal reaction to big news.

You are worried because you don't have several
desirable members of the opposite sex frantically
trying to make you fall in love with them.

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

You go around town trying to eat donuts and act all
crazy-like, all the while saying you're Vash the
Stampede.

To resolve a conflict, you insist in a duel.

The employees at Gamestop know you, and tell you when
you walk in if they've gotten a new shipment of anime
DVDs.

You've gotten angry at someone and placed two fingers
on your forehead shouted the word "Makanekasopo!"
(specail beam cannon or light of death) and then poked
them in the eye.

You waste countless amounts of hair gel to get that
"Goku look"

You map out points in Tokyo where the Dragons of Earth
might attack

You believe it is possible for a person to be severly
beaten in the head with a large hammer, stick,
etc...and still come out alive.

You have a moment of confusion whenever you go to
school because there are no girls in those tiny little
skirts that come with their school uniform

party and everyone (except your parents) knows you're
talking to your boyfriend.

You tell your parents you need to stay out past curfew
to save the colonies.

Each time you see a stray animal, you turn your hat
sideways and throw one of those plastic Pokeballs
Burger King was giving out in their kids' meals
yelling, "POKEBALL, GO!"

You add "no da" to the end of all statements you make

The majority of your CDs are Japanese or the English

use English in its songs.

You misplace your manga and someone at school you

was yours.

You incorporate Japanese, somehow, into every class.

You use random Japanese words such as baka, kawaii,
and hentai.

You try to read every book from right to left

You take a break from watching anime to go to your
computer (nicknamed Lord Conti) to download anime (for
previewing purposes only! ;) ), while visiting your
favorite anime forum, while listening to Japanese
webradio...

You call your parents Oka-san and Otou-san

You say ITADAKIMASU!! before you eat your meals

You think that locket your boyfriend gave you will
turn you into a magical girl

You'll risk grounding to get a good new fanfic.

You constantly say "w00p" after almost every sentance.

You insist on chopsticks for everyday use.

Your bookshelf is filled with anime boxed sets and no
books

You stop listening to the radio because english makes
no sense to you anymore and it's your first spoken
language

You call yourself "otaku."

All of your family portraits have been altered to the
proper super large eye size.

Random battles seem to erupt wherever you go.

You take the time to write messages on your
cigarettes, only to burn them right away. (Megan Note: this is from a scene in FLCL where the red-head is smoking a cigarette that says something...)

Your dreams are animated.

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

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

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

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

You run out of space on your computer because the hard
drive is taken up by hundreds of anime pics, mp3s,
midis, and music videos.

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

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

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

You start to speak with an odd accent.

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

You know your favorite character's bloodtype.

Knowing Sailor Moon helps you on an Astronomy test.

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