I decided with all the recent drama re: the forum rules and the break, we could use a light topic. So I decided to start a "you know you're obsessed with Heroes when..." thread, after making sure there was not one already.

So, here goes.

You know you're obsessed with Heroes when:

- You spell "hero" "Hiro."

- When you're really stressed, you half-worry an insane personality will emerge from you.

- You've read, written, and/or thought about writing Heroes fanfic.

- You've looked at, drawn, and/or thought about drawing Heroes fanart.

- You compare Heroes characters to characters from other obsessions.

- When a bruise, scar, etc. heals quickly, you joke that you can regenerate.

- You've had Heroes related dreams.

- You want to name your child(ren) after a Heroes character(s).

You're asking everyone you meet (people in line at the grocery store, the staff at the dentist office, your co-workers, etc) if they watch Heroes.

And even if they say no you proceed to ramble on about Heroes anyway. tongue.gif

I'm guilty of doing this. hahahaha

You know your obsessed with Heroes

when every dirty car you pass in the parking lot gets decorated with the SG symbol...

when your office has a urinalysis and you pass by people saying "Are you on the list?"

when you actually try to stop time-
...and your soooo disappointed that it didn't work!

when your DVR has all the Heroes episodes under the "PROTECT" option

when you watch cheesy movies with your kids like "Racing Stripes, Ice princess, and Stick It" just because there are Heroes actors in them

when you still are trting to stop time-
...and now your just plain fed up that it didn't work again

when you mope around the house on monday nights because "your" show isn't on for 6-weeks

when you have actually tried to take the Polaris (pool cleaner) hose and 3 pool toys and tried to make the SG symbol in your pool

when you hum Heroes melodies in your head all day

Can't believe how many of those apply to me...

Here's one..

You walk around trying to imagine everyone with the top of their head cut off

Your coworkers are coming to you to get the "inside scoop"

You randomly yell out "Yatta!" just to see who gets the joke

You stare at a mirror in the hesitant hope that it your reflection will talk to you
xDessox
Lol. It's sad...I've done most of those things...

I have a few!

You know you're obsessed when:

-You join a Heroes RPG, and take it really seriously.

-You hope that Mohinder will come to your door asking about you (It hasn't happened yet...I'm still waiting).

-You have a dream, and it happens the next day, so you think you have a chance of being on the "List".
-You try endlessly to guess what your friend is thinking, in hope you have Telepathy.

-You become Claire Bennet's friend on Myspace.
Mr._Petrelli
When you walk around saying like Hiro says it, Mista Isaaaac?

When you watch all heroes episodes on your iPod almost everyday.

When you don't like any other tv show then Heroes.

When you try to paint when rolling your eyes back so it looks like your Isaac

Everytime your in N.Y you think of "Yatta"

This is mostly what I do actually..
chilydog
The first thing you ask people on Tuesday is if they watched Heroes the night before.

When you only watch Deal or No Deal to see if there is a sneak peak for Heroes.

When you pronounce Isaac, Ezak.

When every bald black guy you see reminds you of the Haitian.
patsc2342
laugh.gif. This thread is awesome.
Itsgood2bebadd
...When everytime you see the cavemen on the Geico commercials you think of Ted Sprague

...When you are on the Heroes forum for 8 hours straight everyday at work.

...When you get offended and defensive when someone tries to talk bad things about one of the characters you like.
brakiss
You know you're obsessed with Heroes when you start burning DVDs with the first 12 episodes and spread them around your friends to get them all hooked to the show

(worked realy well biggrin.gif btw im from germany and even friends of mine that dont understand english that well are totaly hooked. Some have even started to "spread the word" even farther laugh.gif )

Another one:
You know you're obsessed with Heroes when you have 3 new episodes of Lost on your PC and you have to force yourself to actualy watch them

...When you think about trading in your contacts for some HRG's

...When you run out and buy a Katana in an effort to look cool

I actually bought a Katana after the episode where Hiro takes the fake from the museum, but mine doesn't look like Hiro's. I still hold it when I'm watching Heroes though...It makes me feel special.

Oh my god, I'm guilty of so many of these!

Ok, You know you're obsessed with Heroes, when you're posted over 450 posts, in just two weeks! (guilty)

Everytime you're near a loud clock, and you hear that "ticking" sound, you start to run like a crazy person.

You know you're obsessed when every morning when your girl friend asks you what you want for breakfast, all you say is "WAFFLES!"

You know your obsessed when everytime your at the ATM, you put your hand on it, hoping it will spit out money.

(if you have one,) You keep asking your stoner friend to "paint" something, then when it doesn't work, you yell out, "what does it only work with heroine?"

Lastly, you know your obsessed, when you keep hoping Future Hiro will show up, and tell send you on a cool mission to save the world. For a guy that can control time, he's very late!

...dreaming of flying takes on special significance (could it be a sign?!)

...you change your avatar in other forums to a Heroes character.

...all lunch hours at work are now spent watching episodes or surfing the forum.

...you search the late night talk show guest lists, hoping for Heroes actors!

OMG I AM addicted!!!!! Yes I have changed my Avatar in the LA Angels' Fan Forum to Hiro's picture even though I am Caucasian LOL!!

I also need new glasses and I am SERIOUSLY considering getting Horned-Rim frames!! cool.gif

And yes I spend 3-4 lunch breaks throughout the week watching online episodes.

Have said to friends many times "Save the Cheerleader.... etc" and "Are YOU on the list?"
rezilm
I can't believe how many of the already listed things I've done.

-When you've never been hooked on a TV show before, and have sworn yourself off online forums for life, but after one week of hiatus have been forced for some heroes interaction, and join the forum (Okay, so maybe that one's just me)

-When you go from no online time to three hours a day on the heroes forums

-When you find yourself talking in your head to the Mind Reader next to you.

-When you get excited whenever someone else mentions the show in passing

-When you say Hero, you roll the r to sound like Hiro.

I'll think of more later (which is probably another good indicator)

Oh... and also:

My glasses just broke, I got a new pair and contacts... The first day I wore my new glasses my friend remarked on how similar they looked to HRG's... biggrin.gif I thought so too!

Do you really? Cool!

You know your a Heroes fan when...someone says there could be a lunar eclipes and you wonder if it works the same as solar eclipes and maybe you could get a ability.

you wake up every morning hoping to have the ability to heal.

laugh.gif
broli1111
You know your obsessed, when you think every cop can read your mind. Oh yeah, they can.

When you use "The haition made me forget," as an excuse for not doing your homework.

When every time you see a cheerleader, you yell out, "Run Claire, Run!"

When your lighter dies, and you try to use your fingure to light your ciggerette, that would be cool!

When you climb a swing set, and try to fly! Then after you fall, say to yourself, I'm just not doing it right!

Or if you stare at your clock, trying to make time speed up, to get out of work, or school faster! Ok, I've been doing that one long before the show came on!

And lastly, you know your obsessed, when you trade in your car for a "Nissan Versa!"

smile.gif Does it help you focus your power... of concentration on Heroes?

-----

When you read stuff on science and think about how it applies to Heroes powers.

When you don't even know Japanese, but 不思議なのに日本語で話したことと書いたことがある。

When your average number of posts on the board per day is 59... ( I know not funny, but it's true! tongue.gif )

Yeah my average is 31 posts per day, and 530 posts in about three weeks, so I'd say I aggree.

You know your obsessed, when you go to a night club, and when the bouncer asks "are you on the list," you automatically assume it's a reverence to the show.

You know your obsessed, when your taking finals, and you say to yourself, "Charlie's super memory would make studying faster, reading my classmates minds would be cool, or I could just persaude the teacher to give me a better grade."

How about when you got the SG symbol scribbled on every Post-It at work

or: When you spend so much time talking about it that other friends who are into it tell you you need a new hobby.....

or: When you can't wait until Tuesday cuz at least there is a new comic...

or: when you go back and start from the first episode, taking notes so you can argue on the message boards......
lievedebs
Guilty of all of the above

I got one:
You know you're obsessed when you tattoo the SG sign on your shoulder and go all crazy on others one moment and be sweet and innocent the next biggrin.gif

You know you're obsessed with Heroes when...

- ...you check on You Tube after every new episode to see if there's spoilers for the next new episode.

- ...you know every bio for every character in both the show and the graphic novel, as well as characters who have yet to appear.

- ...you've attempted at least one of the powers displayed on the show.

- ...you actually believe you can perform some of the powers displayed on the show.

- ...you've actually succeeded in using the Power of Persuasion against someone.

- ...you've failed miserably in using the Power of Persuasion, then used an excuse such as a 'Split Personality,' or simply 'forget' what had just happened in order to brush the incident off your shoulders.

- ...you've written a fanfiction, or made an original character and portrayed them in either a story or in thought with the story of the show.

- ...you hold an attraction to a person on the show because of their abilities.

- ...on the upcoming Presidential Election, you write in 'Petrelli' and check off the box you drew next to the name.

BTW, I actually attempted to snap my finger to light a cigarette in a car when the driver said he didn't have a lighter, and mine had just died; tried it about seven times before the kid looked all weird at me. I just shrugged and continued trying for the **** of it...

LOL, that's good stuff bro!


I do hold an attraction, for Hana, I'm in the IT department, and that power would be so flipping sweet! Plus she's hot! I should start her fan club, and become president, unless Petrelli runs against me!


On the last election, I voted for Pedro! And unless there's someone better, I'm voting for Petrelli!

You know your obsessed, everytime you hear someone talking about a TV show, you automattically assume their talking about Heroes.

Obsessed, I'm addicted to the message boards! I don't know, there's something about European chicks, that gets me everytime! If I had her power, I'd be playing my WII with my mind, now that would be cool!

Personal taste with which I disagree...

...when you prepare a full resume and coverletter in the hopes of being employed by Primetech paper.

...when your new moral compass includes the phrase "What would Parkman do?"

...when you actually think the Heroes' myspace pages are theirs.

Since there are so many mentions in this thread of Fanfics, I would like to throw out an invitation that if anyone has written one (or would like to read mine) to PM me!

Fanfics - my OTHER obsession

You know your obsessed, when you use their names on video games.

You know your obsessed, when you change your name to one from the show.

You know your obsessed, when you went to New York on November 9th thinking you can help stop the Exploding Man! (not me, but I'm sure someone has!)
