Those are both really awesome!!
You're obsessed when...You want to get an iPod video/Xbox 360 elite simply to watch Heroes episodes on them.

You get really REALLY upset when you miss even the rerun of an old episode.

You spend about a month trying to figure out how to work the photo editor on your idiot computer just so you can make a Sylar sig. (which i still cant figure out to do!! mad.gif )

blush.gif When your clients email or call you to ask you questions about the show because they know you have seen every episode so many times you have it memorized.
Sidekick Hero
--when you check out wristwatches to see if they're SYLARS and if they really are German made

--when you tell the resident conspiracy theorist that Linderman, Petrelli and Devereaux (Peter's patient) are real people and there are others like them controlling the scenes

--when you register with NBC just so you can log-in their site to read and post Heroes-stuff like these

--when you seek therapy (or just a friend's counseling) because you can't deal with the reality that the season's over

You know you're obsessed when your friends ask about your summer plans and you tell them about watching Heros before you tell them about the trip to Hawaii you will be taking.

You've spent the entire summer break digging through each episode with a fine tooth comb in the hope that you might find something, anything, that hasn't already been discussed.

You spent the entire break glued to the forums hoping someone else did as well.

I dunno if this has been said but
When you have Nikki's Tattoo on your shoulder and when after a dream about being "abducted" by Mr. Bennett you get the two marks tattooed on your neck
When you start calling all your friends named Claire "Bennett" in stead of calling them by their real last name
When you become a cheerleader just to be "saved"
when your away message on IM is "gone out to save the world with Pete Be back soon"
When you spontaneously start speaking with a japanese accent when you get exited or bored
when you watch 12 almost all day hoping for a glimpse of heroes
when you (I dunno if I should be saying this) take money from your mums purse that she won't notice missing and ride your bike to the nearest shop that sells the first season of hiros (opps I mean Heroes) and buy it then borrow money off your friends to pay her back when she finds out
When your wallpaper is a pic of the hiros (you know what I give up spelling) cast
When you jump around and spin and dance when you learned the date of the second season beginning.(note that I am usually a pretty reserved person and know I can't dance worth anything)
When you rally your school because the changed the cheerleading colors from red to blue
When you win and the colors are changed back and you design them to look exactly like the ones on the show
When you have a map with pin in it wear all the pins are in mohinder's map
When you took the time to freeze frame the pic on the TV run down stairs putting in a pin at a time
when you watch the show and hate you self for noticing that the actor who plays mohinder didn't actually grow up in India therefore doesn't quite have the right accent
when you horded your whole family including you parents out of the living room you you can watch heroes in Peace
when you freak out when you learn brothers bed time is at 9 on school nights and put your foot down saying "I AM watching heroes on Mondays"
When your mum says "of course" and humors you because if she didn't her life would be **** untill I did and I would hang it over her head for the rest of her life
HazeleyesRavenhair
my friend did this one and the only reason I didn't is because I have carpet but anyway
when you paint the explosian on your cement floor...and when you copyed pixal per pixel of every painting onto canvas and hung it all around your room..and payed for everything with you own money
any another one my friend reminded me of
When you turn down an exteamly well paying Job on week nights cuz you want to watch heroes and they don't have/ don't allow TVs at the facility

lol! Awesome, I have to make me a map!

And another one I just found out about yesterday (Sorry I stole it from my sister she wanted to post it smile.gif )
You get dippin dots at six flags to share them with your sister, but you start talking about "Hiros" while she is holding it and you get so into the conversation that she forgets she's eating and you forget you're not so you end up not getting any dippin dots! (but it was worth it because 30 seconds later we saw a twin of A. Zachary Quinto and B. Masi Oka!!!!!!! Yes we did follow them smile.gif )

When you get jealous of the actors, even the ones who died in their first and only episode, because they got to act on Heros and the honnor of getting their brains cut out by Sylar. I would love to just be an extra!

You and me both! Of course, I'd still wanna be more than an extra, maybe a perminant character, or involved with a story arc. happy.gif God, I need a life.

When you're nephew brings a TV Guide to your door and it has a picture of Masi Oka on it and you squeal.

Okay, I do not have a crush on Masi Oka, my sister does. I just love the character, that's all. Besides, I have a bigger crush on Zachary Quinto and I'd be a whole lot happier if he was on the cover. *sigh* wub.gif

When you print out every one of Isaac's paintings.

When you grow your hair out as long as Peter's.

When you actually try to read someone's mind in public and you get an ugly look for it.

When you try to think of an alias name for yourself, something as cool as Sylar.

<<< braces for the hate mail...

You know your obsession's wearing off when...

You don't buy new DVD's cause you've already seen each episode two many times.

Instead of watching the new episodes, you watch re-runs of political debates.

Instead of talking about the show, you talk about politics such as the upcoming presidential election.

Frankly I'm tired of listening to the same group of politicians spout the same crap. I've been hearing it for better than 12 months, and there're still 15 months to the general election.

The last thing I want to do is waste my time discussing the presidential election when it's too early to actually give a rat's ***.

When the only reason you have any school spirit at all is because the colors are the same as at Claire's school.
When you actually look forward to Mondays.
When you have the next new episode practically memorized because of all the spoilers you have read.

You know your obsessed with Heroes when:

You try to correct my spelling of Heroes.

You create original Heroes characters, theories, and story pitches hoping that they will be read by the producers or writers and added to the show.

You jump whenever you see a shadowy figure wearing a baseball cap.

You become frustrated after finding it impossible to break an object's molecular stability.

Wondering whether the translators got it right or not, you begin taking Japanese lessons.

Attempting to be original yourself, you take twenty minutes compiling a list for things that someone completely obsessed with Heroes might do.

You study professional Bushido sword masters to be sure Hiro isn't butchering an art.

You serve any overweight friends that you have cottage cheese.

You stick to one side of an unsolved question, and bring it up whenever you can to cause a repetitive debate.

You refresh a topic every 10 seconds hoping someone has read your post and typed a response.
Rapidwhirl
You know your obsessed with Heroes when...

You haven't filled the void with another show.

You create and participate in fun threads to make the time fly between episodes.

You Google the last name "Suresh" and an attempt to contact them.

Despite many failed attempts, you continue testing and retesting yourself in order to find a power.

There is a hidden, sound proof room in your house.

You threw out all non-digital clocks, and haven't replaced them.

Every morning you check the side of your neck.

After researching serial killings, you become relieved to find no head unzipping; then remember the information is classified.

You pack up and move every two months in an attempt to avoid death.

You watched the SG list unfold frame by frame in an attempt to locate your name.

After getting many weird looks by your friends for not doing any of the crazy stuff you usually do, you tell them that "Heroes is coming back next Monday and I want to be in perfect health and free from legal responsibilities in order to see it."

You find yourself staring eagerly into this widget.

You are CONTSTANTLY on these boards(guilty), listen to the podcast(guilty) and record every episode and rewatch it several times during the week waiting on the next one to air(guilty!).
I found myself the other day doodling in the back of my math notebook. I drew "Heroes" with an eclipse, the godsend symbol, the Kensei Sword, Claire, Hiro and Peter...then the bell rang. sad.gif

I wish I could doodle as good as some people. If you don't think it looks crappy; (and you haven't already) you should submit it on fan art.

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

You greet the empty elevator (when it arrives on your floor) at work with "Hey, Claude! How's it going, mate?"

You have decorated the suspended light at work with pigeons (or paper cranes).

You have frequent dreams about Claude (or any one else from Heroes).

You have replaced the event sounds on your computer with quotes from Heroes.

Your desktop wallparper for the computer has one or more Heroes characters (and you have several more saved to swap around).

You make those type of wallpapers.

You make your own Heroes related icons.

You've actually tried that "make a thousand paper cranes and you get a wish" thing.

This thread is so cool laugh.gif I'm not THAT obssessed yet, I have to admit, but I am guilty of some things, so here they are:

- When during a conversation with a person, it comes out that you actually speak 5 languages, and when the person asks you how you managed to learn all that, you answer: "Well, it's just something my brain does" or "My brain has been memorizing everything lately" laugh.gif

I actually did that with a friend of a friend, and of course, she stared at me like "WHAT?", and my friend just started laughing (She watches Heroes too wink.gif ) And yeah, I do speak 5 languages: Italian, English, Portuguese, French and Spanish.

- When you go around the internet, searching for a German dictionary so you can read it and when you do, you get frustrated you don't automatically speak German laugh.gif

- When you go to the Activate Evolution site and feels the urge of sending Mohinder an email in the hopes he'll answer you. Until your husband comes around and tells you "Well, you do know this site isn't real, right?" to snap you out of it laugh.gif

- When you suddenly feel the urge of taking Hindu classes...


And some quotes:

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


Oh now... wouldn't THAT be awesome... laugh.gif I guess if it ever happened, I'd suddenly think of some cool power like "Oh you know, Doctor, I can turn everything into chewing gums, can you examine me? Please?" drool.gif

QUOTE
you are only dating your bf because he looks like milo drool.gif (but he also had a great personality!)


Well, you see... My husband actually looks A LOT like Zachary Quinto and I never realized it until I saw some of his interviews, and I went like. "GEEEZ I know someone that LOOKS like him", then looked at hubby right next to me, then back at him, then went "OMG" laugh.gif

But since I've been married for more than 4 years now, it's a pure coincidence (also cause my favorite char in Heroes isn't Sylar anyway biggrin.gif )

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

You camped out on the Deveaux building in an attempt to see the cast.

Instead of entering your home through the front, you go in the back way.

You have a strange aversion to old men.

You go to a friend's house on Mondays. (Guilty, but all the televisions at my house were occupied!)

People who are just getting into the show ask you questions.

Even worse, people who are just getting into the show don't ask you questions.

You turn your phone off every Monday night.

Your family says you are obsessed with Heroes.

They ask you who plays each character.

Then they brag about your knowledge.

You know your obsessed with Heroes when...

You lord how obsessed you are over other fans.

You retaliate by stating that you just picked a random number, and you have been doing more-or-less the same.

You say you're sorry and both of you go about your lives.

You predicted exactly what the person's response would be to your gloating, and posted it on the forums, thus averting the situation.

I do that too but I've had dreams while I'm asleep dealing with Heroes 6 times. For example, I had this one where Sylar was coming after Molly Walker and my friend Brittany so I teamed up with Ando and Hiro and the Power Rangers. We went to get Tommy but he was the Green Ranger and was all evil and had teamed up with Sylar. I was like "NO!!!!". smile.gif LOL

I haven't bothered to count the number of times I've had Heroes related dreams, I just wrote them down when I woke up. Usually, Claude is in them. A lot have involved running away from OWI/Primatech/the Company or other stuff.

I've never had Heroes related dreams yet (or I might and don't remember, it's been a while since I remember any of my dreams), but I always have LOADS of ideas for characters and storylines, but that happens with each and every single TV show I watch, so I don't know if that would qualify as obsessing laugh.gif
