Okay, for the past two months I have steadily grown addicted to this website. Maybe it's all the free time I have these days, или maybe it's just I have an addictive personaily. It could of course be that this website is pure brilliance and I constantly think about it. Does that make me sad? No way! Because I can bet I'm not the only one. So here's a checklist of how to know when you've crossed the line between fanpop-addict, and totally-crazy. :)

1. Ты form an opinion on something and think "I'm going to immediately make a pick about this"...and then the rest of your plan for the день goes out of the window because Ты have to get the Обои just right.

2. Similarly, Ты find the need to constantly take a vote on everything. "Ok, who wants to change the channel on the TV? Right, now does anyone want to add a Комментарий to their vote?"

3. Ты rate things at home. People's new hairstyles, work you've done, meals that people cook, every episode of things Ты see on TV...

4. Ты start to use "I'm a Фан of..." in everyday conversation way too much. "You know, I'm a real Фан of арахисовое масло and salt-and-vinegar crisp sandwiches... I wonder if there's a spot on it..."

5. Ты give the people around Ты imaginary Благодарности for Болталка things. "Grandma, Ты make the best chocolate-chip печенье ever. Благодарности for the cookies"

6. Ты actually wonder what your Fanpop Фаны are up to in realworld, and Ты consider them some of your best friends. Ты actually ask all your real-world Друзья what their Слоган is, because most of your fanpop-friends have them, why the hell shouldn't they?

7. Ты have answered every single pick on your fan-spots, and continue to re-load them just to check if the balance has changed. If your vote isn't winning, Ты feel actual anger that Ты take out on your keyboard by determedly typing an opinion-comment on the pick explaining just why YOU'RE RIGHT. :)

8. When someone gives Ты props, или adds Ты to their fanlist, Голоса for Ты on a favourite-users pick, Комментарии your picks etc - you're happy for the rest of the day, even if your house just burned down или you've just killed someone или something...

9. Ты read an Статья in a magazine/newspaper and Ты want to Комментарий and rate it, forgetting of course that not all Статьи are soapbox, and Ты can't actually do it. Ты then feel very upset :(

10. Ты remain throuroughly convinced that Fanpop WILL become the biggest thing ever, and reccomend the website to everyone Ты know. Ты envision a time in the future when everyone is as crazy about fandoms as Ты are, and your Друзья will stop hitting Ты around the head and saying "If Ты mention Fanpop one еще time I will throw Ты through the window"

...and I've only been here two months. God help people who've been here longer!
