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, o 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. tu 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 día goes out of the window because tu have to get the imágenes just right.

2. Similarly, tu 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 comentario to their vote?"

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

4. tu start to use "I'm a fan of..." in everyday conversation way too much. "You know, I'm a real fan of mantequilla de maní and salt-and-vinegar crisp sandwiches... I wonder if there's a spot on it..."

5. tu give the people around tu imaginary apoyar for misceláneo things. "Grandma, tu make the best chocolate-chip galletas ever. apoyar for the cookies"

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

7. tu 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, tu feel actual anger that tu take out on your keyboard por determedly typing an opinion-comment on the pick explaining just why YOU'RE RIGHT. :)

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

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

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

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