*Six hours no longer seems like a long time.
*You begin to wonder why all cine are not six episodes long.
*You have memorized where the commercial breaks come as well as the order of the commercials in each break.
*You watch the movie all the way through non-stop - then rewind it and start all over again.
*The movie just keeps on getting better every time tu watch it.
*On a reciente visit to a local lake, tu were inspired to dive in and go swimming fully clothed.
*Your relatives and friends no longer think that tu are strange for asking them to call tu "Lizzy".
*You sing along with the background music.
*You find ways to quote Pride and Prejudice in daily life: "That camisa, camiseta is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me." ...etc...
*After hours of studying the dance scenes, tu held a party and forced all your friends to learn the dance steps so that tu could pretend to be Lizzy at the Netherfield Ball.
*You are saving up money to go to England to visit the filming locations.
*You made a special trip to England last año just to visit the filming locations.
*Your itinerary includes a special trip to Pemberley where tu plan to stand at the window and say, "Of all this I might have been mistress" - and tu are devasted when tu find out that this is not possible since the Pemberley interiors and exteriors were filmed in separate locations.
*You think of time in terms of the number of Pride and Prejudice episodes tu could watch in that amount of time. For example: "I’ll see tu in four episodes" = "I’ll see tu in four hours."
*You have pets and stuffed toys named Lizzy and Darcy.
*You name your first two children Lizzy and Darcy.
*Right after tu splurged and bought the P&P video boxed set, tu made two copies of it. The original videotapes are now in your display case (along with all your other precious objects and silverware), one copy is at your relative's house in case of a fire, and the third copy is for your daily viewing.
*Others refuse to watch P&P with tu because they find your habit of reciting the whole movie in unison with the actors annoying.
*Even though tu have never lived in Britain, tu now regularly speak with a British accent.
*You find yourself often saying that tu are "excessively diverted", "quite put out" o "most seriously displeased."
*You dance along with Lizzy and Darcy every time tu watch the Netherfield Ball scene.
*You have played the whole movie in slow motion to prolong the ecstasy of watching the movie. (Unfortunately, the música and the sound doesn't work on slow motion so tu don't do this very often.)
*You commonly use the "frame-by-frame" advance function on your VCR so that tu don't miss any miniscule detail of your favourite scenes.
*Upon discovering that some characters wear their costumes más than once in different parts of the movie, tu were inspired to draw up a large mesa, tabla in order to buscar for possible correlations between the costume worn and the mood of the character.
*You have drawn maps and layout plans of the rooms and the buildings in the movie.
*You special ordered a CD so tu can listen to "Mr. Beveridge's Maggot" (over and over again) even when not watching the Netherfield Ball scene (eg. in the car, on the bus, while washing dishes, on the airplane, while taking a walk, while going for a jog, while vacuuming the house, while painting a fence....)
*You own two copies of Pride and Prejudice - one for the bedside, and one for downstairs reading.
*You own three copies of The Making of Pride and Prejudice - one for the beside, one for downstairs reading, and an extra copy in case either of them gets lost.
*You giggle whenever tu see Mrs. Bennet o Mr. Collins, before they even open their mouths.
*You find yourself constantly quoting your favorito! lines from P&P and tu feel sorry for your family and friends when they give tu confused looks since they have only watched P&P once (horrors!) and can't recall the lines.
*You start thinking of excuses to wear muslin dresses in the Regency style so tu can look like Lizzy and Jane.
*You spent the past five months researching Regency fashions so that the "Netherfield Ball" dress that tu will be wearing to the siguiente formal occasion is historically accurate.
*You no longer need an excuse to wear Regency style clothing - tu now wear it everyday as your own personal fashion statement and as a indication of your progressive sense of style!
*Your family and friends put a on when and where tu can talk about P&P because, unbelievably, they are just so sick of it. (For example, Tuesdays and Thursdays are designated P&P-free days.)
*The above happens and tu resort to saying lines that tu hope they won't notice are from the movie (such as: "no, no, the green one.")
*You searched everywhere for a script of the movie and finally wrote your own (by studying each scene in detail) when tu couldn't find one. With your new script in hand, tu often recruit all your friends and force them to be a part of your P&P play while tu simultaneously estrella as Lizzy (or Darcy) and direct it so that it matches the movie exactly.
*You have a complete lista of all the differences between the book and the movie.
*Your lista of differences is cross-referenced to the script of the movie that tu wrote earlier.
*Every time tu open "The Making of P&P" book, tu immediately have to start watching the videos all over again!
*Saturday night finds tu and your best friend putting your hair in buns and curling your bangs into ringlets in an attempt to imitate Regency hairstyles.
*You start referring to your ex and his new ditzy girlfriend as Wickham and Lydia.
*You realize everyone in your life fits a character in P&P, and tu start desperately asking your "Colonel Fitzwilliam" if he has any cousins.
*When your friend declares a dislike for P&P, tu seriously consider and re-evaluate the basis of your friendship.
*You have written your own stories to conclude the lives of the other characters in the movie.
*You are very proud of your most reciente story, called P&P: The siguiente Generation.
*You tape a picture of Lizzy (or Darcy) to your ceiling so it's the first thing tu see when tu wake up in the morning.
*You download pictures of the movie from the internet to put in picture frames in your living room.
*As an excuse to watch P&P más often, tu contact every friend and acquaintance tu can think of and offer to loan them the P&P tapes (the backup ones, of course) with the understanding that tu need to be there for the viewing.
*You can relate to most o all of the signs mentioned above!
