151.You've seriously considered buying an owl for mail delivery...maybe then they could deliver your letter to Hogwarts asking where the hell your acceptance letter went...
152.You walk out of a particularly hard class and say loudly, "One more lesson like that and I just might pull a Weasley"
153.You have problems watching the movies because you have a tendency to throw things at the screen, screaming, "That wasn't in the book!!"
154.The fact that 'Wizard Rock' is its own genre of music makes your life worth living

156.The lights flicker and you scream "DEMENTORS!"
157.You buy shirts that say, "Screw school, I'm going to Hogwarts". And if you don't already have one you are now on googlelooking for one.
158.You're absolutely convinced that J.K. Rowling is really a witch and was given permission by the Ministry of Magic to write the Harry Potter books with the belief that no one would ever guess they were true...of course, you're one of the few people that do believe it is true.
159.You can spell 'azkaban' and 'quidditch' no problem but you have to spend about a year looking up muggle words in the dictionary (obvi Webster's, an HP fan's dictionary of choice)
160.You nickname difficult teachers or coworkers Umbridge and you really don't care if you're the only person who gets the joke

166.You stir just about anything--tea, chocolate milk, coffee-- clockwise after 7 counter-clockwise stirs.
167.Your roommate/ friend/ classmate goes, "Hey, can I interview you about Harry Potter? I'm supposed to write an essay on it and I never finished it..." and you are a) shocked that she wouldn't read it, and b) able to write her essay for her.
168.You blame wizard pranksters for lost keys, claiming a shrinking charm must be the problem
169.You know that you've had a run-in with a witch or wizard, but your memory of it has been obliviated
170.You carve HP pumpkins for Halloween (mine was a witch on a broomstick and an HP lightning bolt scar on the back)

176. If, after reading all of these (the majority of which apply to you) you can still think of more...
(The description to the Facebook group "You know you're a Harry Potter fan when...")
group info - hi, my name is ___ and I'm a fanfiction addict (facebook)
Do you find yourself reading or writing fanfiction when you should be studying/working/sleeping/feeding the dog?
Do you have difficulty distinguishing fanon ideas from canon, after having read or written immense amounts of the former?
Do you wake up in the middle of the night, ruthlessly tormented by plot bunnies who refuse to let you be until you've satisfied them with sweet, sweet stories?
Do you go to movies with friends only to freak them out when you start using terminology such as "shipper," "slash," "smutfic," "fluff," "fics," "crossover," etc?
Do you have hundreds of fics saved to hard drive, CD, AND flash drive just in case your computer should crash?
Do you find yourself heading to fanfiction.net every time you finish a new movie, book, tv show, etc, as a means of of continuing the magic/rectifying some problematic part of the plot/seeing those people who should've hooked up, but didn't, finally get together/etc?
Do you notice that you've stopped reading novels almost entirely, only to realize that many of the fics you read or write are novel-length anyway?
If you can answer "Yes!" to any of these questions, this group may be for you.

Jag hängde med syster hem till Benge - Cykla i klänning är inget att rekommendera :P Jag var yngst där, som vanligt. Alla förutom jag var 20 +men trots det så kom jag på tredjeplats i femkampen :D Hurra för mig! ... Jag vann en tia lott. Det var trevligt och jag slapp vara ensam. Jag åt kött också, för första gången på 7 månader om man inte räknar den gången för några veckor sedan på Donken... Det kändes lite konstigt. I'm a vegitarian with benefits :P
Norsk fylla äger! Kom tvåa och han som slog mig gjorde det med 1 tiondel :(
This is me.
| How much do you know about Harry Potter? | |||||||||

Konstigt? Nejdå... Om man är lika fanfiction beroende som jag så är det helt normalt att veta det *host* mesta om HP...
