You might be an Otaku if...

[WhoWantsToKnow]

I'm sure most of you are aware of Jeff Foxworthy and his famous "You might be a Redneck if..." lines. Well, the thought has occurred to me that perhaps we can do the same thing...only with an anime flavor.

So now I introduce the thread "You might be an Otaku if..." (For the uninitiated, an Otaku is an anime fanatic.)

I invite people to plumb the depths of their humor with their ideas of just how far an Otaku will go. I must ask, however, that the jokes be kept clean (in accordance with the rules of the board).

Here's a simple one to get things started:
You might be an Otaku if...
You keep advance flight tickets for the next five anime conventions.

Umm...

If you listen to the anime themes and nothing else for two months straight (I'm attempting to do so for Angelic Layer)
You think you're a whole bunch of anime characters in one package (Personally, I've the looks of Keitaro Urashima, the temper of Vegeta, the self-doubt of Souchirou Arima, behaviour of Hideki Motosuwa...)
You pine for hours after finding only one DVD volume of an anime you're looking for...
You watch anime for the specific voice actors (eh, it's true. Gary Ayres, Hilary Haag, Andy McGavin and Eric Stuart rule)
You record the (shortened) opening and closing music for an anime onto your phone (proudly guilty)
Oh, and write fanfiction for anime too. (Except that I have writer's block... ahhhhhh!!!)

Oh, and I envy anyone who actually has anime music for a ringtone. Darn!
