That has a pretty big chance of ending badly...

16. You marry an imaginary character from the books.

17. You keep insisting mushrooms are your favourite food after reading the books (even if you hate them.)
18. You give other people presents on your birthday.
19. You never leave home without some rope, you never know when it might come in handy.

Thats not obsession, infact its the opposite. If you were obsessed you would wait for the official video or DVD instead of a poor quality and illegal version.

skoon · 29th May 2002, 06:07 PM

Oh no it's so that I can watch it until I can get my hands on teh real DVD!

How do you expect me to live without it for so long!?!?!?!
