The Signs That You Might Be Addicted To DS

[Mysterious Benefactor]

I'll get the list started:

1.) You've replaced all the framed photos of your family/friends with autographed pictures of the DS stars.

2.) Whenever you enter the small entryway of your house/apartment, you fantasize that you're actually entering your grand foyer.

3.) You find that you have the strange desire to wear pajamas or a nightgown over your clothes rather than getting undressed first.

4.) You find yourself incorporating bits of your favorite DS dialogue into your everyday conversation. (Listen here you, cheap, insufferable pig...  )

5.) You have the uncontrollable urge to wear bows in your hair.

6.) You go to bed wearing your shoes.

7.) You obsess over the DS characters' sex lives more than you do your own.

8.) Whenever you buy a new outfit you find yourself wondering how your favorite DS character would accessorize it.

9.) You frequently don a black wig and think that it alone completely hides your true identity.

10.) You steal some of your kid's Playdough, make a crude fetish doll, and recite incantations over it while staring into a lit burner on your gas stove.

11.) I frequently drink a bubbling chemical concoction just before going out at night, just for that extra little jolt it will give my evening.

That first one "You've replaced all the framed photo of your family/friends with autographed picture of the DS stars" took me for a loop.  That's exactly what I've done.

Now I'm scared.

13. When you're sure you left something in a certain place and the next day it seems to have vanished, your first thought is: "It must have disappeared into Parallel Time."

Hey, what a fun topic!

Other signs: making jokes about DS characters, having wild dreams about certain characters, imaging your life being different in parallel time, being on DS message boards every day, a terrible desire of wanting to saty at home and watch the DVD's instead of going job-hunting, going all crazy when one of the actors are featured in other shows( i.e. Grayson Hall in The Night of The Iguana),

and the ultimate sign: the desire to live in Collinsport instead of the real world

I still have to control my DS addiction by job-hunting daily and trying to think about what's occuring in the world

Love, dvlvan26

14.)  When saying bedtime prayers, your kids don't begin with, "Now I lay me down to sleep."  Instead, you hear, "Oh, great god Rah..."
