You know you've been watching too much RK when...

From Rina-chan through Pat [note: Rina and her pals Damina and Mina have actually done these - Megumi]:

  • you begin calling one of the charaters with the sufix -sama (ex.Ken-sama, Saitoh-sama, Aoshi-sama)
  • you put up every navy blue colored article of clothing and claim "Look it's the color of Saitoh's uniform!" (this can be used for Kenshin's shirt and sock as well)
  • you mention RK in every conversation you have with anyone
  • you snap at your friends claiming they didn't say ahou in a low enough pitch (you need to sound more like Saitoh, ne?)
  • you write a fanfic about RK and place it above everything -including homework, work, and most importantly sleep
  • you and your friends write a self-inclusion fanfic with the RK characters just so you can 1.)cling to Saitoh-sama 2.)steal Kenshin's sakabatou or 3.)hear Kenshin say 'oro' to you
  • you feel that that fanfic is going to become real someday
  • you bristle everytime someone mentions Megumi and Sano-chan in the same room [bristle? Me, I just shriek in delight]

    From Bob:

  • When you sit for hours trying to think of catchy things to add to the list and fail to do so @_@

    From Sonia:

  • You go to a market and can't help buying tofu
  • You bring buckets of tofu back home
  • You think cooking and cleaning and washing clothes is fun [now THAT is really scary...]
  • You wish you met Kenshin before he got with Tomo-e
  • You KNOW he is real...... [He is! HE IS!!!]

    From Frost:

  • You buy and watch all 95 episodes over and over.
  • You talk about it with your friends and let them borrow your tapes to get them into it.
  • You don't want them to borrow your tapes. ("Hey, i have to watch this again you know?!?")
  • You buy a samurai or katana and trying to cut down your tree.
  • You send a letter to this section disappointed because you don't want to send in too much because there's countless symptoms proving that you've had too much RK. [Well, you had to admit it sooner or later]
  • You're laughing at this right now cause you know its true.[I started laughing at the "tree" thing]

    FromKimberly:

  • You paint a cel of Kenshin characters even though you have no clue how to paint a cel.
  • You have a cute Kenshin pencil case and make "Kenshin" talk to your friends in Japanese class.[You might not make a lot of friends that way]
  • You complain to a friend that your love life is more like Misao and Aoshi than Kaoru and Kenshin... and your friend knows what that means.
  • Your boyfriend is jealous of Kenshin (that happened to a friend of mine)
  • When you're bored in class, you write "Kenshin" in kanji over and over again just because it looks so pretty.
  • You have two complete sets of Kenshin fansubs--one on VHS and one on VCD [Guess I know what will happen when it gets released on DVD...]
  • The only part of your Asian history test you are prepared for is the Meiji restoration.
  • While studying for said test, you underlined every reference to Shinsengumi, Ishin Shishi, and anything else remotely related to Kenshin.
  • You are already starting to write a major term paper on Kenshin's split personality [Your professor watches RK too?]
  • You stop writing this list, not because you're out of ideas, but because you want to play the RK drinking game.

    FromChyin Yu:

  • You're asked to do a speech on anything for a graded school assignment, and your topic is "Shinomori Aoshi". What's more, you actually get an A for it! ^_^ (This is a true story)

    From Chaos Song:

  • The first three Hiragana you learn are "Ru" Ro" "U" and "Ni"

    From Yuriko Lena

  • You make your hair like a ponytail and tie a blue or pink scarf around it, trying your best to look like Kaoru.
  • You begin to fold your blanket around you to make it look like a kimono.
  • You start talking broken Japanese, as well as making rice balls and sushi.
  • Everytime you daydream, instead of daydreaming about yourself and anyone else, you imagine Kenshin and Kaoru together.
  • You have this habit of staring at the moon and imagine that Kenshin is flying with his Hiten-Mitsurugi-Ryuu or Amakakeru-Ryu-no-Hirameki.
  • You practise all the sword techniques including the Kamiya Kasshin style whenever you're left alone.
  • You start eating meals with chopsticks.
  • Your appetite is as big as Sanosuke's.
  • If you get sad or gloomy, the background music when Kaoru stopped Kenshin from killing Kuragasa suddenly plays out in your head.
  • You read every page of RK on the net, and laughing over this one because you know that you're one of them.
  • You memorize the dialogues, and sing 'Sobakasu' and other RK theme songs every day and night without concerning about the lyrics - just as long as it sounds right. [I'm sooooo guilty!]
  • Worse of all, you feel like dying in deep sorrow and you can't even get out of bed if you know you'll miss any of RK's episodes because of transmission problems, and sometimes it feels like breaking the TV set if only you had a zanbatou (Trust me, this happens =-(...)
