You know you're obsessed with Aquaria when...(put suggestions in here)

[Joey245]

Just something I thought of earlier today. I've seen plenty of lists where it says "You know you're obsessed with _________ when..." and thought it would be pretty funny and cool if there was one for Aquaria.

This is open to suggestions, since there's plenty of ways that you can show your love for this incredible game.

Here are a few to get you started:

1) You randomly start humming the Open waters theme whenever you're commuting in real life.
2) You can beat Simon with your eyes closed.
3) You TRIED beating Simon with your eyes closed.
4) You memorized every line in the game.

That's all I've got. Your input?

PLEASE NOTE: If I'm doing something that's not allowed here, by all means just tell me. I'll see if I can get it removed...

This topic should probably be in off-topic, but I suppose it'll be moved.

5) You have played this game so many times that you don't need the minimap.
6) You collected all different Ruhk eggs.
7) You listen to the Aquaria OST cd for over 6 days non-stop.
8 ) You make a nude mod, hurrhurrr

I probably got dozens more, but let's see what other people have. :3

[Arachne]

1) you think you can make sushi without using rice.
2) you hum the themes wherever you go
3) you can't look at this image without thinking of some aspect of Aquaria. http://www.meridian.net.au/Art/Artists/HRGiger/Gallery/Images/giger-li-i-medium.jpg
4) you associate every depiction of aquatic life with a time you were playing Aquaria.
5) you create Mods. Period. (def. goes to you, Alpha  )

[Mortimer]

9: You periodically check the forums 

[Hiro]

When you feel a sudden urge to go swimming..forever.

When someone ticks you off and you want to sing at them.

When you drag a boulder around behind your car to take out the other drivers (that would be sooo bad-ass!)

lol

[Alphasoldier]

When you start calling every new game character you make Naija

When you start imitating theme songs from other shows in the game

When you try to start your own underwater quest but realise after one minute you do not have the ability to breathe underwater

When you start putting Naija's ears on everyone's picture

When you start calling every new game character you make Naija

During the time period that I was playing Aquaria, and for a few months after, I would hum the theme from time to time. (although I do this with other songs too). Also, I got Geneforge 5 shortly after finishing Aquaria, and my character was a blue-colored Agent named Naija (If you've played GF and seen the agents you'll know what I mean  )

More to the list:

You hum the Aquaria theme... while diving under water

When underwater, you try to get around by clinging to a rock, and pushing yourself from one rock to the next

I've done both   

@Arachne, there are kinds of sushi that you don't use rice to make

[Joey245]

Got a few more:

When you actually ENJOYED going through the Gauntlet.

When you try to dress up as Naija for Halloween. May apply more to girls than guys.

You bent over backwards to get translucent pink fabric (assuming it exists) for the aforementioned costume.

You recommend Aquaria to everyone in your school/work place. Even those who don't play games.

You're comparing yourself to this topic to see just how obsessed you are.

"Lost to the Waves" is your audition for the school musical.

You transcribed your battle with King Jellyfish for your writing class.

I've got more, but I won't bore you.

Oh great, now I have another one to add to my list 

When you actually ENJOYED going through the Gauntlet.

I don't see why you couldn't enjoy doing that without being obsessed. A game is a game, after all.

You transcribed your battle with King Jellyfish for your writing class.

That battle was actually pretty uneventful. I just kept screaming at him until he died (wish I had more opportunities to use that phrase in proper context). Now, if you transcribe your battle with The Creator for your writing class, then I'll be impressed.

[Chibi]

... you try to eat a gun to shoot bullets from your hands.

... you scream to get flies off your sandwich. ^_^

... you spend more than ten hours in the Veil messing around with monkeys and wall jumping (guess how much time I spent).

... you make a thread saying "You know you're obsessed with Aquaria when...(put suggestions in here))"

... you played the demo for 10+ hours the instant it came out, then started the game over twice or more times (demo to 1.0.3, 1.0.3 to 1.1.1)

That's all I can think of now - more to come. 

[Zoko]

You make something like this: http://www.bit-blot.com/forum/index.php?topic=1848.0

[Joey245]

Okay, have a few more...

Most people act sick by putting a thermometer under hot water. You act sick by putting purple food coloring in a bowl of soup, drinking it, and acting poisoned.

You accidentally called your girlfriend "Naija".

Your lunch consists of a steak wrapped in lettuce, with a brown sponge cake and a bowl of soup to wash it down.

You find yourself defending the game to a friend of yours who played it and claimed it was stupid.

You look at the one above and think to yourself "Hey, that happened to me last week..."

You have a secret crush on Naija, and fantasize about killing Li so you can have her.

You call the mean secretary at your workplace "Mia".

You write all your notes in the Aquarian Alphabet.

Any others?

[Glamador]

You have a pet octopus in a jar sitting in a wagon that you pull around everywhere.

You find a sea urchin at the beach and immediately place it upon your head and ram people.

You poke otters to get at what they're holding.

You wish physics allowed for the creation of giant bubbles of water floating 50 feet in the air.

[Choclatechipcookielover]

You start wondering how the people of Spongebob Squarepants would react to Naija

When you turn your head everytime someone says the name Naija

When you search the Google Images for Aquaria related pics for over an hour.
