View Full Version : You know you're obsessed with LOST when...
--LOST-- 01-02-2005, 02:12 PM As an obsessed LOST fan, what do you do? :D
-You write "FATE" "LATE" or "LOST" on tape on your fingers and refuse to take them off
-You search eBay and other sites for a DriveShaft ring
-On Wednesday nights, you lock your doors, shut the windows, disconnect your phone and internet, fix all leaky fawcets, find enough food to keep you content for an hour, and place a large sign on your door saying "LOST is on, go away".
-Invite your friends over for a "party" and then make them watch LOST
-LOST is all you talk about
-"Wednesday" is now "LOSTday" "Tuesday" is now "ThedaybeforeLOSTday" and "Thursday" is "LOSTwasonyesterdayday"
Anybody else have more, or am I the only crazy one?
Trueogre 01-02-2005, 03:22 PM How about you log onto www.fuselage.com as soon as the episode is over and scream at the forum when they have the 300 second post limit when you are trying to post in 20 posts at the same time.
You quickly run to the loo as soon as the break begins and make sure you come back just as it comes back on.
You quickly make a cup of tea because the one you were holding has gone cold because you were rivited to the screen.
You search the web for spoilers.
Your bookmarks has a folder for Lost sites.
You keep telling people, "Don't tell me what I can't do!"
You insist everyone calls you Colonel.
You take up playing Backgammon.
You name any pet after someone from Lost.
You go to Australia and ask to buy a ticket on flight 8-15 to LA.
You keep small bottles of Vodka in your pocket in case you need them for an emergency.
You start collecting knives.
You buy How to Survival books.
Someone has an asthma attack and you run off looking for eucalyptus trees in the city.
You buy Watership Down.
You buy sunglasses like Sawyers and wonder why everyone is staring at you.* You think you look COOL!
You try and fashion a dog whistle from a stick.
You stop using a toothbrush and start brushing with Aloe.
You start growing a beard.
You starve yourself to feel what they are feeling.
You go out and buy boar and banana's with the occasional coconut, it is all you eat until they eat something else.
You go to the shops and ask for a Driveshaft cd and even sing "Come on everybody." to the shop assistant.
desertislandgirl 01-02-2005, 07:48 PM Your little girl is playing at the park in a little fake cave and talking to some boys and you think "oh cute, so she'd choose the caves instead of the beach...."
Trueogre 01-02-2005, 08:53 PM You lock yourself in your room and babble on about the others and black rock.
You break open your walkie talkie pretending it's a transiever and then take apart everything with curcuits to make a crude locator.
You learn french.
You watch episodes more than once.
You watch anything the actors have been in previously that you never thought to watch before.
You make non/moving avatars.
You put on a bitchy attitude.
You lie about your name.
You tell someone you have a secret.
You watch your teddy give mouth to mouth to barbie and then tell him he's doing it wrong.
Then you throw your teddy in the bath and watch him sink and jump in to rescue him.
All you have for tea when you invite friends round is water, bananas, and boar, with a smattering of peanuts.
You buy an empty jar and tell everyone it's peanut butter.
You guard the fridge and when someone wants something you tell then they have to barter for it.
You write letters to yourself.
You stop washing your clothes.
You light a bomfire in your garden and tell everyone else you'll have to do the bodies next.
Your little girl is playing at the park in a little fake cave and talking to some boys and you think "oh cute, so she'd choose the caves instead of the beach...."
That was funny!
Invite your friends over for a "party" and then make them watch LOST
-LOST is all you talk about
-"Wednesday" is now "LOSTday" "Tuesday" is now "ThedaybeforeLOSTday" and "Thursday" is "LOSTwasonyesterdayday"
I am guilty of the above and I'm sure more. All I know is that my friends and family are sick of hearing me talk about LOST. My hope is that I will annoy them all so much that they will
1) Watch LOST.
2) Buy me a plane ticket to Hawaii.
lostfan28 01-02-2005, 09:38 PM After going through your e-mails this site or one similar is the first or only site you visit. :lol2: I'm guilty of a few of these myself.
Trueogre 01-02-2005, 10:00 PM You come here because you have no one to talk about Lost to.
You start having sponge baths.
You see someone with the top button on their top loose, you tell them in Korean to do it up.
You plan local meets.
Wile E 01-02-2005, 10:23 PM ...
You keep small bottles of Vodka in your pocket in case you need them for an emergency.
...
Now that's just a good policy in general.
xenaekes 01-03-2005, 01:25 AM You cry at the end of Lost, having to wait another whole week before your next Lost 'fix'!! :'(
gameoverman 01-03-2005, 03:34 AM You know you're obsessed with LOST when...
You call the Live Links number and yell "Kate, don't trust the farmer!"
Every time someone begins to talk to you, you have a flashback to an experience in your life you feel guilty about.
NWGraecie 01-03-2005, 04:59 AM You know you are obsessed with LOST when...
You call your 3 dogs by the name "Vincent"... and they come.
You tell everyone that "back home you are known as a warrior as well".
You catch a plane and continually ask the flight attendants for more peanuts and mini-vodkas while constantly jumping from First Class to Business Class, with the occasional run to the bathroom.
You ask your flight attendant if you can have your dinner in a to-go container.
You see your tropical house plant swaying and stare at it wondering if you will see THE monster.
You start a census of all your friends but discover that your boss wasn't on the original plane's manifest.
You bring a Business class seat with you to the beach and steal sun block, sunglasses, and beach towels to trade/barter with all the lesser beach-goers.
Trueogre 01-03-2005, 08:08 AM Your bus is late. You tell everyone it's not going to come.
Ophelia 01-03-2005, 10:32 AM You tell your dogs that if they more like Vincent you'd like them more.
You try and get pregnant hoping a cute guitar playing hobbit will fall in love with you.
You break into an Austrailian accent and call everyone Chahlie.
When you wake up, you refuse to move until you wiggle your toes just to see if you are paralyzed.
You smile at people with orange skins in your mouth.
You fake the tattoo 'Living is easy with eyes closed' on your forearm.
You pretend you can predict whether it will rain.
Ophelia 01-03-2005, 12:54 PM When you see a homeless person with an empty jar on the streets, instead of giving them money, you stick a finger in the jar and take some peanut butter and invite them to do the same.
Prncssleia 01-03-2005, 02:14 PM Your mailman knows all your "Lost" theories.
Stephanie
Ophelia 01-03-2005, 02:17 PM You tell your cat that Daddy is on tv when Lost comes on...
*raises hand* Yes, I do this. Charlie is my cats Daddy...LOL
Ophelia 01-03-2005, 06:10 PM Your dog farts and you say, 'Wow that was like a Jedi moment...'
you start to use "Do you watch lost? You should cause it's really good" as a conversation starter and pickup line :laugh:
peaches 01-04-2005, 07:24 PM you start to use "Do you watch lost? You should cause it's really good" as a conversation starter and pickup line :laugh:
*I have been guilty of using that as a conversation starter! *
me too shhhh don't tell anyone :whistling2:
hehe maybe why it's not as funny as the otthers ;)
Merry 01-05-2005, 12:41 PM You choose your classes in order to be free on wednesday nights...
adrienne 01-05-2005, 01:12 PM -You paint all of your fingernails black except for your left index finger. You paint that blue. (That is exactly how my nails are right now.)
LockeMeUp 01-05-2005, 01:30 PM Ok, you all, everybody, now look to the left. See my screen name? My avie? My quotes? Those may be a clue that I am Lost.
Another clue is that my husband realized last week that he better start watching Lost if he wants our marriage to last.
Trueogre 01-05-2005, 01:43 PM And what would you do if Locke knocked on your door with two tickets to Australia?
LockeMeUp 01-05-2005, 01:52 PM Unfortunately I realize that Locke is a fictional character and that will never happen :'(
I remember when TOQ responded to one of my posts, I was so excited. As I excitedly told my husband, "Talking to TOQ is the closest I will EVER get to talking to Locke!!!!!"
However, if Locke suddenly became real, and invited me on a Walkabout....I'm not sure I would say no :blush:
peaches 01-05-2005, 07:55 PM You read Watership Down, because Sawyer was reading Watership Down.
.....hehe :laugh:...I'm doing that right now.
Usagi 01-08-2005, 04:05 AM You come here because you have no one to talk about Lost to.
Sadly that is me. I think my friends, co-workers and family are about to take my TiVO, VCR, and TV away from me soon,
I'm past the annoying them part.
:D
sadasi 01-08-2005, 08:00 AM You can't look at an orange without thinking of Locke...
You can't look at a lock without thinking of Locke...
You start hoarding household items and nick-naming everyone you meet...
Also you know you're obsessed with the Fuselage when... you try to end a call on your cell phone, look at the 'speaker' menu item and think "WTF is Speaker doing on my phone?!"
How do I know this? personal experience? I have no idea what you're talking about. *whistles innocently*
CorellianScoundrel 01-10-2005, 02:04 PM Your license plate says one of the following:
LUVLOST
I♥HURLY
I♥KATE
LOSTIE
I♥JJ
You know for a fact how boar and sea urchin taste like
A friend, relative, co-worker, spouse is watching LOST because of you. And you couldn't be prouder.
You have a list of replies based on quotes from the show.
"Don't tell me what I can't do!"
"I'm right behind you Jack-***"
"You are blocking my light, sticks" and so on.
You build a golf course on your backyard.
You have a 3 page list of names for Claire's baby.
You are now fluent in Spanish, Korean, and French.
You are reading Watership Down looking for subliminal messages.
You are throwing briefcases off buildings and/or trees to test their resistance.
You are starting your own knive collection.
You hear the word LOST, and start raving like a raving lunatic about what happened in the last episode.
adrienne 01-10-2005, 05:37 PM You can't think of anything else but Lost in your Government class because your studying John Locke and his Natural Law. (did this today)
readaholic 01-10-2005, 11:37 PM Your husband says, "is the bald guy from LOST on"... or..."ok kids, don't bother mom, she's watchin' LOST".....
GREAT thread...Have been laughing for so long my belly aches.... :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:
NWGraecie 01-11-2005, 01:18 AM You know you're obsessed with Lost when....
Your homepage is www.thefuselage.com
You automatically refresh each internet browser you have open.
You now greet all of your friends by singing, "You All Everybody."
You request the "Sawyer, Sawyer, Locke" song to your favorite radio station.
I like this thread a lot!
kilts_for_boys 01-11-2005, 05:23 AM -Invite your friends over for a "party" and then make them watch LOST
Guilty. :P
You request the "Sawyer, Sawyer, Locke" song to your favorite radio station.
That song is so addictive!
lostfan28 01-11-2005, 02:19 PM Ok, I know I'm going to probably be ridiculed for this, but what's the "Sawyer, Sawyer, Locke" song? ???
LockeMeUp 01-11-2005, 03:11 PM Ok, I know I'm going to probably be ridiculed for this, but what's the "Sawyer, Sawyer, Locke" song? ???
http://www.freewebs.com/lostfoundation/sawyersong.html
I especially like the last two lines!
lostfan28 01-11-2005, 03:22 PM That was hilarious, lol
EllaStarr 01-11-2005, 05:30 PM Your friends greet you Tuesday morning at school with, "Exctied for Lost tomorrow?"
DriveShaftFan 01-11-2005, 08:53 PM You can't think of anything else but Lost in your Government class because your studying John Locke and his Natural Law.* (did this today)
The same thing happened to me, and I was freaking out even more because in the same sentence about John Locke, there was somebody else with the last name Rousseau. lol
But anyway, here's some that apply to me:
-The only time your whole family is watching TV together is when "Lost" comes on (and you are the reason for this).
-Your friends have learned to expect a full explanation of everything that happened on "Lost" every Thursday at school.
-You get a new guitar for Christmas that says "Drive" on the case and resolve to find a way to write "Shaft" beside it.
I might think of some more later. lol
Shattered 01-29-2005, 06:56 AM Your best friends, the ones who do everything with you, won't talk to you on Thursday morning.
Your friend, who used to take on actors last names and use them as her own, suddenly decides you're the weird one because of all the useless info you have about Lost/Lost actors.
You kicked the DVD player cause Special didn't tape.
You can actually name all the episodes, in order, without thinking about it.
The only websites you ever check are somehow Lost related.
Your MSN handle is always Lost related.
You write fanfiction about Lost (character and RPS).
You have explained the purgatory theory, and it's many flaws, to at least three people who haven't even seen the show.
You have pages filled with notes on who may die, what the monster is, what's really going on, etc.
You manage to sneak a million Lost quotes/references into everyday conversation.
karenmichelle 01-29-2005, 10:56 AM You run all over town just so you can get all 6 covers of the "Lost" Tv Guides.
Locke_is_the_Key 01-29-2005, 02:43 PM LMAO!!! OMG and I thought I was the only one!
Quote\ "You hear the word LOST, and start raving like a raving lunatic about what happened in the last episode." /quote
clairbabydaddy 01-29-2005, 03:04 PM --You book a trip to Australia and hope "your character" is introduced in next week's episode
--You haven't made any money at work since you found this site
--You lay in the fetal position and shake until Wednesday comes around
--You wish you were a fictitious characters baby's father * ;)
--You offer to sell your soul just so your favorite character stays on the show..(I got your back Emilie)
--You look for Wild Boar to hunt in the suburbs
--You break a perfectly good compass
--You have 10,000 tons of sand delivered and you move to your front lawn
--You try Charlie's "peanut butter in the empty jar" line with really hot girls
--You attack guys named Ethan and scream, "Where's Claire at you Freak"
--Seeing a Polar Bear just isn't that exciting anymore
--You want to know when DRIVESHAFT is touring in your area
--Your making this list on a Saturday
Merry 01-29-2005, 03:26 PM You get worried because you have team projects this term and people want to meet on Wednesdays nights! :o
Cheshyre 01-29-2005, 07:00 PM You hear the name Rousseau in Child Psychology class and immediately start scouring your book to see if you can find anything that might be useful to your ever growing theory.
Your theory, btw, is now 12 pages long. With illustrations, it's 17.
On Wednesday nights, you answer the phone screaming, "OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING CALLING ME LOST IS ON RIGHT NOW!" and then hang up.
You attack guys named Ethan and scream, "Where's Claire at you Freak"
BWAH! I think I just found myself a new hobby. ;D
MaggieGraceIsHott 01-29-2005, 11:06 PM I've fell victim to taping my fingers, and writing FATE, on them.....man I'm a loser *sighs*
elfdream 01-30-2005, 07:06 PM When you react with horror when you find out friends have named their newborn son..."ETHAN!" :o
:lol2:
free_bird122 01-30-2005, 09:01 PM You make/plan on making t-shirts with various Lost jokes on them
You greet your only fellow Lostaholic at school with either "Is it Wednesday yet?" or "You all everybody!" or on Thursday mornings "OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE..........."
You have nicknames for certain actors/characters (ie, for me Dom is Chipmunk and Naveen is Ocel(h)ot(t))
You talk about said actors/characters all the time, but not using their actual names, just their nickmanes so that people think you're much crazier than you already are.
When the teacher asks "Any questions?" you resist the urge to raise your hand and ask "Is it Wednesday yet?!"
You despise Wednesday night at 9:00 because it's the farthest point from being able to see Lost again.
Instead of watching The Spitfire Grille (crappy movie) in Sacraments class, you wrote 2 fanfictions and an analyisis of every character and what their odds of survivng this season are. (*cough* who, me?)
You put "You All Everybody" on your iPod.
You sing The Sawyer Song at random times.
clairbabydaddy 01-31-2005, 06:32 PM (This is awful, God forgive me)
I have a viewing Wednesday night and yes I know it's a re-run, but still, the first thing I thought was "will I make it home in time?" ......sorry, but I'm obsessed. :-[
karenmichelle 02-03-2005, 07:47 PM You hurry through the airport not to catch your connecting flight which you have an hour and a half to do, but to find a tv so you can catch the preview for next week's LOST.* *Yes, I did that last nite.* *I admit it.* * *:blush:
XxNicholeexX 02-03-2005, 11:44 PM I'm very guilty of many of these, and I'm slowly getting everyone I know addicted to LOST. Last month in U.S. History one of my vocab. words was John Locke and of course I went on for ever about LOST, my teacher was about ready to kill me!
The worst think that I've done LOST related was naming my puppy after Jack.
The weirdest thing in my opinion that I do is this "You break into an Austrailian accent and call everyone Chahlie."
desperatelyxlost 02-04-2005, 01:38 AM http://www.freewebs.com/lostfoundation/sawyersong.html
I especially like the last two lines!
LMAO! Never heard this before but I'm hooked now! Love this thread! Not guilty of any yet, but coming close. I got my sister watching and she called during "Hearts and Minds" a few times...once saying "They're not blood related!" LOL I had to watch the epi all over again because the phone call distracted me LOL!
Cheshyre 02-04-2005, 01:48 AM Your mother calls you to ask questions about the show. When you give her the required information she asks if you got the information from Hurley. You then tell her "yes" as seriously as you possibly can. From that day forth, she routinely asks if you'd heard from Hurley.
Okay, this could possibly just be an isolated incident involving just me and my mother, but I thought I'd throw it out there just to see if anyone else's parents are crazy.
leesha 02-04-2005, 02:22 AM you read the headlines on FARK on laugh hysterically at the "Lost" reference
free_bird122 02-04-2005, 09:23 AM What "Lost" reference? I skimmed through the front page and couldn't find anything. ???
green_eyed_colleen 02-05-2005, 09:26 PM >:( When your cable blinked in and out for 15 mins you started shouting and swearing and questioning the parentage of the cable company.
:D Most of your FAVORITES are web sites devoted to LOST
::) You start looking up things you never thought you would on the internet like
Why a compass won't work
The meaning of true north
Magnets and their diffrent uses
toy and model planes
:jump:
Samurai-Luigi 02-06-2005, 04:13 AM You tape every episode, edit out the commercials, burn them on DVD in letterbox, color coordinate the cases and make your own covers. Extra bonus if you have cases made for episodes that haven't aired yet.* ;D
You watch Lost episodes while you're going to bed, and even though you've already seen them all a hundred times, you still can't sleep.
You're up until five in the morning making posts and working on your full analysis of Locke's motives in each episode.
You still get the chills when you see Jack's father standing on the beach in the waves. (I do)
When you see someone in a wheelchair, you tell them to go to Australia.
You start digging around in the backyard insisting "I know that hatch is around here somewhere.."
When you're in a public place, you pull a letter out of your pocket and read it with a really sad look on your face. If anyone asks you about it, you call them names.
You grow out a beard, don't wash your clothes for a few weeks, take pictures with your digital camera and Photoshop them into promo pics for the next episode. ("I so told you I was in next week's episode.")
..you're contributing to this list?
The_Sheppardess 02-06-2005, 10:21 PM you're contributing to this list
yep, contributing to the list is a good one!
You know you're obsessed with Lost when:
-you walk in to the living room right when a preview for Homecoming comes on, see Ethan and immediately yell out 'evil!' (in case you're wondering, this just happened to me :laugh:)
-the first website you visit in the morning and the last one you check at night is the Fuselage
MPmom 02-06-2005, 10:37 PM The ENTIRE country is watching the SUPERBOWL live on TV, and you're surfing the Fuselage message board for new LOST discussions.
rose_pirate 02-06-2005, 11:50 PM The ENTIRE country is watching the SUPERBOWL live on TV, and you're surfing the Fuselage message board for new LOST discussions.
Check...
You attack guys named Ethan and scream, "Where's Claire at you Freak"
I haven't exaclty done this, but I've gotten the urge to. Or actually I wanted to beat the crap out of him and then stalk him to see if he leads me to Claire...heh, but I resisted the urge...but here's mine:
-people who know you, but don't watch Lost, know what happenes in all the episodes
-it takes everything you have not to tell your friend who doesn't like being spoiled, spoilers...and sometimes you still tell them
-you use things from Lost in everday life and they help you
I'm guilty of all three. The third happened when I woke up and couldn't breath, and I remembered Jack's 'jedi moment'...I then officially declared myself an obsessed nerd... :happy:
free_bird122 02-07-2005, 07:31 AM The_Sheppardess, I'm guilty of that one.
*points at Ethan* EVIL! EVIL!!!
The_Sheppardess 02-07-2005, 09:00 AM LOL, free_bird122 ! My parents know I'm addicted to Lost, but I think they were still a little surprised by my outburst!
You know you're addicted to Lost when... You're happy it's Monday because that means Wednesday is only 2 days away!
LostFanForEver 02-08-2005, 05:46 PM WOW i am a victim of half of these, especially the SuperBowl one, while everyone watched the superbowl...this is where i was at, here at the Fuse, having lovely theory discussions and conversations! love this place! SO addicting!
Ive done the Fate/Late thing, but i dont use tape, i dont have the same tape as charlie does, but i just write them on my fingers...im OBSESSED with doing that
Heres a good one
You insist on anyone having a baby to name them characters from Lost- GUILTY, i just found out my good friend is having a baby, and I told her that if its a girl, she should name her Claire, and if its a boy, she should name him Charlie, ive told her this like 5 times, i am like "I think you should name it Claire if its a girl, and Charlie if its a boy", but she doesnt like the names, harsh of her!
Oooh got another....your addicted to the words "spot on" and say it constantly if your having a conversation with someone- GUILTY! im so guilty on that, im crazily obsessed with the words "spot on" and im always saying it if im talking to my friends, i remember i said something to someone..about either SNL or something, and i was like: "IT WAS SOOO SPOT ON!" ill say that or just point to them and be like "spot on"
HAHAHAHA, ive done also..the whole breaking into australian accent thing, i do it alot at work, im always trying to be like Claire, not sure how to explain how i try to be like her, but i do, and i break out the whole accent thing, people look at me and think im australian, its great! i just act like her alot, her and Kate, i always act mysterious when im acting like Kate, like ive got a billion of secrets, and i try and do kate's facial expressions, my friends at work say im over obsessed with the show and im like "damn straight!"
And now everytime i bring up the show, they walk away from me, ive talk to them about the show TOO much, but i cant help it, im so addicted and obsessed with the show, ive successfully gotten 2 of my friends into the show, WOOHOO!
Shattered 02-09-2005, 01:58 AM Ah, the tape thing. Who hasn't done that? I personally only do it on Wednesdays.
- you've annoyed you're friends (who *gasp* don't watch Lost) so much by trying to figure out who dies in Homecoming that one of them actually went on the spoiler board and is taunting you 'cause she knows who dies (or thinks she know...)
- you snorted brown sugar just to see that it was like (it's quite interesting, and become mess when you start laughing)
- you have taught people what Tabula Rasa means, so now they think you're really smart
- you are on more than three Lost-related forums
-you looked in an atlas and tried to figure out which islands they could possibly be on
-you have contributed to more than one YKYOWLW... list
-you are genuinely shocked when people don't know what DriveShaft is
-about half your inside jokes with friends are somehow Lost-related
-you tape each episode of Lost twice just in case something happens to one of them (is that bad?)
elfdream 02-09-2005, 02:44 PM When you can't go outside without looking up and darting from tree to tree because of monsters.
You consider coloring your hair blonde and wearing a fake pregancy pillow....to the LOST convention that you are so* sure is going to happen!* :laugh:
adrienne 02-09-2005, 06:03 PM While your father is watching car shows on Saturday mornings and they begin to talk about drive shafts you're like "DriveShaft! HA!"
I'm guilty of the Super Bowl one too! I don't even know who won!
clairbabydaddy 02-09-2005, 07:05 PM Your waiting for BANKSY to to keep updating the countdown
hopelesslylost 02-09-2005, 07:55 PM ...you rush your son through his homework!
Somebody knock some sense into me! :o
Samurai-Luigi 02-09-2005, 08:04 PM You're watching "Special" right now so it will segway into the new episode.* :)
cuseboy 02-09-2005, 08:13 PM Hey guys.....where ARE we?
sifichick 02-10-2005, 01:36 AM Some of these are true in my case. Some of them aren't.
~ Since you're moving anyway you decide to redecorate your bedroom so it looks like a cave in your new house. Then you go through the tv listing to see when that monster house where they did the cave bedroom and bathroom is on so you can take pointers.
~ You convince your mother it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. When she says oh I don't like this very much. You make her watch it anyway by telling her "you're not giving it much of a chance. I sware you'll get hooked."
~ You decide that the next pet you get is going to be named Vincent even if it isn't a dog.
~ You hope and pray someone will buy you a golden retriever and name him Vincent.
~ You rename your pets to names from the show.
~ When your mother talks about going to Itallly you do your best to convince her that Australia would be a better destination.
~ When your mother starts dating again after your father dies and you're going through the men she's thinking about and you see an australian you try to convince her to go out with him. (I am sooooooooooooooooooo guilty of this one.)
hahahahahahahahahaha good stuff guys'n gals
you know your addicted............when you get your day off from work changed from Sunday to Wednesday just to watch Lost.
heh I'm in the process of this right now.
free_bird122 02-10-2005, 04:39 PM -You call for a moment of silence for Scott. Poor Scott... :'(
Or was it Steve?
maggieb 02-10-2005, 05:02 PM You know you're obsessed with LOST when...............
........you cram 8 hours of work into 3 so that you can spend 5 hours of your 8 hour workday on this site! :lol2:
craftydorthy 02-10-2005, 08:47 PM You go on vacation to Hawaii and actually rent a car so you can drive by the building where the sets are supposedly filmed.* This turns out to be nothing more than a strip mall, so you drive to the beach where LOST is supposedly filmed.* You're really excited because they are actually filming something and they're letting you take pictures and everyone is really nice and then you get home and realize you were on the wrong beach.
Yes, I'm not kidding. Been there, done that.
Chronicycle 02-18-2005, 02:16 AM Your teacher mentions John Locke and you immediately shout out that he's a character on Lost...Guilty. :P
Leigh47 02-19-2005, 12:38 AM When your dog has a litter of puppies and you name them all after Lost characters.
You spend any free time at school searching for information on Locke, Rousseau, Carlyle, or even the ancient meanings on certain symbols.
When you're supposed to do your reading homework for English class, your busy reading a book that is related someway with Lost *Watership Down...oops...*
You and your best friend create a shirt that says "T.G.I.W." and flaunt it every Wednesday.
Have used Microsoft Trips and Streets CD-ROM, along with the internet, to find the quickest route to every filming location that has been used on Lost.
You come home from a Wednesday class, expecting to watch your taped Lost and someone turned off the VCR!* >:( You start to cry and act hysterical, first storm off, punch your pillows. Then get on the internet talk to anyone you can get a hold of and end up calling everyone you know who watches Lost to see if they taped it...*Happen when 'Homecoming' aired! Still haven't seen it...GRRR
You get a haircut to look more like a character on the show.heh Jack inspired me to get a buzz cut.
You talk so much about Lost that all your friends thinks that you are crazy
elfdream 02-20-2005, 05:59 PM You try to find articles of clothing like the characters in the show..let's see..I want a Boon card shirt and a Charlie 'bucket' shirt and and pair of cargo pants like Kate's..... ;D
Bliss 02-21-2005, 12:54 AM You know you're obsessed with Lost when you* "know" which nickname Sawyer would give to each of your friends :laugh: .
You're already planning a Lost season finale party which features a menu based entirely on food products that the lostaways could use on the island. You find yourself pondering whether your friends would consider a kava and guava juice cocktail as an acceptable substitute for a margarita :laugh: .
lostinchitown 02-21-2005, 01:23 AM you know when you're obsessed with LOST when...
you start thinking of ways to get stranded on an island with a hot canadian chic
you sit in class and all you think about is what life would be like if you were stranded on an island with THOSE people
you start training to kill a boar
you google 'knife throwing'
you google 'pregnancy basics'
you google 'other alternatives for a toothbrush'
all you do is eat, sleep, and go on the fuselage
you steal all the pencils and barter with your classmates and their lunch money
you equate every person you ever met to a character on lost
you go up to your friends and ask them "caves or beaches?"
you realize no one you know understands how you could like a show this much
you dont understand how they cant like a show like this
you second guess all your peanut butter jars for the rest of your life
you randomly speak in an australian accent
you get kinda good at it and run with it during all aspects of your life
you introduce yourself as one of the charaters
you really, really wanna be a con man
Domhobbit 02-21-2005, 03:22 PM Oye this is crazy I do like all of them. I give my pets middle names + my cats name is Scout Precious Charlie lol! My dog is Katie Rachel Merry lol! I eat a peanut butter sandwich every wednesday + talk about it non stop! Ooo keep posting! =)
georgiapeach81 02-21-2005, 03:24 PM You get excited when you see someone wearing Charlie shoes(the black and white ones)
(That happened to me)
Cheshyre 02-21-2005, 04:51 PM georgiapeach...The Charlie shoes of which you speak are called Vans, I believe. ;D
You know you're obsessed with Lost when you meet new people in the real world and wonder how long you'll have to wait before you get to see their flashback.
Chronicycle 02-22-2005, 01:26 AM I just bought Watership Down today. :P
Anyways, another Lost experience was when I told my friend the date and channel Lost will premiere in Israel where her family originated from. Talk about random, huh?
technophobe 02-23-2005, 11:09 PM You procrastinate on doing your homework in order to post on the fuselage (guilty :happy:)
You don't say anything because the people you're with aren't talking about LOST. (guilty again)
Leigh47 02-24-2005, 12:00 AM You procrastinate on doing your homework in order to post on the fuselage (guilty :happy:)
*Raises her hand, jumping around madly yelling "Me! Me! Me!" - Doing it right now as a matter of fact...suppose to be reading for anatomy and physiology...but who needs to learn about the muscle system right?!?
The White Lady 02-24-2005, 01:05 AM Your teacher mentions John Locke and you immediately shout out that he's a character on Lost...Guilty. :P
Or you only know who John Locke is because you were researching him to support your latest theory. *guilty*
As for Lost clothes. . . I have a Locke vest! ;D And very much want Kate cargo pants, cause those are snazzy.
You tell your friends (non-watchers) exactly what happened in the latest episode, wheter they care or not.
You are upset that people don't know who Sayid/Kate/Claire/Ethan/Sawyer is.
You turn on the TV at five of eight. . . just in case.
Chronicycle 02-24-2005, 01:43 AM You tell your friends (non-watchers) exactly what happened in the latest episode, wheter they care or not.
You are upset that people don't know who Sayid/Kate/Claire/Ethan/Sawyer is.
You turn on the TV at five of eight. . . just in case.*
Haha...I've experienced those. I just wish I had more friends who watched Lost. I tend to talk about what happened with excruciating detail and it gets on people's nerves.
jordles 02-24-2005, 02:06 AM You're already planning a Lost season finale party which features a menu based entirely on food products that the lostaways could use on the island. You find yourself pondering whether your friends would consider a kava and guava juice cocktail as an acceptable substitute for a margarita :laugh: .
:lol:
Here's (a fairly random) one:
You start waking up each morning by opening one eye, suddenly, and staring fixedly straight ahead.
peanutbutter101 02-24-2005, 12:00 PM Instead of watching The Spitfire Grille (crappy movie) in Sacraments class, you wrote 2 fanfictions and an analyisis of every character and what their odds of survivng this season are. (*cough* who, me?)
When you're wondering what the odds are for each characters survival.
When you're playing Zoo Tycoon and you can't help but make a lion named Charlie and a zebra named Ethan, put them in the same cage together and watch gleefully while Charlie rips out Ethan's throat. And you do this over and over again.
When you hate high school basketball because the tourney scores came up and blocked the subtitles in the dressing room scene in last night's episode.
When you want to beat your friend's brains in because she won't watch LOST but she'll talk no-stop about 7th Heaven.
clairbabydaddy 02-24-2005, 12:09 PM --You blatantly leave the Fuselage window open so you can log a lot of time :P
--You don't do ANYTING between 8-9 EST on Wednesday nights......and I mean nothing
Chronicycle 02-25-2005, 12:28 AM --You don't do ANYTING between 8-9 EST on Wednesday nights......and I mean nothing
I had a project due for school today and I told my partner specifically not to call me from 8 to 9 because Lost would be on. I hate being interrupted when watching an episode. :P
Aurora10 02-25-2005, 01:49 AM When you plan a day of making Lost shirts to wear them on Wednesday.
lostfan28 02-25-2005, 05:36 AM You pass by a rack of batteries and think about buying them to send to Hurly (That actually happened today) :lol2:
georgiapeach81 02-25-2005, 09:33 AM georgiapeach...The Charlie shoes of which you speak are called Vans, I believe.
Oh ok, cool.
clairbabydaddy 02-25-2005, 12:43 PM I had a project due for school today and I told my partner specifically not to call me from 8 to 9 because Lost would be on. I hate being interrupted when watching an episode. :P
Absolutely, School takes aback seat to LOST. The way I prioritize it does anyway ;D
peanutbutter101 02-26-2005, 12:26 PM When you are driving down a street and you see Dom's Barber Shop and you nearly go into a fangirl moment but remember that Dom is in Hawaii and he'll most likely never come to Maine. :'(
The_Sheppardess 02-26-2005, 02:59 PM You don't do ANYTING between 8-9 EST on Wednesday nights......and I mean nothing
Heck ya! I basically fall off the face of the Earth for an hour every week. :)
I don't do anything from 7:50 to 9:10 Wednesdays. I don't take phone calls and I don't answer emails, everything stops. I must admit though, once I "studied" during that time but only because it was a rerun and I'd fail a course if I didn't. (I know, studying during the show could be considered sacrilege, feel free to smite me as you see fit.)
;)
~Shep~
car88win 02-26-2005, 03:08 PM One of you needs to make one list of these things like they did in the one word at a time thread, I'd love to have these to read to those that have no clue why we are the way we are! These are so funny I split my pants laughing *kidding*
*although i did snort soda out of my nose earlier* :whistling2: :lol2:
Ophelia 02-26-2005, 03:19 PM You start to believe that somewhere out there, there is a Charlie or a Claire waiting for you...
People fall of the face of the earth between 7:50-9:00 on Wednesdays? Try When I Get Home From School-12:00 a.m.
I only skimmed the thread, so I don't know if this is a repeat or not...
You know you're obsessed with LOST when you stop referring to your friend Danielle as "Danielle", but as "Crazy lady" or "Sayid torturer".
Ophelia 02-26-2005, 03:43 PM good goddard, thats charming...
you know your obsessed with lost when you start planning a trip to hawaii just to stalk around set
Good Goddard! My phrase is spreading like...err...butter or something else that spreads really well...
You know you're obsessed with LOST when your teachers imply that you have an obsession...err...Good Goddard!
***It's Drew's birthday today!***
Ophelia 02-26-2005, 03:53 PM We are the official slang starters of the Lage, u and me! I started lurve and you started Good Goddard!
You know your obsessed with lost when you start having your own fandom slang
KaileighBlue 02-26-2005, 04:19 PM My friend from Miami (I'm in tennessee) calls me long distance just so we can talk about the show. I don't know if that says more about him or me.
My other friend is now hooked because I made her watch it. Last show we had an ice cream and Lost viewing party heh.. still have a gallon who wants some?
Charlie's shoes; Vans yes, $40 pair of slip on shoes that I *HAD* to have. But not because of Charlie ,Because of Weird Al
Oh forgot,* *I'm making* a Hurley Plushie for myself and a CLaire one for my Miami friend.
We are the official slang starters of the Lage, u and me! I started lurve and you started Good Goddard!
You know your obsessed with lost when you start having your own fandom slang
I've been saying "lurve" off the board for years. Great minds really do think alike.
I've also been spreading around "What. The. Bananas." At least two people here on the 'lage have used it in their everyday life. One has used it so much that her students have started saying it.
I think you, me, and the Fat Dutch boy could take over the world.
elfdream 02-26-2005, 06:41 PM Your neice just called. Not just any niece. The one who lives on the island of Oahu.
So you spend the time talking about her kids and when her husband is coming home from Afghanistan and really important stuff...but all the while all you really want to know is...
HAVE YOU VISITED THE SET OF "LOST"?
When she says she lives only about 20 minutes away from the site and has been there and taken pictures..she suddenly becomes your favorite niece... :lol2:
fanofangel 02-26-2005, 09:26 PM MANDANGO PEOPLE
Good Goddard this is a good thread
Happy Birthday Drew
Shep - I spite thee, Wed from 8 to 9 should be Lost related ONLY if a show is not on. NO STUDYING.
My friends have informed me that I end every conversation with "Lost Wednesday" instead of see ya or bye or talk at ya later. I'm a geek. I've been known to send out emails reminding everyone to watch.
Ophelia 02-26-2005, 09:32 PM You know you are obsessed when you think a fuselage is a place where LOST fans come and chat ;D
peanutbutter101 02-27-2005, 06:05 PM You know you're obsessed with LOST when you're Mom hands you a magazine with a bunch of pictures of Foxy and you look through them(even though he plays your least favorite character) and when your Uncle gives you a curious look, you're Mom explains that he's on LOST and that you watch LOST. But she says it in a tone of voice that makes you sound like a crazy person!
Kelmishka 02-27-2005, 07:43 PM Only a few right now...
- You have an envelope full of 'Lost'-related magazine cutouts because you love making 'Lost' collages.
- You and your friends have planned a crazy 'Lost' parody you're going to film over the summer.
- You can't fall asleep because you have the 'Sawyer Song' stuck in your head! [It happened last night - it was HORRIBLE!]
Chronicycle 02-27-2005, 11:21 PM For some reason Sun's "I was going to leave you" speech from ...In Translation is stuck in my head. I'm pretty sure that qualifies as obsessive.
chelslyn 02-28-2005, 07:20 AM You choose your classes in order to be free on wednesday nights...
I know it's pathetic, But I dropped a class paritally for this reason.
Ok I've got one... you know you're obsessed when...
You've actually check airfares to Hawaii, with hopes of going and "bumping" into a cast member.
Goldilocks 02-28-2005, 04:19 PM You’ve sorted the characters into the different Hogwarts houses
Slytherin: Sawyer, Kate, Shannon
Ravenclaw: Sayid, Locke, Walt
Gryffindor: Jack, Charlie
Hufflepuff: Hurly, Claire
;D
chelslyn 02-28-2005, 04:55 PM omg that's awsome!
jordles 02-28-2005, 06:02 PM ...* you find yourself checking the local weather forecast for Wednesday night -- not because you actually care much about the weather, but you're worried that LOST subtitles will be covered by winter storm warning messages!!
KaileighBlue 02-28-2005, 06:05 PM You’ve sorted the characters into the different Hogwarts houses
Slytherin: Sawyer, Kate, Shannon
Ravenclaw: Sayid, Locke, Walt
Gryffindor: Jack, Charlie
Hufflepuff: Hurly, Claire
;D
If seeing that post make you want to draw(or whatever artform you use) them in the uniforms.
BTW; Hurley!Plushie can now be viewed : http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15621939/
Awe! That's really cute, KB!
Destination L.A.X. 03-01-2005, 01:34 AM I'm guilty of a lot of these...especially yelling at people when they call me in the middle of "Lost" on Wednesday nights. :biggrin:
You know you're obsessed with "Lost" when:
-Your friends swear to never speak to you again if you sing "You All Everybody" for the millionth time.
-You've started a "Sawyer, Sawyer, Locke Song" Choral Group.
-Whenever someone doesn't understand you, you yell in an English accent, "You don't know me, I'm a bloody rock god!"
-Whenever you hear the words "peanut butter", you start daydreaming about Claire.
-You start making "Lost" crossword puzzles.
KaileighBlue 03-01-2005, 02:12 AM -You get really disappointed (ok ..mad) when people say they will stop watching if so and so is killed.* I'd be sad if Hurley died but I would still watch.
And I did make it, by hand.* thanks :P
Hiram 03-01-2005, 03:18 AM If you're one of those people who love a good long night's sleep, but ever since thefuslage,
you find yourself posting about silly things like "You know you're obessed with LOST when"
at 1:17 A.M. CST! And you know you have to get up at 6:30 A.M. but you just don't care!
:angel:
elfdream 03-01-2005, 09:49 AM I'm guilty of a lot of these...especially yelling at people when they call me in the middle of "Lost" on Wednesday nights. :biggrin:
I'm guilty of that one. I don't yell but that's because I don't answer the phone. :laugh:
When you're watching the news for the weather and you find out there's a place called Boone in one of the Carolina states, you laugh like a mad woman--that's obsession.
tatoomahmut 03-01-2005, 09:49 PM You cry at the end of Lost, having to wait another whole week before your next Lost 'fix'!!* :'(
Dude, can you imagine when the season finale airs and we have to wait ALL SUMMER? Plus, you know it's going to be some crazy cliffhanger and I will be ANNOYED that I can't just tune in next week to find out what happens!
Merry 03-01-2005, 10:46 PM - You're in New-York and you're walking in Times Square for the first time and you notice the huge ABC commercials. You wait several minutes in front of it in case there's a Lost commercial. You squee when there's one. Two days later you come back at the same place and wait for it again. And you film it with your digital camera. *hides*
The White Lady 03-01-2005, 11:56 PM - You're in New-York and you're walking in Times Square for the first time and you notice the huge ABC commercials. You wait several minutes in front of it in case there's a Lost commercial. You squee when there's one. Two days later you come back at the same place and wait for it again. And you film it with your digital camera. *hides*
Hey, there is nothing wrong with that! It's for. . . um. . . posterity.
I did the same thing with LOTR. . . :whistle2:
You know you're obsessed with Lost when you buy a full membership instead of a one day one to a convention. . . just so you can go to the Lost panel.
Destination LAX, I used to mutter that a lot. To myself. It was fun. <3 Dom's accent.
When you tell your friend "You're ruining my life!" after he missed LOST due to his rehersal for Grease, you're obsessed with LOST.
Chronicycle 03-03-2005, 10:20 PM More obsession. I was talking to my friend about the latest Lost episode and when she left, I overheard her say something along the lines of "Wow. He DOES talk a lot about Lost!" I guess I'm starting to get a reputation as a Lost addict.
free_bird122 03-03-2005, 10:36 PM You know you're obsessed with Lost when...
-You WILLINGLY do math to try and figure out some kind of mathematical significance to 4 8 15 16 23 42
-You wake up one morning and hear screeches and groans outside your window and go "Cool, it's the monster!" and you, while still half asleep of course, really do think it's the monster until 15 minutes later when you go downstairs and look out the window only to see that the monster is a garbage truck. >.<
Not like I've ever actually done that before... :angel: ;)
-You write Lost fanfiction (I can't BELIEVE no one has mentioned this before! Or have they? I dunno, this list is getting too long to go back and check.)
-You make a Numa Numa Dance parody about LOST. (My current project. Do NOT steal my idea. Please?)
I would write fanfiction, but I haven't been inspire enough lately.
Cheshyre 03-04-2005, 01:21 AM I never thought of fanfiction writing as an obsession. That would mean I have multiple obsessions.
No wonder I'm so tired. ;D
SeanSmythe 03-04-2005, 01:59 AM When you download the Driveshaft song
You get depressed cause of the 5 week break
You get scared when you see 8 15 on the clock
You see a white labrador at night, wondering if he'll turn into a polar bear
You actually begin to like the Boone character
You applauded when Shannon kissed Sayid
A friend gets a cut and u say you can sow it up with a bottle of vodka and a sewing kit.
You put an orange in your mouth and smile.
Whenever I eat an orange, I put one of the sections in my mouth and smile. My friends think it's funny, I think I'm obsessed with LOST.
clairbabydaddy 03-04-2005, 03:54 PM I guess I'm obsesed since I played the numbers for Power Ball and Match 6.... ;D
KaileighBlue 03-04-2005, 04:54 PM I would think you would be More obcessed if you were *afraid* to play those numbers :fear3:
clairbabydaddy 03-04-2005, 05:24 PM Good Point. If I win I'll be just a little apprehensive to collect I think.
free_bird122 03-04-2005, 06:59 PM -You go to bed each night going over in your head "4 8 15 16 23 42......"
-You tell your fellow Lost addict this and she gets seriously worried that you'll end up like Larry
CorellianScoundrel 03-04-2005, 07:39 PM Me? Addicted to LOST? You can't be serious!!! ;)
<<<Carries a first aid kit, and a case full of knives just in case he ends up in a deserted island. And his license plate says IMLOST.
Does your license plate really say "IMLOST"?
CorellianScoundrel 03-04-2005, 09:15 PM :lol2: No, but I wish I could. ;)
peanutbutter101 03-04-2005, 10:02 PM You Know Your Obssesed with LOST when you see a picture of a person with finger wraps and you seriously want to write FATE on the poster where the finger wraps are.
When you're planning to burn a bunch of CD's and name them after LOST episodes (I already have "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues" because "perfect" by Simple Plan was on the CD!)
jordles 03-05-2005, 09:29 AM ...when you look at your number of posts and feel like the number "means something", and you post about it, but posting changes the number, but then you realize that THAT number means something too , so then you..... :lol2:
elfdream 03-05-2005, 05:05 PM :lol2:
When you watch the crash flashback in Pilot 2 looking at the seating arrangements and you find yourself counting how many times Charlie TAPS HIS FINGERS!* You think it might have been 42 times!* :lol2: :lol2:
car88win 03-05-2005, 06:25 PM :lol2: I tried to do that! :roflmao:
When you buy a lottery ticket using the same numbers that Hurley did.
http://lost-media.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=509
And lose.
:lol2:
CurrentlyLost 03-06-2005, 01:49 PM You give your signifigant other an empty peanut butter jar for his or her birthday.
You hiss at anyone that comes in when you're watching Lost.
When you see a car crash, you jump in and raid the car.
When something bad happens to you, you go crazy trying to see if you used Hurleys numbers during the day.
When you win the lottery, you tell no one, fearing they'll get hurt.
When on a plane going from Australia to L.A., you tell the person next to you, "This must mean something."
When you see suspected con men, you give them knowing looks.
You continually flirt with southern boys with blonde hair.
You continually flirt with english boys with guitars strapped to their backs.
You continually flirt with your doctor.
When Lost comes on, you shut yourself in your room for hours longer than the show is supposed to be, and when your boyfriend opens your door, he finds you bent over a notebook analysing what happened during the show (regardless of a rerun)
When you babysit, the game you most want to play with them is "Stranded" (a game we used to play in preschool)
When someone asks you what three things you would want with you when stranded on an island, you say a box of knives, a cute southern con man, and, of course, a TV set so you don't have to miss Lost.
That's all I can think of for now.
peanutbutter101 03-06-2005, 02:40 PM YKYOWLW...you're on the boards when you should be finishing you lit circle book (The Chosen by Chaim Potok) Blech!
free_bird122 03-06-2005, 05:56 PM YKYOWLW....
-You see this headline on Fark: "Unusual radio waves detected coming from center of Milky Way. 4,8,15,16,23,42" and scan through the article, trying to see if they're being serious.
*cough*guilty*cough*
elfdream 03-06-2005, 05:59 PM When Lost comes on, you shut yourself in your room for hours longer than the show is supposed to be, and when your boyfriend opens your door, he finds you bent over a notebook analysing what happened during the show (regardless of a rerun)
Guilty.
When you somehow manage to convince your husband who doesn't even watch the show to play around with the 'numbers' to see what he comes up with.... :lol2:
peanutbutter101 03-06-2005, 07:57 PM YKYOWLW...you get Sim City and you automatically make a LOST city and the surrounding cities are "Craphole Island", "Caves", "Beaches", and "Danielle's Lair".
Brilliant, pb101! Just wondrous! Post pics in Ophelia's thread if you can!
*is clearly obsessed with LOST*
Chronicycle 03-07-2005, 01:54 AM Here's a new one that I was recently guilty of. You know you are obsessed with Lost when you get a fortune cookie and are disappointed that the numbers on the little piece of paper are not 4 8 15 16 23 and 42.
Samurai-Luigi 03-07-2005, 08:25 PM Here's a new one that I was recently guilty of. You know you are obsessed with Lost when you get a fortune cookie and are disappointed that the numbers on the little piece of paper are not 4 8 15 16 23 and 42.
YKYOWLW, you read the above post and the first thing that pops in your head is, "What if a fortune cookie is involved..."
YKYOWLW, you think Sawyer's the jerk who stole your $50!
CrazyChlojo 03-07-2005, 11:07 PM YKYOWLW...
~you blame all lost items on a boar
~you tell your teacher a polar bear ate your homework
~you have a special "Lost" bag to bring to school on wed. instead of your backpack
~your friends who dont watch the show*MAJOR SIN* know exactly what has happened in every episode because of the way you talk about it...
sifichick 03-08-2005, 02:12 AM Instead of saying Charlie you say Chalee like Clair does
Everywhere you go you listen carefully because you want to make sure the monster isn't following you
You buy a short wave radio and spend your days listening for odd transmitions
CurrentlyLost 03-08-2005, 07:49 PM I was recently guilty of the following:
When you go to the zoo with your neice, you immediately head for the map to see if they have wild boars or polar bears (they had neither at our local zoo).
Your neice, regardless of being eleven months old, can already say "fuselage" and "peanut butter." (my sister loves the show as well, and my neice spends most of her time with me, so that tends to happen).
A majority of the folders on your Mac have something to do with lost.
Hurleys numbers are tacked to your wall, and every night you stay up until one AM trying to figure out what they mean (I did that last night)
I managed to do all of these in one week. I'm truly obsessed (as are a majority of the people on here.)
YKYOWLW, the clock says it's 8:15 and you get the wiggins.
peaches 03-11-2005, 11:59 AM YKYOWLW.....
You are making a LOST scrapbook! :D...*And I think it's starting to look pretty good, even if I do say so myself!" ;)
peaches 03-11-2005, 01:08 PM AND......
When you have a day off from school, you spend your ENTIRE time here on the fuselage! *hehe! :D that's what I'm doing!*

Every single day on the way to and from school you pass by a gas station called Oceanic and are just a bit freaked to go there.
Hehe. I just noticed that Lost connection for the very first time today. I was looking out the bus window on the way home from school and went "holy crap!" ;D
Hiram 03-14-2005, 02:07 AM YKYOWL
when you know at first glance what the above acronym stands for
Here's a new one that I was recently guilty of. You know you are obsessed with Lost when you get a fortune cookie and are disappointed that the numbers on the little piece of paper are not 4 8 15 16 23 and 42.
I did this very thing just a few days ago and was freakin' when the first three numbers I peeked at were . . . 4 . . . 8 . . . 15!
Then I LOST it. I don't know if that was good or bad.
:angel:
sickotriz 03-15-2005, 06:19 PM You make it a mission to get as many people you can hooked on the show, just like you.
You write the word LOST on desks, etc...
You hear music from lost in your head throughout the day (you know, that melody they play... like the first music they play after the action sequence in the pilot episode).
YKYOWLW...you ordered candy from a fund raiser and the numbers of the candies are 16 and 23.
Samurai-Luigi 03-16-2005, 08:03 AM YKYOWLW... (Note: Some of these I've done, some not. I'm not THAT crazy. But I'll let you try and figure out which ones are real. ;D)
- Anytime you see any of the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, or 42 in any combination, you get chills. And then you break out the crosses and the holy water, 'cuz you know somethin's goin' DOWN.
- You're still showing people the "Sawyer Sawyer Locke" song (bonus obsession points if you still watch it on a daily basis).
- Throughout the day, you say to yourself, "You know, I should make a post about..."
- You've made your own set of Lost DVDs, but won't feel satisfied until you make elaborate covers for them in Photoshop.
- Now, when you watch Terminator 2, you think, "Hey, that's the guy from Lost!"
- You frequently check your watch, wondering when "Hurley time" is and if it has anything to do with "Hammer time".
- People going to work see that you're still posting on the Fuse at 7am, and they are not surprised.
- You feel giddy when watching old episodes of Alias. (You know what I'm talking about *cough-kendall-cough*)
- Your girlfriend calls you long-distance just to tell you she saw Daniel Dae Kim on an episode of Law & Order, and your response is, "See, this is why I love you."
- You go out and buy every season of Law & Order so you can scour them for actors from Lost.
- You want to start watching Babylon 5, because "That french chick is such a babe."
- Not only does the Lost music play over and over in your head, but you start acting out scenes along with it. (Bonus: In public.)(Ultra bonus: In costume in public.)
- You go to your doctor to make sure you're healthy enough to handle the BCD.
- You're contemplating getting a headband with a picture of Locke printed on it.
- You wonder when they're going to make Lost action figures, and already have a spot picked out for them on the shelf.
- People look at you funny on the street because you keep repeating, "The monster's gonna be cool. I know it will. It has to be. It's gonna be cool..."
- You decide to quit smoking because if Sawyer can't have any, neither can you.
- When you see a bald man, you have to fight the temptation to ask him what his miracle was. (Bonus if you actually do)
- While writing this list, you've decided you'll make a Lost drinking game.
- When you have conversations with people, no more than 5 minutes goes by before you bring up Lost. Again. (Bonus if it's a perfect stranger)
- You're convinced that all your problems are caused by a boar, some numbers, and that jerk Randy at work that takes stuff off your desk (oooh that Randy, why I oughta...)
*sigh* I need help.
And Randy is so totally gonna die. Touch my fabled Australian Walkabout pamphlet will ya', we'll see who's walkin' when I get done with YOU... *grumble grumble* Don't tell me I can't beat your @($&*^!!
sifichick 03-16-2005, 10:34 AM ...... when you cry knowing that the next new ep is still 2 weeks away.
jordles 03-16-2005, 10:43 AM ...... when you cry knowing that the next new ep is still 2 weeks away.
Well, sifichick, it's still earlier than we initially thought at least! ;D
DarkTeach 03-16-2005, 12:18 PM YKYOWLW...
... you find this message board, and spend an entire Saturday reading all the old posts so you don't miss anything.
... you rewatch all the previous episodes listening for whispers and stopping the video incessantly saying "Wait! What was that??"
... you go out for drinks with friends and find out they don't watch, so you retell every episode over the course of the evening. (And they're still not watching!!)
... you set BOTH VCR's to record, just in case something should go wrong with one, you'll have a back up.
ocean_fire 03-16-2005, 10:25 PM Yes. I have come to a conclusion. I am obsessed. Officially. You guys have me too convinced. :laugh:
Inhaler Thief 03-17-2005, 04:50 AM I'm obsessed with Lost.
I named my desk lamp Mr. Locke. I even have his name written on him.
Why did I name him Mr. Locke?
So I can proudly say to my friends, "Look! I'm turning on Mr. Locke!". Might of been better if I named him Sawyer...or Ethan. Preferbly Ethan.
free_bird122 03-17-2005, 11:52 AM Yes. I have come to a conclusion. I am obsessed. Officially.
Join the club. :laugh: ;)
dizzylizzy 03-17-2005, 12:51 PM I know I'm obsessed!!! I watched The Case last night and I could say everybody's lines before they said them!!! It gave me a good laugh-- even if it was at myself!! :lol2:
elfdream 03-17-2005, 01:05 PM When you keep checking this thread to see if anyone is doing anything crazier than you are.... :lol2:
crashover 03-18-2005, 12:05 AM When you buy "Genetics for Dummies", read it in 3 minutes, post a theory about the N(d)umbers, and someone blows it out the very second after. ;D
You have nightmares about the Help or Hurt game.
I had a dream that Shannon fans were hurting Sawyer and Boone. Luckily, my dream ended before it got any worse.
:blink:
LostEnchantment 03-18-2005, 12:21 AM You learned French just to translate the messages
Every week you sit for an hour with a notebook in hand just in case you missed something
You now begin to pronounce Charlie as Chaarlie (rhymes with trolley)
You now call grils 'sweet cheeks' 'freckles' or 'sticks'
You refer to being a 'dude'
Your two new fears are of the 'Burmuta Triangle' and airplanes
car88win 03-18-2005, 12:21 AM Thank god for that! *:lol2:
hobbitsrule101 03-18-2005, 11:39 PM lol we did something like this on the Abc boards!
elfdream 03-19-2005, 03:23 PM You need a new pair of tennis shoes and you are tired of not finding anything in your size (I have small feet) when you look up and you see a pair of ...VANS! On sale!
So they aren't the cool black and white checkered things like Charlie wears but they are still VANS!
And right after I got them I was walkng outside when a truck passed that had the name of a business on the side. It was someone named Ron DOMINIC and you have to make a fuss because the guy's name was Dominic! ..... :laugh:
hobbitsrule101 03-19-2005, 03:46 PM :lol2: That is hilarious!! It must have been a sign!!! :lol2:
prittygurl03 03-21-2005, 02:51 AM You know you're obsessed with Lost when you spend hours posting on The Fuselage so you can up your rating...and it doesn't bother you one bit!
Aurora10 03-21-2005, 03:48 AM ....when you name your knee cap Sawyer. Yep, I'm guilty. :lol2:
Cheshyre 03-21-2005, 11:34 AM Does your knee cap con people, Aurora? ;D
Samurai-Luigi 03-21-2005, 07:51 PM Sometimes I swear my elbow is hoarding things.
Sorry, totally off-topic. ;D
YKYOWLW...
...everytime you see the word "lost", you smile, no matter the context.
...you write the "numbers" on someone's wall and then swear they were already there, and that you're a little scared. (Guilty, sadly.)
...you think Lost can be connected to anything, even quantum mechanics and Bruce Campbell.
...you saw a review of "Bride and Prejudice" and were upset that Naveen Andrews wasn't mentioned.
...you've started a change jar to finance your trip to Hawaii for next year.
...anytime you watch a sketch comedy show, you hope they parody Lost.
fanofangel 03-22-2005, 01:01 AM You consider going to college so you can understand what their talking about in the Philosophy 101 thread.
islandchica 03-22-2005, 01:24 AM You Know You're Obsessed With Lost When...
You wish people a Happy Lost Day, Lost Day Eve, and Day Before Lost Day Eve. (........ guilty.....)
waltisfuture 03-22-2005, 01:33 AM you're really excited to see this topic, and even more excited when you see there is lots of pages.
Crazy loves Company
Cheshyre 03-22-2005, 01:45 AM YKYOWLW...
...your social psych teacher mentions Bride and Prejudice to illustrate a point and you miss said point because you're too busy thinking, "I've seen an icon of Naveen Andrews dancing in that movie."
Aurora10 03-22-2005, 04:18 AM You wish people a Happy Lost Day,* Lost Day Eve, and Day Before Lost Day Eve. (........ guilty.....)
I'm guilty, too!
Does your knee cap con people, Aurora? ;D
Yes, it does. Sawyer hurt me yesterday and he made a snapping noise today.
Rock Goddess 03-22-2005, 04:40 AM You know you're obsessed with LOST when...
You're still awake at 2:41 am, and are simultaneously trying to finish Watership Down, while working on making bookmarks for the Sawyer Book Club and post at the Fuse. ::)

Christina93 03-22-2005, 08:53 PM I don't have any, I'm just saying I must be obsessed because I do ALL of those things, YEY!! OO;;
Your obsessed fan,
Christina
lostnlaguna 03-24-2005, 12:38 AM You actually purchased a “Lost Boone” shirt on zazzle.com
When you’ve actually used time in therapy to discuss the show
When you’d pass up Starbucks for a Lost fix (I’m looking into developing a Starbucks patch for this)
waltisfuture 03-24-2005, 05:06 PM While out of town a few days ago, I noticed a business called Locke....so I looked across the street, and there was a Down Under store. I didn't think it was a coincidence, I took it as a sign!!
Aurora10 03-24-2005, 08:58 PM ^That's awesome! lol
...when you order the 'Walkabout Soup' at the Outback and get excited.
...you want to share your soup with Locke
waltisfuture 03-24-2005, 09:02 PM I can talk about "Lost", for a 3 hour drive to a hockey game, and 3 hours back, and not repeat myself.
elfdream 03-24-2005, 09:21 PM When you record just the last bit of 'Hearts and Minds' because the first time you recorded it the TIvo cut that bit off!
LostEnchantment 03-24-2005, 10:03 PM ......when you're friend who hasn't seen Lost *GASP* asks what it's about and you give them all the recordings or sent them to about 8 different websites to read the overview
Missykaboom 03-25-2005, 07:13 AM hahahahahahaha! *falls of chair and starts having hysterics on the floor*
You write the word LOST on desks, etc...
I'm sooooooo guilty of that one!
* you grab people school books and scribble lost, fate, or any of the characters names across the page in big writing.
* you steal people diary's and write the lost actors b'day in them.
* when your eating oranges you smile at your fellow lost friend and have your own inside joke. You then allow her to draw a scar running down you eye in red pen. Then when people ask why you have pen on your face you scream and crash tackle them like Sayid did to Jin.
* You and your fellow 'Lost fan' have your own book where you write a fan fiction like thing that includes you on the island with all the lost character. *slaps head*
* You throw the remote at the TV when an ad comes on during lost.
* You crash tackle your soccer coach (sayid style) when he says that training is now on on Thursdays (I'm from aus).
* You officially disown Easter because they took Lost off because of it.
*you say on boards like this till 12 at night before getting forced to retire because your butt is molded into the computer chair and your hands refuse to move.
* you get horrified that the spell check thing on this board doest recognize the name 'Sayid!'
Sawyer rules!

Easter----bunnies------rabbits------Watership Down-----black-----white------eggs------birds-----talons
YKYOWLW...
Your mother puts rabbit figurines on the table and you think of Watership Down.
LostEnchantment 03-25-2005, 12:58 PM Missy- lol *raises hand* gulity :lol2: Also guilty for yelling at the TV when a commerical comes on and you say on boards like this till 12 at night before getting forced to retire because your butt is molded into the computer chair and your hands refuse to move.
peaches 03-25-2005, 08:04 PM * when your eating oranges you smile at your fellow lost friend and have your own inside joke.*
*Guilty! But I had to substitute the orange with a lemon!*
YKYOWLW...
*You see someone wearing a shirt that says "Wild Boar Hunting Is Addictive" and you automatically think of Sawyer and how he really needs that shirt! (Happened just the other day!) :D
Aurora10 03-25-2005, 08:17 PM *You and your friend make up stupid but funny songs that rhyme about a Lost character.
*You put those songs in a special journal.
*You cry at a scene from a rerun (I cried again when Charlie almost died)
*You make up nicknames for your family/friends a la Sawyer.
peaches 03-25-2005, 08:48 PM *When you see the characters from Lost in other people....
ex. This guy in my English class looks exactly like Hurley! ...well if is hair was curlier and darker.
*You ask the person if you can call them by the character's name
ex. Hurley...(lol and the guy said I could)
fanofangel 03-25-2005, 10:15 PM Hey someone tell me about Watership Down. I've seen it around a few times. Is it that submarine movie? Someone explainy please.
Sawyer: "It's about bunnies."
All I've got is what Sawyer has said. I know bits and pieces of what others have posted. I'll let them tell you so I don't screw it up too badly.
LostEnchantment 03-26-2005, 12:33 AM ....you suddenly notice that everyone around your town looks a shockingly a lot like a specific character from Lost (aka I saw a guy in the mall and he looked like Ethan. I nearly screamed, in fear, to his face.)
Aurora10 03-26-2005, 03:30 AM An Ethan look-a-like?!?! :fear3:
I'm always saying to my friend, "What if Ethan pops out of that corner?!?!"
LostEnchantment 03-26-2005, 04:01 PM And what was scairer was that a guy at where my dad works looks like Locke except a little heavier. It's so scary they just pop out of no where!
Bescky 03-26-2005, 06:01 PM All I'm going to admit doing is writing Fate and Late on my fingers.
Aurora10 03-26-2005, 08:59 PM Haha! I've written Fate on my fingers before....some of you might remember my avie. lol
sheba 03-26-2005, 09:01 PM ... you fiddle around for nearly an hour making a really bad polarboar avatar. :lol2:

Err...I'm obsessed with LOST...
sheba 03-26-2005, 09:08 PM sheba, I love Polar Boar. I do believe I coined the term "polar boar," unless someone else did it first and I was completely unaware of it :-[

Wasn't trying to steal your polarboar. :blushing: I didn't mean to take credit for creating the term. Just the bad representation of it. :lol2:
Oops! I didn't mean to imply that you meant to take credit for creating the term. I love your avie!
teerose 03-26-2005, 11:57 PM .....you try to talk your husband into going out for wedding anniversary dinner on Thursday instead of Wednesday(I'm still working on this one.)

jumpandyell 03-28-2005, 02:54 AM ... you've figured out the connection between Hurley's lottery numbers and EVERYTHING, including but not limited to: the stock market, quantum physics, Greek mythology, monkey mating rituals, weather statistics, data encryption, dairy prices, natural disasters of the 15th century, Dick Clark, the extinction of dinosaurs, the Kennedy assassination conspiracy, my grandma's cooking, the Easter bunny, Maggie Grace's clothing sizes, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Irish folk songs, the Great Depression, bible passages, Barry Manilow's wardrobe, and the formula for zero-point energy.
Some of you need HELP. ::)

When your friends to you shut up because you brag about the show all the time.
When your ex-boyfriend still watches the show because of you.
You write the numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42 on a pieces of paper, and give the pieces of paper to people who have wronged you* :devil:.
Which I so haven't done...

Yeah, you need to work on that! ;) But seriously, I've seen a few posts on this site about those numbers that crack me up. I'm reading through, waiting for the punchline, but it never comes. The entries go on for PAGES, and people have done more research than I did on most of my college essays. LOL
I should be more respectful to those that have worked so hard on the rest of our behalfs. Sorry folks! Go obsession!
I wish I was dedicated enough to care about the numbers. I guess I'm just a different type of fan. I like dissecting the characters. I just see the sci-fi/supernatural stuff as a catalyst of sorts.
