you create fake lightsabers out of paper towel roles glued together to choreograph a fight scene. And force your brother to use one to try and attack you...
Or you create fake lightsabres out of PVC piping and different colored duct tape. And jump around on a huge trampoline with your friend choreographing a fight scene using the fake sabres.

LMAO! Don't forget all the little noises.
I have to say, I'm very guilty of the "speeling" thing. What? I think it's funny!

The following statement makes perfect sense to you: H/L, L/M, AU NJO
You leave a Star Wars movie thinking, "Geez, George, you didn't write that scene very well," and then you go home and write up the scene the way he *really* meant it
You think it's completely normal to put an MPAA rating on a piece of print. (Does anyone ask whether Stephen King's new novel is PG-13 or R?)
You scribble notes furiously during the dullest class in school--of course, what you're writing is: "Obi-Wan slashed furiously at the slathering swamp monster . . ." (Extra points if you are the teacher of said class.)

I read that and thought for a second, why wouldn't it make sense?
It seems fic code is a second language to me now. >>;

Exactly!
And the fanfic rating came up at my house yesterday, because my little sister was reading Harry Potter romance and I said "it's probably just PG" to my parents, and they got so confused....

You're watching a movie with some friends and you get a cross over plot bunney idea and you immediately start bothering your friends for a puece of paper, getting them extremely pissed off at you only for something to happen ten minutes later which competely ruins any hope for your plot bunny to work.

... after watching The Lion King repeatedly while babysitting, your first reaction upon getting home is to log onto the computer and write a Vader fic based on the premise of "The Circle of Life".
... when doing something like that makes perfect sense, because you can't be expected to sit through James Earl Jones without immediately thinking "Darth Vader".

Mary-Sue and Gary-Stu aren't just rednecks. 
When a teacher with a heavy accent begins talking you immediatly begin thinking about what planet in SW that could come from.
Oh and the fangirlism in here is scary! I mean there are probably only 2-3 guys in here...

You meet someone new and automatically think "I wonder what their screen name is," and then you check their personality against the list of your faithful readers wondering if he/she can be one of them.

* While watching the movies, you start thinking missing moments you've written/read are actual scenes and become disappointed when they're not in there
Read 'em and wrote 'em.

...you know how to get the accent over the e in Padmé and various other Naboo related names.
Very guilty! Try explaining how you learned that trick to your staff members/sponsor on the yearly annual!
Your favorites/bookmarked sites are mostly fanfictions, or somehow fanfiction related.
Truly, deeply guilty. That's all I have.
...your mom calls you and asks what you're doing, and you say, "I'm checking my email." "Reading" is also another good excuse.
Uh huh. Except I also tell that to my grandmother (who's very nosy) and nephew.
I just usually kind of give a vague "I write a lot" since I still haven't managed to explain Fan Fic to my family despite them all having read some of mine.
Yeah, same here.
...when you watch movies and wonder how you can use the plot in your fiction.
...when you talk about 'flaming' to other people.
...when you can't sleep because a fic is going to be updated tomorrow morning (for me, Anakin's death scene in The Paths of Fate)
...when you know the html for italics and bold by heart.
Apologies if anyone else covered these, I was skimming.
