you know you're an EU fan if... (cont.)

...Ordered fleek eel at a sushi restaraunt.

...Have actually made a batch of Wookie Cookies.

...Have the SW Holiday Special on laser disc.

...Wookeepedia is on your favorites list for quick referencing.

...You actually met a guy named Larone and asked to see his blaster.

 

-if you've mixed up star wars history with real history at school

 

...if you always catch yourself walking instep to "Vader's March"

...if you'd rather be at happy hour at a tapcaf

...if you've nicknamed your Pinto Wild Karrde

 

... you have a dream in which you are a Jedi hunting Yuuzhan Vong and wield a two-phase lightsaber. (like the one that Corran and Gantoris both built.)

 

....If you see diamonds (and such) as possible lightsaber crystals.
....If you want to ritualisticly mutalate yourself, and tattoo your body. (To show your rank, and caste of course)
....If you base your daily schedule on how many hours you want to read everyday.
....if you replace "cool", with "rugged". (see Rogue Planet for details)
....if you've spent more than $400 buying all Star Wars novels.
....If you starve yourself everyday, to save up your lunch money to buy "Revelation"
....if you live by the jedi code.
....if you live by the Sith code.
....if you spend all of your free time reading, and re-reading star wars novels.

 

... you realize one of your coworkers looks like a Gammorrean.

 

If you try to deflect stray ping-pong balls with a pool cue.
If you name a pet bird "Vergere".
If you quote Ganner's last stand while playing video games.

 

I can't believe my thread is still on page 1. (mistrylshadowguard was my original username.)

 

It's like mine (about the things EU Characters would NEVER say) ... it comes and goes.

That said, I better post something on topic.

If you've ever had a debate as to how the Sun Crusher's torpedoes worked(guilty, with my ex-girlfriend, to boot).

 

When asked to pick an example comparin/contrasting good and evil in enlish class, you pick luke/vader, revan, bane, Jacen/Caedus,...

When you initial the book The Lord of the Flies as LotF, see the connection and laugh

Go to sites like this because you can't have an intelligent discussion about SW with anyone you know

 

Yes. You also wish that almost all of the hot Jedi were real
- Exar Kun (ok, he's not a jedi. he's still hot.)
- Anakin (squee!)

you also know if you're an EU fan if you go through the list of characters of your gender looking for your name. I did!

 

Ok, i know i just posted. I just have to say, our computer tech is a SW fan as well, and we were dealing with 2 different computers. One of them was named B4, and I christened the other one TC-17, (the girl C-3P0 in EP I) so we wouldn't get confused.

 

If somebody mentions that they like Star Wars and the first words out of your mouth are 'So what do you think of the Solo Twins?' or 'Isn't Jacen a complete idiot these days?'.

If you watch something that you would have loved before you discovered the EU and find it entirely cheesy now because their over-use of movie-lines and non-use of the cool book lines.

If you've read one of the books so much that it's as beat up in one year as your much older copy of a favorite non-SW book was in 5.

If you watch the old movies and can't help tearing up when you see Chewie because of the stupid NJO. (Why any of us read far enough past that to get to Anakin's death is what I wanna know.)

 

You've been working on a list like this (the following) for about a month. Ps. Sorry for any repeats!

You know you?re way too obsessed wit he EU if...
Ûž Instead of doing your Bible (as literature, lol) study guide for English class (bleah!), you learn how to write in Aurebesh, and proceed to write profanity (if you are so inclined) in Aurebesh in the margins.
۞ You find yourself referencing mundane Star Wars situations/characters (Rukh, Thrawn, Jacen, Mara, Kyp Durron, Cade Skywalker, Tionne Sosular¸ Exar Kun, other such things) while talking to a significant other (mom/sibling/boyfriend/girlfriend) and when they stare blankly at you, you respond, ?Oh, you wouldn?t understand. It?s a Star Wars thing.?
Ûž You daydream more about your hot Star Wars lover(s) (KYP and Grand Admiral Thrawn!) than about your own boyfriend/girlfriend (if you are so lucky as to have/want one).
Ûž For any situation in your life that?s confusing/hard to deal with, you reference what one of your favorite Star Wars characters did in the same kind of situation.
Ûž You draw lightsaber schematics in science class.
Ûž You?ve planned your wedding (as well as your kids? names) with the Star Wars hottie of your choice. Me: Kyp Durron. Boy: Apollo Nikolai, or Nikolai Jacen. Girl: Rose or Lily Katherine.
Ûž You have an ongoing list reasons why you?re so obsessed with the EU, most of these stemming from your own life.
Ûž You look over the lists of reasons other people have made, and you think ?Ooh! That sounds fun!? Then you think, ?Ooh! Been there, done that.?
Ûž You get really excited when they say ?EU? on the news, then you get really depressed when they talk about Germany and France, instead of Bpfassh and Kashyyk.
Ûž Your are currently learning (or practicing) how to write in Aurebesh.
Ûž You begin to write an Aurebesh, but when translated, it ends up being written in English letters, but in the Latin language, just to make it doubly confusing.
Ûž You currently have at least one ongoing fanfic about your favorite Star Wars characters, and have many ideas for others floating around in your head.
Ûž You?ve made your own fanfic about original characters, but it?s still noticeably set in the Star Wars galaxy.
Ûž You wonder how some of the sexy Star Wars characters would be like in bed.
Ûž You?ve actually wrote a fanfic about how your favorite Star Wars character is in bed. (it?s really hot)
Ûž You wish you were the lucky girl (or boy) in your aforementioned fanfic.
Ûž You?ve found situations in which (in my case) I was not given a ballet part that I knew I could have done, and had the stamina for, and you?ve realized how Anakin feels (in Ep 3) (Or ?Now I know how _insert character here_ feels like when _blank happens_.) (Can you say: Almost crying in ballet class when your teacher puts the steps that you won?t get to do because you?re not the lead? Can you also say: I came home from ballet class and cried for at least an hour and a half because it was so unfair? {I really could have done that part, but instead, it was given to someone else!})
Ûž You?ve inserted Star Wars swearwords into your conversations, instead of English ones. (kriff, sithspit, blaster bolts, thank the Force, what in the worlds?! Emperor?s black bones!)
Ûž When anyone says something even remotely Star Wars related (Sun cr...., It?s a trap, and suchlike) you jump up and down and either complete the Star Wars quote, or try to start a conversation (usually this is really awkward) with them about said topic.
Ûž You keep this list up at all times when you?re at your computer (which happens to have a droid service number as its name, mine?s TC-14) just in case you think of something new to add to this list.
Ûž In Band Class, you high-five your friend, because you both know that TIE in TIE fighter stands for Twin Ion Engine.
Ûž You also debate with the same aforementioned friend whether you could make a hyperspace jump short enough for it to be like semi-telep

 

Whoo! I'm learning Aurebesh! Don't you wish someone offered a class on stuff like that, like fictional languages. Say Aurebesh, elvish, dwarvish, etc...*grins* Yes I've given this alot of thought. XD

 

If you tried to come up with a last name for Zekk.

If you refer to Wedge Antilles as TAWG. (very guilty of this)

If once the the Spore Creature Creator comes out you're going to try to create creatures from the SW universe.

 

Dude, i pretty much live and breathe aurebesh! check out aurebeshsoup.com

 

If you Jedi mind-trick pushy salespeople.

If you ever wish you had a case or three of Whyren's Reserve.

If you describe your annoying foster sister as "Tahiri's mouth with Mission Vao's attitude."

 

And if those mind tricks actually work!

 

if you ever wonder what ryshcate tastes like

 

They seem to ... try it.

---

If you get into a fistfight over which green-eyed man Jaina Solo should marry.

Edit: If you imagine you're at Trader Ship Row on Corellia whenever you visit a rowdier beach-front.

 

you tell one of Jacen Solo's bad jokes to your boss who knows nothing about star wars.

 

you ask "What the force is that," when you don't understand something.

 

Or "What in the Nine Corellian Hells?"
