You know you've been watching too much Fushigi Yuugi when...

 

 

You see the title of this list and you say, "That's impossible!", although your friends would strongly disagree.

You know the guy you'll marry will have blue hair cut just like Tamahome's...and possibly a red ogre tattooed on his forehead.

You won't watch WWF Smackdown- only Tamahome Smackdown.

Your brother calls you Miaka, and you respond to it. Soon, your entire family starts to call you Miaka...in public places.

You get colored contacts so that your eyes look like Miaka's.

You dress as Suzaku no Miko for Halloween.

And convince your friends to be your Suzaku Seven.

And your other friend (who looks like Yui) to be Surrey no Miko.

And insist she has her Seiryuu Seven.

And then you insist that you face off in the halls at school- YOU'RE GOIN' DOWN, SEIRYUU!!!

You hear flute music and get down on your knees and yell, "AAAHHHH-he's trying to weaken my life force!"

Your annoying little brother imitates Amiboshi's flute music because he knows it will have the same effect.

You hear a howl and scream, "Ahhh- Ashitare-Run!!!"

Lightning strikes and you think, "Soi! She's come to get me!" (Do we see a pattern here?)

Whenever somebody advances toward you in a menacing way, you scream for Tamahome. But then you realize it's pointless...he can sense when you're in trouble.

You call every library in your state asking if they have an Important Documents Reference Room or The Universe of The Four Gods.

When that fails, you try the 5 neighboring states.

When that fails, you do a nation wide search. (Hmmm- another pattern developing?)

When that fails, you call the National Library in Japan.

When that fails, you call every library in Japan.

Then, every one in China.

Finally, very frustrated, you hire some guy in China to Write you a copy- even thought you'll never be able to read it.

Every time you meet somebody from Japan, you ask if they like Fushigi Yuugi...and if they would like to send you some merchandise.

Your parents kick you off the internet cause you spend too much time online downloading FY stuff (1 pm to 1 am isn't that long) and nobody has been able to call.

Your dad, who's never actually seen FY, can sing along with the songs cause you play them so much.

"No da" and "Da" have become a regular part of your vocabulary, you say them with out thinking. And your dumb friends ask what it means every time. Morons. You also seem to have developed Tasuki's swearing habit.

While absent mindedly doodling in AP history, you write Tamahome (or you seishi of choice)'s name with hearts around it. In English and in Kanji.

One of your friends has a crush on Tasuki- and she's never seen the show.

Your art project for ceramics was a Chichiri head pot...you didn't mind how difficult it was to make the hair stay in place while it dried and having to make it balance.

Later, your only FY-lovin' friend (don't worry, there will be more...hahahah) runs up to you in the hall happily stating, "Chichiri's in the display case!" You tell her that was you. She said that's what she figured.

FY pictures are covering all your notebooks...and you're very proud of them.

You plan on writing a FY musical. And starring in it.

You also call every t.v. production company and propose the idea of a live action Fushigi Yuugi mini-series- and demand to play Miaka. In fact, you've pretty much cast the whole thing (now Brad Renfro will play Tamahome...)

In between receiving FY tapes, you crave new episodes so much it nearly drives you crazy...it kinda reminds ya of a drug.

You get hurt and wonder, "where's Mitsukake when you need him?"

You want to sneak Chiriko into your AP History exam with you. And the SATs.

You also refer to the aforementioned exams as your "entrance exams" and man, do you hate studying for them...but you have to...to please your mom.

You write this list instead of reading Grapes of Wrath even though you have a test on it tomorrow.

You write the Chiriko symbol on your foot, hoping it will make you smarter.

In your Japanese class, you insist that everyone call you Miaka.

Your friend want to fix up Sailor Mars and Tasuki- holy fire attacks, it makes sense. You give her a lecture on how it would never work.

You start to turn in homework with the name Yuuki Miaka on it instead of your own.

It makes you happy when you can apply a Fushigi Yuugi analogy to a situation (and you've done it many times!!).

Your windows wallpaper is Tasuki and Taka sitting in front of a brick wall with "Nakago Sux" spray painted on it in hot pink. You love it. 

You search through your brother's lego people until you find one that looks like Suzaku no Miko and all of her seishi...then you steal them and display them in your room (keeping the Miaka one and the Tamahome one together all the time).

You cry when a Suzaku Seishi dies.

Hell, you cry just thinking about a Suzaku Seishi dying. Just the other day you cried in Math class thinking about Nuriko and how you're gonna miss him.

You develop a fever. You make your friend promise you that she won't let a woman named Miss Shoka come and eat you to your bone marrow.

You are thrilled when Miaka starts singing "Ho Taru Koi" (To cover when she almost says "Hotohori" in front of the Kutou emperor) cause you sang that in choir!!

You make signs with Tamahome's picture on them saying "If you see this man, please contact me immediately" and post them all over school.

Your sort-of friend tries to tell you that Tamahome's not real- and you yell at her telling her she's wrong, and you'll find him!! (The worst part is she's an FY fan too) (this is not the same friend who saw the Chichiri pot)

"Daaaaa!" is the first thing you say when you get frustrated.

A male friend of yours smacks you on the arm. You look at him and say, "You hit girl...and you call yourself a man!"

Yep, your AP notes sure are pretty with all those Chichiri drawings on them.

You sip tea while doing your homework- and think about Tamahome and Miaka drinking tea together.

You get a fake ID, go to a bar and try to order a "Nuriko Special"

You celebrate Seishi birthdays.

While at Disney World, you insist of going to Epcot's China (so you can search for a copy of The Universe of the Four Gods as well as seishi weapons) and Japan (for anything FY!) (And you are sadly disappointed when you don't find either).

Your favorite Spanish word is chícharos cause it reminds you of Chichiri.

In AP history, you ask, "But why did the Japanese have to bomb us?" A friend of yours turns to you and says, "Don't bring your love of anime into this!" (But really, I love Japan for many more reasons).

While making Easter eggs, you draw a Chichiri face on one and write, "Happy Easter, no da!" on it.

No matter how much you love Japan and want to go there, you could never visit Nakano because it reminds you too much of Nakago.

You make a Chichiri prayer bead necklace for your little brother, who thinks he's Chichiri. He wears it constantly. You are so proud.

You also make him a Chichiri staff- out of straws at McDonald's (and some staples and tape).

You wish a Nyan-Nyan would come clean your room for you.

When somebody asks what's wrong with you, you tell them you suffer from "Tamahomania".

You notes on The Native Son (for English class) contain side comments on lines such as: ...you can'twin (Amiboshi and Suboshi??) Or ...Bulm's Delicatessen (Tasuki?)

You no longer read the word "task" anymore- now it's automatically "Tasuki" (which makes reading that boring AP textbook sooo much more interesting).

And "home" has become "hom-e".

You freak when you learn that one of the members of Feeder is named Taka.

You are sooo proud and happy. A friend of yours who has seen FY manga (although he never actually read it, just looked at the pictures) looks at your hair style one day and starts calling you "Fushigi Yuugi", not knowing the name Miaka. You are even more elated when he calls you it again 2 weeks later- you can't believe he remembered that, the first time he had seen the manga earlier that day, and he hadn't seen it since. (But don't worry, you'll make him watch the show soon...BWAHAHAHAHA (Tasuki laugh)).

You don't care if you ate yourself sick at the Chinese Buffet because later your friend compared it to Miaka.

When your friend who looks like Yui come to visit, your Chichiri-brother and you call her Yui-chan. It drives her crazy.

But you did teach her to do the happy-anime-schoolgirl-jump.

While sitting at lunch, one of your friends asks another what you are listening to. She replies it's probably your stupid anime soundtrack. You wish Tamahome was there to get all ogre on her ass for calling it stupid (and she's one of your best friends).

You insist on calling your older brother Keisuke when he returns from college for vacations. 

You re-write the words to one of your choir songs so it is now directly related to Fushigi Yuugi (before it just reminded you of a song Miaka would have sung when Tamahome went off to Kutou). Click here to read the new words.

Now in choir you are currently singing "Windsong" from Mighty Joe Young. You wonder why you couldn't sing "Kaze no Uta" ("Melody of the Wind"-Nuriko's song for those of you who are unfamiliar with it) instead. Both are about the wind, written in a foreign language, and from a soundtrack.

You see Tama brand drums in the choir room. You tape -home underneath it. When that gets ripped off, you try -neko instead.

You think it is just the coolest that Tamahome's seiyuu also did the voice for Fiore in the Sailor Moon R Movie.

You find some book in the library, open it, and try to get sucked into it while yelling "I'M COMING, TASUKI!!!!"  (Which is quickly followed by strange glances from the librarians, then you realize the book you chose was
something similar to the Karma Sutra.....eek...)

You begin to suspect that your math teacher is Soi.  Bitchy, short-skirted nymphomaniac- sounds accurate to me!!

You have a male friend who repeatedly states that he is gorgeous, and nothing is handsomer than him.  This totally reminds you of Hotohori.  But he also would (seriously) do anything for money, reminding you of Tamahome.  You settle on calling him "Tamahori".

Remember that teacher that might be Soi?? Well, she quit after having you in class.  You’re convinced it was because she saw "Yuuki Miaka" on your papers, realized who you were, realized you were onto her, and decided she had to get away.
