"You know you've had too much Gen/Attolia/MWT when..."

[tearoha.livejournal.com]

rowana 's squashed a cockroach with The Thief, openedlocket's had to stand over her QoA, hand-drying its pages, and philippas  has been ambushed by cockroaches determined to cause damage to her precious copy of The Thief. Add Sylvester to the mix, and you get a bunch of fans oddly plagued by bugs!

It seems that disaster, sadly,  can often befall us whilst too engrossed in Gen's world to pay attention to more mundane matters. But -  and I hesitate to type this - there are some dangers, my friends, that spring FROM too much MWT-reading. rosaleeluann suggested a post around an excellent topic: "You know you've had too much Gen/Attolia/MWT when..."

For example: 

You know you've had too much Gen/Attolia/MWT when...

• There's pimento all over your face from trying to balance olives on your nose, a la Archimedes at the circus last year
• The looming decision of whether to buy CoK in hardback or paperback is causing you sleepless nights
• You buy clothes in bright, clashing colours to look like Gen/You buy red dresses to look like Attolia
• You're tempted to use quotes from TT,QoA and KoA in school/university essays
• You thank people with 'Be blessed in your endeavours'
• When you hear a song for the first time, you listen out for possible Queen's Thief parallels
• 90% of what you write on LJ is Gen-related
• When you see the word/abbreviation 'gen' in a non-Queen's Thief context, you're confused
• You can quote pages from the books verbatim (TLE, I am looking at YOU)
  
   

More ideas?  I know something like this was done a while back, but as far as I can recall it was over a year ago, so I bet we can come up with some all-new answers. There are 444 creative people here; have at it, Sounis!

Forward Momentum!
