You Know You're Obsessed
About Stargate: Atlantis When...

By Leesa Perrie:
  1. You buy something containing citrus and either a) feel guilty or b) snicker evilly, because you can have it but McKay can’t.
  2. Someone mentions Captain Kirk and you immediately think of John Sheppard.
  3. You know what a flux capacitor is and what movie it’s from, even without having watched said movie, and think that one is a) stupid, moronic and unscientific or b) kinda cool.
  4. Your family and friends can recite general Atlantis trivia even though they’ve never seen the programme.
  5. Your pets are called after Atlantis characters, ships, planets, races or… you get my drift.  (There is little hope for you if your kids are named after them too!)
  6. You think it’s highly amusing to call whales Flagecallus.
  7. You want to learn stick fighting (unless you’re a McKay fan, in which case you really don’t!).
  8. You start hiding knives in your hair.
  9. You like wearing beige or grey jackets with blue, yellow, black or red panels…
  10. You drink too much coffee and eat too many PowerBars.
  11. You also eat a lot of pudding cups and blue jell-o.
  12. You eat random food that you find cooking in a pot over an open fire even though you don’t know what it is. 
  13. You offer said food to a friend.
  14. You have a sudden desire to watch and read all Batman related programmes, films and comics.
  15. You think the team is like the Fantastic Four even though they are nothing like the Fantastic Four.
  16. You take up skateboarding and surfing.
  17. You buy all of Johnny Cash’s records and hang a poster over your bed.
  18. You a) flirt with every good looking member of the opposite sex, b) flirt (badly) with members of the opposite sex with short, blonde hair.
  19. You get a tattoo on your neck.
  20. You start a campaign at your local school: Just say no to Wraith enzyme!
  21. The boy/girl of your dreams finally asks you out on a date on the night that a new episode is aired, you turn them down in case all of your recorders break down at the same time.
  22. You can’t go to the wedding/insert important event of your brother/sister/insert family member because it clashes with a convention that you booked into AFTER receiving the invitation to said family event...
