You know you've watched too much LOST when...

[TashGaia]

1. You start packing survival gear into your carry-on luggage bag.

2. Fly in the front of the plane, but have your inlaws in the rear.

3. Watch a "Langoliers" for the first time and when the rest of the passengers dissapear go "Aha! They're on the Island!"


:) Just thought this might be an interesting thread... I know these ones suck, I just wanted something to start the thread with so I could hear what other people come up with.

[kat]

You hit really bad turbulence and the first thing you think of is comparing how bad it is compared to the turbulence before the Lost crash and wonder what that means for the likelyhood that your own plane will crash. (This really happened to me! :lol )

[CherokeeChick7]

You look at your family over the remains of Thanksgiving dinner and say, "There's no more food, dude".

[Zambini Stardust]

You start posting on this board.

[TashGaia]

When you start thinking of the day formerly known as "Wednesday", now as "Lostday".

When "Lostday" becomes a eat-out-day so that there is nothing to prepare, cook, clean up, or otherwise hamper your "Lost" watching schedule.

When you record "Lost" on two different recorders... just in case.

[cinderellabop]

When the first question you ask yourself every morning is, "Is it Wednesday yet?"

[azteclady]

when a LOST-less Wednesday means withdrawal symptoms.

when you are already leery of your own behaviour during the holiday break (how many weeks without new episodes???)

When you turn off the ringer on the phone at 6:30 so nobody will call you at the last minute and overlap into the show. If that fails, at 5 'til 7, you say, "hello? hello? Oh, drat, we got cut off," and hang up.

[Hodgepodge]

You carry an Uzi 9mm sub-machine gun in your car on
Wednesdays to make sure you make it home on time.

[Fibro witch]

1- Your in front of the Best Buy store on Thursday morning to purchase a TIVO unit, because your vcr did not record the episode of Lost that was on against your Mother birthday dinner.


2- You find yourself watching the show with your tarot deck in hand helping you figure out what happens next

[FrankCarr]

When you record "Lost" on two different recorders... just in case.

Guilty. We have Lost season passes set up on both the TiVo in the bedroom and the one in the family room.

[LostIslander]

You and your roommate 'play dead' in your dorm room at 7:55 until your RA gives up knocking and leaves. (That mandatory hall meeting didn't sound that important anyway...)

You're discussing Dante's Inferno in english class and the margins of your notes have the Lost characters sorted into their respective levels of Hell. (actually I'm thinking about starting a fun thread on that...)

[JerrysDisneyPrincess]

I hate to admit it, but yes, I'm planning on taking a trip overseas in spring, and I already know that in my carry-on luggage I'm packing major essentials in case of a crash! LOL! This show has made me more paranoid than I already was about flying!

And as for the turbulence - forget it! I was on a flight to Buffalo that I was SURE was going to crash, the turbulence was terrible, and I kept saying to myself "Ok, it's not as bad as the Oceanic flight was."

I also arranged my work schedule so that I do NOT work on Wednesday nights. When we had to fill out our availabilities, I told them that there was no way I could work then, due to a prior engagement on Wednesdays. And I stand firm by it, no matter what.

[jjabramizeme]

same thing, on the way there and back, we'd hit bumps and wait for the tail to come flying off! thanks a lot JJ...

I watched too much LOST when I get those 9:02 blues and think, seven LOOOONG days before I get more answers!!:(

[lostaddict]

You see all the movies that all the actors are in.
(ie Sabertooth, LotR, ect.)

You stock up junk food for Wednesday at 8pm! (guilty!)

[r121567]

I must have been suffering bad - I actually had a dream that I was an airplane crash survivor - stuck on a island but with a few modern conveniences (ie bathrooms) - call me pampered, but I don't do the outdoor thing, even in my dreams.

R

[elflover18]

2. Fly in the front of the plane, but have your inlaws in the rear.
Didn't all the people in the front die?

---You count down every minute until LOST is on (exactly 21 minutes now!!!)
---You start avoiding people that remind you too much of Sawyer

[jjabramizeme]

i've had some lost dreams too, the other night i was on the island looking for a friend, i ate a strange berry and turned into a dinosaur...yeah, it was one of those nights!

;)

[lostaddict]

When you fly to O'ahu (with a bag full of safety stuff) and get all the cast members to sign your Lost poster (Yes, you have one of those too.)
~Lost Addict~
8) __________________

[Cabana Boy]

you end up looking up at the clock on the vcr 5 minutes before the end and get that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach knowing that you'll have to wait another week to get your fix of Lost!

[TashGaia]

When the power goes off for some unknown reason at 7:50 and you go to the Circuit City up the street to watch "Lost" on their TV's....

[lenadoll]

You're so desperate to talk through everything that happened on tonight's episode with someone else (yes, I live alone), you run upstairs right away to log on to the Lost-TV website.

You start fantasizing about buying a laptop so you can log on to the site while the ep is still playing!

[bellalma2002]

When you incorporate "Lost" lines into your daily life.

Example: driving around not knowing where to turn next.

"Guys....where are we?"

[wNt2bHbBt123]

...you begin to sketch pictures of the characters of the show when you are really bored in math class... :D GUILTY! :D

another example of using a lost line in your daily life...
some weird coincedence takes place and then you say...

"Whoa! That was, like, a Jedi moment!"

[Artuskan]

...your plane starts to crash and instead of going into a screaming panic you ask the stewardess for a passenger manifest.

[Artuskan]

...you start wondering if the French expedition was Monsieur Gilligan and Company and this is one of the Professor's experiments gone awry.

...you start packing for a weekend trip and suddenly decide it would be a good idea to put 200 knives in your suitcase.

...you start wondering if your Korean grocer can REALLY speak fluent English.

[cinderellabop]

When you actually have a dream in which you are one of the characters...

[cwis24]

You sit down for a game of risk with your friends and you insist they call you Colonel

(on a side not why isent it spelled Kernal where is the R) :D

[Artuskan]

...you go for a day at the beach and keep wondering where the wreckage is...

...you keep imagining the castaways in a death match with those Survivor twits!

...it doesn't seem odd to you that a doctor would have a big tatoo on his arm (don't all doctors have tatoos?)

...you start looking forward to seeing Vincent's back story.

...you become upset because you can't rearrange Ethan Rom into Ethel Merman (now, THAT would be scary!)

..you keep wondering if there wasn't a famous philosopher named Sawyer and you just don't recollect him.

[Holli16]

Kat: I'm guilty of comparing flight turbulance to Lost, too! *blush*


You beg your parents for a TV for your dorm room JUST so you can watch Lost every week.

Before getting that TV, you manage to convince 25-30 Red Sox fans to crowd into the other dorm TV room to watch the game so you can sit and watch Lost. Boston-based Sox fans at that.

When friends IM you while Lost is on, you respond to them all: "LOST TIME! GO AWAY!"

[cinderellabop]

You start brushing your teeth with aloe.

You get angry because your local grocery store doesn't carry boar meat.

You wonder if boar meat really tastes just like chicken.

You start searching your favorite music store for any CDs by Drive Shaft.

While watching LOTR, you find yourself yelling at Merry not to smoke all that pipeweed (and you call him Charlie).

[Lost at sea]

You sit here and read every entree to this thread to see how many posts you actually do.

[pragmatist64]

you move to a cave because you think its safer than your house

you drink from fresh water strams instead of the tap

you start reading "Watership Down"

you start to think sawyer is actually a nice guy

you hear strange noises and think, its probably just a polar bear

you look for jack everytime u hurt yourself

you look for jack anytime u have some news

you call your dog "Vincent"

you trade your copy of Watership Down for a packet of Cigarettes

and you know uve been watching too much lost when you go looking for them in the pacific ocean!
guys where are they?

[Eriks Shorty Angel]

When you start thinking of the day formerly known as "Wednesday", now as "Lostday".

I do that :lol

[lachme]

you find yourself on the internet researching how to make things like soap and spinning wheels, "just in case."

[AnnieBW]

You start looking on the Internet for Oceanic Airlines.

[poshpenny]

... you not only have a dream you are on the island, you also have a dream you are with the actors

... you have a special AIM away message for Lost time.

... you eat nothing but little tomatoes for lunch for a week because there are no sandwiches or microwaves on the island

... you spend hours making tapes of all the episodes for your silly friends who tuned in late

... you dig out your copy of Watership Down and keep it by your bed

... after telling your friends for weeks that Sawyer isn't such a bad guy, you walk past the construction site where every day the same guys try to talk to you. When one day one says "I'm really not a jerk, I'm just trying to say hi" you are overcome with the irony and laugh at yourself. The next morning you say hi.

... you pray you never have the opportunity to do something really cool on a Wednesday, because you'd just have to turn it down

... you add "Is it Wednesday yet?" to your sig line.
When you incorporate "Lost" lines into your daily life.Totally Guilty

[hotthunder]

..you read about the war in Iraq and worry about Sayid, even though you KNOW he's lost on an island and not involved in the fighting.... 8)

[cccourt]

Atruskan?? I like your immediate thought for a manifest!! Seems so right!
ccc

[kunoichi]

...You have two dreams about watching Lost, and in one of them you walk outside the building and the people are there, just miling around the area.

...You join this forum, a Lost RPG forum, and lurk around on several more.

...You make up a separate character from the other side of the plane and imagine scenarios where that character join the current characters whenever you're bored. And act them out. And draw that character.

...you convince your teacher to watch the show (succeeded!)

[cwis24]

You start referring to a co worker named Shahid as Sayid

[xxvipersgirlxx]

When you look outside your backyard and it begins to look like the "Lost" jungle.

Also, when you grin at the sight of peanut butter and cant get enough of it! :rollin

You obsessively search the internet for everything and anything that has to do with LOST!:b

[ShatteredStarlight]

When you panic all night Wednesday because you have bible study from 7 till 9 that night, and you spend the whole time praying your VCR doesn't crap out (again...). Then dance for joy when it doesn't/throw things when it does.

[Lyric Girl]

...when you dream that you're marrying Matthew Fox...and you look like Kate. Hand to God, I had this dream Friday night. lol.


3. Watch a "Langoliers" for the first time and when the rest of the passengers dissapear go "Aha! They're on the Island!"

I have to say, in the pilot episode when they looked out into the jungle and they saw the trees being torn down and heard the "monster" it reminded me SO MUCH of The Langoliers!!

[lachme]

when you drag out tired month-old threads out of boredom.

[Suil Liath]

ok yep I am recording lost on two different records this Wednesday AND will DL all the episodes just in case.

Someone just shoot me now.

-Kit-

[morbius47]

*BANG!*

[JacksGirlfriend]

Jack! Where's Jack? Damn that doctor!

Pull out the bullet! Forget about those veins - do it now! We've got plenty of ear medicine - we'll worry about it later. Just yank that sucker out! It's what Jack would do!

We need a lifeguard! Where are the pens? Someone get Boone! Wait... here's Jack!

Time of Death: 1:55 p.m.

[walkingcarpet23]

That's funny stuff JG, you should be a writer for the show.

[JacksGirlfriend]

Who has time to write, WC? You know being delusional is a full time job.

JacksGirl

[SecondBreakfast417]

all of the above, PLUS...
you get to school and realize that when fumbling around half asleep in the dark that morning, you somehow managed to get dressed in a green striped shirt, blue zipper up hoodie, jeans & black & white checkered vans...
::looks down at outfit::
::looks up at screen::
Oops...

[azteclady]

SecondBreakfast, you need a beverage warning!!! :rollin

JGF, you really should consider writing down some of those deluss... er, wonderful plot ideas you have! :D



Beto

[KissMESawyer]

You know you have watched too much "Lost" when......

You and your daughter have an actual argument about who is better looking.... Sawyer OR Josh Holloway.

[SecondBreakfast417]

Sawyer or Josh...LOL

[artemisia]

You check the message boards before your own e-mail.
(Even though the love of your life survived the tsunami and is suddenly finally in touch again)
to see what morbi, jg, gs, etc. are up to.
And to make sure you haven't missed a pinnermann update!

[vixensawyer]

You watch The English Patient to see Sayid,LOTR for Charlie and suffer through Party of 5 reruns for Jack

[Things Fall Apart]

To add a few to the list...
-You memorize the lyrics to "La Mer" <---*guilty*

-You freak out when your VCR doesn't tape Lost and beg someone to send you a DVD of it <---*guilty*...it's on its way :)

-You create and search for Lost icons when you've never made an icon or banner in your life <---*guilty*

-You dream of trading lives with SBSSG <----*guilty*

-You've already picked out which castaway you'd be stranded on a desert island with *cough* Sayid *cough*

-You stop referring to the castaways as characters (they're real, dammit!)

I'm sure I have more...but the point is...I watch too much Lost...

[Sarahs Monkey]

...you claim the large bare wall in your apartment's main room as "The Wall of Sawyer" and update it every week with his best quotes from the new episode.

...you reference the show in a story you're writing because a character you're writing reminds you of a Lost character.

...you start calling one of your roomates Hurley because he's a computer geek and a little on the pudgy side.

...the nicknames you give people become references to nicknames Sawyer has given people.

[SecondBreakfast417]

people avoid you on thursdays or take away your speaking privliges & ban you & the only other person who watches lost to the back of the library during study hall...
hahaha

[lachme]

you are unable to participate in any conversation without periodically saying, "that reminds me of the episode of Lost where....."

[LostinTrinity]

You know I've never been accused of watching too much Lost, but I have (believe it or not) been accused of spending too much time on this message board/chat room.

As a matter of fact several of these posts seem to have more to do with being here too much as opposed to watching too much Lost. :o

[SecondBreakfast417]

yeah...I get yelled at for being on here too much...lol

[Found and Lost]

...you get have your parents record Lost onto a DVD and have a marathon.

...you start tapping your fingers as if you need a fix.

...you got dark rings under your eyes when Lost wasn't showing new episodes.

...you went and bought a green striped shirt.

...you put tape on your fingers.

...you start speaking in an Australian or British accent, depends on your mood.

I'm guilty of all of those, except I haven't get found a shirt like Charlie's yet.

[SecondBreakfast417]

Kohls has shirts like Charlies...hahahahaha

[imamiamigurl]

You know you are addicted to LOST when:

You get up at 530am to catch up on posts (guilty)

Its 745am and you know that you have 15 more minutes to read theories and speculaton before you have to leave for work, (guilty)

[JacksGirlfriend]

Don't we all do that? It's how I start my morning.

JacksGirl

[Katherine]

You look at the clock during a commercial and realize there are only 20 minutes of LOST left and you panic!!!

[MangaKhan]

Hey, that's a good one. I do that.

[MagiclBlingBling]

Colonel was an old military term, whereas Kernel is like a popcorn kernel. I thought someone asked that like 2 pages ago, so here ya go!
Gah, I'm no good at things, but these are all very funny...
um...

~ When you seperate your week into Pre-Lost weekdays (sun-tues), Lostday (wednesday, duh!) and Post-Lost weekdays (thur-sat).

~ You're a proud Lostaholic?

[Found and Lost]

Who hasn't seperated their days like that, MagiclBlingBling?

[ShatteredStarlight]

~You write FATE on white tape on your fingers, then spend the day whining that no one got it :(
~You have a folder on your computer called Lost that has over 100 pictures and music videos in it
~You have incorporated not just Lost quotes, but all English slang into your vocabulary

[artemisia]

What do you consider English slang??

[MangaKhan]

You know, using phrases like, "my box is too small."

Stuff like that.

[SecondBreakfast417]

git, bloody, yanks, bollocks...

[artemisia]

Manga
God that was funny!
Cheers!

[dajoker]

you know you've watched to much LOST when you post threads like this

[SecondBreakfast417]

You threaton people with Boone Beatings & they just look at you funny...

[AussieDog]

...you claim the large bare wall in your apartment's main room as "The Wall of Sawyer" and update it every week with his best quotes from the new episode.


I have a large area of nothingness on one of my walls, and I've been trying to find a poster or something to cover it. But you just gave me a new idea... (except I'm going to use quotes from all of lost, not just Sawyer). My hand is going to get a workout, since my printer is out of ink, so I have to write out the quotes by hand...


-- You sever all ties with a beloved family member after they poke fun at Charlie when he cried to Rose (mom laughed at Charlie when he said, "Help me" and I'm still holding a grudge)

-- After something terrible happens in an episode (such as Claire being kidnapped and Charlie being hung), you cry yourself to sleep as if it really did happen (never happened to me, but I have gone to sleep feeling pretty low)

-- You get a glimpse of what might have been Matthew Fox at an awards ceremony, and watch every single rerun of the awards show until you can verify if it really was Fox (during the People's Choice awards, I thought I saw Matthew Fox in the audience and after watching a rerun, I saw it was only Adam Sandler. I was peeved something fierce)

-- You start saving money to start a Rescue Fund for the lost people on the missing 815 flight

-- You go up to the cashier at a music store and ask why they don't have any of DriveSHAFT's CDs.

-- You sock someone in the face because they laughed at you when you gave them a biography of the show (or one of the characters [read: [i]characters, not the actors playing them])

-- You see the back of someone who looks like Locke and you run up to him, yelling obsenities because he hit your beloved Boone (he's not "beloved" to me, but I'm sure he's got some die-hard fans out there), and you find it was your dad or teacher or something.

-- you steal or hijack a plane so you can search the islands for the missing DriveSHAFT member (Charlie Pace) because nobody else seems to care that he's missing AND NEEDS TO BE FOUND DAMMIT

-- If someone utters the word "lost" (as in, "Henry down the street lost Fido last year and never found him again"), you interrupt and start talking nonstop about the show.

-- If your VCR eats your Lost tape or fails to record an episode, you disconnect it, take it outside, and burn it in the middle of the street, yelling and running around like Tom Hanks in "Castaway", when he made that fire (but instead of being victorious over building a fire, you're victorious for savagely executing your evil VCR)

[Found and Lost]

...you buy black nail polish for "Stratigic Charlie Purposes." (Guilty as charged.)

...you have gotten people to finally watch Lost just so that you will shut up.

...you found out that there are gonna be reruns next week that you started smashing a pillow into your mom, who was still trying to figure out whether or not Claire is still pregnant. (This one, too.)

...your dad comes home and the first thing you ask him is if he is recorded last night's episode of Lost.

...you went out and bought medical tape so that you could write things on your fingers.

...you have successfully gotten all of your friends to stop bashing Boone.

...you almost pulled your hair out the morning before the new Lost episode aired from anxiety.

...you actually DID pull your hair out the morning before the new Lost episode was aired from anxiety.

[SecondBreakfast417]

I...er...YOU continuously scare people in your house by yelling things like "OHMYGODCLAIRESBACK!!!!" at the top of your lungs at 9:00 at night...

[artemisia]

God ...I forgot this...
But after "The Moth" I did get my nails done all black with green indexes. Not kidding!!!
And I have a pretty conservative job.
When asked (not that many dared!) I actually told the truth. Needless to say, I may as well have said I was an ax murderer!

[ShatteredStarlight]

~When you've started eating peanut butter on it's own as a snack (absolutely guilty- I'm addicted to it now!)

[jprez98]

You alienate yourself from the rest of the world to spend time on this board and chatroom. I haven't seen my parents in weeks.

You watch an episode so much you can quote it. (I'm guilty of that with a few, especially the pilot, and probably Special, since I watched it 3 times last night.)

Someone IMs you (who knows nothing about Lost), and you try to tell them that Claire, the pregnant chick, just returned from the jungle, and you're not sure if she's still pregnant or not (right after the show, before you've made your decision). But you're not paying attention to anything your typing to them, even though you're trying to explain as much as you can. Instead, you're fingers are just typing and your watching the chat window. Damn, I type too much, since I can do that.

You're afraid to leave you computer for potty breaks, because you're afraid you'll miss something good in the chat.

You check out the boards during work hours and hope no one comes to your desk, since you're not doing your work.

-Jen

[SecondBreakfast417]

you have bronchitis and cannot talk, yet when you are forced to go to school due to midterms & see a friend that watches Lost you manage to yell: CLAIRE CAME BACK!!! down the hall to them...(God that hurt my throat...)

[Found and Lost]

...your theories consist of "them" eating Claire's baby.

This girl at my school actually believes that they ate the baby. I'm still clinging to the lost (no pun intended) hope that Claire is still pregnant.

[yaka22]

OMG, this is such a great thread. I am guilty of so many of them.

~co-workers actually avoid you on Thursdys and Fridays because you can not stop talking about what happened to Charlie and Claire (as if you knew them personally).

~tape every episode of Lost and watch it over and over again, you can now actually quote lines in your sleep

~ you have mini film festivals of different actors on Lost, swear to God I do this (last week: The English Patient, Rollerball, Kama Sutra, Mighty Joe Young - Love that Naveen)

[Found and Lost]

...you read fanfics to your friends that have never seen an episode of Lost in their lives. (Their poor souls.)

Guilty.

[Elriel]

You don't pay attention in Biology (even though your close to failing) because you are either:

A: Stealing the masking tape to write FATE or LATE on you fingers

or

B: Writing fanfics while your writing down "notes"

Has done both ...I still wonder why i'm failing...:rolleyes

[Elriel]

Forgot one ^^

Your parents (or friends) threaten to ban you from watching the show because you never shut up.

When you teacher asks on Thursday for daily news and you ye; "CLAIRE'S BACK AND WE DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S STILL PREGNANT!"

YOu refuse to work Wednesdays because they are LOST days and if anyone calls to ask you to work you growl evilly and hang up the phone.

You go shopping with your parents (on Wednesday) and they keep shopping while you pace around the store as 7:00 nears closer.

Your parents lock you in the car because you're embarrassing them at said store.

You blow off studying for a quiz because it's Wednesday.

[ShatteredStarlight]

~You stare at the clock for the 10 minutes before Lost starts, then during the commericals you watch the clock and can feel the withdrawal come during the show (around 15 minutes left to the show for me).
~ A friend who has never even seen an episode wrote Charlie+Claire on her binder cause you've told her so much about them
~You have a 4 page (and growing) document on the computer of quotes from the show and the actors
~You actually asked you Earth Science teacher a bunch of questions to prove/disprove theories on this board (and, for the record, the odds of a spaceship landing in the ocean, floating, and producing living plants and things, are about a billion to one...the spaceship has to have soil like material already on it for that one to work)...And man, did I get a weird look for asking that one...
~You're planning on asking a Catholic friend some very important questions about purgatory to disprove that one, too
~Your sign in name on MSN is always something Lost related
~You talk to people about Lost, and apparently forget to tell them it's a TV show and they think you're talking about people you know (really guilty of this one for some reason)

[CrazyLostGirl]

You start paying attention in French class just so you can laugh at Shannon’s poor translation of the Frenchwoman’s distress call.

You do a report on John Locke in your history class and fail it. Apparently there’s some philosopher named Locke whose philosophy helped to found the country you’re living in. Who cares about him, anyway?

You mix a peanut butter-like substance with some tropical plant extracts, hit yourself on the back of the head, and then paste the mixture onto your wound and go about your day. When your teacher asks why you didn’t do your homework, you tell her that it doesn’t matter, since she’s just a hallucination.

You ask your best friend if he watched Lost, and when he replies with “No, I don’t watch reality TV,” you give him a classic Boone beating. – this actually happened… I nearly killed him.

You go over your daily limit of 100 page views just as you’re reading this thread. – also happened…

[Found and Lost]

I'm sitting next to my friend who has only seen one episode of Lost, and she keeps pointing out which ones I have done.

...you, who are an anime obsessor, have talked about Lost so much that you don't go out of your way to mention anime references anymore. (heh....)

...your friends know practically everything about the show without having seen more than one episode.... (No comment.)

:lol

[iamlost92]

when you know everything about all the characters and can recite several fave episodes. :b

[SecondBreakfast417]

people you don't talk to at school come up to you & give you an article or picture they found in a magazine :lol

[Found and Lost]

*Sighs* We're hopeless.

[SecondBreakfast417]

Your brother says "I've seen this episode 4 times & yet I have never sat down & watched the show..." while you are watching Lost :D

[Found and Lost]

Sounds like what my friends say to me, 2B.

[Greenlanterncorps101]

You are upset that the State of the Union speech is on a Lostday…
You regret voting for the President because of it…
But the other guy is there too…
Then you think, he’s President, he has a Tivo.
Besides, you know that the Cabinet member they keep away in case something happens, IS watching Lost.

You’re upset, they didn’t ask about watching Lost during the Presidential debates.
Or the Iraqi election…

You’re a Republican, you have a dream where you are Jack, and Condoleeza Rice is Kate.
You’re a Democrat, you have a dream where you are Jack and Hillary Clinton is Kate.

You name your twins, Jack and Kate.
You name your quadruplets Jack, Charlie, Hurley, and Sayid.

You name a pair of mice Sawyer and Ethan…
And give them to your co-worker who raises anacondas…

A friend goes to Hawaii, you tell him, “watch out for the polar bears.”
He says, “Yes, I will.”

You’re unhappy the video store doesn’t have the Lost Season 1 DVD.
But you’re upset, that they don’t have Season 2.
You’re outraged that they don’t have Drive Shaft: Live at Royal Albert Hall
On career day you say you want to be: a doctor;
an artist;
a bank robber;
a conman;
a musician;
a torturer for the Republican Guard;
or lower middle management for a box company, because that’s where you learn wilderness survival skills.

On hearing that one of the main characters may die, you make a note to take the next day off to mourn.
Then you ask your boss for three days because the Lost characters are family members.
Then you ask the President for three days of National Mourning…

You see Mira Furlan on Babylon 5 and you first thought is: “Where’d Danielle, get that bone?”
Then you think somebody should write a Babylon 5 / Lost crossover story.
You write it.
You fly to Hollywood to convince J.J. Abrams and J. Michael Straczynski to make it.
You succeed
You win an Emmy.

[Found and Lost]

lol

[ClaireAndCharlie]

You wake up the morning of Feb. 9 to some non- Lost obsessed person saying "Happy Claire Day!" They only know because you wont stop talking about it

You were found crying after seeing the promos for Homecoming with the guy in the body bag , and u were crying cause you thought it was Claire (um......hehe...not me!!)

When Lost is on and the phone rings so you yell at the box "Stop Calling! Lost is on! Doesn't anyone have ANY consideration at all these days? SHEESH!"

When you and your Lost obsessed BFF start making a Lost Cast of all your friends, plan when and where to shoot it, whether or not these other cast members watch the show or even know that they're in it ( and of course you choose who everyone is and you are your favorite character)

When you have the same name as an actor/actress on the show but spelled a different way and you start spelling it like them (Im Emily for example)

When you're skiing and you think "I wonder if I could get away from Ethan on skis" (long story) and that's how you get faster and eventually join the ski race program;)

When you write out all the different reasons why LOST can do something (for example: Why Lost has reason to believe _____ and _________ should be together) and have a sibling swear you in like the president (long story once again, and yeah that one is weird)

When you name a pet (or in my case a phone) after a character on Lost

When you start yelling at the TV when commercials come on or when you want a character to do something

When you write LATE on your hands but then change it cause your best friend told you it was FATE and then you change it cause she then told you it was LATE..... (that is why there is no skin on my fingers anymore :b )

When you have a trip planned and you need to take a plane and you ask your family what airline and flight number it is....just in case:| ;)

When more than one of your AIM screennames is Lost related and your info is a shrine to the show (guilty as charged)

When you're in cooking class and the teacher is explaining how to make cookies and (s)he is telling you to put chocolate chips in and you yell very loudly "What about peanut butter?! Nothing is good without peanut butter! You have to put it in!" You might not even like peanut butter...

...but yes I like peanut butter and I eat it every Wednesday. My room has really started to smell like peanut butter.

When you go up to random people and with your most serious face say "I remember peanut butter" <--- this is so much fun!!!

When you write on your calendar each episode # and title, and also whose episode it is

When you have to keep a notebook of all the theories you dream up so you wont forget them by morning

When you call your pet "Peanut" and hold it like a baby:b

When someone says I have to tell you something (or along the lines of that) you say "Okay Freckles, what was your crime?" Ive done that before to my Kate crazed friend

When youre listening to the radio but you start singing "You all Everybody"

When you have a category on your AIM buddy list called Lost buddies or I am Obsessed with Lost Friends and its the biggest category (but even having one would mean you watch too much Lost)

When you find yourself writing in your diary: Dear diary, I find myself really liking Charlie. He is really adorable and sweet. Even in a scary place like this, he makes me feel safe."
^ Ive done that :o

When you are talking to someone on AIM that you dont know and you dont want to tell them who u really are and you say you are one of the lost characters ( I did this to someone who watches the show and they thought i was a real person!!)

When you leave your grandmother's funeral early to watch Lost (even though she hated that show)
I did that thinking I had enough death for one day and it turns out Charlie was found dead!:eek lol

well thats all i got

~*~ClaireAndCharlie~*~

[Mb27]

...you lie awake at night because anagrams for Ethan Rom keep popping into your head and you can't cure your insomnia until you get up and write them down.

True story, here's my list:
other man
the roman
heat norm
meat horn
more than
team horn
thorn a me

There are LOTS more, that's just what I came up with in my sleep deprived state. It seemed very important at the time.

[ClaireAndCharlie]

cool list:D

[THE MONSTER IS THE DOG]

When you start eating peanutbutter even though you have hated it all of your life just beacause Claire and Charlie love it. :p

[ClaireAndCharlie]

You know youve watched too much Lost when you get this email for an awesome part in a great play and the director totally thinks you will get it but you check the rehearsal schedule, and see that it ends Wed. at 8, and you dont want to take a chance being Late for Lost

:\ that happened to me

PS Erin, do u really hate P.B.?

[TallHobbit]

At the beginning of your Wednesday voice lesson, your voice teacher says: "Okay, let's get to work so we can both go home early and watch Lost."

The one person at your lunch table who has never seen Lost is now able to differentiate between characters as result of all the Lost-related discussions (although she still refers to Locke as "the bald guy").

You've been known to shout out "TWENTY MINUTES UNTIL LOST!" during your family dinner.

Ethan Rom haunts your dreams... (hasn't happened...yet...:eek )

[Claire]

1. You count down the days, hours, minuets, and seconds untill Lost comes on. (....Only 58 hours, 5 minuets and 10 ten seconds...)

2. You have watch each episode so many times that you have them memorized.

3. Your little sister, who has never watched the show, plays Lost with her barbies.

4. Wednesday is now "Lost Day"

5. You actually post here.

I know, those really stunk.:rollin

[ClaireAndCharlie]

TallHobbit~ Ethan Rom haunts my dreams....:\ its scary!!!

um....when you start crying during class and through your sobs you are able to say they killed Charlie...still even though he came back to life it was so sad....;) :(

When you start giving people nicknames from the show
example/ I'm off to dance class with Kate and Shannon OR
Stupid Boone got me sick!

yeah....

[Chinamom]

Ummm...you plan your first visit to the in-laws' new retirement home on Oahu around scouting for LOST filming...they get really upset because you're hiking the North Shore most of the week instead of taking in the tourist traps with them...you risk being arrested for trespassing just to get some good pictures of the cast lunch tents...you wonder if you should really venture into that jungle with your two small children...

BTW, my mother-in-law is still pretty mad at me...

[Chance Gardener]

Classic.

Illegal activity, pissing off the in-laws, and Hawaiian sunsets.
Good job.

[Chance Gardener]

Ahhh, another oldie but a goodie

[batmoody]

When you go out and buy a SECOND Tivo, because your hubby wont tivo Lost, because he's tivo'ing Smallville.

[Suil Liath]

YOu want to win the company contest for a trip to Hawaii so you can go to the set.

and not for any other reason.

[yung23]

...you build the island in 3d because you want to go there THAT bad !

[jncar]

You have a dream about an original LOST episode--from Hurley's point of view! (Yes, I dreamed through Hurley's eyes, and I am a thin blond woman. How weird is that?)

[Chance Gardener]

...someone messes up at work and you mutter "Arzt goes boom" and no one gets what you mean.

[Suil Liath]

Chance:

:rollin :lol

[Chance Gardener]

Heh, yea it was a funny moment.

At least I've never answered the phone at work giving my screen name as my name.

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

You won't go into the part of your office where they have too many potted plants, because you fear the monster will get you.

[Celtic Ceilidh]

You not only have Hurley's numbers memorized, but you know where everyone was sitting on the plane.

[Brian]

You not only have Hurley's numbers memorized duh, at this point! :) , but you know where everyone was sitting on the plane, and you know what happens when you click on those numbers on the Oceanic seating chart website!

To that I'll only add.......

You know you've watched too much "Lost" when... you've spent more than an hour looking for Shepard anywhere within the fields of philosophy, science, art, medicine, etc looking for a possible real world link between Jack and John! :)

No, I haven't found it yet. And, yes, that includes Jack and Christian! :)

[Bloom Fan77]

-You yell at people when they say "Lost" and "Survivor" are similar
*shudders*

[Brian]

Bloom Fan77,

Well they are aren't they? I mean, they're both TV shows, they both have sand.................................OK nevermind. That's where it ends! :)

[Me Love Lost]

TashGaia
Same with me i now call wednsday Lostday.

Another one is when you feel sick during an episode you get so exited.

[Brian]

You know you've watched too much LOST when you actually consider building your own trebuchet, ya know, cause it looked so easy. :)

[obsessedlostfan]

You wait for train at subway stop and its noise, shrill racket, and tremors cause you to run and hide..screaming..."Monster!!!!!!"

[Lost In His Eyes]

-You count down the days until you can buy the first season on DVD (Sept. 6 everybody!)

-You have a dream that starts out as a Lost dream, with everyone on the beach, and then it morphs into a Lord of the Rings dream, with character from both, all running through the jungle... it was wierd...

-You wish Jack was your doctor! (Oh, do I ever!)

-You have pictures of Jack and Sawyer hanging on your mirror, so you can see them even when it's not Lostday!

[Brian]

You know you've watched too much LOST when you're watching a NA$CAR race and relate the car numbers, and thereby the drivers, to the numbers.

4 - Mike Wallace
8 - Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
15 - Michael Waltrip
16 - Greg Biffle
23 - Mike Skinner
42 - Jamie McMurray

See, it's all a conspiracy. Even NA$CAR isn't immune from the effects of LOST!

Sorry, I couldn't resist! :lol

[mystjade]

When your Costco supplies come in a box with the word foxy printed on it and you think: Foxy = Mathew Fox = Jack, and Hurley owned a box factory, so there is yet another connection.

*Hides Head in Shame*

[Brian]

mystjade,
*Hides Head in Shame*

Nothing to hide about with that one! I thought that was pretty linear thinking! I would have most likely done the same thing! :)

[TallHobbit]

You think that not being able to watch the season finale live on Wednesday should be considered cruel and unusual punishment.

You've contacted the UN about the aforementioned problem.

[HMHauler]

When you beg off from seeing the doctor on account of your insurance "running out."

[Brian]

I loved this thread so I'm bumping it by adding;

You know you've watched too much LOST when.... you're waiting for someone to screen cap the opening scene from Disc 5 of the DVDs so you can use it for a desktop image. ;)

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

You've started calling everyone brother, and you tell your meatloaf at dinner that you will see it in another life right before you eat it.

[karengotlost]

you have a dream about it

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

a dream involving a new storyline, that you now really want to see happen on the show.

[Brian]

And all this time I thought that LOST had only infiltrated my dream world. Well, OK, not all of LOST, just mainly Kate, shower scene Kate, and sweaty Kate! :lol

[LostOnOahu16]

When your Costco supplies come in a box with the word foxy printed on it and you think: Foxy = Mathew Fox = Jack, and Hurley owned a box factory, so there is yet another connection.

Omg, I've done that too. That's the first thing I thought when I got one of those boxes...weird.

...When your mom is talking about how sick your dog is and all you can think about is getting a yellow lab after it kicks the bucket...It was a thought, I wouldn't actually want that to happen!

...Trying to get your dog, who is 7, to try and all of a sudden start responding to Vincent...tried it just for fun...didn't work, surprisingly. :lol

[musical geek]

You know you've watch too much "Lost" when... you can recite the wrods to certain episodes and know how they react. Also, when your jersey's get in for your basketball team and you want either: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, or 42 as your number! And you know what episode to look for a certain scene, by the name! *looks back at her Lost re-run life* Man, that is truly sad...

you go through physical withdraw in repeats doldrums

[EGlVM]

You look at the clock and realise there are only 20 minutes left of Lost and you panic.
Guilty. haha
...You start tapping your fingers as if you need a fix.
Guilty again.
...You put tape on your fingers.
People kept asking me what happened to my fingers. haha
...You get into a fight with your daughter over who is hotter, Sawyer or Josh Holloway.
Are you serious! Hahaha! Love it.
I've had some Lost dreams too...I was on the island looking for a friend. I ate a strange berry then turned into a dinosaur...yeah, it was one of those nights.
That's pretty wierd. But I had a dream that Sawyer was a bum in my home town. haha
You mix a peanut butter like substance with some tropical plant extracts, hit yourself on the back of the head, and then paste the mixture onto your wound and go about your day.When your teacher asks you why you didn't do your homework, you say it doesn't matter, since she's a hallucination.
OMG! That's friggin hilarious!
When Lost is on and the phone rings you yell at the box, "Stop calling! Lost is on! Doesn't anyone have ANY consideration these days!? SHEESH!"
I've said similar. I yelled, "BUGGER OFF!!!!!"
When you name a pet after a character on Lost.
Guilty. I named my rabbit Sawyer. He gives me kisses. haha
When you go up to random people with your most serious face and say, "I remember peanut butter." <--- This is so much fun!!!
Oh god, I wouldn't be able o keep a straight face haha.
Your little sister, who has never watched the show, plays Lost with her barbies.
Are you serious? haha
someone messes up at work and you mutter, "Artz goes boom." and no one gets what you mean.
Oh man, I'm so gonna do that one day. haha
You wait for the train at the subway stop and its noise, shrill racket and tremors cause you to run and hide screaming, "Monster!!!!"
:rollin I laughed for 5 minutes straight!:rollin
When your Mom is talking about how sick your dog is and all you can think about is how you want to get a white lab after it kicks the bucket
OMG! It kills me when someone says "kick the bucket" :rollin


At every commercial I start shaking with anticipation to when Lost is gonna start again and I'll have to press record.

[Master Xander]

...in daily conversations, when someone even just CASUALLY mentions the word "lost" (like "our team lost" or "i lost my pen" or "i feel lost in the conversation"), everyone looks at you.

Seriously. Everytime the word "lost" is mentioned in passing, I get a tap on the shoulder and they say, "hey, LOST!"

Also...

...after getting the DVD set, you start to practically force your friends to watch the whole series in one sitting. And they like it.

I've converted seven people to the Lost cause now. Mwahahaha.

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

You know you watch too much LOST after you are thrown out of the zoo for picking fights with the polar bears and boars.

Two zookeepers are holding you back as you foam from the mouth screaming "That was for Sawyer, bitches!"

[Pixie Doll]

You and your roommate 'play dead' in your dorm room at 7:55 until your RA gives up knocking and leaves. (That mandatory hall meeting didn't sound that important anyway...)

I am sooo guilty of doing that last year. I turned down the volume on my tv and played it like I was asleep.

When the power goes off for some unknown reason at 7:50 and you go to the Circuit City up the street to watch "Lost" on their TV's....

^:rollin

I have to say, in the pilot episode when they looked out into the jungle and they saw the trees being torn down and heard the "monster" it reminded me SO MUCH of The Langoliers!!

I thought that too! I at first thought they were totally ripping off the Langoliers. LOL.

You look at the clock during a commercial and realize there are only 20 minutes of LOST left and you panic!!!

It is the most depressing feeling in the world!

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

your eye start to bleed

(don't you hate a literalist?)

[I Like Freckles]

You know you've watched too much Lost when:

You stop trusting TiVo to record the first 20 minutes of the episode while you wait to accumulate enough time on the hard drive to be able to fast forward through the commercials.

I can actually have checked the "To Do" list ahead of time and see the red light come on at 9:00 and still feel like I have to turn on the TV and visually verify that it's recording.

There is not a single other show that even begins to raise this level of neurosis.

[musical geek]

You know you've watched too much "Lost" when...you hear one of the teacher's name over the intercom, "Mr. Sawyer, please dial 0!" and you think of Josh Holloway!

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

I knew I watched Lost too much when my friend and I were found floating on the exploded remnants of our raft. The police sure weren't happy with how bad we messed up that fountain in the park.

Maybe that wasn't too much LOST.

Just too much gin.

[Brian]

I do what I can.

Hey! That's my tag line! :lol :rollin Sorry, I'm in one of "those" moods tonight. Feel free to use it whenever and wherever. As if you needed me to tell you that.

Maybe that wasn't too much LOST.

Just too much gin.

^ Sigh, I have a problem.

[LostOnOahu16]

At every commercial I start shaking with anticipation to when Lost is gonna start again and I'll have to press record.
Hey, that sounds familiar! :lol

When you live in Hawaii, like me, and you can't leave the house without bringing a camera, at least three pens (ya know, in case the first two brand new pens run out of ink), and every piece of Lost merchandise you own in case you stumble into one of the cast somewhere. Seriously, I keep having to buy bigger and bigger purses to fit all of it.

[ClaireAndCharlie]

Okay, this one isn't really one, but I thought I'd make this known:

My grandfather is at an assissted living complex, and I was wheeling through the hallways so he could look around and meet everyone else. All the patient's names are on the doors, and one said Jorge Garcia! I had to resist a major urge to run in there..;) But anyway, it was weird!

[Dallard]

You know you have watched to much LOST when someone mention the name Charlie and you get sick. :x
When you see a jar of peanut butter and you roll your eyes.
When you see a statue of the Virgin Mary and you wonder what's really stuffed inside.
When take your car to the shop and the machanic tells you the Drive Shaft is broken and you need a new one and you refuse it. You'd rather buy a new car than have to pay for a new Drive Shaft.
When you wont even think about eating cabbage ever again.

and the list goes on......

[scottq74]

Every time the phone rings you think it's Jesus with your new car.

Now THAT was funny!!!!:rollin


You know you've watched too much LOST when you start trying to figure out what personalized license plates would be nice to have on your car... and you start to really envy the lucky son of a gun who has "LOST 815" as their license plates.

[Crandyman]

You know you've watched to much Lost when...


You check the Lost-TV.com message board first thing in the morning even though you have to pee real bad but you want to find out what people were talking about while you slept on the east coast because you actually consider the boards as the "NEWSPAPER!"

[EGlVM]

Hey! That sounds familiar!:lol
Oh good, haha:lol

[Brian]

OK, so first Mary had me with "Badger, badger, badger, badger...." but now you've taken the badger's place with:
"That was for Sawyer, bitches!"

:rollin You do realize that might end up in someone's sig, don't you MLHTY? Probably mine (I'd never do it without asking first) but I've kept the desire to do so under control to date.

It's the greatest catch-all statement yet! "Hey, did you take my stapler?" "That was for Sawyer, bitches!" :) It works everywhere, I know, I've been using it all day! :lol

That's the greatest line I've heard to date. I smell an award coming for "Best Tag Line"!

Sorry for threadjacking, I just had to say it. :)

[Brian]

You check the Lost-TV.com message board first thing in the morning even though you have to pee real bad but you want to find out what people were talking about while you slept on the east coast because you actually consider the boards as the "NEWSPAPER!"

[16L43]

One of the roads in my patrol area is named "Lost Road" and on Halloween there was a report of someone in a pirates costume chasing another person wearing a bald "wig". Nothing serious, just a couple 20 something's having a good time...

(They're both fans of the show something I found funny. We spent ten minutes talking about season 2 and I let them know about this place...)

[merry slug]

You've switched your home desktop picture from that sexy stud-muffin to Jorge Garcia.

You get a gag birthday card of a naked man holding a cake in a strategic place, and you're still thinking, "But it's not Sawyer!!"

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

Leuth, you have permission to use the line. I'm just glad you like it so much.

[EGlVM]

^ Oo!! Can I use it too!?

[jamiept]

you are making a presentation in a New Hire Class and you put in references to the numbers and no one gets it...and you can't for the life of you figure it out...

Also I am in the process of setting up a message board at work, and no one on the team could understand why I wanted to give a proze to the 108th poster...

People that aren't obsessed over LOST need to get real and get a life.....(that does't sound right...hmmm..never mind)

Happy TGILD!!!

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

As far as I am concerned, anyone can use it, because I posted it for all to see. I would just like to see credit given where credit is due. :D

you put in references to the numbers and no one gets it...and you can't for the life of you figure it out...

[merry slug]

zombiedave, I love your signature, but what on earth is that big pink thing hanging over Shannon???

YKYWTMLW - you understand just about every reference in zombiedave's signature

[Magical Trevor]

That pink thing is a Rimbaldi device, from Alias, tying into theories that the two shows are related. BTW, you know you've watched too much Lost when you cant watch another tv show without thinking that somehow its related to Lost (I've done it with Buffy, Alias, even stuff like Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid).

[Issek]

I was at a birthday party a couple of nights ago and one of the guys there was wearing a T-shirt with HURLEY written on it in fairly small capital letters. Naturally that (the shirt) caught my eye, so I moved closer to see if it had anything to do with LOST. Eventually I was able to make out some very faint lettering underneath “Hurley.” The shirt, in its entirety, read:

HURLEY
International Freedom Company

Still intrigued, I did what I'm sure you would have done and googled those words when I got home and found:

this (http://www.hansensurf.com/Hurley-Clothing.html?cat=341&cat=341)


I think I have to cut down on how much time I spend reading this board, because the first thing I thought of (and some of you are thinking the same thing, aren’t you?) was:

“Aha, Hansen, an obviously Danish name, is a thinly disguised derivative of Hanso! What in the world is their connection with Hurley? I must think of a theory!!”

I’m still working on the theory, but I’m starting to question my grip on reality. What has this program done to me!
;)

[LostInWilderness]

I think Goodwin was wearing that shirt.

When your 5 year old see a puff of exhuast from a coal truck and yells "Hey, it's the monster from Lost"

When you convince your husband that you should go to Oahu next year instead of Alaska but then won't make arrangements until you find out for certian when Lost will be filming

When your husband says something and you don't hear him and you respond with "What's that, Sawyer?"

When you rush onto Amazon right after an episode to order whatever book was referenced on the show.

When let your hair go for a few days without washing it just to see if you'd still be hot on the island

[LostIllusion199]

You start giving people special nicknames. Or call them "sweetheart" or "sassafrass"

[dreamfall]

you know you've watch too much "Lost" when...

you buy t-shirts from lost-enterprises, which isn't affilated with the show at all, just because they have the word 'Lost' on them.

...And you wear them on Wednesdays

...And you plan to spend about half of your pay check to buy the other designs.


Or, when you tell your parents that, for Christmas, you want "anything lost"

Or, you're going to take down your Finding Nemo poster and put up a collage of 'Lost' things.

...But you consider not taking down the Finding Nemo poster because Finding Nemo has been referenced in Lost. So instead, you're going to take down two other, smaller posters - that way you can put the collage there. But first you have to get your dad to move down your bulletin board so the collage can go on top.

...And then you think, 'Maybe I could take down both the Finding Nemo poster and the other two, and dedicate half of my wall to Lost"


And, you made an account on cafepress.com just so you can make your own Lost t-shirts.

-You've already planned out your bamboo house in your head. (just in case you ever get stranded on lost island)
- you watched prison break and when Abruzzi was staring at the blood stain on his cell wall..you tried to see if it was in the shape of the Dharma symbol.
-you even turned your head all the way upside down to do this
-you're still not really sure if there is such a thing as a real band named Drive Shaft..or if they ever actually released a song called ''you all everybody''.
-you used to yell at your sister because she was missing too much work and was in danger of losing her job.. now you encourage her to stay home on Wednesdays because she is the only one who is as insane about Lost as you are.
-you start warning your family at about 7 am on Wednesday mornings NOt to touch the vcr that night, not to talk to you, not to answer the phone, not to come in the room your are in, that hubby has to put the kid to bed, dinner will be at 3 pm to make sure it's over in time, that your kid wont be allowed to watch the scenes for next week on America's top model because for some reason Lost sometimes starts at 8:59, and you need to turn the channel immediately after they announce who's going home and she isnt to talk to you she is to immediately exit the room and close the door.
-when you dont channel surf during commercials in case you dont turn it back in time.
-you are actually disgusted with family members who refuse to watch Lost.
-you actually thought about watching the Tony Danza show so you could win the trip to the set of Lost
-you're too scared to play the numbers 4,8,15,16,23,and 42 in lotto
-you turn off all the lights in your room, and sit on the edge of your bed (closest to the tv) with your remote in hand for the entire show (in case you need to adjust the volume and so no one tries to take it)
-you actually banish your loving pets from this room during lost so they dont jump on the bed and accidentally step on the remote
-you check the tv guide channel 6 or 7 times in the last 1/2 hour before the show to make sure it's still coming on and what channel
-you plan on buying your hubby a green and a white wifebeater for Christmas.

When you actually have a dream in which you are one of the characters...

I do this all the time. Sawyer is always my boyfriend, and sometimes I put the moves on Jack or Sayid too out of boredom. Lately Shannon and Boone are back and Shannon is trying to get Boone to shower with her. He thinks it is a come on but actually the shower is a porthole into a safe part of the island. She cant tell him that though, she has to coax him into the shower. Last nights dream involved 6 of the redshirts building a large green light beam out of spare plane parts and hatch appliances. I thought it was a rescue signal, but actually it was some kind of contraption to morph them into the power rangers.

[Aaron's Mum]

Subconciously, you give things in your life new names. My laundry chute is now "the hatch" and our weird neighbors are "the others". Yes, I am guilty of calling my dog "Vincent".

You spend less and less time with your family and friends, and visit your other favorite boards less frequently because those people that watch LOST just dont have a clue. It's like discussing politics with Kindergarteners...

[SareEru]

When you actually have a dream in which you are one of the characters...
GUILTY!

[SareEru]

When you panic all night Wednesday because you have bible study from 7 till 9 that night, and you spend the whole time praying your VCR doesn't crap out (again...). Then dance for joy when it doesn't/throw things when it does.
GUILTY, again!

[ILikeLostBrunettes]

I had a dream where SBSSG had a main speaking role with Claire. I dunno why, but I did.

[gardenboy]

When you book your annual Weds nite flight home for Thanksgiving to Thurs morning

[SanityAmongstChaos]

You realize that it is four steps between the outer door and inner door at work and eight more to the main hallway. The water fountain is fifteen steps down the main hall, and sixteen more steps bring you to the men's bathroom, from which it is twenty-three steps to the break room. It is only forty steps from the break room to your office (unless you count the step back and forward again as you open the door, in which case it is...42!)

You know you REALLY watch too much Lost when you see the looks on your coworkers faces as they see you counting your steps and making extra short or long steps as you near your markers so that the counts come out right. ;)

[SareEru]

You dread Thanksgiving because the 6 hour drive you are going on won't be over in time for LOST on Wednesday night. Then you get depressed because you won't be have access iTunes to download the latest episode. And since you won't be home until Sunday, you will have to agonize for 4 days over what happened.

[wishiwaslost]

GUILTY!!! LOL I also have a neighbor who makes all sorts of strange, unidentifiable noises and I have started to refer to her as the "Lost Monster" lol. I don't have a dog but I recently bought a fish that looks like a mini shark and I named it "Dharma Shark" LOL OOOhhh yeah....plus I named one of the other fish i got Locke because it started pushing the little rocks on the bottom around and I told people that he was looking for a hatch LMAO im weird lol :rotfl: :shhh:

[Alf]

You get absolutely no work done at work because you

How long have you had access to my thoughts? And if you do indeed have access to my thoughts I swear i was looking for nude Josh Holloway pictures for educational purposes only!

[Evilton]

You want to hop on a plane hopping it might go down on an inland.

[NokomisIsABadRobot]

Oh, just about since I met this nice couple named Mr. and Mrs. Degroat. They invited me to their lab and there I got to hook some cool nobs to my head. Then they turned on this machine that made a whirling noise...
next thing I knew I was on this island. There I met another nice group of people called the awthurs. The let me live in their cool 70's pad underground for a few years. I had plenty of tapes to watch. Including the one about you. I understand that you need those nekkid Sawyer pictures for research... but if you'll just (stare at this will you...:wizard: )get on Articania flight 108 on Tuesday Feb. 30th 2006... :hypnotize

I promise you'll get to meet him in person. :mischievo

[Melly]

I am a long time lurker first time poster, so if i stuff up i am sorry :)

I think that there may have been a previous post on this but i cannot find it.

I am in Australia and we have just gotten the Season 1 dvd here so i have watched as much as i can in my free time.

I just thought that i would share my story and hear others on things you have done that relate to the show that make you think you have spent too long watching.

I bank online and noticed that one of my accounts was missing so i ring the bank and the lady that helps me fixes the problem then tells me i have a restriction on my account. Apparently it says i cannot transfer any money out of my account to others accounts. I have been doing this since day one, so i inform her it must be a computer error on her side and just check my account to see all the transfers i have done.

After 5 mins of arguing she tells me that i cannot do it and i do not know what i am talking about, my response "don't tell me what i can't do". Then it hits me OMG i am quoting John Locke.... i have not watched any more lost today.

What have you done that makes you think you are a little Lost on Lost ?

[happywhaleproductions]

There is a guy that I always see at the mall who looks exactly like Hurley. I saw him buying a lottery ticket and I was silly enough to make a crack about the numbers. Guy obviously had no idea what I was talking about, looked at me strangely and continues to do so whenever he sees me. I feel more then a little lost, but the guy continues to intrigue me. Oh, I am such a stalker ;)

[salem2005]

What have you done that makes you think you are a little Lost on Lost ?

If I am working online in my computer room at home and someone calls me and asks what I'm doing I often respond: "I'm in the hatch."

Or, when giving directions to a friend on how to get to my house, after each line of direction I added something like: "Coming from your side of the island, drive East....Turn right at the Black Rock....make a quick left near the Fuselage to avoid the Dark Territory...when you reach the stop sign, look for Walt hiding in the bushes....we are the fifth house on the left, but if you hear strange whispering voices coming from this area...turn around and run for your life!"

[juanbong]

people at work ask you if the server is back up so they can either post or look up theories on the lost board and all I do is see if the server is back up so I can post.

[Mr. Cluck]

...Every time you hear a set of numbers, you try to relate them to 4 8 15 16 23 42.

Woah. I just realized that there are 22 pages for this, so if I accidently named a repeat, sorry about that!

[Mr. Cluck]

...You are offended when an outsider thinks Lost is like Survivor.

[Mr. Cluck]

...Even your friends who are Lost fans think you have too much time on your hands.

[Mr. Cluck]

...You reminisce the part one of the pilot episode everytime you see a plane in the sky.

[RidersOnTheStorm]

You buy Watership Down just because you saw Sawyer reading it. And whenever someone asks you what it is about, you reply in your best Sawyer imitation "its about bunnies".

You actually use that Dharma computer programme (the one that requires you to input the numbers every 108 minutes).

Youve watched each episode more than three times each.

You never call anyone by there actual names anymore, but instead (just like Sawyer) you make up witty nicknames for everyone.

And yes I am guilty of all of the above.

[Lost_RuNNeR]

You continously ask your math teacher about a certain series of cursed numbers...

you can't believe there are people that don't watch the show and will spend much time convincing them that they must...

[ccmerlot]

...you meet someone new at work who is from Korea and named Ji, and, dammit, you keep calling him Jin...

[Darkscythe79]

when you walk around repeating the numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42 to yourself or looking for them to appear around you

[Lost_RuNNeR]

When you can't walk around in a forest at a normal pace...

When you smash every christian idol in your environment, just to see if 'there's a connection'...

[Mr. Cluck]

:rotfl: well put

You keep a wide berth of tan coloured cars.

mjgill85,

Your signature reminds me of Locke explaining the backgammon chips to Walt.

[Hodgepodge]

....You're heading home on Wednesday nights, and you notice people heading into this same church. You wonder, don't they know Lost is coming on tonight!

[1stGiraffe]

You make an excuse as to why your 6 year old has to leave church early every Wednesday night....and try to convince her it isn't the same as lying. Really it isn't.

[see you in the next life]

You arrive at the gated community where you live, attempt to enter the code so that the gate will open, and realize the code number is 108 (and has been for quite sometime).


How did I miss that for so long??????

[azteclady]

when you live in a different country from all your blood relatives, yet after hearing you discuss LOST minutiae for a year, they order the first season DVDs.

when you sit down with your 13 yo daughter to watch the first season DVDs pretty much in one sitting, pointing out what few (and I do mean few, that girl is many times more observant than I am!) things she misses on the first pass.

[A Lost Cause]

You know you're obsessed with Lost when...

~You greet people by saying "You all everybody!" in an extremly high voice and say goodbye as "Have a cluckety cluck cluck day!"

~You have started eating mangos and are currently looking for a place that sells bore.

~You asked for a plane ticket to Hawaii for Christmas

~You can't function properly between new episodes

~When Lost starts, you lock the doors, unplug the phone and turn every tv in your house to ABC.

~You confuse the mayflower with "The black rock"

~ Whenever you enter a lost forum you squee so loud that the neigbors come over to see whats wrong.

~You rewatched the Sawyer/kate kiss untill the rewind buton fell off. (I got in big trouble for that one.)

~Your friends and family always make sure you get home in time for lost because they know if you don't you will probably hurt yourself in a strange attempt to connect your brainwaves to the cable so you can see the episode in your head.

Guilty of all of the above^^

[ExaltedSin50]

...When at an airplane terminal waiting for your plane, you make friends with anyone in a wheelchair. For they surely will heal if the plane were to catch and become hunters. Meaning you'll get first dibs on all boar he/she catches. And you'll be the first to know about any hidden hatches your new friend will find.

...When you're scared to get into a friend's car when the parking space number is '815'. (Happened to me. :( )

...If the plane you are on is going down, you have to try to act scared, when deep inside you're extremely happy because you will get the chance to have your backstory explained.

...You automatically seach for the 'numbers' on everyday items. (Guilty.)

...The Dharma Logo is in all the games you play because you customized them to do so. (Guilty...Animal Crossing. Mario Kart. Tony Hawk American Wasteland. Counter-Strike.)

[The numbers made me do it]

When you see a news story like the one below and your first thought is, What would Artz would think?

http://www.msnbc.com/comics/nw.asp (http://www.msnbc.com/comics/nw.asp)

Latest Truck Spills
(1) "Hundreds" of Krispy Kreme doughnuts onto Vineville Avenue in Macon, Ga., in September, when a delivery truck overturned to avoid a dog. (2) 30,000 pieces of mail to IRS (mostly estimated-tax payments) into San Francisco Bay in September when a truck was involved in a collision on the San Mateo Bridge. (3) 35 tons of cooking oil onto already-icy Interstate 65 near Lowell, Ind., in November when a tanker overturned. (4) And just hours apart in June in Ohio, one truck overturned, spilling 19 tons of stick dynamite on Interstate 70 near Summerford (forcing nearby evacuations) and another carrying 16 tons of toilets overturned on Interstate 275 near Sharonville. [Macon Telegraph, 9-15-05] [Pacific Business News, 9-21-05] [WBBM-TV (Chicago), 11-16-05] [Columbus Dispatch, 6-21-05] [WLWT-TV (Cincinnati), 6-21-05]

Can't understand why 1 truck would be carrying that much dynamite.
Bet that drivers life flashed before his eyes a few times. Can't imagine being the team that had to clean up that mess.

You know you've watched too much Lost when your Buffy dvd box sets have dust on them (I feel a marathon coming on...)

~You can't function properly between new episodes


I can't function properly on the Wednesday of a new episode. Time needs to go by and work needs to end so it can be 9:00 already!!!

[A Lost Cause]

I can't function properly on the Wednesday of a new episode. Time needs to go by and work needs to end so it can be 9:00 already!!!lol! I can't function properly at any time unless Lost is actually on.

[redneck once removed]

you end up looking up at the clock on the vcr 5 minutes before the end and get that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach knowing that you'll have to wait another week to get your fix of Lost!

guilty. my friends and i start checking the time at the 2nd to last commercial break

[JediArturo]

You tag line every smart ass remark with "Papi".

[DeGroot_Of_All_Evil]

You like to pretend you're on an island, but you just happen to eat 3 meals a day.

[pandorasbox]

lol... nice one

[dreamfall]

...You saw that, on Jimmy Kimmel's talk show, he has his own hatch on the set. You now want one of your own.

You plan to put Lost items/merchandise inside, and invite friends to it for sleepovers.

[Lab]

......you have made a CD of music that appears on Lost.....it stays on repeat in your car.......and you have laerned the French words to La Mer and sing along at high volume while passing motorists stare at you in amazement...... or in the same playing, Bob Marleys Redemption Song, gives you the sudden burning urge to open the sunroof in 30 degree weather, so you can feel like your "setting sail"!


..........or as your own "scientific experiment", you plan to go 4 days straight simulating "pushing the button" every 108 minutes, failing miserably and oversleeping a button push on the 3rd day, unfortunately, causing an "incident" and the end of the world!

[RidersOnTheStorm]

[villana81]

I knew I've watched too much Lost when I traveled two months ago and my plane seat was 23B, I was so exciting because I think that was Jack's seat or the one next to him, either way I was telling my sister "look, look, I got Jack's seat":D

[Gilgamesh]

Flying earlier this month, I got AL's seat, #42. Creeped me out.

You know you've watched too much LOST when you received the DVD set for Christmas and you've already racked up more than 5 hours of viewing since Sunday. I only get about 20 minutes at home during lunch and today I went right for Confidence Man. Nothing beats a little Sawyer for lunch!

[Dorkfish]

you call all of your Korean friends "Chewie" :p
