You know that you're� obsessed �when...
I stole the idea for the list from others, but this list is mine, so again, please don't sue!

• Whenever you get a serve over in volleyball you flex a muscle and say 'I am the Winecask'!

• At your friends Sweet Sixteen she plays Les Miz songs and you sing along to all of them very loudly, and all of her relatives look at you, and you still do not stop singing, and then when the Confrontation comes on you do both parts because your friend is stupid and cannot remember Valjean's lines!

• You wish you could travel back in time and tell them not to waste their lives.

• You make plans to build a time machine so you can do just that.

• You try to teach your friend about the Les Miz 'Quote of the Day' and 'Ami of the day', though she doesn't really get into it.

• You plan to be Javert for Halloween (even though you're a girl) and you are looking everywhere for fake sideburns!

• You write little notes to your friends containing Les Miz quotes and pictures and keep all of them. (One day we'll have probably written down the whole musical)

• You tell your friends that they are only allowed to call you either 'Winecask' or 'Firebrand'

• You think that it would be really cool if there was a Les Miz matroshka ( I don't know how to spell it in english...), you know, those Russian nesting dolls? But then Valjean would probably be the biggest and then Javert and Fantine, then Marius, Cosette, Eponine and by the time they got to Enjolras he'd be as big as a dime! So maybe they should just have an 'Amis de l'ABC' matroshka, right?

• Every time you meet someone new you ask them if they like Les Miz and if they say no you avoid them.

• Whenever you wear red and black you sing 'Red the color of my shirt, Black the color of my skirt'

• Anyone that you meet who likes Les Miz is your new best friend.

• When you call someone 'Winecask' as an insult he just stares at you blankly and you are disgusted.

• You say 'In mercy's name' so much that your friends who don't even like Les Miz finish 'Three days are all I need'

• Whenever it rains you sing 'A Little Fall of Rain' and then you start thinking and in your twisted mind you think 'A little fall of rain could hurt you if it were acid rain' and you tell this to your friend and she tells you to get a life and you say no and you have an argument and then you are sad!

• You realize that your old intermediate school colors were red and black and you are really sad because you didn't become a cheerleader so that you could have an outfit in those colors! (But then you realize that you wouldn't have been very happy as a cheerleader, so you deal.)

• You love the song 'Lily's Eyes' because your two very favorite singers (Anthony Warlow and Philip Quast) sing it. TOGETHER!!!

• You get your chorus teacher to make the chorus sing 'Do you Hear the People Sing?' and 'I Dreamed a Dream' but then you ask him to not let them sing it anymore because they have no emotion. Oh, and they're all girls, and with really high voices. It just hurts to listen to them try to sing like the Amis, it just hurts...

• Someone at your school is Thenardier for Halloween and you just want to beat him into a pulp because of what he did to Fantine.

• You freak out when people who claim to like Les Miz don't know who Enjolras is and you try to give them an Enjolras-like glare and they just look at you like you're insane and then you tell them that Enjolras could have beat them up, but they don't listen and say he's not even real and then you go into a tirade about how there was an insurrection in 1832 after the death of General Lamarque and that Enjolras was most likely based on a real person named Jeanne and that both Jeanne and Enjolras could have beat them up!

• You have your binder (and your English journal, and your chorus folder and your chemistry book) all covered in Les Mis�rables pictures and quotes and whenever you look at the pictures or read the quotes you are happy and smile and people ask you what you are smiling about and you tell them and they call you weird and you fight (verbally, of course) and-Hey, maybe this is why I get into so many arguments!

• You have planned out a whole line of Les Miz action figures and playsets and you plan to have them made when you are rich.

• You get really mad when your World History teacher won't let you do a research paper on Enjolras and 1832 and makes you do Robespierre instead, can you believe the evil?

• When you find out that someone double-crossed you or someone you know you call them a lying-stinking-Javert.

• You make all of your English vocabulary sentences have to do with Les Miz (Javert made a hyperbole of Valjean�s crimes./The Friends of the ABC were a very esoteric group, for otherwise they would be arrested and tried for treason./Javert was a renegade of the revolution, for he truly only believed in the law and order of the world./etc.)

• You make a barricade out of your mashed potatoes at lunch and people look at you weird as you-Hey, more arguments!

• You get your hair curled and your friend laughs and says you look like Cosette and you take offense. (Poor Cosette, why can't we just like her for the nice girl she is?)

• You think 'Les Mis�rables' should win 8 Tonys every year.

• You go to your friends sweet sixteen and instead of dancing you make the cast of Les Miz using utensils and food (see pictures here ) This is me with Enjolknife isn't he the cutest!!! Look at that hair, it's like butter!

• You see 'The Sixth Sense' and all you can think about is how great Haley Joel Osment would be as Gavroche.�

• You watch a movie and assign all of the characters Les Miz personalities (Ex. X-Men~ Xavier is Valjean and Magneto is the best Javert. Oh, and that cute Cyclops for Enjolras and Wolverine as Grantaire (Though Cyclops should have been the hero of course))

• On June 5th/6th you wear red and black and put up posters around your school urging everyone else to do the same (and some actually do)

• On said June 5th/6th you sit in chorus with a substitute teacher and ask if anyone wants to build a barricade.

• You get really huffy when everyone says no (and even more so when they tell you to shut up when you start comparing Enjolras to Orestes).

• When your brother comes home from college and he doesn't know even who Javert is, you try to educate him in the story but all he gets from it is the bread. Then he goes downstairs to go eat some (my brother likes food and basketball, he can't help it) And you are disappointed and wonder how on earth you came from the same gene pool...

• You wonder why nobody has made an A&E autobiography of Enjolras.

• You use Javegg's dressed up in costumes to annoy people.

• When you're dressed up in red and black you feel like starting a revolution

• When your friend goes to Russia you ask her to look for Les Miz in Russian, cause that would be just so cool!

• You plan to name one of your children Enjolras (after his father...)

• While at summer college you meet someone who actually read Les Miz. You start discussing characters that she didn't like. Marius (of course), Cosette (very understandable), and then Enjolras. When she says that she hated Enjolras you make a very, very loud sound of horror and surprise and half of the cafeteria looks at you. Then the girl quietly excuses herself as you try to regain control.

• You draw Les Miz related things on your calculator. Contributed by Christine

• You and your friend 'draw' a song. Look closely at 'At The End of the Day' and you'll see pants, a doctor, a bed, a cat claw, etc. Drawn by Sophie and I

• When at a theater program, if you don't know the answer to a question but see that amused look on the questioners face, you know that the answer is Les Miz. Done to me by Tony!
