DISCLAIMER- I don't own FFVII. There, that was easy!

AEEEERIIIISSSS!!! NOOOOO!!!
'K, so I've just finished disc 1 (as you may have guessed) and though I've read a few of these for FFVIII, I found myself actually doing No1. at 10:00 on a Monday morning, so I thought hmmm...

Oh yeah, and NO 32's dedicated to Casper, the handophobic Destiny's Child fan Budgie.

DISC 1 OVERDOSE:

PROBABLE CAUSES

Long term exposure to FFVII
Too many fanfics at 11pm
Merchandise hunting in the strangest of places where you know you haven't got a chance in hell of finding any (e.g. Kwiksave) but you look anyway
Internet sites on the subject
Pictures of Sephiroth in Nibeliem (Also known to provoke sword carrying arsonists)
15 Review magazines and a bag of Cola Cubes

KNOWN SYMPTOMS

1. Boiling a kettle is swiftly followed by a cry of "SHERA, GET THESE PEOPLE SOME GODDAMN TEA!!!"

3. ... and find her cos your mates stick a pic of her to a tree with a drawing pin as a joke
4. You believe Black Materia really exists...
5. ... and prove it by buying 15 packets of Black Jacks, squashing them together and hold your arm in the air, screaming "I WILL BECOME ONE WITH THE PLANET!!!"...
6. ... then wonder if Sephiroth smells of Aniseed too...
7. You giggle idiotically whenever you have a Chem test on Alcohols, Ethers and Esters...
8. ... then moan when your teacher fails you, even though you example of raising Red XIII's MP with 3 Ethers was spot on...

20. You believe every pinball machine leads to a secret underground resistance base

30. You go to Spain, visit the (real) Costa Del Sol and scour the beach for 6hrs to get Hojo's autograph

32. You try to ride your pet Budgie to school and back, claiming it's the "Fastest kind of travel today, y'know!" (opps, bit of FFVIII there...)
33. ... then rename your Budgie Dario and complain when they won't let you enter the Grand National...
34. ... but you run anyway...
35. ... and win
36. You use various FFVII references in your library database for ICT, such as "Chocobo, a bird's eye view" by Sephiroth, or "Why crossover's don't work" by Aeris Trepe, both published by Shinra Bookstores (uh-oh...)

40. You're forever scaning the ceiling for a black caped man
And finally...
41. Your girlfriend dies, so you go Snowboarding.


And the cure?

THERE ISN'T ONE!!!

That's right! They don't hand out anti FFVII pills at the pharmacist and it's impossible to get boredom on prescription (though I hear a copy of Barbie's skate park, that crappy Olsen twins game or Grand Theft Auto has the same effect), and just not playing the game results in withdrawal, so your best bet's to fuel the fire and just play the goddamn game! Whoo-hoo! Plus a little bit of insanity is good for you!

Insanity- Unsinkable, unstopable, incomprehensible and Uncontrollable!
