You Know You're Obsessed with The Hunger Games When…
-You had to get Catching Fire the VERY FIRST DAY it was out. Even if the nearest bookstore was an hour away.
-If you couldn't find the book in the store and began to think that maybe they didn't have it, you started to freak out. (Extra points if the salesperson noticed.)
-Upon purchasing this book, you simply stared at it for a while and smiled, savoring the fact that you finally had it.
-You couldn't stare at it for that long, though, because you just had to read it and see if any of your many theories were right.
-Whenever any of your theories was proven right, you pointed at the book and shouted "I KNEW IT!" even if you were still in the bookstore.
-Dilemma: Read CF slowly, so you don't have to wait as long for Book 3, or read it quickly for immediate gratification?
-When you finished Catching Fire and realized that you would have to wait a whole YEAR for the sequel, you nearly cried.
-You've figured out the type of music that would be played during the Games (and the highlights).
-On a hike/camping trip/outdoor excursion, you find yourself thinking about what wherever you are would be like as an arena.
-Reality TV creeps you out. Especially survival-type stuff (MAN VS. WILD…)
-You've thought about learning archery, just in case.
-The real question isn't "Edward or Jacob?", but "Peeta or Gale?".
-If you're at one of those obstacle-course-in-the-trees adventure thingies, you don't "find your inner monkey". You find your inner RUE.
-The first time you saw a poster for the movie "District 9", you ran over thinking it was going to have something to do with THG. (But nope. It's about aliens. And they're not even in Panem.)
-You see something mentioning "District 11" (of something completely unrelated to THG) and your first thought is "FARMING! RUE! THRESH! HUNGER GAMES!"
-You immediately notice when a name sounds like something from the books. (Perhaps a jewelry collection called the "Effy" collection? No joke.)
-Similarly, you immediately notice if something (or someone) looks like a description from the books. (Like an advertisement for crazy colored hair dye. It came in bright blue, bubblegum pink, everything, and was so Capitol-like it was creepy.)
If any of these sound familiar, then there's nothing to do but go read The Hunger Games or Catching Fire as soon as you can.
