And also when…

101. You are planning to suggest points to add to this list.

102. You have already suggested points to add to this list. You know who you are.

103. Or you are the one writing this list. Damn. That means me, doesn't it?

104. You have a plushie named 'Kon'. You use it to practice your punching and hitting skills. Then you huggle it to sleep.

105. Aw, how cute. I'm sure that Kon enjoys that.

106. You are bugging (that's right- bugging) your mum to teach you to sew…like a Quincy.

107. Your mum isn't confused. Or surprised.

108. Or reacting at all. Oh dear, she appears to be ignoring you. Still pissed at the movie-screaming incident, I see.

109. The first thing you will make is a shinigami's outfit. Needless to say, you will only wear it once to see if it fits. After that, it will be part of your growing Bleach collection.

110. You are very proud of your Bleach collection. It contains over 100 Bleach related objects.

111. The next item you want is Urahara's bucket hat.

112. But you aren't going to buy a cosplay item from the Internet. You have to go one step further. You are going to a specialist hat maker, where you will request it to be made with the utmost care. In great detail. Not that there was much detail in the first place.

113. You enjoy cosplaying very much. You dress up as your favourite characters. All the time. This includes the full works: wigs, make-up, coloured contacts… (From Between the nightmares)

114. …clothes, swords, bells, hats, feathers…

115. And the reason? Because you can. (Between the nightmares- cheers!)

116. A fangirl squeals in delight.

117. You have started to repeat lines of your favourite characters when you are bored in a lecture class. Out loud. As if you were talking to an imaginary person. (Swiftstar)

118. As a result, you get stared at. (Swiftstar)

119. If this is you, and you also do the 'talking-in-my-head' thing, please consult a doctor. It is for the benefit of your mental health.

120. You have to mop your desk frequently because of drool when a chapter with your favourite character comes out. (Swiftstar)

121. People have started avoiding your desk. You briefly wonder why. Then you drool again.

122. Your friends have actually pointed it out and told you that it is disgusting. Needless to say, you didn't notice this. You were too busy drooling.

123. Your friends label you as even crazier than them. Even when they do the same over Naruto. (Swiftstar – thank you!)

124. Shudder. You have shuddered at the mention of Naruto. Of course, in your mind, nothing compares to Bleach.

125. NOTHING.

126. Yes, yes. I understand your plight to make Bleach the number one manga/anime. In the world.

127. Galaxy.

128. Universe.

129. Whatever.

130. You hiss at Naruto supporters as they pass you on the street. Those lousy, no-good idiots from that nasty tribe…

131. Well, you actually hiss at mostly everyone. Because they aren't wearing an 'I LOVE BLEACH' badge.

132. A 'BLEACH ROCKS MY WORLD AND YOURS TOO' badge would be acceptable too.

133. Or, even better, a 'YOU BETTER LOVE BLEACH OR I'LL KILL YOU' badge.

134. Every morning the first thing you see is the face of your favourite character – on a poster stuck on the ceiling above your head.

135. This also means that it's the last thing you see before you drift off into your Bleach-filled dreams, and the only thing you see when you converse with The Character before you do that.

136. You feel like The Character is protecting you, like a guardian angel, as you blissfully snooze away.

137. Your parents speak to you in Bleachenese (with a heavy foreign accent), as if you don't understand English, which you don't. Because you've forgotten it.

138. This includes your dad saying phrases like 'Clean up –Ichigo– your –Soul Society– room –Shikai.' (Pyrokatt. Thanks, it made me laugh!)

139. Completely meaningless! But it did catch your attention.

140. However for some reason, you remember the English language at important times like these, when you're reading or writing fan fiction.

141. Of course, Bleachenese or 'The Bleach Language' as it is otherwise called (another variation is 'The Language'), is not the only language you understand. There is one more.

142. 'What is it?' I hear you ask.

143. Well, you know it already. If you didn't, then you wouldn't be reading this right now, and the rest of us would probably hate your guts.

144. It's 'The Fangirl Language'. This is written as 'T3H FANGIRL LANGUAG3!' if you understand it. Which you do.

145. If you're a boy, then swap the 'girl/GIRL' to 'boy/BOY'. It's written in the same format, so you wouldn't have any trouble understanding it. And you DO understand it.

146. Your parents also try to communicate with you using this language. Often with no success. (The Fangirl Language idea is from Pyrokatt!)

147. You used The Anime/Manga as the theme for your Final Art Project. For a national exam.

148. This was when the topic word was 'wraps'. I'm not gonna bother asking. There's no connection between the two.

149. But somehow, it worked. At least for you, anyway.

150. Um…what mark did you get?
