...you get all your Gerry Anderson stuff (including posters) which is everywhere hidden in a closet while your friend comes over.
...you try to download the first NCS episode on Dial-Up.

You use the names of bosses, childhood enemies, etc. as the names of Mysterons in your fanfic...

"Mum, do you know what this is? Red Fanta...all part of the celebrations leading up to Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet, premiering March 6"
You know you're obsessed when you convince your dad to buy a $150 set top box so you can view NCS, and then watching ABC2 for a few hours, trying to get a glimpse of trailers....

Every New Year's Day there is a big parade in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, USA) called the Mummers Parade. In it are clowns, homemade fancy costumes and groups of musicians playing nothing but string and reed instruments.

A few years ago I noted that one of the String Band captains was named James Magenta. Of course through all the ostrich plumes and makeup

* I've spent a good while totting up how many people I know with names featured in CS (and NCS too). Do actually know a girl named Harmony.
* I also seriously do think Symphony, Rhapsody etc are very pretty names and see no reason not to bestow them on future daughters.
* You consider yourself some kind of CS ambassaor and have talked several forum friends into researching the show.
* You've also launched into unprompted explanations of the show when other friends have made the mistake of admitting they like the name Scarlet.
* You sit there with tears streaming down your face because you've decided to kill off a canon character in your fanfic. Even though the rational part of your brain is insisting 'they're just puppets!'
* You've stopped listening to that part of your brain.
* You start reading way too much into the subtexts and become convinced the mysterons are actually a metaphor for communism or something. [thank you psychoanalysis lectuers]

And I must say that I do find the CS world more interesting than ours... I can get too 'absorbed' into CS and 'lose touch' with the real world. Just thought I'd share that with you all.
I have THREE crushes (in CS) and they've not gone away... Capt. Black, Blue & Scarlet. Does that mean I'm mad???...
that's madness with a little 'm'... as in 'crazy'...

I alternate between Blue, Grey and Ochre ... depending on my mood.
The thing for Blue's been going since I was eight. The others are a bit more recent.

You actually have a crush on Capt. Black??


Oh well, I guess he's not such a bad guy.......for a villain! *bracing for some boos & hisses!*
He's isn't too bad looking either. (When he's wearing his black leather jacket & shades.)
