entries!
You guessed it..... 3 pages!! I feel so loved! *sniff* thank you all!!
ON WITH THE SHOW!
Page 1| Page 2|Page 3|You know you watch too much
Mononoke when..
You insist that you make clicking
noises whenever you move your head.
Forget Pokemon. You want to
be the world's greatest Kodama champion! (It could happen..)
You find yourself drawing pictures
of Mononoke characters in your notebooks..
You want to find a wolf to be
able to ride around on. (No problems with getting around the halls in school,
ne?)
The coolest thing in the world
would be to have that part of hair Ashitaka cut off!
You room is adorned in Mononoke
items..
Including some from Japan..
That you dust and check regularly..
But that's the only thing you'll
clean in your room!
You want to find a coat like
Ashitaka's.
So you go out and steal a bail
of hay.
You get CAUGHT stealing the
bail of hay.
You try to explain to the police
that the hay is for a school sciene project.
Two words: Archery Class
You design a Halloween mask
like San's.
You want to make a trip to Japan
and work in a steel factory on the edge of a forest.
You're SURPRISED when you can't
find a steel factory run by anybody named "Eboshi".
You listen to the Mononoke CD every time you get the chance.
You insist that your birthday cake has a picture from Mononoke on it.. even though you're turning 16.
Since you can't find any cake decorator that can even pronounce "Mononoke", you design the cake yourself.
You ask your friend (who's in Japanese) what the ladies in the Tatara Women Work Song are actually saying.
On the day Mononoke comes out on video, you plan to go to every store until you find one that has it, buy it, kiss the first person you see, take it home, and invite all your friends over to have a Mononoke party.
You're about ready to kill BVHE for all the push-backs in the release date of the video.
You rent The Defender, Mission to Mars, or Alien Visitor JUST to see the Mononoke trailer.
You've decided that the song "Hungry like the wolf" is about Moro. (It's an 80's song)
You make your own Mononoke T-shirt since you can't find them in stores.
So now that the movie is out, you swear to buy TWO VHS's, because you fear you'll watch the first one so much it will wear out.
You wonder why there isn't a "Mononoke" video game.. (dude, I know I would buy it!!)
You work at a video rental store just so you can rent Mononoke every night for free.
You wonder if you can make an outfit like San's and wear it to Homecoming..
And you ask your date to the dance to dress up like Ashitaka..
And you know what? HE DOES IT!
You buy Mononoke on DVD before you even have a DVD player.
You still have your ticket stub from a year ago when you saw Mononoke in theaters. (I'm guilty of this one!)
You think they should make a second Mononoke movie about Ashitaka's life in Iorntown.
When going to buy a pet goldfish, you consider naming him Yakkul.
You do name him Yakkul. After all, he is kind of a reddish-orange...
You wonder if Katana will open more pages for this list or continue to keep it one long-arsed list.
As submitted respectfully
by Max Walrus:
You dress like San, especially
if you're a guy.
In your mind, everyone around
starts turning into Kodamas.
Your bedsheets and whatnot are
all Mononoke themed.
You make a Mononoke website
(eesh!)
You journey to Japan to quest
for the long lost species of Yakkul's.
the only sound your computer
makes is your favorite quote from the movie
(like: you open a
window "Disgusting little creatures..." close it
"disgusting little
creatures..." start windows... you get the point)
any time you see a Mononoke
product that you don't own, you have a heart
attack
You're reading this list.
You're actually concerned
about what you're reading on this list.
Your parents already send
you to a psychiatrist about it, and you say
"what's wrong with screwing
horns to our dog's head with common wood screws
and painting him red?"
From AmaterasuKami:
You walk cursing under your breath phrases like "Damn vile humans".
You decide you hate Miramax eternally for pushing the VHS release date back from June 13th.
You write hate letters to the Academy Awards for not at least nominating Princess Mononoke for Best Picture (Hey Roger Ebert put it on his Top 10).
From Hotaru:
You think that it would be the greatest thing if the video tape is released on your b-day (i know i do!).
You give up dibs on ALL of your other anime guys just for ashitaka because he owns a bow.
You insist on practicing archery more than 15 times a week.
You give up your fancy Hoyt designer bow for a stick and a piece of string and break all of your nice aluminum arrows, recycle them, and collect some more sticks to use as artillery.
Your parents punish you for the rest of your existence
but you don't care cuz now you can carry your bow around your neck
You used to like archery a lot, but now you're obsessed with it.
You sleep with your "new" bow.
You get splinters.
But still don't care cuz you can carry the bow around your neck and RUN! How cool is that?!?!?
You start getting your two fave animes confused. "In the name of the enchanted forest, I, Princess Sailor Mononoke Saturn, will punish you and cause an ugly blotch to grow on your arm!"
You whine at your parents because they couldn't find any Mononoke merchandise that is actually made in your size.
So you go and buy a few shirts made for 4 year olds and wear them in public every day.
You've been growing out your hair for 10 years, but figure "Hey, if Ashitaka can cut his off that quickly, why can't I?"
And you do. Just like that. Snip snip. Sheesh.
The most pathetic thing? You don't regret cutting it! You walk around flaunting it. And you're a girl!
