Okay, it's now official. I've become infected with the sickness known as GWOD--Gundam Wing Obsessive Disorder. Warning signs for this dread sickness:
1.) You tape every single episode--both the cut and uncut versions of the show.
2.) You start scouring the internet for every single picture you can find (especially of Duo, leading to a separate illness, DMOD or Duo Maxwell Obsessive Disorder) and save them to your computer.
3.) You relentlessly search for fan fiction for GW to read.
4.) You begin writing your own Gundam Wing fan fiction to satisfy your cravings.
5.) You start scouring ebay and online bookstores for Gundam Wing doujinishi and buy them for unreal prices.
6.)You own all 49 episodes (after having taped them) and still buy the first four episodes when they come out on video.
7.) You leap on anything concerning GW that you can find such as CDS and books (which you can't read 'cause they're in Japanese) despite the fact that they're expensive and you have bills to pay.
8.) You dissect each and every nuance of plot for meanings and chat endlessly about it, driving your roommates and non-GW fan friends to distraction.
9.) You make your own Duo wallpaper for your computer.
10.) You come up with 9 other obsessive traits.:)
These are just a few of the warning signs. If you are exhibiting any of these signs ... well, you're pretty much doomed like the rest of us. The best you can do is just go with it and hope that Duo never cuts his hair.;)
