life has any meaning.
159.
When you
watch your most precious tapes (besides your alias tapes) - your figure skating
tapes - you fast forward the skating parts and watches to commercial parts. to

that knows you also knows that it's pointless to ask about your plans on Sun.
night...
161.
You start
wondering if life before Alias ever existed, but know that sometime you will be
able to amaze your kids with the phrase: "When I was your age there was no
Alias."
162.
the time
before Alias was a scary time, that will be known as the preAlias, or
preobsession time... or the "when i had a life" time...
163.
when all,
and i mean all you can think about is Alias
164.
when you
start scaring yourself with just how obsessed you are...
165.
ou won't
talk to your friends unless they tell you the password
166.
Vaughn
has completely ruined "real" men for you*
167.
*alternate
answer for guys: by acting like
Vaughn, you now have more dates than you can handle
168.
When
someone comes up to u and says "OMG! Ur
guy looked SO good the other night!" and u reply "No kidding!

We have
to have multiple threads to list how we can tell we're obssessed with Alias.
173.
ou get
angry because another member of SD-6 forums starts a new topic before you do
when you suggested it
174.

friends are all Alias fans

everyone to watch Alias, but you get angry when another MV fan is born... more
competition
178.
You've
listed so many reasons that you're running out...

"I feel homesick". What this really means is you haven't visited
SD-6.com in a while
180.
When you
are given a poetry assignment for class, the teacher aks you who MV, Sid,
Michael, and Will are.
181.
You are
suddenly suspicious of anyone you know named Anna (although not Anne)
182.
You start
referring to people who even look at MV as competition.
183.
You have
a difficult time talking to your non-Alias watcher friends, because you have
nothing to talk about.
184.
You see
the real CIA director on the news and think, "That's not Devlin, he's an
imposter." You seriously consider having an Alias party for the season
finale and invite all of your friends (especially the ones who don't watch Alias
but hear you talk about it almost every day) where there will be an all day
marathon of the entire season leading up to the finale so that way the people
invited will have at least a small idea as to what you've been obsessing over
for the last few months. (I would do it, but my mom wouldn't let me live to see
Season 2)
185.
You
already know who you're going to dress up like for Halloween - Sydney on a
mission with the "bozo hair" and all
186.
You got
your family hooked with the show, though it is not broadcasted in your
country... did that!!! I'm so proud.

a religion based on one of the main characters of the show...Vartanism

designs for a banner that will read "Vartan for President"
189.
You
design photos / sigs / t-shits designs based on characters in ALIAS (you know
who you are - this is a good thing)
190.
You
wish you initials were MV, SB, JG or SD
191.
You wish
that you had listened more in Latin class
192.
Your
sitting around and realise if u take this letter out of this characters name and
this one out of this name and so on it will spell your name!
Just to feel "connected" to the show (no, I've never done
this!)
193.
you start
doing projects based on the character or show or anything related to the
show...for example, i will be doing a french bio on MV
194.
You
seriously consider naming your future children Sydney or Michael.
195.
You wish
your name started with an S or M (M for 3 different people - Michael, Michael,
and Marshall!
196.
You say
hi to a picture of Alias characters on the wall each time you get home (not me)
197.

you could marry a character in the show (for me, Syd, for most of you, Michael,
of course!)
198.
You would
spend one year of 15 more min. of homework / night to get one hour with the cast
of Alias
199.
You just
went two over the number of items on the Top 10s you are supposed to have in
each post
200.
You know
that you're obsessed, so obsessed that you're not only scaring everyone else...
yourself too... It is BAD when that happens...
201.
When your
friend yells at someone cause they said the name Michael.
Now she's gonna have to listen to you talk about Alias, AGAIN!
202.
When
someone mentions the name Micheal you yell "Bring on the drool
buckets" and everyone looks at you funny. you say "inside joke"
and your friends say "with who" and you say " MY FRIENDS WHO
ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND ME!"
203.
You begin
to hate anyone who watches something other than Alias at 9:00 on sundays
204.
You begin
to hate your parents because they say" we'll see if you can watch alias on
sunday- the olympics is on! Your excuse: God, the Olympics is on every 4 years,
but Alias is only on every Sunday!
205.
You begin
saving up for your own tv so that you can watch Alias without your parents
saying " Why are you drooling?
206.
Your
friend tells you she has met a guy named Mike, and for a split second you are
completly jealous until you realize MV probably doesn't live in Montana.
Then you respond by "Nice name," even though your friend
doesn't quite get why it's such a good name.
207.
When your
friends hate weekends because they'll have to listen to you talk ALL WEEKEND
about the new Alias episode that will be on.

on the comp for hours just surfing alias sites
215.
When you
get in a fight with someone and start screaming "MY FRIENDS AT SD-6 WOULD
UNDERSTAND!"
216.
When all
of a sudden it's not worth even talking to someone unless they know your true
passion for Alias.
217.
This
website has become your home. Without
it, you realise, your sanity would be lost!
218.
hen all
of a sudden what you write on here has become your personal life! (seriously, I
yelled at my sister for reading over my shoulder while I typed because this was
personal)
219.
When what
you say only makes sense to the people on SD-6.com (my head hurts, sweater vest,
drains, etc.)
220.
You know
your obsessed when you've run out of things to put on this forum!
221.
You
seriously think of dying your hair a bright BRIGHT red( then look at sids
pictures of her then and think mabye not)
222.
When
you're friends try to set you up with some guy, the first thing you do is
compare him to MV...
223.
When you
watch Figure skating competitions at the Olympics (Which is a combintation of 2
of your biggest addictions ever) and you check this board while watching!! (But
when you watch Alias on tapes you press the stop button everytime you have to
move a inch back or turn your head for 0.0004 second.)
224.
When ur
parents says "We had enough of this country, Let's move to the US where all
our family lives" and you think: "yeah! that's a great idea! I'll be
able to watch Alias at the same time as my SD-6.com friends!" (NOW that is
scary. But I'm not that insane most of the time. only when it comes to Alias.
Really.)
225.
When you
stay up really late at night so you could be on the MB when people are actually
writing something on this boards. it's really exhausting waking up in the
morning and catching up on the night - this time difference between US and
Israel really doens't work for me.
226.
-When you
actually have nothing to write but you still type something so you could feel a
true part of this big sd-6.com family.
227.
OK, I'm
off now to watch some Alias. I only got to ep 10 in my tapes. had to stop for
the Figure skating competitions.
228.
You know
your obsessed when you don't find anything you want to watch on T.V.
Nothing else could possibly compare to Alias.
229.
When you
promise yourself that when you get back from the basketball match you will work
and won't touch the MB til tomorrow morning, but all you did in the last couple
of hours, since you got back from the game was posting here.
230.
-When you
realize that the reason you have a crush on a basketballer from the team you
cover is not because he's hot, sweet, rich, and one of your country's biggest
basketball stars, it's because he's hot, sweet, rich, star and reminds you of a
younger MV.
231.
When one
of the main reasons you are considering a job is because you will be in the same
state as MV, or any other Alias cast member.
232.
When you
want to follow the person who moved to another state because her reason seems
pretty damn good!
233.
in
addition to hosting sunday night alias parties in your dorm, everyone knows you
as "sydney, the alias girl" and asks you to explain what's going on.
234.
and when
you get a thrill out of educating people (like in the above) about the complex
world of alias.
235.
when a
guy you just hooked up with comes up to you and congratulates you on your golden
globe victory. and when you don't run away, blushing.
236.
when your
roommate threatens to move out because you won't delete the alias eps from
forever ago on your tivo.

consider getting back together with your extremely emotionally unavailable ex
just because he looks like MV. (i'm more than thinking about it!

realize your name appears way too much times at this page of the thread.
239.
When it
takes you some time to remember that you don't REALLY look like Jenny.

have to go on a trip for a week, and you don't want to leave your MB family, and
you're pretty sure you'll go into withdrawl from the MB.
241.
When you
start having conversations with people through this thread and PM at the same
time.
242.
Shi, I
have wonderful mental health. I
just happen to be both Sydney and Vaughn and I'm dancing all the time.
Actually, I am kinda of tired.
243.
you are
worrying that you will miss Alias because it starts in 1.5 min!
244.

about to faint because of the above
245.

to go because of the above

When the
only man in your life is MV, and you prefer it that way.
248.

go to sleep at 4am because you were here all night while you were also working,
just to make a good use out of your time.
249.

you still have to go to the MB to catch up with everything from the last episode
- cause you can't see it yourself.
250.
When you
need Alias so much, especially after reading about the last ep, that you just

this, Alias that..."

when you
start spending 2/3 hours on SD-6...
256.
...every
day
257.
for the
rest of your life ( or until Alias finishes, which will hopefully be after i die
or i will die when it happens)
258.
when
Alias can make you more hyper than sugar
259.
After a
harrowing Friday and Saturday, you finally get to sleep on Saturday night and
can't wait for Alias the next day. You
have a dream that you started watching Alias (the Box II) but your little
siblings turn the channel and you forget to turn it back!
You realize Alias ended 30 minutes ago!
You start crying, not just tears but wailing and sobbing and you wake up
in a panic breathing deep, keening, and just about hyperventilating.
Then you realize you're sleeping over at your cousins and they're asleep,
but you're embarrassed anyway.
260.
when the
guy you've been after since you saw him asks you out for sunday- and you say no.
not because it conflicts directly with alias at all, but because being with you
guys on the board, talking up the ep is much better than a makeout session with
the hot guy. (did i just say that?- this show is really doing things to me)
261.
when you
start having dreams about Alias!
262.
When you
post in your other addictions' MBs and chats Alias stuff.

cheer you up.

Alias
266.
When you
play any love type game and use MV instead of someone you actualy have a chance
with
267.
When you
feel that you really do have a chance with MV!!!
268.
ummm...guys...it's
possible though...right? We are
going to meet MV?? When you ask questions like that above and mean it
269.
When you
start to study for a french test and ur train of thought goes something like
this "ce, ces, ce matin, M, Michael can speak french, Vartan, Vaughn, I
gotta go on SD-6.com, I didn't study for the test, I'm gonna fail, I should get
a toutor, MV could toutor me, I should go to SD-6.com"
270.
When u
watch ur alias tapes - and write down all the not-english parts, cause u can
understand the hebrew (Dixon speaks hebrew in Ep1) and arabic very good, and
some of the other languages too, and you don't want to miss any word they say.

their pain, love, etc.

when you start thinking about the show (not to mention MV) so much that it starts to distract you from schoolwork
You are looking for MV everytime you leave your house even though you know that there's no way he would come to your small town...
You want to move out of your small town because living there knocks down your chances of meeting MV from 12% to 2%!
Your big Friday night out is actually spent at home in front of the computer chatting with your sd-6 friends
You are about to spend $70/year for better hosting and another domain for you Alias site (not counting other sites you already have)
When you are going through withdrawl from the MB so you find the closest library and check in with everybody. Then when you have to leave you want to cry.
When the French judge is under suspicion in the Olympics, you start defending the French for MV's sake.
When your friends and family are concerned about your Alias "addiction"
When you start wondering if the dress you bought for an upcoming wedding your going to be in would allow the room to move and do some serious butt kicking should Anna or any of the k-directorate gang show up
You go through withdrawel when not watching Alias or on the MB
When you get upset over a movie cause one of the characters from Alias died in it. (um, ya, Mists of Avalon)
