Disclaimer: *sticks her disclaimer in the faces of the short little Japanese business dudes from Bandai who
own the series* See? Look. I don't own it. I don't promise not to BUY it from you if I ever get the money, but at the moment, I can only dream. I don't own Treize or Dorothy, Heero or Trowa, and I don't admit to doing any of the things specified in this. Arigato.
You Know You've Watched Too Much Gundam Wing If... by CleverYoungThief
- When your history teacher lectures about the horrors of WWI, you argue fervently in a very
Treize-like fashion about how war and the urge to conquer is human nature, and how beautiful
battle is. Your classmates just think you feel sorry for the bad guys.
- When your history teacher asks you what the best way to change a corrupt government is, you
say to assassinate the leader. He sends your name in to the school counsellor.
- When you make an A+ on the WWI test that your history teacher gives, you shout "Mission
accomplished!" Your classmates have chalked your behavior to harmless insanity.
- You actually try the Trowa Barton knife-throwing bit and end up in the hospital with stitches.
- You get kicked out of the zoo for trying to pet the lions. After throughly explaining to the
zookeeper that beasts only bare their fangs at enemies, the zookeeper reminds you that beasts
also bare their fangs at idiots.
- You try having a unibang like Trowa and use thirty-five tubes of styling gel on your hair. It
still didn't work, and now, if you ever DID become a Gundam pilot, your hair could double as a
helmet.
- You try to set a fashion trend with tank tops, spandex and combat boots. It doesn't catch on,
and you keep on wearing it anyway.
- Instead of rolling your eyes at your parents when they ask you to do something like take out
the garbage, you mutter Japanese curses under your breath, which are particularly effective
because your parents have absolutely no idea what you're saying. They just think you're going
through a phase.
- After repeated death threats to other students and even teachers you finally get sent to the
principal's office. After addressing him the entire time as "Your Excellency", he's flattered and
lets you off with a mere week's detention.
- Whenever you see a shooting star or a satellite, you assume that Operation Meteor is starting
and immediately alert the authorities. The police chief of your precinct knows you by name.
- When the police ignore your warnings, you consult the tabloids. They make a hefty profit
publishing the information, and you still look like an idiot.
- You decide not to do your algebra homework and opt instead to proofread that awesome new
fanfic of yours.
- You burn all the image songs and techno Japanese music from the series onto a CD and go
around with a portable CD player, wishing your life had such an awesome soundtrack. *sigh*
- Whenever there's a new guy in class, you automatically assume that he's an assassin from
outer space. Fortunately, your friends already warned him about you, and he makes sure to stay
out of your way.
- You put a vanity plate on your car that says NATACKU, and then talk to it every day. (The
car, not the vanity plate.)
- You have a self-detonation device in your car. (Okay, it's not a self-detonation device, it's just
a cigarette lighter, but you don't smoke.)
- You drive down the parkway in your car with a CD of the Gundam Wing battle soundtrack
(ex. The Boy That Killed Adolescence) blaring out your open windows.
- When your parents ground you for your algebra grade (a result of those late-night fanfic
sessions you were having instead of studying), you scream "Injustice!!!" in a Wufei-type fashion
and stalk off to your room to pout like the weak little onna you are.
- You always tell your crush you'll kill them, and rip up all your party invitations (which is one
reason why you're not getting so many lately... )
- When some jerk makes a stupid comment about how girls are wimps, you stab him with your
pencil in a Dorothy-like fashion.
- When that preppy, popular girl that always has a flock of followers ( *insert name* heh, you
know who I'm talkin' about. Every school has one) asks you if she can borrow your algebra book,
you accidently call her Relena and run away before she can question you about it.
- Trying to be impressive, you and your best friend master those awesome basketball drills
executed by Duo and Heero. Everybody still thinks you're a lunatic, but now they think you're a
lunatic with the moves of Micheal Jordan.
- When your parent's friends ask about you, your parents mention Gundam Wing like it's an
illness. (i.e. Parent's friends: "What's wrong with your daughter?" Parents: "She watches Gundam
Wing." Parent's friends: "We're so sorry. Oh, you always think it's going to be the other guy's kid...
you never think it's going to happen to yours.")
- Your parents don't even know Gundam Wing was a television show. They think it's a cult.
(Hey... I think it could almost qualify!)
- You've efficiently mastered the use of Hammerspace. (An animated character's ability to pull
things out of thin air, i.e. Heero's ability to pull a gun from spandex shorts. I still don't see how he
does it!)
The End
So, how was it? Dumb? Cool? Heh, R+R, minna-san, it makes me happy. ^_^
P.S. I might add to this list if I ever sink to that level of boredom again. It will probably
be soon...
