Oh thank you! I knew I had something left to do today!

I wrote this a while ago:

You know your Labyrinth obsessed if:

1. Every time you need something from an online store, you search for “Labyrinth” “Jareth” and “Evil Goblin King” aswell, just in case.



2. You actually tried to get into art college with papermaché masks you made while watching the labyrinth ballroom scene over and over (and succeeded).



3. When a classmate was working with a big drab coloured wet cloth which was making squishy noises and he said “You know what this reminds me of? There’s this fantasy movie with David Bowie…” and you finished his sentence with “Labyrinth, 1986 though I first saw it in 1989 since I was 3 years old when it came out. It was made by the Jim Henson Company, who ofcourse are best know for the muppets, and was based on the artwork of Brian Froud, best know for his drawings of fairies and the scene you’re refering to is the “Bog of Eternal Stence”which is said to, when you so much as put a foot in it, make you smell bad for evaaaaah!” in one breath



4. You bought your dad a pair of those Chinese metal exersize balls just so you had an excuse and something to practice with



5. You actually toke them with you when you moved out.



6. You’re actually looking for a bigger set because the normal ones aren’t a challenge anymore.



7. You’ve tried to make a thirteen-hour-clock, but even though you could succesfully change the face of the clock, you haven’t actually figured out how to put 2 extra hours in a day.



8. And that’s one of the main reasons daylights savings time makes you happy.



9. Even though you have very strict views on what’s right and wrong you still squeal over a movie which has a thirty something sociopath drugging a fiftheen year old girl.



10. You get annoyed everytime you look for crystal balls and can’t find anything smaller than a melon.



11. And yes, you do own three different copies of the movie.



12. When you were little, you used to stand in your garden and yell “you have no power over me!” at random and even tried saying it to your dad.



13. Your dad probably knows why.



14. You’ve tried jumping of small steps, hoping the world will come apart.



15. Your parent got you an Escher book because they mistoke you looking for Goblin Kings for actual interest.



16. You’re continually searching for a blond Ziggy wig, continually ocnfuseing the nice people at the costumeshop because they don’t understand why you want a BLOND one. (I tried to get Peter Sellers like glasses once and the salesman kept trying to sel me Harry Potter glasses.)



17. When your bored you start thinking about how you would make a Labyrinth sequel that was worth seeing. Keeping into acccount that you would have to update it from the eighties, that you would have to raise puppet-awarness and that you would have to cast Scarlett Johanson if anyones going to watch it.



18. You’ve considdered casting David Thewlis if it wasn’t for the fact that he can’t sing worth ****, but he is still decidedly creepy.



19. Running into random creepy man when your alone and it’s dark don’t scare you because you figure they must be magic.



20. You’ve read Jareth/Frank-N-Furter slash.

21. You were very disappointed taht your local fetish shop didn't have any ridingcrops with microphones for a handle.

You begin to refer to people who make you mad as "Doc Hopper,"
I did that the other day when someone from work said they like to eat frog legs. :smile:
