You know you're too obssessed with languages when...
...you dream in a foreign language. ->yep
...you dream of a career relating to one or more languages.
->YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
...you can speak 5 or more languages fluently and are dying to learn more. -> (the italian word is perfect--> wink MAGARI! but I'm learning 5 languages and I'm dying to learn more anyway whee
...staying up 'till 2 or 3 in the morning learning kanji is your idea of fun.
->not precisely fun but yes, I've done it several times..partly because I become a vampire sometimes xp
...you read more books in foreign languages than you do in your mother language. -> almost only books in english right now ^_^
...you mutter at people in German when you're angry. -> I wish I learned some insults in German... I'll learn Japanese ones twisted
...you decide that you want to learn certain languages (e.g. Russian, Hungarian, Chinese) just because you expect them to be hard and you want a challenge. -> yeah, that's me
...you listen to music in a language that you don't even understand, just because you think that language sounds pretty. -> do you know Sigur Ros? wonderful... Icelandic is fascinating!

You want to learn a language 'cause a friend of yours speaks it.
You hear a song, think the language sounds amazing, and you immediately want to know that language.
When you get a wrong number in another language and instead of saying "wrong number" and hanging up, you try to stay on as long as possible to hear what they're saying.
When you go to the store and evesdrop on foreign people.

... When you find out that you actually understand some foreigners.
... When you begin to dream in other languages.
... When you want to make your own song lyrics in other languages.
... When you and your friends who are also learning the language can practically speak in code in front of your families.
