*cries* I'm obsessed! Oh well, who couldn't be obsessed, they're awesome books.
arrow You try to change your eyes to that of a hawk
arrow You try to peel the skin off your hand so you can make jewelry out of living metal
arrow You wear your hair in intricate braids so that your magic doesn't slip out and cause an earthquake or something
arrow You cried when Gaia got rid of the purple eyes because now your Alanna character doesn't look right
(none pertain to me, but they might to some)

You know you're obsessed when...:
You're actually reading this list.
And
You understand everything mentioned.

Guilty.

You know you're obsessed when:
1. you walk into wind storms trying to hear gossip
2. feed pigions in an attempt to hear the ghosts of the dead

I don't have the time to read them all now,so if there are repeats please forgive me! I am guilty of all of these things:
-> You a have a half-african-american friend and you instantly think of Dove
-> In your martial arts class, you fantasize about Alanna being in your class to watch you kick the used-to-be best guy's butt...
-> When you walk to the library, you daydream about teaching a random character how Earth works.
-> In the middle of the above, you do walk over to the side of the pavement to let them walk in the middle, and chatter, even when there are people out (so WHAT if talking to air is the first step to insanity!?!)
-> You think of catapults when you help someone in math class
-> You instantly think of 'Cleon' every time your friend raves about 'Creon', her crush.
-> When you are thinking up story starters, you suddenly write down about someone prickng there finer while sewing.

crabbycat14 i'm am guilty of so many of these 15. You have recurring dreams that you have your own story in Tamora Pierce's worlds. Or you have had dreams where you are dating your favorite character. ((um that would be Numair for me.)) 16. You insist that you understand animals and that they talk to you. 17. You are constantly checking Tamora Pierce's website for updates worrying about when the next book is going to come out. I'm guilty for all three......XD

arrow You read this entire list even though you're supposed to be asleep.
arrow Your style of writing has immediately altered to Tamora Pierce's
arrow You find yourself wanting to use terms such as 'mot', 'cove', 'rusher', 'Dog' after reading Terrier or 'fair', 'Mithros, Minios and Shakith' after Immortals, ect.
arrow You immediately attempt to figure out which race, culture and country Tammy converted to Tortal or Emelan and have come up with the following:
Yanjing: China
Yaman: Japan
Tortall: Europe?
Copper Isles/Carthak: Africa??
Bazhir: Eygpt? Africa?
Traders: African?
Scanra: Germany??
Namorn: Um...Europe again???
arrow You beg your parents for a Tamora Pierce book to add to your growing collection every time you enter Barnes & Nobles, even if you've read it already.
arrow The first time you go to a new school or library, or bookstore, you immediately go to the Fantasy 'P' section to see if they have any Tamora Pierce books.
arrow You find yourself frequently wishing you lived in Tortall/Emelan
arrow You tend to base characters on Tammy's, then hit yourself on the head for plagerizing.

I haven't read the first series of the books yet.
(Allana:The first Adventure-The Lioness Rampant)
Neither have I read anything but the Immortals so far, and I'm on the third one now.
(Emperor Mage)
But I admit, I'm obsessed.

- You stay up reading her books until 3 am, even though you have to get up at 6 for work.
- Bonus points to those of you that can't function without nine hours of sleep. wink

ateenangel - You stay up reading her books until 3 am, even though you have to get up at 6 for work.
- Bonus points to those of you that can't function without nine hours of sleep. wink ((So guilty of that one! I get bonus points as well... But it's school for me and not work.))
(Forgive me for any that have already been posted.)
~When you skip meals and homework to read one of Tamora Pierce's new books you just got
~When you constantly day dream about being in Tortall and are being yelled at for being so quiet while you're day dreaming!
~Read one of her books because you're upset.
~Need her books to survive
~Try to be like one of you favorite characters
~Find yourself writing a story and constantly critisizing yourself because you can't write as well
~Beg to go to Borders/Barnes and Nobles just to get one of the new books you haven't read even though you still have 3 unread ones.
~Are reading this whole thread and being yelled at for not going to bed or doing homework!
~Get yelled at because you can't put down one of her books.
~Should be listening to a lecture from a teacher or parent but are too busy thinking about that new book you just got.
((Me? I'm guilty of all of these things and more!))

i dont know if these have been said, but:
you cry when you see a bird that doesnt have 4 legs because you wish it was a griffin.
when you take your sword fighting class ( yes ) you grab each of the hilts to see if any have a magic attraction.
