When you see the Legolas doll and realise you can't afford it, your friends buy it for you because they know you'll be depressed for ever if you don't get it. (I have the best friends!)

When people give you funny looks at your obsessive and antisocial behaviour.

When members of the public are disturbed by your obsessive behavior. -is probably a better rephrase of the one I said earlier...

When the other Bloomfan in your class gets so bored in French that she says her ambition is to be Orlando's Wife. And I said that the only one thing I did at the weekend was draw elves. We got some VERY strange looks from our teacher, I can say...
I was told by several people recently, strangers included, that I needed psychiatric help in order to resolve my 'unnatural' obsession

When your best friend also believes they're real and you spend the next hour yelling and screaming at each other over who should really be going out with Orli because the other one doesn't treat him nice enough...

When your mother has to set a barbie-sized place for him.

When you spend four pointless hours shooting his little bow- and fetching the arrow, and shooting it- and fetching it, and shooting it- and fetching...

When youv'e given the action figure a little squeaky voice which he 'talks' to you with.

Barnes and Nobles
(deserves its own section cause there are several references to it)

When you go into Barnes and Noble and people give you weird looks because you are looking through the LOTR movie books and start smiling and laughing out of hapiness of seeing you one and only true love in a book

When you start crying when you see for the third time that Barnes and Noble are again sold out of Legolas bookmarks and bang your head agains the B&N wall because you didn't buy one when they WERE in stock (and YES, it DID happen )

When you call almost every Barnes and Nobles you can think of to get his Bookmark.

When you go to Barnes and Nobles just to make sure they have a proper stock of Legolas bookmarks.

When you see new pictures of him wearing shirts with the numbers 13 and 22 and you instantly draw connections, like so: 13 is my lucky favorite number, way before I knew Orlando was born on a thirteenth, seriously. And I'm 22 years old

OMB! I just remembered the first time I watched LOTR with my parents just to convice them that there's an elf there that's worth all my time and sleep and money... (you know what I mean. ) At first, we were all just quiet and stuff, but suddenly, in the fight scenes, I unconsciously began making animal sounds like growling and stuff! (Well, that's what they told me.) You should've seen their faces, their little daughter all grown up and horny in front of them!

When you are talking to your friend on the phone, on msn and on FF about Orli

When you rewind a scene in "Treasure Planet" over and over again then giggle because one of the pirates said "Make up your blooming mind!"

When your in Las Vegas and the pirate show reminds you of Orli and then you think, "Maybe's he here," and spend the next half hour searching the hotel!

When you order a Japanese mag for one picture and you have no idea how to read Japanese.

Orlando Connections
Your friend gives you a link to ww.Orlandosentinel.com and your first thought is that it's an Orli fan site. (It's actually the webpage for the newspaper in Orlando, Florida, USA)

When you think you hear his name in songs.

You compare every guy you know to Orlando

You go to the supermarket, and you see the digital readout: PB100MAnd you see ““Bloom””

When your best guy friend mentions that you need to find a guy he immediately adds " Other than Orlando"

When you see a movie unrelated to Orli and Elves yet you still find yourself thinking about him...

Whenever anybody says any word beginning with 'Leg',you scream at the top of your lungs 'Where? Where? My sweet!'

I stop squeal and point whenever I see anything remotely Orli/Leggy/LOTR/anything else you would like to contribute I will have stopped and stared at...for perhapes just a bit too long. Like the little seizure at Legoland...damn the nd!!! Don't even et me STARTED on Orlando, Florida!!

I'm the kind of person who, when for some reason the conversation drifts to food, says: You know who eats too? Orlando Bloom!

When you accidentally see a book called Orlando at the library you immediately check it out, even though you have no idea what it is about, because you remember that he was named after this book

When you think you hears the dj on your local rock station say he just played "In Bloom" and you chuckle to yourself

When you see a black and white pic of a guy sitting/leaning on a car and you immediately think of this pic:

When you print out this picture and tape it to the headboard of your bed so you can fall asleep and wake up with Orli's face next to yours:

When you put this picture on your headboard also, so you can yawn along with Orli:
