You know you're a wota when...
Hello!
Side note: this applies to most idol groups, but there will be specific references throughout. ^.- Feel free to add anything you want to be on the list in your comments! I'm not going to get a lot. This is just a start-
- You can name and/or recognize half or more of the AKB48 research students or H!P Eggs
- You own at least 10 photos of your favorite idol
- You buy t-shirts advertising your favorite idol/idol group and wear them on a regular basis. If you're a man 25+, you don't feel any regret or embarrasment about this.
- You know all of your favorite idol's stats by heart
- Whenever anyone insults your favorite idol or idol group, you immediately come to their defense... even if you know you're b.s.ing half your compliments. (i.e. "They're good singers!" "She can dance well!" "She has more personality than [insert some famous TV personality here]" "They're NOT ugly!"
- You have spent more than you make a day on idol goods.
- You can recognize all of your favorite idols' voices.
- You have almost a stalkerish obsession with wanting to meet them or even just see them in person.
- You hear someone say something that remotely sounds like your favorite idol's name and you immediately assume they're also a wota.
- You heavily anticipate any news from your idol.
- You have sent fan-mail.
- Your favorite idol appears in your dreams more than once.
- You have wondered what would happen if your idol dated you. (Mainly for guys, but if we include Johnnys here...)
- Your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/immediate family has learned to deal with your obsession long ago.
- If your favorite idol is suspended/fired/retired/graduated/has no work with their agency/other you check more than two sources of possible info everyday and accept any rumors about his/her return to be true immediately.
- You have at least 3 photobooks or DVDs of your favorite idol
- You could colorcode a song sung by AKB48 O.o (I'm afraid of those who can!)
- You do fandubs, cosplays, or fandances of your favorite idol or idol group
- You make birthday and worship posts on a blog/forum
- You don't take the cheap route and buy your idol's songs from iTunes or another mp3 site, you spend the money to order every edition of the CD/DVD.
----------
My score: 7/20 (I'm not saying which ones!)
That's all I can think of for now!

How about: You're up until 4am watching random videos of your favorite idol on YouTube?
Plus I'm slowly working my up to 16, one day I'll be able to name them Eggs!
I guess I'm not a wota... :-o
