Just for fun...
And yes, they all relate to me.
1. You try to get your friends obsessed with WALL·E. They say they liked the movie, but that isn't good enough for you. You get insanely annoyed when they start talking about some random topic as soon as they leave the theater instead of talking about WALL·E and how amazing it was.
2. You have to plot and scheme to not let your parents find out exactly how many times you've seen WALL·E in theaters because they will think you are wasting your time and money.
3. You take about an hour to remove your WALL-E figures from their packaging because you don't want to mess up the packaging (and the adorable WALL-E eyes!). You feel scandalized when you see videos of people ripping apart the packaging and tossing it aside as though it were garbage.
4. You want them to release sheet music for WALL·E. Badly. Very. Very. Badly. You also want sheet music for Hello, Dolly!
5. You think about WALL·E for the vast majority of the day, and you often relate everyday-life situations to events that occured in the movie.
6. You get very angry when your friends want to go see a movie other than WALL·E.
7. You watch Hello, Dolly! and imagine WALL·E saying all of Cornelius' lines.
8. You constantly listen to the WALL·E soundtrack. You also constantly listen to the full versions of "Put On Your Sunday Clothes" and "It Only Takes a Moment."

You dig up a plant, put it in a boot, and then shine a green light over and over again.
The only words you say is your name and 'directive' in multiple languages.
You try to stack up trash all nice and neat.

You have "Put On Your Sunday Clothes" as the wake-up music on your MP3 alarm clock.
Every conversation you have with anyone has at least one sentence that starts with, "That's just like in "WALL-E" when . . . "
You download pictures of people you don't even know off of Flickr because they are standing next to your favorite WALL-E ad.
You spend 30 minutes in the Disney store at the WALL-E display debating with your husband which WALL-E tshirts each of you should get . . . and end up buying one of each with a complex agreement on who gets dibs on each one.
You make it very clear to the Disney Store employees that you're very disappointed they don't have more tshirt designs available.
;D
Wow, feels good to confess and get it off my chest. Great thread!

You start a forum for the movie. You've seen it 3 times in theaters, 5+ times on bootleg, and are still considering going to the theater to see it again before it's gone. You're 25+ and have bought WALL-E toys from the Disney store, and played with them.

You bootleg it. 'Nuff said.
You clearly send a angry letter to Blockbuster, because they have no WALL-E toys..And then you find out Disney stole them.

Oh, wow. So true. I have never done such a bad, bad thing before WALL-E. I justify it by saying that it's Stanton's fault for making a movie so good that I simply cannot wait for the DVD and it would be cruel to make me.

Kind of similar to vanessajoyce's - you spend hours on Flickr looking at pictures that people have taken of WALL-E ads and of their WALL-E toys. You check deviantart every day to see if anyone has put up new WALL-E fan art. You check fanfiction.net every day for new WALL-E stories. The lyrics of several of your favorite songs now remind you of WALL-E (and I'm not talking about the songs they used in the movie). You become extremely distracted at work when you see a kid wearing a WALL-E t-shirt and another kid with a WALL-E temporary tatoo. Instead of doing your job, you are trying to pick the kid with the t-shirt out of the large crowd. That little plant that your parents just put in the backyard is much more important to you than it would have been a few weeks ago. Your co-workers make fun of your WALL-E obsession. They find it odd that you would go see it in theaters more than once. You don't tell them exactly how many times you've seen it. You regret that you didn't get your picture taken on the WALL-E/EVE bench model while it was still up at your theater.

In every conversation you have with a friend, you ALWAYS find a way to reference WALL-E.
That's what I did. I saw the movie on July 4, and every single time I saw my friend, I would find a way to bring up the movie, until he finally got to see it last week...now we can actually talk about it TOGETHER. OMG.

When you make a long list of "You know you're obsessed with Wall-E when..." examples while you wait for someone on PixarPlanet.com to activate your account and then when they don't, you come across this forum and post them here instead. And it ends up being a freakishly long list.
You make a list of "Questions I would ask Andrew Stanton if I ever met him".
you rehearse out loud the things you would say to Andrew Stanton if you ever met him.
You rehearse the things you would say to Wall-E if you ever met him.
You wish you could have kids just so you can dress them in cute Wall-E merchandise.
If one of htose kids was a girl you would name her Eve, and if it were a boy you would name him Walter or Wally
You download a bootleg but watch it in theaters as many times as possible anyways as well as buying it on dvd.
You and your sister go to see Wall-E a third time with matching "I <3 Wall-E" t-shirts" and matching Wall-E cups that are meant for children but you buy thyem anyways.
You cry even after the 9th time watching it (Yes. 9 times.)
You start your own Wall-E facebook group
You make a Wall-e video.
When your Macbook, which you named EVE, loses it's memory while making said Wall-E video, you cry, shake it, and yell "Wall-E! Wall-E!" And you put your face up to it to see if you can shock to help it "remember". Then you rename your computer Wall-E after the incident. (True story. I'm on vacation right now and my computer "lost it's hard drive" and we have to reload the system, but we can't do it until we get home, so I have to wait a week before I know the fate of my precious video. I was very proud of it, too. Everyone pray it isn't lost.)
You name your iPod EVE.
You hum "Put On Your Sunday Clothes" while getting ready for church.
You see a picture of a cell phone out of the corner of your eye and you think it's EVE. Even after the 100th time seeing it.
You have a friend named Eva and you accidentally call her Eve. But when you get her name right, it's always, "EEEVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
You pray your school's next musical is Hello Dolly. And if it is, you would rather play Irene Malloy or Cornelius Hackel/Hackle/Hack-L rather than Dolly or Horris Vandergelder (sp?).
Every movie you ever watch ever again is utter crap compared to Wall-E.
You go to see hte midnight showing of Batman and you see two guys in the parking lot in black spandex suits rolling around on roller blades with a fog machine that looks like a fire extuingisher, and the first thing you think is "Oh! They're supposed to be Wall-E and Eve during Define Dancing! They just got the costumes wrong!" until you find out they're actually supposed to be the batmobile.
You wish you were going to see Wall-E for the 50 thousandth time rather than seeing Batman for the first time.
Your rigntone is Wall-E saying his name all cute-like over and over and over again.
Every time you wear your favorite white dress you have to run around the house twirling in circles while listening to "Eve" on the soudntrack.
You go to Disney World wearing your "I <3 Wall-E" t-shirt and run towards the Wall-E exhibit as well as Pixar Place like a fool, pushing people aside.
While at Disney World, you spend the entire day snapping pictures of every Wall-E/Pixar related thing you can find.
At the animation thing at Disney World (it's a video, but it seems like Mushu is actually talking to the dude who is actually there presenting it to you, so it seems like everyone in the videos are actually there), they show a video of Andrew Stanton promoting Wall-E, and when he appears and says, "Hi, everyone, I'm Andrew Stanton..." You wave and yell, "HI ANDREW STANTON!!!" and everyone stares at you.
While waiting in line for rides at Disney World, you tell everyone how amazing Wall-E is and how they should go see it, while wearing your Wall-E shirt.
You collect silverware, bubble wrap, light bulbs, and rubber ducks.
You take a picture of your Interaction Wall-E holding a spork and post it as your facebook profile picture.
You promise said Interaction Wall-E that after you go on vacation to Disney World you will bring Eve home to him.
You keep that promise.
While you are on vacation you think of how lonely both your interaction Wall-E and Eve must be and how happy they will be to see each other once you get home.
You change your Macbook's alert sound (before it lost it's memory) to "ping" because it's the sound Wall-E made when Eve kissed him.
You make it so your computer talks to you in Auto's voice.
When you go to the mall you don't shop for clothes. You shop for Wall-E toys.
When your mother forces you to shop for clothes, you are too busy listening to the music to see if any of it would be good for a Wall-E video.
You buy Wall-E toys even when you're not supposed to. (My mom can't stand my obsession)
You find yourself explaining to your mother the proper way to pronounce Wall-E's name.
You see a Daniel Radcliffe (an actor I used to be in love with) signature on a forum and it says "Down To Earth", so you immediately break out in song. It's a while before you realize it was actually referring to a personality trait.
Your mother considers resisting the urge to buy the Wall-E Little Golden Book a considerable achievment.
You have to resist the urge to have a hissy fit when your grandparents want to go see something in theaters that isn't Wall-E.

You take a photo of yourself posing next to a WALL-E teaser poster at the Disney-MGM animation gallery, almost a year before the film is actually released. I did exactly that. I wish I could be there this year to see what WALL-E stuff they have on display(they had very nice displays for Ratatouille and Meet the Robinsons when I visited)
Also, you wonder what the robots would look like as humans. I think EVE would make a very fine lady... please don't get any dirty thoughts...

I think is kind what I like about the gijinka art on Deviantart. I can understand if some people don't like it, but I just like getting a different perspective by thinking of the bots in those terms.

You've never been to Disney World (and would normally avoid it like the plague), but you actually have an interest in going now just to see all the WALL-E stuff there. Your wish is that WALL-E would be wandering down the sidewalk waving and talking to people. You wouldn't leave his side the whole day.

smkndofpnutdssrt, that was an EPIC post.
It's definitely starting to feel that way for me. I see a movie, and it's just like, "well, it was all right, but it wasn't WALL-E."
Yes. I saw the movie yesterday, and as we were walking up to the theater, I just kind of thought, "I'd really rather be seeing WALL-E again..."

Our local theater only has one screen, and WALL-E was there until TDK came out. It made me sad when I went into the theater (to see TDK) to think that WALL-E had been replaced by a movie I was certain not to enjoy as much.
