Okay, basically, like the title. A list of flags that show just how obsessed with Harmony you are. Add on your own, and see how many we can get!

1) You find yourself comparing your relationships to Harmony.
2) You're always on the look out for a dark haired man and brown haired woman as you go out on your errands.
3) As you listen to the radio, its been known for you to shout out "That's so H/Hr!" when a particular song comes on. As a result, the surrounding people may think you have Tourette's Syndrome.
4) When Ford (was it? or was it chevy?) came out with the HHR, you went nuts.
5) You get a goofy grin on your face every time the commercial for eHarmony.com comes on.
6) You've picked out names, genders, and personalities of all H/Hr kids
7) You've planned their wedding.
8) You've subjected innocent people on the street to your shipping preference reasons.
9) You never used to like pumpkin pie until you shipped Harmony
10) Your cumiliative record of fanfiction/essays on Harmony rivals the size of Ootp

Okay, now it's your turn....

Thats really clever hexonjellybeans12, but I don't think im quite that obsessed with the HHR ship! Although I could go for a slice of pumpkin pie right about now......

If I had a dollar for every time I did that...Finally, a few months ago, I downloaded about 70 songs and made 4 Harmony CDs.



GUILTY! It's the first question I ask when I find new people who like the HP series. New friends, my dog's vet, (who has 2 cats - Hagrid and Hermione), a lady at the mall the other day On a side note, my puppy was born on July 31st. Almost died when I found out!

Hmmm...how am I obsessed with Harmony?

- Visiting PK no less than 4 times a day

- constantly reading fan-fiction

- constantly trying to find new H/Hr avatars

- spending hours fixated on youtube. MAN, they have some AWESOME H/Hr vids on there!!!

- talking about Harmony so much that my husband is close to AKing me, LOL

I'm guilty of the following:

Dreaming about Harry & Hermione.
Highlighting all the H/Hr moments in my books
Re-reading the books over and over again to find even more H/Hr
Spending hours researching hippogriffs, golden chains, Hermione, & Harry
Watching the movies and pausing all H/Hr scenes
Squeeing every time Harry and Hermione hug, touch, kiss, talk in the books and movies
Drooling over H/Hr avatars and photos
Reading essays supporting H/Hr more times than necessary
Poring over JKR's interviews looking for clues, and reading her favorite books (Emma, TLWH)


...I'm sure I can think of some more.

Compared to all of you... nope... the only thing I'm guilty of is browsing Portkey like 12 times a day, but that's because I want to debate something and I'm looking for an update...

Ahh well...

~Salamon2

YEP! I'm almost embarrassed...no, I'm not...

Contrary to popular belief I don't squee everytime I see a harmony hug or kiss (what am I saying? Yes, I do!)

And its not our fault the avatars and photos are soooo good!!

I know one:

When at the end of the first book, you see Harry and Hermione at the end of the series married with seven children.

Most of all them are me!!

- You relate things is real life to H/Hr things. (FF, FA, HP, etc)
- You get your little sisters to hate R/hr, H/G, and Love H/hr, D/G, & R/LL.
- You have made over 300 icons that relate to H/hr.

(I'll think of more later)

That is so me! Whenever there aren't any new fanfiction updates, I always go around moaning, "I need fanfics!". I visit PK way more than 4 times a day, and I check the H/Hr livejournals for more avatars each day.

Okay, now reasons...

1. You see something at a store that pertains to H/Hr and you want to buy it.
2. Whenever you read a new book or watch a movie, you look to see if its main couples resemble or act like HHr.
3. You babble on and on and on (and on... etc...) about HHr to your little sister/brother (etc.) even though they're not paying attention.
4. You think about HHr when you're at school, work, etc. and you can't NOT think about it.
5. Most of your favorite songs are HHr related.

AND...

I've done that.

Miss Mady

All right, I know I started this list, but I have one more to add:

1) You're getting you're brother SS for Christmas....and he's three months old (I am guilty of this!)

When you're grinning stupidly on almost every page of OOTP.

When you make anvil jokes in a room full of people and forgetting that you're the only one who gets it.

When you say "delusional" in casual conversation then giggle inexplicably.

When you have a dream in which you are Harry and you are in love with Hermione...

HAHA! I'm guilty of every single one of those.

Try being on PK ALL day. Yes, I'm serious. I'm homeschooling my highschool and I'm gonna take the GED test in half a year. I do all my studies at home by my desk till then. That means I can have the computer on while I bash my brains over school subjects. Guess what's almost always on my taskbar next to ITUNES...?

When you get into half-hour rants with anyone who says they know about Harry Potter..

Hah that's what I've been trying to do.. convert all my friends into H/Hr shippers! -evil laugh-

When you make it know, two-seconds upon discovering someone who shares your love of Potter, that you are SO rooting for H+Hr just because you immediately want to know where his/her shipping loyalties lie.

Wow...that is a sure sign! Good job!

Okay, okay, I admit it! With our internet, it's constantly on (high speed, I guess) so PK is always minimized down on my toolbar, too. HE HE. I feel better now cause I was embarrassed saying four...I just didn't type the zero after it, LOL!

AdamantEve - I do that too! Whenever I am upset at something someone says or does, I say "Never mind me, I'm just delusional." HA HA! I like to also use a smattering of "oblivious" and once, I even used "militant". That one's a lot harder to slip into casual conversation, though!

It gets worse. I think of H+Hr so much that the Potter-verse has totally ruled me.

I say, "My train to Hogwarts leaves..." when asked why I'm in such a hurry to leave work.

This is why I love PK SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much. It reminds me that I'm not insane...well, I'm not the only one who's insane, LOL.

Isn't it wierd that a fictional book can hi-jack our lives??? Consume us and our thoughts - waking and sleeping? I mean, it's crazy, really. I make no apologies, though!

The only time I'll ever say "I'm sorry," is when H+Hr sails and I have to gloat at my R+Hr friends.

::sigh:: What a chore. Responsibilies...

I'm not sure "I'm sorry" would even come up in the conversation to my R/Hr friends...more along the lines of "I told you so!"

ONE MORE REASON:

1. Your "Favorites" is full of Portkey, Youtube (for HHr vids), and other HHr related links.

Miss Mady

Hah. Ya'll are funny.


Okay, here're a couple more signs.

1. Your right eye develops a twitch whenever "anvils" are mentioned.

2. You've stopped eating chocolate altogether. (Now that's commitment.)

3. You're so addicted to PK that you don't know how to function at other fandom haunts. You get so antsy that you want to tear through their forums posting Harry and Hermione!!! everywhere. (No? Okay, just me, then. )

4. You've placed Harry Potter shipping along with religion and politics on your list of things you shouldn't discuss (but invariably do anyway) because you are much too prone to debates arguments about it.

It's definitely a "don't go there" topic with my best friend and I...nothing good ever comes out of it so we just ignore it.

so totally agree!

I'm guilty of everything listed..well most of them...

I'm on Portkey every chance I get time to go to the Internet. And I'll be on for almost the whole day! My parents are so gonna kill me when they find out! Wahh!

When I know a certain person/ total stranger likes Harry Potter, I immediately ask them which couple they like the most...

Almost all my favorite songs scream H/Hr!!!!

My Favorites include Portkey and YouTube

Everythime I hear a new romantic song, I imeediately think of the movie clips and how best to string them into a great H/hr video that would match the song!

The color orange is suddenly becoming one of my favorite colors!

When I daydream and I think of H/Hr, I suddenly squeal like a crazy pig that my friends think I'm going insane...no wait..they think I am insane!!! Wahaha!

Oh, and I giggle stupidly whenever I hear the word "delusional"..dont ask... hahaha!!!

when you try to convince (sp) a heron that harry will end up with hermione

Unfortunately, I don't think I could ever give up Chocolate. I just imagine Giny as the chocolate, I bite into her, and I eat her. So then she is dead.


Kind of a nice thought.

i like that thought

That will so be on my mind the next time I eat chocolate.

-You snicker at the word delusional.
-Whenever someone says they like Ron/Hermione, you say, "Ugh, why?"
-You wish you had high-speed internet so you could watch H/Hr Youtube videos more often.
-When you think of love, you immediately picture Harry and Hermione.
-You spend three hours on PK and looking for H/Hr stuff on DeviantArt.

When...

1.) You know all of the defintions of "ideal"
2.) You know all of the definitions of "platonic"
3.) When you have debates for hours over just what the ancients meant by "platonic" (kinda like debating over what "catharsis" was supposed to mean)
4.) You have 1+ Gigs of H/H videos stored on your computer/ipod
5.) You think other people around you want to watch all those vids
6.) You know all about Hipogriffs
7.) You've researched your heart out about gold chains
8.) You become offended everytime someone calls anything delusional
9.) You read other books with the sole intention of writing essays illustrating the similarities between them and Harry Potter; for example, Emma (guilty. its in the works)
10.) You stick to your guns against 8 other R/H shippers attacking you in a pro R/H forum, and make them all look like idiots in the process.
11.) you debate about "Who Will Fall in Love with Whom" with all of your family members
12.) you think they actually care
13.) you think they have even heard half of what you are saying
14.) you snap at anyone who misuses the word "ideal"

Well, that wraps it up for me.

When you want to stalk and kill Emmerson because he called you delusional (I don't want to. But I've seen many HHr shippers wish him a very unhappy death)

Nah. Not death. We know that there are other ways of destroying a man, and that there are things much worse than death.

A Harmony ending in Book 7, for example.

Exactly. Wishing anybody death is just plain crazy and uneducated. But I do hate the guy and wish him alot of bad luck in his life. First and foremost, Harmony happening in book 7. I don't think Harry and Hermione getting together itself is actually going to devastate him. What makes it so bad for him is that he's prematruely stated that H/Hr is "not cannon" and he's made immense fun of us. JKR simply putting Harry and Hermione together would suddenly turn him into the stupidest laughingstock ever.



Wow Aggroskater, is that a real experience of yours? I'd like to hear a bit more about it...

you know you're obsessed with H/Hr when:

-you see the word 'Harmony' on a print ad for house paint and GIGGLE!
-actually dream about the 'i love you hermione' scenes you think up in the daytime!

You know your obsessed when you refuse to visit a certain site who has a Heron worshiped little teenager as their self proclaimed god

Maybe that was a little harsh.......Am I being delusional again? Nah.....

You know you're obsessed with H/Hr when...

1. you giggle every time you hear "delusional" (it's coming up everywhere now!)

...at least I giggle every time I hear delusional. I don't really mind being called that because my friends already think I'm weird, and I already think I'm weird.

Miss Mady

[quote]When you think of love, you immediately picture Harry and Hermione.
[quote]

I always do that

You know you're obsessed with Harmony when you declare Dido's "White Flag" your own personal theme song.

Consequently, I'm guilty or many things people have brought up. If Portkey isn't in my tool bar, my computer isn't on. I giggle like crazy when someone says Delusional and proudly proclaim "That's me!" I can't tell you how many times I've lectured my family on how Harry and Hermione should get together. I've turned them away from shipping altogether. Now they just nod when I start talking, and don't pay the least bit of attention. Further, I am writing an HHr fan fiction, and (though I'm only roughly half-way through) it's 259 pages so far, so it will probably be OotP length by the time I’m done.

So, yeah, I'm a bit obessesed.

Cheers,

Madm_05

It amazes me how many people here are "guilty" of motormouthing to their parents about H/Hr. I dunno maybe it's a boy thing, but I think I'd want to dissappear in a puff of smoke if my parents ever found out I was a shipper. I never discuss shipping with my folks, or any romance topic for that matter. C'mon, it's just like totally embarrasing.

yeah, I'm with Arm_Wild on this one.

For the ladies on here...I can understand why they vent about HHr to their folks ;p
i don't know how many times my girlfriend has lectured me on the certainties of HHr happening...of course, I agree, but I'm not about to parade about it either....embarrassment would be imminent

I'm male and my family knows I'm a shipper. Then again, my mom writes romance novels, so that's hardly the most embarrassing thing for me.

Well, Im male and my family is VERY aware of my shipping preferences. Granted, mom doesn't write romance novels, but she recently got divorced. To put it lightly, it was a "perfect" R/H style relationship. And she agrees wholeheartedly with me that H/H is the REAL true love. And so this personal experience only makes me more confident about H/H.

And as for the me versus 8 R/H shippers, true or no? More like 4 people actually coming up with the facts, and the other 4 simply repeating those facts, but yes, true. It was on the WB forums ages ago. I believe one other person came in to back me up a bit later. Essentially, it was the same "obvious" lines and how "Hermione is like Harry's Mom" arguments. I liked to bring up the point that Hermione was "motherlike" towards Ron as well, and the arguments went round from there.

However, I got banned from the WB forums for embeding my own HTML into my posts (for funny videos and music, etc), and for bringing up the fact that this ability could effectively allow me to gain control of the server if I embeded the right scripts into the post. They weren't happy about my awareness of this, and so, I got banned. Rather than thanking me for bringing the flaw to their attention, they banned me (and its not the first time thats happened with me and computers). Im pretty sure they patched the holes though. Hopefully before some blackhat got to them.

I am so guilty of many, if not most, of the things mentioned so far!! I love this thread!! I couldn't stop laughing, mostly because I see myself doing almost all of it, even if I haven't done it already.

You know you're obsessed when at work you're so tired (cause it's like 3:30 in the morning when you get there) that you want to go home. But, the only thing to keep you wide awake and alert is to talk about the Harmony ship with anybody on your staff. (I'm the lead student for an early morning custodial and I have brought 5-6 people over to the HMS Harmony from other ships )

Harmony FOREVER!!!

~HermioneGirl~

I'm a guy and granted I'm older and out of the house, but I can usually talk about s** and other things with my mom. Heck, my senior year in high school I was able to do that! Through these little chats I've discovered some things about my parents that I wouldn't have known otherwise (the fact that my Dad has a b***** obession, which I find quite pointless). And thinking back on conversations where my mother complained about problems with men in general, all of the times she was talking about things she had "seen on judge shows" she was actually using as a way of complaining about my dad, which I pointed out to her, and she admitted to.

Yeah my parents have the R/Hr type of relationship. Would have ended years ago had my mother not gotten bedridden.

That's one thing about R/Hr having a kid, both would fight over the kid and use them as a sounding board for the problems in their own relationship. Or in otherwords the kid would act like the adult, mediating between the parents, while the parents acted like bickering little kids.

~Salamon2

You know you're obsessed with H/Hr when...

1 You spend every available moment either reading H/hr fanfiction, writing H/Hr fanfiction or talking about H/Hr

2 Whenever you see the Livestrong style wristbands for sale you look for one in orange that says Harmony

3 You have researched on the internet how you could make a livestrong style wristband in orange that says Harmony

4 You have bought an army camoflage t-shirt painted the word Delusional across the front, two pumpkins on one sleeve and Harmony on the other & Portkey.com across the back

5 You wear said t-shirt in public whenever possible

6 You become angry & irrational if anyone calls you delusional

7 You find the word "anvils" hysterically funny

8 You are constantly on the look out for men who bear any passing resembelance to what you think Harry may look like when he's older and any woman who is pretty and has bushy hair

9 Whenever you see a woman who is pretty and has busy hair you accidentally say "SEE" outloud because you think other people in the vicinity need to know that Hermione is pretty and this woman prooves it.

10 Whenever you hear a couple bickering in a way that is remeniscent of R/Hr you tell whoever is standing next to you that this is a perfect example of why R&Hr would never work as a couple

11 Whenever you hear about two best friends becoming a couple you tell whoever is standing next to you that this is proof conclusive that H/Hr were ment to be.

12 You find out someone you know is a Heron (though they may not even know what the term means) and instantly you loose a bit of respect for them as they clearly have a warped idea of what love is.

13 You constantly point out examples in the people you know of why R/Hr wouldn't work to the above person to try and subvert their faith in R/Hr

14 You are dissapointed when the R/Hr person doesn't understand what you are trying to do and doesn't see the relation to HP

15 You only visit HP related sites that are also H/Hr sites because you can't stand listening to/reading a Heron bias.

16 You read a thread about signs that your obsessed with H/Hr and you have to acknowledge that you are guilty of everyone of them and then some.

It just hit me!

You know you're obsessed with H/Hr when you reply to this thread and post how obsessed you are with H/Hr.

Now that one is probably true to the word!

I am a blabbermouth when it comes to shipping too. Me and my best friend go at it constantly whenever Harry Potter comes up LOL Not to mention my parents are often at the end of a long triade of how awful R/Hr is. Although I have to admit I have calmed down in the last year or so. Somehow it doesn't seem as important to be right anymore.

I think I am lucky in that I believe that my parents are the perfect picture of how Harry and Hermione would be in marriage. I see a few peeps on here saying how their parents were like R/Hr and they ended in divorce. My parents are so into each other even after all these years. LOL my dad says that my mom keeps his fires burning

It used to bother me and gross me out when my dad would say stuff like that but now I think it allows me to actually see how much they really do love each other. I'm thankful that I have had their example of love to follow and I think my own approach to love will be successful thanks to them. At least a small part anyway.

Gee Whiz........I never meant to get all mushy and stuff
