I do some of these things that you listed lol :)

Same. xD

Yeah, so for Halloween I dressed up as Katniss because I still had my long hair. So I braided it and and wore the stuff they wore in the first book. It was for a Halloween event that our community does and one of my friends was just like "Hi Catnip.". Mission accomplished. :D

And at lunch once, I was sitting at a table with basically all guys. I made them debate about Peeta and Gale. It was really funny.

And continue with the list.

You have tried making your own metal Mockingjay pin.

You (and your best friend who has also read THG because you got them to and they, too, got addicted, and also b/c as your best friend they WOULD read THG) have actually spent hours online looking at Mockingjay pins and wishing you were 18+ so you could order them.

PRIM. SO SAD. ;_____;

You crumbled cinnamon and dill together to see what Peeta really smells like.

(I'm seriously going to, just as soon as my mother buys dill. I want to know if it smells like a bakery or like crap because Collins decided to put two random smells together. Not because I want to put it on my pillow and fall asleep thinking Peeta is sitting next to me because THAT IS FREAKY. Eugh. O.e)

You read THG fanfiction.

I actually have gold eyeliner, but people looked at me weird when I wore it. Non Hunger Games freaks... mumble mumble.

-Upon purchasing the book, you simply stared at it for a while and smiled, savoring the fact that you finally had it.

-You couldn't stare at it for that long, though, because you just had to read it and see if any of your many theories were right.

-Whenever any of your theories was proven right, you pointed at the book and shouted "I KNEW IT!" even if you were still in the bookstore.

Yeahhh, I did these ^

-On a hike/camping trip/outdoor excursion, you find yourself thinking about what wherever you are would be like as an arena.

-Reality TV creeps you out. Especially survival-type stuff (MAN VS. WILD…)

-You've thought about learning archery, just in case.

-The first time you saw a poster for the movie "District 9", you ran over thinking it was going to have something to do with THG. (But nope. It's about aliens. And they're not even in Panem.)

-You see something mentioning "District 11" (of something completely unrelated to THG) and your first thought is "FARMING! RUE! THRESH! HUNGER GAMES!"

When you want to read the books over again.

You ABSOLUTELY COMPLETELY REFUSE to read ANY fanfiction just in case it completely ruins the series for you.

Elizabeth wrote?"When you want to read the books over again." yeah I did that almost I had to stop my self see I was looking at the Mountain Air song then I was you know reading it and then I saw the next word after the song then I went back read where Rue you know then I kept reading and I was like NO! I cant do it!! yeah it was nuts :) anywho. LIst.

- when you go to a store and see a orange backpack and buy it to look like Katniss.

When you go to the store and see an orange backpack and buy all of them and BURN THEM because they are a symbol of the Capitol's tyranny.
Or because you don't think anyone could top Katniss.

You have friends who actually get your THG refs. :D

You have friends who only get your THG refs because even though you wouldn't let them read the books (you knew they'd hate them and you can't stand it when people aren't obsessed with them) you make so many refs that by now they're used to it. :)

When you see a street named Gale Ave.

ZOMG THERE IS A STREET???

You know you're obsessed with the Hunger Games when you react like that.

You know you're obsessed with the Hunger Games when you can find the city of Nogales faster than your own. (Not that I have anything against Gale. ;))

When you eat pita bread, you feel like you're killing Peeta on the inside.
