- Start mentally removing the backgrounds from 
scenes and trying to pick apart the layers in 
your mind.

- When everyone else is thinking, "Wow, what a 
great scene!" you're thinking, "Wow, I wonder 
what lucky person ended up with that pan cel!"

- You can name at least two or three people who 
happen to own a cel from the exact same sequence 
you do, and can maybe even pull their gallery up 
from memory. ^_^

- You spend many hours a week watching your 
tapes/DVDs in FF-mode to pinpoint a particular 
scene/frame.

- You keep your cels in a box because you're too 
busy spending your money on the cels themselves 
to spare enough for a celbook.

- You're afraid to order a celbook from someone, 
because they have a few hundred dollars' worth of 
cels you want to buy from their site, too, and it 
*does* make sense to combine shipping... :o)

- You've ever saved an image from Ebay of a 
dreamcel auction you were trying very, very hard 
to win and still lost... so it's on your computer 
to inspire you the next time a similar cel comes 
up.

- You can recognize bits of kanji on Yahoo!Japan 
("cel", "unstuck", "pencil sketch", etc), even if 
you don't know the first thing about kanji.

- You're willing to sit in front of the computer 
for five minutes straight, doing nothing but 
click refresh.

- You get up at 6 AM or eat lunch at your desk or 
work a little late, just to make sure you're in 
front of a computer for the end of an auction.
