You know you're obssessed with Evangelion when you emulate Ritsuko's coffee drinking problem and spend a lot of time in evageeks too. Perhaps my sleeping problem isn't so much about coffee, but rather because of evageeks :cool: :lol:

Perhaps you are also imitating Misato's coffee drinking habit that she developed towards the end of the series (but she drank canned coffee).

I had forgotten Eva was notorious for being a big canned coffee advertisement :facepalm:

The advertisements you speak of are seen far more frequently in NME, but you do see UCC coffee in NGE and EoE too, but less so:

I suppose Eva has a bit of history with UCC, they have sold Eva themed cans and the like in Japan.

Shinji's promotion is awesome... "Fuck yeah! :sly:" :rofl:

And on topic: You know you're obssesed with Eva when you're watching it for the third time and focusing more on stuff/clues on the background than the actual story.

When you tear open the plastic around a pack of toilet paper and suddenly feel like a berserk Eva eroding an A.T. Field.

It felt good. Try it.

Nothing particularly strange about watching TV in the tub. I read in the tub, occasionally, when I can't sleep. The logistics of that...

Honestly, that we're here talking about an anime from 1995 shows a...unique...level of interest.

when you singlehandedly made everybody in your school (only like 50+ people) know what evangelion is through Shinji's beginning scene in End of Evangelion.

I just figured it was strange because most people can't watch TV in the tub, or don't go out of their way to. I used a portable DVD player.

^For best results, slowly puncture one hole with the fingers of both hands side-by-side, and then pull the edges of the hole laterally.* To add a distinctly Rebuildesque flair, use teeth.†

*For video instructions, refer to Neon Genesis Evangelion, Episode 02: The Beast, around the nineteen-minute mark.

†Note that the last suggestion has not actually been tested by the author.

When you name your cat Shinji so that you have an excuse to talk about the show if someone asks about the cat´s name.

Oh man, you shouldn't. They have a wrong image of Shinji now. They don't know the reasons why he's so fucked up at that moment.
