There was already one, but it has drifted far back intot his section, and is too old to post in, so here is a new one.
Post your ASoUE habits here.
-I often find myself using the phrase "entertain the notion." -I draw the insignia everywhere at all times.
I'm sure there's more, I'll have to think about it.

I find myself drawing VFD insignias, and oval eyes, all over things when I'm bored.
I watch crows very closely, and I sometimes caw at them.
I pick up random pieces of paper that drift by.

I make use of words and phrases from the books, quote them when I get the chance, read books solely because they've been mentioned in the series, watch for crows, draw V.F.D. insignias or eyes occasionally, and occasionally pick up random pieces of paper that I find on the floor.

-I find myself using phrases and words from the books in everyday conversation -I research the literary references alluded to -Whenever I see crows, I point them out to whoever's around -Every time the initials V, F, and D are used in something, I point them out

I use any words I can that Lemony defined in the books. I also use phrases from the book when occasion calls for them. I'm on patrol at all times for any VFD-isms. I doodle random insignias and eyes all over the place. If I see anything that seems ASOUE-related, my heart skips a beat from joy. I ALWAYS wait an hour before swimming. I am now officially addicted to peppermints (Or anything peppermint-flavored).

I draw eyes everywhere, use phrases from ASOUE, and am excited when anything related to ASOUE is mentioned (and especially when ASOUE is mentioned itself.

There have been two threads like this already, Weird Things You Do... and You Know You're Obsessed When... The Weird Things thread is still unlocked, but hasn't been posted in for a few months. Dante, if you think either thread should be locked, follow your judgement. -I write "VFD" on a lot of things, my ankle included. -I quote the books around people who've read them, to see if they know what I'm talking about (most often, they don't.) -I write coded messages to my friends, and hope they'll reply correctly (they don't.)

I know about both of those threads. A member asked me where to post weird ASoUE habits, and I told them that there was a thread already, and that I would look for it. I found it, and it hasn't been posted in since August. I asked Trish and Derik if I should tell them to post in that, or if I should make a new thread, and both told me to make a new thread. I would have asked you, SnicketFires, or Dante, but neither of you were online, unfortunately. Lock it if necessary, but I didn't want that person getting in trouble for bumping the thread if I told them to go ahead and post in it.

I PMed Dante but he went offline while I was typing. -I doodle the VFD insignia everywhere -I recently did a create-a-colony project in social studies and named my colony the Veritable Fellowship District (it was a port town) -I typed the rule NO ARSON in bold, capital, and underlined and he punishment was being burned at the stake -in the paragraph about why we named it the way we did I fading-color-coded in the words "The secret is Snicket" -on the list of different jobs and their descriptions I... ...put Justice of the VFD High Court and for the names of the Justices were anagrams of various ways to write my name (1st+last, mid+last, 1st+mid, & 1st+mid+last+Sir cause it's a colony) ...put Volunteer Firemen, wrote a lengthy paragraph about how they served the District and we couldn't survive without them blah blah blah all for the purpose of again faded-color-coding in the words "Secret passage in next building" and the very next words were Fire Tower -the District's symbol was the VFD insignia -(not to do with project) as I am not trusted to cook more I've taken to cooking less. In other words, I've developed an appitite for cold soup (my mom called me Aunt Josephine)

"...and I chased after every scrap of paper that blew by me, in hopes that it was page 13 of the Snicket file" Or something to that extent. Both Lemony and Madame Lulu (Olivia) make a reference to chasing after papers that blow by.

- I draw the insignia on any paper my grubby hands can get on, except a book. - I write notes using the sebald code and send it to my friend either by mail or by shoving it in the locker. - I watch the skies also. - I come up with different ways of communication when Sebald is not able to do it, such as writing song lyrics using the letter vfd in a row repeatdly.
