Are You Obsessed?

Do you stay awake at night wondering how Quinn could be considered so fashionable when she wears the same outfit every day? Do you secretly wish death upon Tom because you feel Trent and Daria are meant to be together? Do you have Glenn Eichler's home phone number on speed dial? Well, then slip off your combat boots, set down your paintbrush and turn off your 'Backyard Boys' CD, cause this is the place for you. Find out just how obsessed you really are.

Now, tally up your score. Add all your points together, then check the categories below to see how you did. If you find that you've scored HIGHER than 40, please get your head examined as soon as possible.

1-10 -- Fan: You like the show. You even LOVE the show. But you don't LIVE the show, and that's the difference between being a "fan" and being a "fanatic." Way to go for keeping your wits about you and realizing that it is, after all, just a cartoon. Congratulations! You're not clinically insane!

11-20 -- Fanatic: You've probably gotten some strange looks from people because you dress like the characters, but your behavior is held in check...barely. While you are a bit "over the edge" at times, your actions haven't hurt anyone (yet). Just watch yourself. You could go at any minute!

21-30 -- Freaky: You have now entered the "danger zone." Your obsession is out of control. An entire month away from anything Daria-related is probably the best medicine (maybe even a year for those at the high end of this category). If that doesn't work, hit yourself over the head with a baseball bat a few times. You'll feel much better.

31-40 -- Freaking crazy: Restraining orders mean nothing to you. You are camped out at MTV studios 24-7 on the off-chance you might catch a glimpse of one of the characters from the show. You sneak into the building and search relentlessly for Daria's dressing room, unaware that, being a 2-dimensional character, she doesn't have one. You are one scary person, my friend. Seek help...immediately!
