There once was an old Indian. His little grandson often came in the evenings to sit at his knee and ask the many questions that children ask. One day the grandson came to his grandfather with a look of anger on his face. Grandfather said, "Come, sit, tell me what has happened today." The child sat and leaned his chin on his Grandfather's knee. Looking up into the wrinkled, nut brown face and the kind dark eyes, the child's anger turned to quiet tears.

The boy said, "I went to the town today with my father, to trade the furs he has collected over the past several months. I was happy to go, because father said that since I had helped him with the trapping, I could get something for me. Something that I wanted. I was so excited to be in the trading post. I have not been there before. I looked at many things and finally found a metal knife! It was small, but good size for me, so father got it for me." Here the boy laid his head against his grandfather's knee and became silent. The Grandfather, softly placed his hand on the boys raven hair and said, "And then what happened?". Without lifting his head, the boy said, "I went outside to wait for father, and to admire my new...

These are entirely my thoughts, made up rules that I think should work as a scale for everyone to measure their levels of obsession with anything they are a fan of. If anyone believes that something needs to be added or changed, feel free to say so in the comments and i'll do what i can! The article focuses on tv shows mainly but can be applied to everything else as well. Also, I just want to point out, nothing is fixed. A fan can fall between level 1 and level 2 as well and still have an idea of what kind of 'obsession' they have! ^__^

p.s - If anyone thinks that the order of each level needs to be changed, like maybe they have reached level 5 but not found anything to relate to of level 3 its fine. Or if they agree to one part but not the other, it still means you're on that level.

Level 1: When you see a new tv show and like it quite a bit, including the cast and characters. You plan on seeing this series through till the end.

I probably will be repeating myself here so don't mind me, first of all I want to wish you a very Happy Friendship's Day!!! Its been 16 months since we met on Fanpop and the past year has been amazing as we got to know each other more than any friend I have, you're the only friend i have who's 10 days older than me!! everyone else is either a year older or more than 5 months or younger!! hahaha.... even so, 10 days difference does make you my big sister which is good for both of us cause you're already experienced in being the older sibling while i'm used to being the younger one!!

Its not really a very special day for both of us cause we tell each other everyday, "I love you for being my friend," or "I love you sis" but since it is Friendship's Day, I'm using it as a reason to just remind us that you're my friend, best friend, close friend, special friend and sister!!! hehehe!! Everyone knows how siamese twin-like we both can be and a lot of them already know that you're not just my best critic when it comes to reviewing anything i write, you're my no. 1 fan too!! anyone else who comes even close to that can't replace you because to me they all can be my fan no....
