Ross:
You know you are a Noir fan when:
You begin shopping for throwing knives in the Coldsteel catalog
You search the net for Mirielle's scooter to find out how hard it would be to tote upstairs.
You listen to the OST while on the forum.
You actually know the names of all those secondary characters the girls kill.
You watch the part in ep one where Kirika does the knife reversal, then go to your kitchen to see if you can do it.
You get a strage urge to pick grapes.
You bid over $400USD on the Noir pocket watch, even though it doesn't play music.

Syndeyliza:
You change your Spanish name to Mireiya even though you've been going by another name that's suited you perfectly fine for 3 years...
(If only I took French... Sad )
you actually consider trying to make an audio file out of each episode so that you can listen to it in the car/on the bus...
Faceless Minion:
you know all the episodes and their japanese titles by heart.
- you have the fansub scripts stored on your harddisk, refer to them often, and know about most translation mistakes in them.

In a clothing store, you take something of the rack to study it thinking "Mireille wore one like this in episode 2", and people stare at you since you're male.

SwordSkill:
-you make your own noir wallpaper and print it out and stick it as the cover of your notebook binder which you carry around the university, the way swordskill does. XD XD
Mitaralu:
You start experimenting with wearing an off-center ponytail like Chloe's. *crap, my hair's too long!*
You start trying to wear a braid like Altena's. *crap, my hair's too short!*
You start talking as little as possible, and as softly as possible as well.
You say "...Bonjour?" whenever you answer the phone.
You're scared of nuns.
You've taken a liking to visiting cemetaries.
You really, really want one of those Grecian-looking outfits that Chloe and Kirika wear. (I really would like one of those, except with a bit of a longer skirt!)
You visit Paris for the sole purpose of hunting down Mirielle's apartment; you're still in the process of finding the Manor.
You've buit a hidden staircase in your basement, complete with bubbling lava pit.
You're mistrustful of any large man with an accent.
When you die, you want "Never mess with a Sicilian!" to be engraved on your tombstone.
You've memorized the opening song. (I have done that, actually! ^ ^Wink
Your new favorite phrase is "tadaimasu".
You still break down and sob bitterly whenever you see episode 25, even though you've seen it a billlion times. (Yes, that's really me. Crying or Very sad I guess that's the mark of a good show, though, when a scene still has an emotional impact on you no matter how many times you see it)
Section 8:
You know you're a really, really stupid Noir fan when...
...you conduct a colour analysis of each title character and conclude that Chloe = green + purple = walking talking stabbing grape of wrath.
And then realize that actually works.
And then, an hour later, you re-read this post, and, recalling how your father nearly burned down the damn house yesterday by not noticing that the stew was on fire (despite the fact that half the house was full of smoke), conclude that Mireille = red + black = barbequed tomato and Kirika = white + blue = blueberries and cream (OR blueberries with a bad case of mold).
Me:
-You're so desperate to get that screenshot of Mireille begging for Kirika's life that you take a Polaroid picture of it, then when it turns out badly scam it and paint over it in a paint program. (It's not the same, but I think I did a pretty good job)
-You decide you need a haircut because your bangs make you look like Altena. (As soon as I get the money...)
-You decide to get your hair cut like Kirika's. (Me!)
-When a coworker tells you her daughter got her hair cut into a bob and dyed it deep purple, your first questions were "does it flare out on both sides?", "Does she have a little ponytail in the back?" and "she wouldn't happen to like green cloaks, would she?" (yes I am insanely guilty of this)
-You get your hair cut like Kirika's and are immensely happy when people tell you you look like her. (Guilty)
-You carry around a picture of Kirika to show off to people expressly for this purpose. (It's in my purse right now)
-You're so envious of Mirage and Blue Jackal you can't see straight because they can cosplay Noir with each other and you only have yourself. (Poor poor me...)
--While watching Beyond The DaVinci Code on the History Channel, you hear about ancient, secret French organizations and every time the narrator tells you their name you yell "Les Soldats!"
--While watching The French Revolution on the History Channel, you start thinking *that* was Le Grand Retour
--You go to your local skating rink and replace all the moles in the Whack-A-Mole machine with nuns.
--You create a new word for your new hobby: Noirbombing (kinda like <a href="http://www.everything2.com/?node_id=1691050">glamourbombing</a>.
--After Blue Jackal wrote "our forces are growing" in your LJ, you think about for a while and you realize it sounds an awful lot like you're a cell in the middle of Jesusland and the Noir fans are trying to become the world, so you create a network of fans called Les Noirdats. (I haven't created it yet *hint hint to anyone who wants to*)
--A customer talks badly about Women's lib women, you stare darkly at them, then someone says something about you about to snap on them, and you can imagine going Dark Kirika on them.
--You're horrible at remembering dreams, but you remember every bit of your Noir dreams, right down to how happy Kirika felt skipping along destroying the Central Computer (I remember the vast majority of my dreams, by the way)
-You hijack the church choir and make them sing a rousing rendition of Salva Nos (hmm wonder if anyone can get that into a hymn book...)
-You salivate over the Nadesico movie once you find out Hillary Haag, Shelley Calene-Black, Tiffany Grant, AND Monica Rial do voices for it.
Shigan:
- You actually made your own Kirika plushie (yes...).
- You yourself are an asian (short) and your friend is an european (tall, blond), after watching Noir upon this realization, you went "OMFG!!!"
Blue Jackal:
As for the topic of you know you're a Noir fan when...a couple things happened to me today.
1)
I work on a ferry and when one bunch of passengers boarded today I was slightly alarmed to see...a group of nuns! Laughing I made sure to have a quick glance to see if I could spot any signs of golden guns. Laughing
2) The ferry has little TV screens dotted around the lounges which show adverts for local attractions. One advert is for an event where kids can come and meet Santa...and in one shot Santa pulls out a watch to check the time.....OMG!!! Mirielle's pocket watch!! Shocked Razz
You know you're a Noir fan when yourself and Mirage have an MSN chat about Noir and realise you can't read the text because you're both wearing the Noir decoder glasses! XD
Janus:
you want to pick up a cello and play "Canta per Me" and "Salva Nos".

M&K&C are your favorite female anime characters.

wonder if Breffort really (secretly) favors Mirielle and Kirika as Noir

wonder what Breffort was thinking when he closed his eyes after Mierelle walked off at the end.
wonder what the death count was for "The Unsoled Story"
wonder how many socks bit the Houston, Texas dust (the location for ADV films in the USA) (used for filming
ou want to cosplay as Breffort so you can have fun with K, M, & C!
Mirage:
You father cuts a prong from a three-pronged fork for you, and you immediately cheer up, jump around and squeal because you have a two-pronged fork of your very own. ^_^;
UNtrue Noir:
-You replicate Kirika's ID card
-You replicate Chloe's throwing knives
-You and your friend talk about your love for Chloe
-You make a Noir T-shirt
-You write "Noir", "Shin no Noir" or something like that on every margin of papers in your notebook
-You get a customized dogtag that reads Shin no Noir and everyone says, "Shin noh noyer? What's that?"
-You draw a doujinshi based on ZelasMetallium's fanfic Twist of Fate Change of Heart and you work on it every night but seem to get nowhere past the cover page. ^^; (I got better ideas the more I thought about it)
-Anywhere you go everything reminds you of Noir and you smile.
-You lock yourself in your room to isolate yourself from your friends and society just to go to oyasumi.nu and post stuff like this.
You print out and memorize all the Noir songs for the piano. And you even figured out some of the piano parts for the ones you couldn't find. (I listened endlessly and finally got the ending for Colosseum and I'm proud. XD) But this just really shows how much of a life you don't have.
-You try to develop a deadpan stare and realize it won't work because all your friends think you're PMSing, but you still do it anyway.
-You watch other anime shows and notice how many of them have a scene where there is a side view of a character while they hold up their hand and start to cry.
- At one point you wanted to become an assassin and your mother worried.
-You start thinking what it would be like if you were one of Noir's targets..
-And as a result, you miss half the notes for history class.
-You develop the fascination of pointy objects and start to poke your hand with them. (but not hard enough to break the skin)
-You sit at a restaurant and pick up the knife to check it's sharpness, then your father tells you to stop and you don't. (same thing with fire)
-You tell yourself Chloe's still alive.
-You plan to cosplay as Chloe and convinced your mother to let you use her money.
-You plan to get hazel contacts (or whatever color they are) to help with your Chloe cosplay.
-You realize just how sexy Mireille actually is.
-Watch Madlax and think, "Yes! Chloe lived!! XD", but also cry because two of your favorite characters died. T_T
-You count how many shots K&M fired throughout the series.
-You count how many people K&M killed throughout the series.
-You lose track at about 500.
-You wonder how much Chloe spends on hair spray and gel to make her hair look like that.
-You think about how many years it took for Altena to grow her hair that long.
*-You wonder what Chloe's last name is then dream about it that night. And somehow you come up with Chloe G. o.o (That's what happened..there was a narrator in my dream. He went, "Just who in the world is Chloe G.? No one may ever truly know.")
*-You base ALL your school projects on the show. For example, my works:
-A bag pattern for home ec = the Noir wallpaper I made from a while ago. The pockets are the chibified versions of the 4 main characters
-A book report = Noir fanfic
-A picture depicting a memory = Ep. 25, where Chloe collapsed
-Binders = more Noir wallpapers
-Spanish project = K&M as the background of the paper
-A memoir story = Your somewhat in-depth opinion of Noir. (I had to do it over though. My teacher said it had to be about ME
-_-")
-A HypterStudio project for typing class = the summary of Noir, complete with the music, gunshot sounds, ANOTHER wallpaper you made, seiyuu info, character info and the "Pledge to Noir" (ep. 26)
I have no idea who this is:
You're about to go to sleep when you think of a Noir-related theory, and although you're insanely knackered, you force yourself out of bed to write it down before you forget it. Despite writing it down, it's the first thing you think of when you wake up. XD
Eclectic:
When you watched the whole series (when you first got it) in a week, then regreted doing so because all of a sudden it ends.
Mirage:
-- You're sat in a seminar at University, and are handed a photocopy of a poem. The edge of the photocopy shows book pages. You spend the seminar writing: 'Le Noir, ce mot désigne une époque lointaine le nom du destin...' (and so on). XD
Deathbringer:
-when all your plants were growing but after your holiday they were all dead ´cause the man who carried them is called "Albert Doux" ..( I´m confused by knowing him.. didnt I killed his brother ..now.. there wasn´t an "o" in his name....)
-you already know nearly all Noir versions in every spoken language..
-there is no reason to fight with words if you have a dagger in your cloak *^_^*
-you´re starting to forget that oyasumi.nu is your favourite page in internet only ´cause Noir becomes sendet on online Tv stations Very Happy
Fallen Angel:
You know you are tue Noir fan if you after making your first AMV get one idea after the other.
