When you watch long untranslated skating interviews in a language you don't know and hope you'll somehow magically understand what they're saying (I feel like at this point I should just give in and start taking Russian/Japanese classes...)
...when you see a newspaper headline saying "Papadakis aide says she is ‘collateral victim’ of Edek battle", and you automatically think "what has happened to Gabriella?!"
Turns out that the Papadakis that is referred to in the headline is a bloke! (It is the aide, who is the "collateral victim", that is female).

....when you're upset with the amount of events that took place in your life (parties, birthdays) that all seemed to be scheduled on the same day as skating competitions.
....when you look at the calendar at work, and realized the week of March 16th is 'open' on the vacation calendar, so you schedule that week off work, so you can watch the World Championships live.
I used to take vacation every 4 years to watch the Olympics. So: you know you’re a figure skating fan when you take vacation days to watch the Olympics.

... when people come up to you @ competitions or shows, asking if you are related to a particular skater. This has happened quite a few times.
Once, @ an SOI show, someone asked me if I was Todd E'.s mom! I was waving a banner (pennant) for him. :luv17:
