Fun Facts: Unaired Season Two!
Alex's Ways
You write a fanfic with or just create a new character
specifically for you to play if you were on the show.
You search for identical clothes and get an identical
hairstyle to one of the characters so that you look
like them.
You design a wedding invitation with your name and the
name of one of the actors or characters.
You start renaming landmarks in your town to fit the
show (i.e., you call the movie theater the Rialto, a
private hangout the ruins, a restaurant where you or
one of your friends work the S.S. Icehouse, etc.).
You scan yourself in with pictures of the cast and show
them to people, telling them that you are one of the
new cast members.
You write down every parallel inbetween your life and
the show and resolve problems by doing what the
characters do.
You watch shows on the WB for hours in hopes that
you'll get a glimpse of a commercial for the next show
or next season.
You rename your favorite pet after your favorite
character.
You visit Wilmington, North Carolina for no other
reason than you hope to see the set or a member of the
show.
After watching the first few shows, you started saying
"Bite me" ten times more often than before.
You purposefully try and get into Saturday detention so
that you can recreate scenes from the episode
"Detention" (formally known as "The Breakfast Club.").
You use one of the characters' names as a pen name or a
signature on your emails.
You tape and watch the episodes over and over until you
memorize every word of dialog so that you can preform
the whole season for friends and family.
You buy the new soundtrack to hear Katie Holmes sing
"On My Own" over and over and try to imitate it
exactly.
You stop whatever you're doing or leave wherever you
are to get the special limited addition Dawson's Creek
poster with a purchase at the WB store on Wedensday
October 7th, even if the nearest store is 3 hours away.
You reserve time to call up one of your friends each
week after the show to analyze it for at least an hour.
You suddenly find that you have started imitating
gestures that some of the characters do a lot on the
show (i.e., Dawson's look of obliviousness, Joey's half
smile), whether you meant to or not.
You realize that you have written enough fanfiction to
have written a novel.
You write a fanfic in the first person (taking the
perspective from one of the characters points of view)
just to make it easier to pretend that you are the
character.
You get so involved in a fanfic or an episode that you
start to think that you are a charcter on
Dawson's Creek, even if it's just a brief lapse.
Becci's Ways
You think it's weird that Joey from 'Friends' is a guy.
After all, Joey is a girl's name!
You check your e-mails daily to see if any fanfic has
been added to your fave pages.
You scream when scenes have been cut out. (UK viewers
know what I mean!)
You spend your sixteenth birthday camped out in front
of the TV waiting for season two to start!
You stare in the mirror for a full half hour because
your hair looks just like character's does.
You race home from work because Dawson's Creek is
starting in a few minutes.
You think it's odd for people's surname to be Dawson.
You plan on calling your first son James. (Or Joshua.
Or you first daughter Katie or Michelle)
You know the stars' birthdays off by heart.
You rent out 'The Breakfast Club', 'Pretty Woman' or
any other film that's had an episode named after it.
(by the way, why did they change it? We fanfic writers
can find titles, why can't they?)
You've bought all the books listed on Amazon's site
about Dawson's Creek.
You buy the Paula Cole album just to have non stop 'I
Don't Want To Wait'.
You suggest having a 'movie night' with your friends.
More than 50% of the e-mail addresses in your address
book are DC Related.
You want to go to Columbia, UCLA or similar because
Katie, Kevin or whoever went there or is going to go
there.
You live in fear that Katie will accept her deferred
place at college. What will happen to Joey?
You notice obscure things, like Joey wearing an outfit
that Andie had worn a few weeks earlier.
You read all these lists to see if you're obsessed.
You write one of these lists...oops! (Just in case you
were wondering, yes. I've done all of the above. And
the whole university thing is that much harder, cause I
live in England. And the hair thing? Well, I think
Monica Keena's hair is so cute. And my hair's the same
as Katie's).
You hear one of the songs played on an episode,
recognize it right away, and proceed to tell everyone
in earshot the episode it came from, what was going on
while it played, and a summary of the show. (<-- thanks
Lisa!)
Your vocabulary magically enhances without the use of a
dictionary (<-- thanks Juliana!).
You start quoting Dawson's Creek and all your friends
think you're going wacko. That is my insight to

Creek episodes (<-- thanks Twisted Fairy!).

Creek, British Columbia, Canada for a vacation (<--
thanks Donna!).

sexual fantasies.

the clothes on the show.

doing something related.

up with you talking about DC.
Wednesday night is holy and you can't plan anything
then.
You're still talking about the previous episode 5
nights after
it aired.
While your teachers are lecturing you about boring
things, you
draw pictures, think about, whisper about, etc. DC.
(<-- big thanks Katy for those ten!)
You take a self-paced class on the night of the show,
just so you can get home in time to watch.(<-- thanks
Mercy Q.!)
You start matching the casts names with your last name
to see how they sound for your unborn children.(<--
thanks Mercy Q.!)
You have written one or more letters to a cast member
just in the hopes that
they have in some way gotten in touch with something of
yours. So, therefore you have a "special bond" with
them unlike any other.(<-- thanks Lauren R.!)
You finish your final exam early and instead of
checking over your answers in the extra time since they
won't let you out of the class you draw up the set of
one of the places in Capeside and use your pens and
pencils as the characters to reenact a scene!!!(I
actually did this during my french exam last year with
the first scene from the premiere ep. My friends all
thought I was NUTSO !!!! *G*) (<-- thanks Jodie!)
You start referring to Wednesdays as "Happy Day"... And
you tell your friends if they call between 8pm and 9pm
on Wednesday they will suffer the consequences. (<--
thanks Leerygirl!)

thanks Natasha!).
You pretend to be married to a character, and write
