How To: Be a Crazy Fan Girl

step one: figure out you like something (a celebrity, tv show, band, book series, youtube personality, etc.)

step two: figure out you really really like that something (we will assume for the rest of this how-to that the something is some kind of famous person)

step three: watch/listen to/read/look at everything that person has produced (writings, songs, videos, etc.)

step four: watch/listen to/read/look at anything involving that person that wasn't produced by them (fan fiction, fan art, pictures of them, other videos they were in, etc.)

step five: join the fandom (fandom (noun): a group of people on the internet who are also fan girls/guys/people of the something you are a fan of)

step six: set every wallpaper on every electronic device and social media site you have as pictures of them

step seven: make a blog specifically about that person just to post pictures, videos, songs, thoughts, and anything about said person (at this point you're not only aware of the professional side of this person but also about their personal lives, all their interests, any and all details about them)

step eight: spend all of your money on their merch (merch (noun): slang for merchandise)

step nine: start telling people that that person is the love of your life and that you will marry them some day because they are the most perfect human being

step ten: get mad at other people in your fandom for doing step nine (possible things to say: "that's funny that they think they have a chance with her when we were obviously made for each other", "i bet they haven't even watched all of her videos!", "no. mine.")

step eleven: start making references to things they said/did (especially around people who are not in your fandom and do not understand your references)

step twelve: start referring to this person as if you know them in real life because you honestly probably know more about them than their actual friends and family (ex: "The other day, Hannah was talking about that and she made this great point...")

step thirteen: if they make any kind of acknowledgement that you exist, cry. cry like a baby.

step fourteen: let your obsession spill over into every part of your life (ex: write a blog post for your precalculus class about how to be a proper fan girl)

And there you have it. You're welcome.
