...When you call all non-musical theatre music, "civilian music."
...When you're friends mention someone like Michael Buble or Josh Groban and you honestly think they just spoke French-because-you-have-absolutely-no-idea-what-they're-talking-about.

You buy a CD and follow this procedure: you wash your hands to ensure that you do not get hand greases on the case, upload it to your itunes, get it onto your ipod, put it the cabinet containing all your cast recordings in alphabetical order and touch it as infrequently as possible!!!

Stop worrying if your vision is new.
Let others make that decision-
They usually do.
You keep moving on.
Anything you do,
Let it come from you.
Then it will be new.
Give us more to see...

And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."

When you feel the necesity to own every Off, Off-Off and so off Broadway it's from L.A. show recording because the CD has the words ORIGINAL CAST printed on it. When you file your newest OFF BROADWAY CD and realize its alphabetical placement is right inbetween two other Off Broadway CD'S that are still sealed. When you consider creating a special "Off Broadway Cast" recording section for those very few off Broadway CD'S you've actually heard from beginning to end.

When I get a new CD, I find a special place for it on my nightstand just so I can see the pretty case all the time.
Once it has fallen out of my favor, it gets put in a stack with everything else. I just moved Chess away today because it was time to part with it, but I sort of want to put it back.

"You're obsessive when you can thumb through a rack at any store as quickly as Danny Kaye can recite Russian composers and know exactly which CDs you have/you want/you have no interest in ever owning."
TOO TRUE!

...you see a CD in a store that you know you own but haven't looked at the cover art in so long seeing it makes you miss it and makes you want to buy it again.
...when you look below the racks in Barnes and Noble where they keep the spare and extra CD's to make sure that nothing is there that you want.
