You KNOW you're obsessed with Coraline when:

You find your old printer, Print out the Coraline bookmark, print it out AGAIN because the first one came out bad, throw out the first one, retrive the first one from the trash because it came out better than the second one, uncrubmle and flatten the first one, cut it out, fold it, find your old stapler, find staples, take 20 minutes to un-clog all the staples in your stapler, put in the new staples, staple the top, mess up and re-staple the one on the bottom, then re-staple the top, staple the sides AND explain it all to your brother because you wanted the bookmark.

Guess what I did today...
