Welp, I've finally gotten to the point where there's so much Touhou music in my iTunes that I can't even sync up my iPod anymore.

Touhou music is the most music I've ever had on my computer, if I look at my folder it says I have about 52 hours worth. I set my music to random everyday and I sometimes have yet to hear some of zuns works for days.

If you like reading and care for actual Japanese Folklore aside from moe-fied and westernized version that Touhou presents, i suggest that you check out the works of Patrick Lafcadio Hearn, alias Koizumi Yakumo, in particular Kwaidan/Kaidan, a collection of Japanese Horror stories. They are a good gateway for those not overly familiar with far-eastern folklore, and even for the Japanese they are a good compilation of legends from all over the archipelago.

The man, ofcourse, is himself an inspiration for Touhou, with many characters' archetypes arising from within Kwaidan itself. From his Christian and Japanese names, we get the names of two, allegedly interwined Touhou characters.

I am very interested where can I find these?

I do this all the time, the odd part was I ran out of memory because for some reason it made Yuuka's theme twice the size... like 2 gb size...

Yuyuko's, Koishi's, Ran's, and Eiki's at the moment. Still trying to find a good Tenshi hat for now.

Also, when you always plan your yearly schedules for Comikets and Reitasai, even though you only have little chance to be able to go there.

I saw a yuyuko hat before but a Eiki hat! Was that part of a cosplay thing?

When your phona is 90% full of touhou songs.

...when you start looking into how you could hook up a drawing tablet to your PC and use THAT to play Touhou. Seriously.
...when rainclouds forming overhead = "STAGE 1".
...when you walk down a long hallway with a lot of doors at your campus and start imagining it's stage 5 of IN.

I literally muttered "picchun" when I brushed against a student in the halls at the school I work at. And mentally slapped myself when I realized it!

...when you think of learning to weave wool amigurumis, make Touhou characters this way, and join a normal fair just to be able to sell them (no anime or related stuff store even near my home), meanwhile thinking that it'd be a total succees because all girls are cute and the kids would love them...

...when you have rain without clouds in your place and you think of Ran...

...when the curtain of your bedroom has the Dream kanji on it and you get reminded of Reimu or Youmu...

...when you ask your chemistry or whatever teacher about the cold fusion...

...when you relate any miko character with Reimu...

When you have officially made the 8 bit Rumia gif a running gag on your Youtube channel (from here on out, she will appear once a video)

When your Touhou RPs and OCs have started infecting your Let's Play channel.

When you're up until 4 AM or later RP'ing.

When you read all 8 threads, then register and read them all again just to see the images/attachments you couldn't view as a guest

When "9", "fairy" and "witch" always remind you of touhou

Sometimes I say "Ayayayaya."
An event at my school made me think of making a boss duo of a cheerleading youkai and a baton-twirling youkai in a Danmakufu game.
There were more but I forgot.

I watched Frozen yesterday, and yes, I did think of Cirno, but not until after Olaf losing his head made me think of Sekibanki. Also, the fact that the trolls' musical number suddenly breaks into a wedding made me think of IOSYS' Make Us Your Brides.

I read this BitF comic, but only recently did I imagine Pac-Man eating danmaku.

This and this are also relevant.

You know you're addicted to Touhou when you have pets named after touhou characters. I have a cat named Socrates :3. Also, i named my v-pets Nitori and Aya ,and nearly every pokemon I captured since i discovered touhou are named after one of the girls.

Not Touhou-related, but in my opinion, a dove named Archimedes would go very well with that! :V

I think he meant his own comment about the dove named Archimedes wasn't Touhou-related, not that the cat named Socrates wasn't.

In science class today, I was singing random Touhou songs. When I sang Utsuho's theme, a guy that was in my group seemed to finish it off. The succeeding conversation went something like this:

Me: You do know what that song is, right?
Him: Yes.
Me: Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion, right?
Him: Yes.
Me:

Holy crap, you know about Touhou?
Him: Yes.
Me: HOLY CRAP!

So after that, I asked his name. I hope to get to know more about him next time.

Edit: Listen to this song from the new Smash Bros. game. Don't tell me it doesn't sound like a certain extra stage boss's theme.
