10) You don't have a clue where your children are, but you sure know where to find The Edge Nightclub

9) You only use Depends because the RL/SL Toilet won't Rez.

8) You can only communicate in RL using IM.

7) Your monitor is mounted on the floor under the bed with a face-sized hole cut in your mattress so you can party all night at the clubs.

6) You traded in your Viagra pills for a night with an AV on the pole.

5) All your friends are located in-game.

4) You experience withdraw symptoms if your out of game for more than 5 minutes.

3) You're trying very hard to get your dog to type "IM me for TP".

2) You have multiple AVs, because you want to watch yourself having sex.

1) When you need an espresso from Starbucks, your running a (FIND) so you can TP there.

TOP 10 REASONS I'VE REALIZED I'VE PLAYED SL TOO MUCH:

10. I cannot find the prim count for my RL house

9. I shut off all the lights in my RL house because I'm concerned about lag

8. I talk endlessly at my RL job about how shitty the L$ is doing on GOM

7. I try to rate-mine my co-workers

6. I go to RL clubs and say, "Nice Av"

5. I look for my inventory folder after work to rez my car

4. I talk to my friends about Alby as if he's a real person

3. I translate RL supermarket prices into L$, based on GOM exchange rates

2. I fret more about the SL money supply than the ramifications of RL outsourcing

1. I walk around proclaming my land barron status to my co-workers

You're playing too much SL when.....
01-21-2005 11:30
1. You're frustrated you can't "right click" strangers and view their profile.

2. You wonder why you can't fit large objects, like houses, in small boxes.

3. For 3 seconds you try to fly before you realize you'll have to use the stairs.

4. You don't realize that you don't have to purchase new gestures.

5. You look at clothes that don't fit you because "These would look great on my AVI!"

6. When asking people about their haircut, eyes, or skin, you have resist asking people "did you make it yourself?"

7. You nearly ask for TP while on the phone.

8. You offer a girl your bracelet when she says "Oh I can't dance to this".

9. Days seem rather long with only 1 sunset.

10. You model yourself to walk and look more like your AVI

11) In RL, you say "LOL" instead of just laughing at something funny.

You actually get to go to an RL club? Does it lag?

When you desperately want to alt-click to zoom in and read someone's bumpersticker in traffic.
Bonus points if you do the keystroke on the steering wheel before you realize how irrelevant the action is. ;)

That happens to me a LOT.

Also-
You find yourself looking around the house and mentally building it in prims. :p

I look for the zoom button and camera controls ALL the time in RL now, so I completely know this one!

And, after several days of looking for non-platform Prim shoes in SL, last week I saw a billboard in RL for shoes and said to myself, "Oh look, Prim Shoes! Are they platforms?"... and THEN tried to explain to RL friends and family why this was so funny... they didn't laugh.

Haha! I haven't even been in SL that long and whenever I watch Trek in the morning, I always find myself doing the Ctrl+Alt when I want to change the camera angle.

Find myself looking in SL stores for RL presents I need to buy :eek:

Find myself wishing I could attach a hoochie hair prim to my head on a bad hair day;

Check the SL events list for my real life schedule;

Sit down in SL to relax when I feel tired in RL.

Great posts :)

I say lol in RL now, which confuses everyone. The other day I bent my knees at an open window ready to fly out. I've also looked at a RL plant to see how many prims were used.

I'm less than 2 months old in SL. Heaven knows what I'll be like after a year or more.

I am less than two months old, and the most disturbing thing is that I am now looking at everything architectural or decorative in terms of prims.

I saw something new on a house in my neighborhood and immediately wondered how many prims it took.

Then I came home and looked at my own house and thought, egad, MILLIONS of prims!

Last night I was watching Clean Sweep and the hunky carpenter was building a table. Immediately, and automatically, I calculated the prims. Seventeen. For a simple table. He had made each leg out of four pieces of lumber, as a hollow square. What a waste of prims, I thought.

I'm ruined.
