...you find yourself programming in LSL at work...
...LOL'ing at people in RL... ...looking under the hood of your car with the intention of finding out which part of your script you need to tweak.... ...telling people you like the texture on their outfit... ...wondering why you can't move an object towards you by pointing at it with your hand and holding down CTRL... ...feeling quite relieved when you return from AFK that you haven't been bumped off world or hung on the gallows by Siggy... Edit: ...oops. only one per post. sorry. Must read the posts before posting a response... (but then that wouldn't be in the spirit of forums, now would it?  )_____________________

....when you look at different buildings in your city, and wonder what is the most efficient way to represent them in SL with the fewest primitives.

..... you wonder why you can't fly simply by typing f on your pda
..... you wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and wonder where the blue mohawk went ..... you get upset when the bumping script you have won't work on annoying coworkers. _____________________

... you wander up to strangers in the street, plant your feet apart, stick your hands on your hips, and say "Hi, hows it going?"
I would just like to say, I'm not addicted to SecondLife. I can give it up anytime I want... ...I...just dont want to, ok? |

I'm not joking here...
You flip off the computer after a 15 hour SL marathon and look toward your bed, and the pair of words crosses your mind: "anim sleep" =D |

This is true.. happened to me last week *blush*
...when your husband tries to wake you up and you keep trying to give him instructions on building a vase, how to twist it, and how to texture it. You even yell at him that he should not be so rude while a class is going on.... He has now officially retired from trying to wake me up after a night of SL. lol... so yeah.. I'm addicted. _____________________

(anyone know of a 'quiet' brand of keyboard? ) LOL No idea here -- I'm one of those people who can make even a Dell QuietKey sound like gunfire. Your computer's in the same room as your housemate? _____________________

I alt-zoom in other programs, although I can't say I ever tried it on T'Pol... although one time I DID want a better look at a Zhindi ship. *sigh* _____________________

You know you're addicted when you see a baby and think, "newbie...."
When you look at a detailed statue and marvel over how much it must have cost to rez it. _____________________

You know you're addicted when....
...you are describing to a friend the fantastic poetry reading you attended and suddenly it dawns on them that you are talking about something that happened *in your computer* -- and not at your favorite coffeehouse downtown -- at which point they get that look of sorrowful pity on their face usually reserved for crack addicts and dogs that need to be put to sleep.... _____________________

... when you say "Oh, I can't go out to dinner tonight, sweetie - there's a show at the art gallery" and, even though he KNOWS you mean an art gallery in SL, he's given up fighting it and just settles in to watch hockey.

...after years of waiting, you finally get a beta invite to City of Heroes but can't seem to find the time play because you're too busy trying to figure out which prims can go mid-January and which absolutely must stay!
(Side note - no, I didn't get my beta invite yet!) |
