I have laughed at many of these...but this morning on my Long Walk - over a mile with a recalcitrant Rottie in tow- I walked by a neighbor's house...the pool looked lovely as the sun was just coming up. There were two large balls floating in it, one light pink the other silverish... I thought - "Float" "Relax"... The dog is still laughing at me!

Ohh the Cherry Pie is a little bitter this morning...... :p


Meh ... ok ... when you not only wonder 'how many prims' in furniture shops, you are going up and getting fabric swatches and brochures ... to make textures.

Variation, done this morning: You look at an eBay auction (or any price) and automatically assume it to be in Lindens.

You have a strange numbing/tingling sensation in your butt cheeks from sitting in your computer chair too long...
You have now switched your computer chair for your nice recliner....
Your butt still goes numb and instead of logging off, you get on your knees and tilt your monitor down so you can see.
Sad, but true.

Also, you speed clean your house to make it look like you really didn't just sit at the computer all day.

When you take the time to show someone how to fill-in a paper form. You got those little boxes to mark with a pen the correct choice. You tell them "click here" as you point at the box.

Totally consumed, they reply "i tried alt-ctrl-del"

..when you find yourself looking at things in RL and saying "I have that exact thing in SL!".

..when you look at the mess in your house and wonder why you can't just Delete it.

..when you desperately want to Mute someone RL.

..when you find yourself wondering how to pull up a RL person's Profile.

You read each and every post in a 107 post thread, and still post the 108th....

.....when you log in to SL and actually get BORED because you have nothing to do really...since you've done it/bought it all..... and you actually WANT to get the F* away from the computer and DO something constructive in RL. There I said it.....ducking now...

Yup...and I've only been in since January. LOL

I've been on my laptop in a coffee shop, and have looked on my screen for my camera controls so I could pan around and see who's there without turning around...

Took me a half second to realize that wouldn't work...



...and all too guilty of determining how to get RL textures into SL - architecture is my downfall...I see it all as prims now...

Have you REALLY done it/bought it all? That's just SL jadedness so much as really seen all there is out there - there never will.

How about - knowing you're going to be at the PC anyway, applying for a job you can do at the same time!

I got another one...

When you stop 'shopping' IRL for clothes (a habit that used to be way out of control at times) because it is more fun to shop in SL and dress up your avitar in cool stuff you could never get away with wearing IRL. Seriously, it's happened. lol

I keep pressing the "Alt" key to try to focus in on office applications like Visio and PowerPoint - so I must have been in SL too long!

One I saw twice in another forum. Person asked about RL cost of something. TWO people converted that value to L$ and THEN exlaimed that the cost was too much!

I saw a girl in the mall wearing a white bomber style coat with large black writing on it and immediately thought "Missing Texture"
