1) Instead of putting your glasses on, you wait for things to “rez.”

2) You begin relating every day items to their Linden worth, “L300 for a candy bar?! That’s ridiculous!”

3) You’re tired of your second life, and are desperately seeking a third.

4) In the winter, you worry more about your personal prim-count.

5) You’re convinced the HBO show The Sopranos hired actors who only used the ‘Mobster’ AO and gesture set.

6) You snicker and point every time you meet someone named Ruth.

7) You think sitting in an office chair all day is the ideal camping location.

8) You look for a pose ball before you sit down.

9) Even your alts have conversations with each other.

10) Your constantly looking for griefers at the beach.

11) You reach for the camera controls to rotate and zoom in on a JPEG file that somebody sends you.

When having RL sex, you begin to talk like an Xcite attachment.

You try to offer teleports to your RL friends who live outside your area; you wait for them to sends as well.

You you phrases taken from your gestures (No, I do not Hooo! or Howlz!)

You look at RL objects and start figuring out how many and what prims are used to make them.

(done last weekend) You think that you could change exhaust smoke into bubbles with the right texture for the particles.

You refer to your RL partner by her SL name, and fail to understand why she's suddenly annoyed.

You cut your finger, you look at the blood dripping down and wonder why you decided to edit the floor prim.

You do that RL? Great! I'm coming round then baby! Nothing like some good bunching.

When you see beautiful things RL and think ... how many prims? maybe as a sculptie? why have I not tried to make a sculptie yet ... yeah do that tonight ...

And then walk into a wall.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

Godwin's Law - to close the thread? :-

You see a bunch of Nazis saluting and look to see what they are all editing/selecting.

Someone wants to hug you in RL, but you just stand there waiting for the animate permissions window to pop up.
