1. You spend at least 4 hours a night on SL
2. You have gained weight and don't care
3. You probably don't wash as much as you used too or take any pride in your appearence
4. You don't see much of your RL friends, and only really interract with people at work
5. You neglect your Spouse, Kids and RL friends and don't care, because you have so many cool virtual buddies
6. You use the word noob and make fun of them, even though in RL they would be the ones who laugh at you
7. You have had a virtual wedding and really took it seriously, making your own vows in front of a virtual priest.
8. You have purchased a prim baby, gone through the pregnancy, had a baby shower and decorated the nursery (probably the saddest sickest one of all)
9. You have a really meaningful and inspiring quote in your profile that is really a message meant for the lover who has just left you.
10. This post doesn't make you stop and think about how sad your life has become because you really believe that SL is your life.

I bet you think you're original.
That's SO 1992. Just replace "SL" with "The Internet" or "AOL" or "Usenet". _____________________

Five ways I know:
1. My bank balance goes down 2. My frustration level goes up 3. My sexlife goes through the floor 4. My faith in human nature plummets 5. My friends somehow 'know', and I do care |

That first ten are meh.
The real way to know that you're addicted to Second Life is to start IDing people's hair and skin.... in RL. Oh yeah, and not even mentioning the times I've thought of alt-camming on something in RL and then having to correct oneself. It's terribly confusing, sometimes. |

Counting prims in your head when you see a build you like. See a huge person and think she needs to take that azz down a couple clicks. See a rolling countryside and think hey that looks like........(insert name of SL island) |

At the famous Brennan's restaurant in Houston, the first thing I thought of was "this room needs more prims". It really did look like it was built by someone being too stingy with prim count.

look for the TP to the upper floor. In SL, I'm more likely to cam up a floor and then sit on the nearest sofa. It's bit more convenient if the place isn't with cathedral-tall ceilings. |

This post doesn't make you stop and think about how sad your life has become because you really believe that SL is your life. I've actually become too lazy to snack. So, I've lost weight as a result of spending time in SL. =^-^= 2. Yes, I also have become .. . .well, not too lazy. I'm using my snack fingers to type. 3 - eww 4 - friends? what are they? 5 - spouse, kids, friends? 6 - I might use the word newbie to note someone who is new, and not laugh at them. I might use noob, I guess, but not to make fun of anyone. 7 - I've never attended a wedding, my own or anyone elses 8 - no 9 - I had one. I removed all information about self on forum. Not sure if it is still there in world. Just passed 1 and a half years. 10 - no again. As just reading that made me think about the issue. |

Oh, very early on I let someone know that I was ordained, and the next thing I knew I was being asked to officiate at a wedding. Let's just say that... as little preparation as I did... I found myself taking it much more seriously than the participants.

I found myself taking it much more seriously than the participants. It breaks my heart to see how lightly many people do take it. I suppose to each his own, their world etc. But it sucks and frankly makes me angry to see a wedding one week and poof the next. On the other hand, the idea of a ferret performing a wedding - that might be a wedding i wd attend... _____________________

On the other hand, the idea of a ferret performing a wedding - that might be a wedding i wd attend... I'd hire him. Ooops first gotta get a boyfriend. Seriously I agree Amara, I've never made it to a wedding but everyone I've missed, the people were divorced while I was still feeling bad I'd missed the wedding! lol. I do know a couple of couples, to be fair who have hung in there but they are rare. |
