1. You are asked your name in RL and say your characters name
2. You drop stuff and expect it to autoreturn
3. You look up and expect to fly
4. You have memorized all of the Linden's first names
5. You use the term inventory to describe things you carry around

You attempt to reduce graphics settings in hope that your eyes will give a better FPS rate.

You routinely wear no pants and just assume nobody else has 'Highlight Transparent' turned on.

Your foreplay routine consists mainly of asking your S.O. if it's ok if you 'animate' them. You have large cardboard buttons labeled 'yes' and 'no' for them to pick.

You are playing a video game and you have an impulse to copy, buy, or modify objects in it and are disapointed that you can't.

Or when the same thing happens in RL....

You remove and discard all but 30 parts of your car.

Unless you're really cool, then you just attach the rest to your lower left leg somehow.

When your driving to work , get stuck in traffic and think... teleporting would be quicker.

When you are laying in bed thinking I should try and build __fill in the blank__ instead of sleeping.

When you look at your real life partner first thing in the morning and think thier avie is sexier when they first log on then they are irl. *friend of mine who plays sl told me she took one look at her fiancee the other morning and thought that and giggled*

You fall off a tall building and get really annoyed when it doesn't work out so well for you.

When you secretly upgrade your supposedly tamper-proof work computer so you can launch the client and alt-tab back and forth instead of doing actual work.

you try to do a backflip after someone compliments you, but stop suddenly when you realize you can't actually DO a backflip.

You see a billboard for women's shoes and think, "Wow. Nice Prim shoes!"

You try to change your "camera" angle in other computer programs.

You dream about SL.

You look at a house and wonder how many Prims is has.

When you look at people's hair and wonder how many prims there are.

When you stop dead-still in the middle of the sidewalk to try to see if you can figure out how to build a nice building out of prims, and how you'd go about getting the molding.

When you see someone with no fashion sense and think "n00b".

*blush*

Just to save you all the trouble of trying it, "changing camera angle" is not a feature of Microsoft Word.

This one time I went to the preopening of a restaurant, and the first thing I thought was "Wow, I could totally build this restaurant."
