You know you're spending too much time "in-world" when...
(inspired by Jauani Wu's Rl vs. Sl thread)
You explain to everyone in RL what "RL" means...
You go for a walk and notice how well-rezzed-in everything is...
You start to dance in public anywhere, anytime, when you hear something good with a beat...

You build a replica of the town where you work in SL, and then get annoyed that there are so many people on the streets in RL.

You go for a walk and notice how well-rezzed-in everything is... You start to dance in public anywhere, anytime, when you hear something good with a beat... You jump up in the air and for some reason don't fly. You decide to sit on the couch across the room, but get confused why sitting on the floor didn't make you teleport. You touch a book cover and wait for the notecard. You get all excited that someone will pay you 20 cents an hour to DJ at their club. You strip all your clothes off in the club and wonder why you got kicked out. You try with all your might to Cam around walls. |

So... what sort of work do you do where you work in an alley? I code in alleys and on rooftops. I find them inspiring. _____________________

You wonder why getting things out of boxes is so easy.

When you're on the dancefloor at a RL club and tell the girl next to you to click on your head.

You see a guy on the street wearing jeans and a polo shirt with a stripe on it, and you think "N00b."
That happened to me the other day. _____________________

You're coming out of Denny's, you notice the brickwork on the church across the street, and you catch yourself one breath away from saying aloud, "What a great texturing job!" (did that a few months ago)
You're driving home from SLCC, you notice an overturned orange construction barrel with an octagonal base, and you keep waiting for it to snap from an octagon to a cylinder as you get closer. (did that last week) You're in a hotel, and you find yourself admiring the architecture because you have a thing for nice hotels, but you catch yourself thinking, "looks good, but way too prim-heavy". (also last week) You find yourself picturing the alpha channel for every flat, non-rectanglular object you see. (do that all the time) _____________________

I realized my motivation for carrying my phone has changed to being ready to take pictures of textures i encounter. And then of course, there's the dreams... |

You understand the benefit of "no-prim" hair. You bemoan the absence of "physics". You find the Alien look attractive. _____________________

nothing is copy and everything is trans
sitting down in a firefight does NOT help u are prepared for your car to sink into the road every block you cross when deciding whether to try new positions, you check your finances to see if you can afford it whenever you see more than 40 or so people you get scared the sim is gonna crash you expect an escort to spend 30 mins with you for 20 cents gravity bums you out When you see pics of Philip at SLCC and realize he looks and is dresses exactly like his avatar _____________________
I have of late--but wherefore I know not--lost all my mirth, that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory, this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.

You obsess on how well sl details match rl... (see below) You finally learn what "cyber" means online (o... m... g...)... You wait for people to leave the computer room before dressing your avatar for the evening... How come the lamp globe on the brick wall is above the mounting post in the Alley-Real.jpg and below it on the Alley-VR.jpg? _____________________

When you're in SL, and a green dot appears near you on the mini-map, and you look over to that side of the room in RL expecting to see someone.
