You know you are addicted if...

If you find yourself at work during "downtimes" of business... and let your co-workers know how bad it's "lagging"...

--H2o

.....If you hear something funny and you shout out "ROFL" to your friends.

People start looking a little grey to you..........

....if you keep bumping into people and have problems taking a seat.

(i actually do this

...instead of squinting you reach for the ALT key and try to "zoom"....

...you drive by a very gigantic, luxurious and ornate [insert residence/business here] and say to yourself, "Dayum, I bet the taxes on that place are MURDER!"

-J

...you are constantly sizing up ordinary everyday objects in terms of the prims you would use to reconstruct them.

"Let's see...milk carton...1 long rectangle, 2 triangles, some slanted flat pieces...skinny rectangle on top..."

-J

... someone calls you by your real name and you wonder, "Who they are talking to?"

You desperately try to fly anywhere more than 20 yards away.

Looking around rl and wondering what you see around you, that you could make/ do as an event, in SL that hasn't ben done yet!

after being Sick RL wish you could trade places with your avatar so you could feel better and not be sick anymore.

... your head makes a jerky movement when you try to look at something at an odd angle.

You look at the half finished wall your painting and wish appling the texture was only a mouse cilck.... Then deciding you really don't like it, you can click back to the default. Or put the wall back in inventory and get the money back you just spent on the paint

You try to figure out some way to script your refridearator so when you say "beer me", a beer floats from the fridge and into your hands

default
{
state_entry()
{
v_my_pos = llGetPos();
llListen(0,"",llGetOwner(),"beer me";
}

listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
{
llSensor("Water Rogers","",AGENT,20,PI);
}

sensor(integer total_sensed)
{
vector v_water_pos = llDetectedPos(0)
llBeerMoveToTarget(v_water_pos,0.20); //nice and fast!
}
}

You see something move above your head and think it might be someone you know flying past...

...you remember the killer parties at Bel's House
...you remember when the Outland's bridge used to lay on the other axis.
...you don't ask "Zoli who?" and when speaking of floating castles you remember the largest floating castle SL has ever seen.
...you started SL you started in a newbie corral.
...you still own your original property that used to lie at the end of the world and now it is in the center of the contintent.
...you remember a time when you could fly for a long time and see nothing built.
...your first cabin was put on a mountain hundreds of feet in the air and it cost you nothing extra.
...every neighbor DID have a cabin built on a mountain hundreds of feet in the air.
...you remember the days of prims laying everywhere and talk of creating a sanitation department to take care of the problem.
...you remember a time when you could play for days and never see another person.
...you remember a time before voting machines.

BUT you know your addicted to SL if you can answer yes to all of the above and you are still around.

You spot a cute woman on the street and the first thing you think is that she would make a nice AV.

You look in the mirror and can't see your name tag floating above your head in RL

Please stop scareing me.....i can remeber all of those

Um... As opposed to looking at in mirror IW and seeing....?

You hold out your arm to try to reupholster and rearrange your living room furniture.

this is my first forum post by the way...
You know youre addicted when youve had the trial for approximately 20 hours and youve spent fourteen of them in game... made your first forum post have five avatars and are beginning to care less about the monthly fee just so you can get down to some serious modelling...
I am soooo hooked.

Rock on Spider! Glad to hear that and WELCOME!!
