-You walk everywhere because you claim running is not implimented yet.

 

-You sit at school wondering what you are going to harvest.

 

-You day dream about killing rabbits, skinning them and making gloves out of thier furs.

 

(Okay so not very good but I have done 2/3 lol)

You go shopping for clothes or look at a magazine and ask yourself "Is my nexus high enough to wear that?" (I did that during school shopping)

 

You wish you could #beam me when your at school and hope you go home.

 

When a friend says/does something funny and instead of laughing you -in your mind- picture a lol and your right-hand ring finger twitches a lil bit.

When your invited to a friends house or you invite a friend over - you consider it PVP.

 

Before you go to sleep you want to give Gossip the 'remind' command for you in the morning.

 

You mentally call yourself by your character name (like conavar does).

 

You don't want to do yard work because your scared you'll hit a radon pouch.

 

Finally, You know you play EL too much when you turn on the TV/radio or read the newspaper to see if theres a 'special day' today. (I'm having trouble with this one the most LOL).

:omg:

- You find yourself saying "yaaaaay" in RL all the time and throw up your arms to resemble \o/

Oh god, I actually did that yesterday. However, as I play EL much less now than I used to, I'm finally free of actually thinking in acronyms.

 

- Being AFK on the phone and dropping it when you see an invasion warning. (How do you explain that to your aunt?)

- You have to restrain the urge to talk about things once considered 'normal' in the Corpus Opis guild chat.

- You have actually altered key.ini to suit your preferences. (Honestly, how many other people have actually done this?)

- You set logrotate to manage your chatlog.

- Finally, (Maybe unique in my case? Any other moderators/former moderators do this?) after moderating the newb channel, and only the newb channel from Jan '04 to Feb '07, I often find that I have typed 'Topic, please.' on IRC.

 

EDIT: Another which once occurred to me, maybe a year ago: Almost saying 'inv' to a clerk.

Here in germany the number plates of cars have a structure like this:

 

[city code, 1-3 letters]-[1-2 random letters]-[a 1-4 digit number]

 

And you know for sure that you should stop playing EL when you see NC, FE, WS, DP, EL, GP everywhere when you should better drive your car and have a look at the traffic :omg:

 

Same if you stop walking and look at a white rabbit and think why you just stop there and look at that white rabbit...

 

When you find yourself thinking in any situation, how much red wine you have at home. That may be a sign of that you have problems with or without alcohol, but if your 2nd thought is, how many sunflowers and rose quartz you have at home, you should really think, whats wrong :o

 

Listening to the hourly beep of your digital watch and think at once "omg, what to harvest now".

 

Being at a flower shop and *trying* to buy some flowers for your gf/wife/mother/auntie/etc an thinking about for how much you can sell them to other players.

 

Going to a shop to buy some nails and screws and come back with a good load of pickaxes and leather gloves.

<edit>

 

when you ask someone where he is so you can buy something from him and he's at c2 and you're on c1 and you tell him that's a long walk and then you say : aah well I'll come I need to stretch my legs anyway :rolleyes:

- Your shirt / pants / boots fall in rags as you step on a small spider.

 

- You try to rotate the camera to see behind furniture without moving there.

 

- Your house is full of raw materials, ores, flowers, tools.

 

- You always and only sit cross legged.

 

- Your normal reaction upon seeing a rat is to kill it and keep the tail.

 

- While tending your garden, you suddenly find yourself teleported in your neibour yard.

 

- You try to heal wounded people at a distance.

 

- You plan a trip in the Himalaya because you're convinced you can take on the yeti all by yourself.

Some not so funny things :P (many repeats)...

 

Yes, when your friends in messenger can see "kailo is typing a message" because you hit '

 

When you decide to re-type a line in messenger and close the conversation because you hit ESC

 

Yes, when you cannot express your joy except in the text "lol :D" which is silly spoken, so you just say nothing

 

When you can't run anywhere

 

When you have to sit in a meditating posture to mix yourself a sandwich

 

When you think it would be cool to wear a black cape

 

When you go camping and don't help feed the campfire unless the branches are in one handy pile and, staring into the campfire, reminds you of Oblivion

 

When you are joking in a conversation; so you make an ":P" face, looking very silly :P

 

When you are enjoying being with friends, you sit also in meditation posture, apparently emotionless...

 

When you meet a friend and almost say *hugs*

 

 

 

Tho some of these seem like extremes, almost all are sadly true...
