    Twilight when…

    ... you read it (the whole thing or just a scene) more than once.
    ... it’s all you think about.
    ... you throw a hyperfit when you see a silver volvo
    ... you want Bella’s truck so badly, you’d trade a Porche for it.
    ... you want to be a vampire.
    ... the covers of the books are your desktop, cellphone background, binder (plastic) cover, etc.
    ... you start thinking 80 miles/h is slow.
    ... you stalk the actors and actresses that are in the movie.
    ... you start to like/watch MTV again (bc of Twilight Tuesday)
    ... you go crazy when someone asks what its about, but you arent coherent because you’re distracted by the thoughts.
    ... you start loving the rain and cloudy days.
    ... you get gold contacts.
    ... you charge at someone who mentions something negatively to Twilight.
    ... you start doing chores and cooking dinners to be like Bella.
    ... you start being clumsy to be like Bella.
    ... you claim that you smell blood, to be like Bella.
    ... you make long lists like these. :)

    -You call your boyfriend Edward, forgetting that you’re not actually Bella Swan

    -Whenever someone is over at your house, and you get cereal, you say, “Watch me hunt”

    -You’re constatly talking/thinking about the difference between Edward and Jacob

    -Everytime you eat an apple you say, “Remember in Twilight, when…”

    -Everything you say is Twilight related

    -You ask your parents for a red Chevy truck from sometime in the late fifties to early sixties for your 16th birthday

    -Your dream vacation is to go to Forks, Washington.

    -You take an instant liking to anyone with the name Alice, Jasper, Edward, Emmett, Carlisle, or Esme. (notice how there’s no Rosalie ;])

    -You take an instant DISliking to anyone named Victoria, Laurent James, Aro, Demetri, Jane, Alec, or Marcus.

    When you are convinced every insanely good looking guy with pale skin is a vampire…. and you try to jump in front of a car to see if he will save you

    you raise your standerds in boys to sparkles in the sun, vampire, and hard as stone.

    When everytime you eat a red apple you think of the book

    when your standards for guys goes higher.

    someone says i own a volvo you turn your head

    Once upon a time… there was the greatest game ever made.

    Thief.

    I played it a little too much (sometimes I still do).

    How much?

    As you drive into the parking lot you find yourself examining the local grocery store for ways to break in. Yeah, a rope arrow just there…
    You remove all light bulbs from your home.
    The word “Taffer” is a permanent addition to your daily vocabulary.
    You start walking down back alleys on your way to and from work because there are too many lights on the main road.
    You quote hammerite scripture at church.
    It becomes very difficult to do homework because when you go to pick up your book it doesn’t glow…(same thing with doors, I haven’t been able to leave this room since I got Thief. Luckily the computer is in here)
    While attending a funeral, the crowd becomes horrified as you go to remove the deceased from the coffin and carry him down the hall. When the police officer asks you what the hell you thought you were doing, you calmly explain to him that you couldn’t allow the corpse to be laying out in the open for everyone to see.
    You drive with your headlights off, so that no one else will see you comming.

    Ah well… must just be me.

    Left 4 Dead, when you walk into an airport and the first thing you do (totally unconsciously) is start scanning the room for where the rush will come from, what areas to avoid, where you might be likely to find ammo/weapons/health packs… etc. I has also just completed Ravenholm at the time, so I was VERY jumpy!

    DragonFable, when anyone who dares so much as touch the computer on Friday nights is liable to get their hand bitten off. I’m waiting for the update, you fool! Leave me in peace!

    Red vs. Blue, when you see a guy with a shotgun and the very first thing in your mind is “Hey look, it’s Sarge’s shotgun!”

    You know you’re addicted to Wikipedia when…
    ...you see an error in a page and try to fix it, only to realize there’s no edit button.
    ...you never click on red-colored links because you think it means it doesn’t link anywhere yet.
    ...you try to add an edit summary to forum posts.
    ...you briefly consider homicide every time someone says Wikipedia isn’t a valid source.
    ...you’ve spent hours trying to track down a single reference online to cite an insignificant line of an article that you know full well doesn’t even need to be cited.
    ...you make it your goal in life to beat Cluebot to reverting vandalism. (I did it like twice!)
    ...you believe capital punishment is justified in the case of repeat vandals.
    ...your account has over 1000 edits in under six months. (or it just as 1000+ edits period!)

  12.  

    Empress, I assume you’ve seen the video where a falcon (or hawk) is used to take down a deer?

  13.  

    Thats a Golden eagle on that video, she is owned by a good friend of mine, he actually was my master falconer during the years I was still an apprentice. The whole thing happened about 30km from Prague:)

    You know you’re addicted to World of Warcraft when…

    • You punctuate your sentences with “FOR THE HORDE!!!”
    • You attack humans on sight.
    • You attack dark-skinned elves, dwarves, and gnomes on sight.
    • Conversely, you attack orcs, trolls, cows, and undead on sight.
    • You haven’t seen the sun since before the Burning Crusade.
    • You answer to your main toon’s name, but not your legal name.
    • Your legal name is your toon’s name.
    • You got married online in WoW to a person you’ve never met.
    • You look around for people with bright red lights hovering above their heads.
    • On a good day, you slaughter hundreds of furry woodland creatures…and wonder why they don’t respawn.
    • Or drop loot.
    • You wear patches and clothing corresponding to the toon you’re leveling.
    • You keep a sample of Corrupted Blood in your basement.

    You Know You Have Played Too Much Magic When:
    Most of them are just random references to cards, but here are a few gems:
    24)…you can no long afford your crack habit.
    45)…you think bounced checks are counterspelled. (Which is silly – everyone knows they’re Rescinded.)
    107)…your friends tell you to go see a Shrink and you say you already have one in a deck.
    138)…the IRS requires you to note the money you made selling your cards as taxable income.
    164)…A guy runs a stoplight in front of you, and you scream “HE CAN’T DO THAT! I HAD PRIORITY!”
    315)…you begin to learn how to differentiate between the colors of cards based off of the gleam in the opponent’s eyes.
    415)…you believe that cards can talk to you…and they do.
    427)…your friend says “main deck” and you don’t say, “Why in the hell are you talking about boats?”
    446)…you hear on the news about the Ephedra ban, and you check to see which set it was in.
    465)…your idea of hitting the clubs is finding the nearest comic shop and hitting on the ugly girls that, while ugly, play magic!
    734)…your jokes go something like: “Your momma such a fattie she’s 7/7 and has trample.”
    854)…you take a bullet to the arm rather than let it hit your magic deck.
    924)…you have a deep-and-meaningful conversation with your girlfriend and can’t help mentioning how many magic cards she’s named while talking with you.

    “That Vizzini, he can fuss.”
    “Fuss, fuss… I think he like to scream at us.”
    “Probably he means no harm.”
    He’s really very short on charm”
    “You have a great gift for rhyme.”
    “Yes, yes, some of the time.”
    “Enough of that.”
    “Fezzik, are there rocks ahead?”
    “If there are, we all be dead.”

    I believe the original was Batman and Robin.

    Well, I like Batman but Fezzik+Inigo is pure win.
