You /know/ your |addicted| to role playing when...

[whisp.]

I find these highly amusing and mostly true.
So,
Pretty simple, all you have to do is list some ways you know you're addicted to role playing.
The only thing I have a problem with is when you just comment.
If you participate, in that same post you can add what you think about other posts.
Just don't do a single post about how "true that totally is!"
Give us some juice!
=D

Without further wait....

You know your addicted to role playing when....

[whisp.]

--You see real people and realize how much they look like your characters.
--Your non-writing friends know who your characters are.
--You come up with plots during the day.
--OOC role plays come into play quite often.
--You start talking in third person.

[Poe]

When you:
---Are at the movies and make your friends get your writing buddy at one end, whisper your characters name, and then look back to the movie.
---Write posts in your head during (math) class.
---Annoy your boyfriend/girlfriend/friend about it at school during lunch/class.
---Get really excited about it and tell your family, even though they don't care...

:}
That's me.
All the way.

++Write replies during school for your free writing time in English
++Think of theme songs for your characters
++Whenever you see your character's play-by, you scream (INSERT CHARACTER'S NAME HERE) instead of (INSERT CELEBRITY NAME HERE)
++You name your pets after your characters (Like my turtles, Dorian and Dante THAT I GOT TODAY AT CHINATOWN ILLEGALLY! xD

==Create a whole Sims game based on your characters and the site
==Steal application post samples for you english poetry. xD
==Forgot you were doing homework
==Start drawing your characters non-stop, and when you're supposed to be sleeping

--when you're watching a movie and a role playing friend yells from across the room "Hey would -insert character name- do that?"
and you start explaining why he/she wouldn't/would. And when anyone else asks 'What?' you both laugh and say it's writing stuff.
=D

-- 'home work' is a myth when you get on the computer.

--you are actually saddened when your role playing pals log off.

--you get angry when people make fun of role playing.

--write out your life during the day in your head.

--when your proof reading others work in school and you want to rip out your hair, because for you it's illiterate and noobish.

[inspectorjavs]

note: these all have happened to me personally, some more than once. more than thrice. more than fifty times. uh.



!! you go to a birthday party when you're eleven years old and exclaim, "let's roleplay OUT LOUD! but have cool characters and don't be illiterate, okay?" (note: this didn't work out well, and everyone was really exasperated with me after about ten minutes.)

!! you have to restrain yourself from going up to some poor little red-haired, grey-eyed, freckle-faced girl in a Florida gift shop and asking if her name is Frances.

!! you write replies to roleplays in school, type them up in computer applications class, and e-mail them to yourself using the student e-mail program.

!! you get so excited when you find someone who likes roleplaying in real life that you can't stop squealing for a long time.

!! you come home from school and barely throw your bookbag on the floor before running full-speed to the computer.

!! one of your best friend constantly IM's you saying "STOP OBSESSING OVER YOUR FORUMS" because you haven't spoken to her in a half hour.

!! you consider naming your future children after your roleplaying characters. (first girl's going to be Celeste Lenore; if I have a boy, he's going to be Reuben Gabriel. muhahaha.)

!! when searching for pictures of your character, you accidentally type in your character's name instead of the play-by's.

...
okay, I need to stop now. (:

-You start dreaming you're on a sky ship after RPing too much Edge Chronicles
-You get withdrawal symptoms when your computer is away for repairs (TWO BLOODY MONTHS COLD TURKEY! Plus four using Ayu's...)
-You think that 3AM is a normal time to go to bed
-You start roleplays on Neo when you can only be on another hour
-You have more RP buddies than actual friends
-You throw a temper tantrum when your RPing account is suspended (Neo again, I'm afraid)
-You are torn between Dr Who and roleplaying (please note that non-Dr. Who-nerds will not develop this symptom. They will just roleplay.)
-You start writing AUs of your AU
-You could write any of your character's biography in rather more detail than your own
-To describe yourself, you write a third-person intro

And, in my case,

-You are upright, breathing, and conscious.

[whisp.]

--When you're out somewhere and you see the word 'clique' or 'pretty face' and try not to die from laughter.

--You see your characters name somewhere and do a double take.

--You enjoy naming your characters long, confusing names.

--You enjoy typing up applications. (To a certain extent)

--You spend hours trying to find your characters family.

--You hear songs that remind you of your character and you start laughing.

[inspectorjavs]

oh, I forgot the most important ones:

!! you dream that you are your characters. seriously. I've had various dreams where I'm Celeste (mostly when I was younger, though, when I used her in Harry Potter roleplays); where I'm Sycoran and Elenai, my medieval fantasy characters; one where I was Neera, my pirate; one where I was Fran; and several where I was Blaise, my cynical, sarcastic, supercilious, insult-dishing vampiress/assassin, for those of you unfamiliar with her. (those were VERY interesting, let me tell you. haha.)

!! you make up "music videos" in your head to any song you hear that revolve around, feature, or relate to your character(s) in some way. yeah. almost every song on my iPod has one of my "music videos" to go along with it. ^^;;


...
yeah, I need professional help.
xD

[whisp.]

-- When you hear songs on the radio that remind you of certain characters and you can't stop smiling cause your excited that it's 'their song'.

-- When you are taking a test and one of the questions has 'Dante' as an answer and you sit there and flip out for a minute before re-starting on your test.

-- During an exam you start thinking about the role play and characters and mess up writing the answers in. xD

-- You spend a day trying to find what -insert character- and -insert character-'s children would look like. (I did NOT do that. -cough-)

- You already have a daughter for a character and another character even if they haven't' started to date in the role play yet.

[Ayu]

-You fail tests because you spend the whole time coming up with a new character, including little sketches in the margins
-Even your fellow RPers are sick of hearing about the BRILLIANT time you had RPing with Jenn last night
-You spontaneously burst out laughing because somebody said a character's name in a strange context
-Half your books are filled with character sketches
-Your characters wander into stories you're writing
and
-You spend hours on TekTek going 'Hehe, another avatar~"

[justjenn]

~When you read these and realize how many you have unconsciously done.

~You feel ashamed by above fact.

~But you laugh about it anyway.

~And take relief in the fact that there are several other people in the world just like you. xD

[Ayu]

Hmph, how about:
YOU LOG INTO A COMPUTER WHILE ON A GEOGRAPHY FIELD TRIP BECAUSE YOU ARE GETTING WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS!

[Tsubasa]

I know this thread died but i don't care xD
--When you hear any song whatsoever you imagine your characters as a band preforming them. (Dante and Sapphire are the lead guitarists and singers, Damion's the base guitarist, Miles is the drums, and Taki is the keyboard/synthesiser)
--Whenever you meet someone who can write good, you try to automatically recruit them to a site
--You go on a rp site more than Facebook
--You spazz if there's a character in a book named your character, and now that's all you can think of them.
--You actually cry because your favorite rp site died (that's what I did when people stopped going on realms D:)
