... you asked the furniture salesman what kind of poseballs come with the red sofa.

... the sole reason you take pictures of loved ones is to capture the texture they are wearing, sitting on or leaning against.

... you're constantly calculating the number of prims in your RL jewelry box/car/house.

... you threaten to mute your children/significant other if they don't stop griefing you!

... you bring in a picture of prim hair to your hairdresser and ask her to give you a color changing script to go with it.

... you wonder what the local Walmart's traffic score is compared to other local stores in your area. If they offered a couple Freebies, would it improve?

... you ask the handsome guy at the club where he got his skin.

... you see the jewelry bedecked woman at the grocery store and think, "Blingtard".

... you wonder, when your prayers are not answered, if God is a Linden.

Some of us at least know that behind all this banter, being addicted to SL is anything but a joke.

I adjusted it a little, but I've done that.

When you see these shoes:

And you're relieved that they don't come with prim feet.

**Bard Jameson** · 07-13-2009, 06:02 PM

When you look through a clothes catalog of stuff you can't afford in RL and think "I wonder if I can find that in SL?"

I once really, actually tried to take off, to fly up so I could look over a wall.

Oh and I once saw a guy in McDonalds wearing the freebie "Cody" skin.

Sim crossing

Rev Eponym · 07-13-2009, 08:11 PM

It's time to go home from work, and Ctrl-Shift-H isn't available.

I am sitting in corporate finance last night.

We are learning how to take advantage of differences in currency prices.
You use ratio analysis to determine whether arbitrage is possible.

If it is, our instructor writes on the board, you do the following:

Step A: Some stuff
Step B: Some more stuff
Step C: Some more stuff
Step D: Some more stuff
Step E: Calculate Profit

I had to leave the room I was laughing so hard because all I saw in my own mind was:

Step 1: Do something
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!

This morning while having breakfast in my favourite place i thought the girl in front of me had the hands too little for her shape...

Phoenix Psaltery · 07-15-2009, 09:47 AM

We've often been places where we saw some girl wearing something really elaborately showy and we'll look at each other and go, "Looks like an SL outfit."

Alessa Sapphire · 07-18-2009, 02:50 PM

You know you have it bad when the lines blur so badly, you cant remeber if you bought that snazzy new outfit in SL or RL... and get really frustrated when you realise it was all a dream anyway ;P

Warder Revestel · 07-18-2009, 02:53 PM

- When you write a book about it.

- When you can't resist heading to your favorite club.

- When you have time to do a easter egg hunt.

- When you want friends online (aside from WoW).

- When you want to work for Linden Lab.

- When I make maps based off regions.

I rest my case. Those are reasons why I may be a SL addict.

Porcelain Doll · 07-20-2009, 01:56 PM

...when you're disappointed because you can't find fanfiction about Second Life.
...when you have nightmares of prim boobs chasing your avi.
...when you see a sweaty girl and tell her to take off her bodyoil.

And yeah, it *did* happen.

Now I know what to call that feeling...

And, then:

You tell your Partner on the cell phone that you'll TP her to your location...

You step into your favorite RL club and start scanning the ceiling for Dance Balls...

You take a glass bottom boat tour and ask if they'll show you the local Mer town...

beatrix · 07-20-2009, 02:46 PM

You see a clothes or shoes in the store and wonder if it comes in a fat pack.

Talking about money or how much something costs in Real World you either type 50$ (instead of $50) or you catch your self saying "yeah it was only 25l".

I've also curbed my RL spending some because when I start to buy a magazine or grab fast food I think about how many lindens I could buy instead.
