You know you've become addicted to Milliways when . . .

You know you've become addicted to Milliways when . . .

Your 'To Read' pile is being strongly influenced by the cast list

You've broken a vow (regardless of wheather it was half-hearted or not) to avoid a specific fandom because of Milliways

You get odd looks due to your new reaction to apples or peaches

You tend to connect random things you see to Milliways (an angel carved out of black glass, a toy dragon, a white cat that seemed like it was looking right at you . . .)

You're sick, sneezing like crazy and not feeling like moving at all, so you think you'll just go on for a little while, to keep caught up. Six hours and a minor plot development later, you realize that you haven't noticed any symptoms since you logged in.

Edit:(just adding more as I think of 'em)

Your character influences your fashion choices. "Would[Insert character's name here] wear this?"

When composing a personal e-mail, you find yourself writing out your actions

You feel the need to add to this list

What's wrong with peaches? ;D

Oh, and to add to the list:

You have a chibi!Desire streaking through your head singing "Naked time! Naked time!" whenever someone says "Clothes are good."

Oh, that's okay then. XD

Went out of my way to buy myself and Liz!mun peach tea. I imagine she'll be appropriately horrified when she gets it. :D

Ghost crack rats, actually.

You buy apple martini-flavored lip gloss, if only so the pacakging will stop taunting you every day at work. (It's not too bad, actually.)

You can't get the image of Drunk!Singing!Morpheus out of your head when listening to Modest Mouse.

*looks shifty* I certainly don't find that list very applicable to my current situation. Not at all.

CRACK

*ahem*

It's now your Friday tradition to hit one of the local bookstores and add to your Milliways library.

[identity profile] gypsyjr.livejournal.com 2004-08-22 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
You use terms like "wingsmut" and "crack rat" in casual conversation without blinking an eye

You

*coughs, looks highly embarrassed*

update your personal LJ and absent-mindedly start to put link HTML in various places to link to important things that happened over the day before realizing that the grocery store, the bank, and the bus stop don't have URLs.

You're so used to using small text for OOC comments that it takes you two previews to realize you've used it instead of italics in a non-Milliways comment.

(Yes, I have actually done this. *amused facepalm*)

You start to do something IRL and then stop, thinking 'Wait! Am I being completely OC?'

You begin to listen the your character's advice in your head when dealing with areas of their expertise.

Your character influences your fashion choices. "Would[Insert character's name here] wear this?"

Oh my God. When faced with three striped shirts on Saturday...one blue/brown, one dk green/lt green, and one pink/purple....could there be any question?

*headdesk*

Your characters comment on the things you do IRL. And there're about seven of 'em. And people wonder why you're giggling...

You spend hours at work drawing up stick-figure paintings for your character to paint- complete with all the symbolism that they would use.

You lose 20 pounds on the Milliways Diet - you get so absorbed you forget to eat.
