I love LJ.... though I don't get a chance to use it much.

--You come up with a creative scheme for your crate.
--You can no longer speak english because your brain's been fried from lack of speak. (One of my buddies said "I am stopping of the desk from moving.")
--You refuse to talk to the kids who joined the team but didn't do any work.
--You know that you're going to be one of the kids in the control station.
--You built the robot, but don't really care to drive it. (Hey, it's cuz I never got to PRACTICE with it until the night before ship.)
--You come home at midnight on a school night after FIRST and still manage to find the time to post on CD before going to shower and then bed.
--You've eaten more than half your meals for the past week at the work area.
--Those girls you've dubbed distractions have been around enough to befriend you.
--You can manage to build a robot and know most of the rules by heart, yet you can't understand drayage/shipping rules. (I.e., what to put on the crate.)
--Your teachers tell you they saw you working in the parking lot over the weekend.
--You pretend to be relieved that the bot's being shipped off, but realize that withdrawal is already setting in.

I really need sleep now.

<edit>Should have been *lack of sleep.* See what I mean? </edit>
