[Stephanie]

...you take apart your mom's brand new toaster, the day after build, and when it doesn't work again, hit it with a hammer, and use duct tape to fix it

...when your team says, randomly "duct tape, zip ties, and industrial strength velcro!"

...when you go to physics class, and half of the females there understand when you make a karate-chop motion with your arm, while making pneumatics noises, because they are on the team too

...when you look at a team mate who has just announced that they are dating a non-firster and start to explain to them "nonono you don't get it. they'll be lonely during the build. you have to end it now, and find someone who will understand..."

...when you would never even remotely consider dating a non-firster

...when you have to say goodbye to your boyfriend during march and april because he is working as a crew member at at least two other regionals

...when epoxy has become the inhalant of choice on the team, and results in conversations involving much giggling and sexual inuendos

...when wetzel calls on jon's cell to tell him our team mate is in the chat room, while we are at home watching 101 dalmations with my little sister...
