You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

[anna~marie]

... when even your bus driver asks you about it (FREAKY it just happened today... to save gas I ride the bus and he happened to be our bus driver for GLR and today he stopped me and wanted to ask me some stuff... it was weird)
... when you convince your friends that the W MI Regional will be a great way to spend their weekend, even if it is on the opposide side of the state

You know your addicted to FIRST when.....

you decide to go to a local regional right after work and got lost in the process but was determined to get there reguardless of how much gas was in the tank.

This was a true incident Short and Simple Version.
I work in the BX (NY) decided to go to the NJ Regional The trip itself was pre determined to be max 1 1/2 hrs and I had a lil over 1/2 a tank of gas. What had happened was i wasn't paying ENOUGH attention to the exits and ended up in PA, so instead of the trip only being 1 1/2 hrs it ended up to be 4 hrs and I ended up in having a lil over 1/4 tank left and to add to that instead of fueling up in NJ where gas is cheaper I almost ran out of gas 2 blocks away from my house which only took me about an 1 hr to get to since I live in SI (NY) What I do for FIRST =)

you re-read the entire thread starting from where you last posted to the current post to see what you've missed

when you sneak on the library's computer just to talk about FIRST with people you actually might understand you...without having to compare FIRST to basketball

when you get your team number bleached then died on the side of your head and the first logo tattooed on your upper back

[thatphotochick]

when in the middle of a conversation, having nothing to do with FIRST, and you randomly blurt out your team name, robot, shooter, dumper, herder, or anything else only having to do with FIRST

(or when you start doing the MOE dance and you start imagining "we like to party" in your head....in the middle of a conversation having nothing to do with FIRST)

When at every night the dinner table conversation turns into what you read about on ChiefDelphi.
