You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

So since the FRC championship competition in Atlanta this past weekend, i've been insanely tired/hooked on FIRST. The product of both of those, combined with a really boring spanish class, have produced a list of things that prove how much of our mind FIRST really occupies.. and yes i have done about half the things on the list. Haha, i hope you enjoy:

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

-Cheers from the competition accidentally slip into normal conversation
-Every time you see a helicopter you think "Dean Kamen is my hero"
-You swear you hear people cheering "Blue Alliance" in the middle of lunch
-You come home with a suit of armor made out of buttons from random teams.
-Every time you hear a whistle you think about switching to offense
-Every time you hear "FIRST" you proudly show off the finale party wristband... which you still have on your wrist.
-When you watch basketball on T.V. you could swear you saw a green light on the backboard
-When your parents call you up for dinner, you whip out your phone to text your friends to ask when they want to meet at the CNN tower.
-When you see people in a group wearing shirts of a similar color, you wonder what team they are.
-When you hear people go "Awwwwwwwwwww" you look for the toppled robot.
-You type "FIRST" into google just to see it appear on the top of the list.
-Upon your return home you try and convince your entire group of friends to join FIRST
-90% of the words out of your mouth are inside jokes from the trip to Atlanta
-You wait on the bottom step on a flight of stairs wondering why the escalator isn't working.
-You carry a pair of safety glasses on you at all times... in everyday life.
-You come home and write a thread on Chief Delphi about knowing when you've overdoesed on FIRST robotics.

If anyone has any of their own they want to add, post them here so we can all get a good laugh. FIRST robotics FTW!
