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

[AmayaSaria]

-Whenever you hear the word 'first', you immediately think of F.I.R.S.T. (happened today when somebody was talking about baseball!)

-When you're waiting at the airport at 2am after championships, waiting for yer bus, and yer EXCITED for the next competition! (Me at the airport excited for Monty Madness)

-You wanna hug yer robot. NOW!

[d.courtney]

when you look at the time and the first thing you think of is a FIRST team and their robot... happened to me 2 min ago at 11:14 then my mind blanked and could only think of a team who could get 34+ points in autonomous (assuming the 10 point bonus)

Edit: Then the only thing after that you could think about was posting it on this thread (that is possibly the worse of the two)... yeah I'm addicted

[StephLee]

When you have more than one post on this thread AND on "You know you've overdosed on FIRST when..." AND on "Quotes that were said during the build season..."

[JulieB]

When typing a paper and the word "first" comes up and you try to capitalize the every letter.

This happen to me today.

[JaneYoung]

you rate the utility truck's bungee work on the tarp over his truck bed of equipment as you wait for the light to change - after you look over ever single placement that you can see: 6/10. (It's been raining in Austin)

you know that your friends and you are addicted to FIRST when you tell them to go look at your profile because you put a quote (hopefully more random next year involving more random cute boys NOT from our team, its kind of like....inbreeding almost....) in it... and she goes and looks at your CD profile

OKAY so I had a slight blonde moment...I didn't know you ment AIM profile instead of your CD profile! Tis not my fault.

You know your addicted to first when you have this conversation while setting up a soon-to-be-noob's account on CD and you run into a friend from the team:

Sam: Why are you in here during lunch?
Me: I'm putting Candelaria on Chief
Sam: I'm sorry
Me: For...what...?
Sam: They've infected you
Me: Oh, I know
Sam: *funky look*
Me: They've infected me and I love it. I wouldn't have it any other way. I love being a geek.
Sam: *walks away shaking his head*

hehe

You're still dreaming about it!

[spadercool]

you see the number of students at your school is your FIRST team number

[anna~marie]

when you always smile and write your team insignia all over the page when you get to your team's number on a standardized test (sure makes for a happy point in the middle of the AP's and whatnot!)

[spears312]

When you don't go a single day without coming up with an idea that relates to FRC, FLL, or FVC, no matter how crazy it is.

[Libby K]

your friend says "first" [in this case....SHOTTY GOING FIRST!]

and before she can continur, you cut in with....

"for inspiration and recognintion of science and technology. FIRST is a program designed to bring motivated students and engineers together......blah blah blah"


......oops. sorry.

[987HighRoller]

... you type up a paper in Microsoft Word and when you're done, you look for the 'build all' button.

[Michelle Celio]

....When you keep duck tape in your room "just in case"
....When you use Chief Delphi to see who really on AIM, even tough they are away
....When the majority of your email is from your team, team mentors or someone asking about FIRST

...When you know the answer to this..
