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

[i_am_Doug]

When, you can drink 5 MDX'es and a Rockstar and not be hyper.
As a matter of fact, when you need 5 MDX'es and a rockstar just to get you moveing!

Yes, well, it gets worse.

You give in to going to the mall to shop for clothes for yourself but only if you can stop at Home Depot and look at the chop saws on sale. However, before you get to the chop saws you notice all the really cool drills. You never get to the mall.

The first thing you notice about your friends' driveway is the FIRST logo they started in chalk.

You have friends who spend most of their time writing the FIRST logo on their driveway.

Opening up any school notebook, you find at least a dozen sketches of the FIRST logo you drew when the teacher was going off topic and you didn't need to take notes.

You start having withdrawal symptoms when you don't see your FIRST friends (151, it's been AGES!!!)

You plan your social life around FIRST offseasons (Can't have my birthday party the same weekend as IRI in case by some miracle I can make it down there!)

When you look at this thread and genuinely think "Wow, it has Buzz replies!!" (Team numbers and names get confused in my head...I've said there are MOE days in a year before...)

When you drive your mother nuts talking non-stop about a new drive train idea.

When you randomly have to go through your AIM buddylist and figure out which people belong to which team (and anyone not on a FIRST team who you haven't talked to in a long while gets deleted, but all FIRSTies stay on).

When you burn a CD for someone and resist putting the FIRST anthems on it, just as a joke.

When your English HSA test book is dotted with who-knows-how-many FIRST symbols.

(burn a Chief Delphi?)

...when you seriously considering wearing your team shirt and medal to your brothers school assembly as his school hasn't committed itself to the Lego League yet...

[StephLee]

(I thought of that, but I actually wanted to see if anyone else thought the same thing...guess I wasn't alone, huh? )

When you're shirking a History assignment to goof off on ChiefDelphi.

When your teacher knows you aren't doing your work and doesn't say anything.

When you start to write down a list of how to know you've overdosed on FIRST when you actually try to do your assignment.

You miss homecoming for DOTD

volunteering at the Boston Regional, turning your volunteer shirt into a giant birthday card and having the entire arena sing to you.

[Storcky]

...at school, you look down and you are wearing your team polo shirt, 6 buttons(2 your teams, 2 safety captain button, and 2 from other teams), your 1507 necklace, pants that you bought specifically for FIRST, shoes that have been to every FIRST competition that you have, Poof ball earrings, you are carrying your official FIRST sweatshirt, and your backpack has a Buzz button.
...you have pants that you bought specifically for FIRST competitions.
...your 8th grade BROTHER points out the "property buzz" commercial has Buzz in it.
...you steal your friends Hawaii FLL necklace because you didn't get one and REFUSE to give it back.

[prettycolors91]

I'm guessing that was Devynn's because I still have mine...

...When your five-year-old brother begins associating team numbers with names.
...When your parents are looking at flights to Atlanta for a business conference, and you assume they're getting a headstart for next April.
...When you constantly complain about missing competition season and wear something every day that reminds you of FIRST.
