When you are watching the Indiana Primary results, and when it came down to Hammond's votes, your first thought is "OMG 71 is going to make the differance"

I would do that, except I don't think humans can survive at temperatures of 2207 degrees... That's awesome that you can keep your house at your team number's temperature!

When it's Pentecost and they want you to wear red at church, and the only thing you have that is red is the shirt you got for reffing FLL World Festival.

When thinking of Sadie Hawkins themes you think of Sadie goes to a FIRST event. And you are totally serious about it.

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

When you get a new screen name : RoboChick528
sadly it isn't my team number, I figured my non-FIRST friends would get too angry

When you carry hot pink duct tape, multicolored zip ties and saftey glasses and everyone thinks it's normal

When part of the 1/8 in square tubing used on the 2007 robot is on a necklace that you never take off

When you are invited to Prom by someone on WildStang in Atlanta and you wouldn't have met the guy unless you had done robotics

When you try to get a Prom dress that would match the previously stated necklace

When you no longer say "Awkward Turtle" you say "2108" **everyday occurance**

When your iPod has more music from competitions than anything else and you don't find it unsual to start the Cotton Eye Joe or the Macarena in the hallways with your friends

When all your graphic design projects relate to robots or FIRST or team numbers and whatnot

When taking a roadtrip, you take pictures of mile markes and then post them on Facebook under team names receiving many comments from people very confused who don't do FIRST and a lot of celebratory comments from fellow FIRSTers

when you spend a day in six flags comparing piston strokes on rides, taking bets on pneumatic or hydrolics, checking out sprockets, and planning a project on amusement park rides for class next year.

When you get tendonitis in Atlanta in your ankle and have to wear a hot pink cast for 3 weeks and use crutches. ...but then you have your teammates and other FIRST friends sign it
