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

[Chris is me]

I meant to add something about "still worshipping them" to the end of the line.

You know you're overdosed on FIRST when you've thought of this kind of thing before.

When a college comes to your school and asks you to fill out weird things, you stray off topic, tell them about FIRST, and tell them to contact you if they are interested in getting involved.

When you spend your math class converting FIRST team numbers into binary (11000011010!)

When this is your Facebook FarmTown farm.

(mostly for the folks who compete at GTR or Finger Lakes) You see the movie Surrogates and upon hearing that one of the shut down codes was "772" you immediately turn to your friends (fellow FIRSTers, of course) and you all say: "77 WHO?!"

When meeting new people at college and getting their phone numbers, you can't help but scream when someone says "217.." or "330..."

When your Chem TA asks you about the aluminum square necklace you have and you debate if you should tell him or finish the lab.... Lab came first, then I talked his ear off!!! : D GO FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you go to football games and get confused when people aren't cheering for alliances... Then realize you're a total nerd. : D

When you bring 8 rolls of colored duct tape, your tool box, and colored zip ties to college and are known as duct tape girl. SUCCESS!!!!!!!

...you see a truck on the freeway with "FIRST" written in huge letters on the side. You slow down and take a closer look, only to realize that it also says "Freeway Incident Response Safety Team," and you are extremely disappointed. True story.

When your school projects are in team colors because its the most readily available color in your house.

and when this joke is funny;

Once Dean Kamen talked to Wave Robotics. He stretched their meeting on so long they missed IRI.

When you move and you are dissapointed that the number is 5 away from your FRC team number but waaaaaay happy that house #2333 is right across the street ^-^

when you are walking home and you notice that one of the lightpoles is numbered 2333

when you are at work (I work fastfood at Taco Bueno) and you go to give the customer his total and you realize its $23.33 and you proceed to tell the customer and the people youre working with all about your robotics team

when right after you gush about your team to the customer you print out an extra copy of the receipt for yourself just because it has your team number on it

(hahaha the customer and fellow employees laughed at me... i think i might be addicted a little!!!!)
