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

[XXShadowXX]

you have fallen asleep, head in laptop. And when you wake up, you were running LabView, and firefox (chiefdelphi)

When while following your cousins soccer team in New Jersey, you go home and see if their high schools have FIRST teams.

They need to be in a field of business related to FIRST? I didn't know that. I push it on EVERYBODY!

When you're at an event and looking at the year long schedule and thinking "those three dates will conflict with build season" and then you hear the folks behind you discussing the same issue!

OK, so it was an event about teaching students engineering but still!

...you go to your BME professor for academic advising, she asks you why you went into engineering, and you promptly launch into an enthusiastic twenty-minute explanation of FIRST and robotics.

...you're at college, and when meeting new people, you ask if they were on a team in high school before you ask their names.

...your first paper at college deals with FIRST robotics in a completely serious and professional way.

...you haven't entirely figured out your weekly class schedule but already know the meeting times and places for the college robotics team (not quite FIRST related).

...everything reminds you of FIRST robotics in the college robotics team, of course...

When you're playing an RPG and you're upset when your XP is just under or over your team number

[Vermeulen]

When you're playing an RPG and your damage always seems to be 1306 per hit
When you feel guilty for not wearing your safety glasses at all times
When you cringe whenever you hear the words "chains" or "dumper"

...your status is "My heart is about to burst," and someone thinks it's because you got asked to homecoming... but it's actually because you're going through pictures of your team that you make your heart swell up with pride.

If that was my status, someone would promptly say "Then stop reheating pizza with the heat gun!"

When the number 111 starts stalking you... Your lab drawer in Chemistry, the seat you have at the football game, the numbers of letters in a text to your FIRST friends....

When you go to your first engineering class in college and the first people you meet are FIRSTers : D

When you see a kid at lunch wearing a Thunderchicken's shirt and you freeze up trying to figure out what is going on.

Oh man, I would do the same thing if I wasn't the one at my school wearing the ThunderChickens shirt

When you flip out because you found out that 33 squared is 1089.

[Chris is me]

If I saw someone at my school wearing a Thunderchickens shirt, I'd probably worship them. And if they're not a "real" Chicken, then I'd ask them how they got it

I'm not a real chicken (I wish I was! but I love my team <3) and I got it for my birthday; I think that the fact that I got it was a topic of discussion in this thread a few pages back.

Now, let's get back on topic....
