The sad thing is I've actually done both of them.

You know you're addicted to Lusternia when...
"I'm not addicted! I can quit anytime I want to! Leave me alone!"

.. when lusternia becomes the only topic of conversation between you and RL friends.

5577 - a bloody taurian steak

all joking aside.. I have tried to use the emotes *chin* *tug* and *wavehand* in real life.

you sign into your messenger under invisable and wonder which of your friends has Thirdeye.

Save the Taurians..

that's something I am relieved of. None of my rl friends play Lusternia, we play table top instead!

How about, after dutifully taking notes during a talk (after a sleepless night working in Lusternia), you find that the notes you have written on your notebook all have to do with Lusternia... replete with zap penicillin, guild appoint gramicidin as envoy... oti Laysus you better get here... nullify erythromycin *cough* I think you get the idea?

Or the dreaming in text thing. I do that all the time...

Or the whole time you're in the shower when you're supposed to be relaxing, you're thinking of how to improve the next plot idea?

When you try to influence your boss.. and win.

With seduction?

Begging of course, payraise!

Electric ovens don't give mercury, regardless of how many times you turn it on.

Yes, I can burn food. Unlike Lusternia, food burns very easily. You can't just shove everything in the oven and hope it comes out perfect either.

You duck when a low flying plane casts a shadow on you thinking it's a roc. Really, any large shadow.

Heeey-ey, it's raining in my city. I thought the Star kept the weather outside?

Throwing cats, while a fun pass-time in-game, is not a safe pass-time out of the game.

When someone is acting like a dumbass, and you think/mutter "Man, that guy needs some pennyroyal"

Like the time you stood up too fast, dizzyness hit you, and you looked in your pocket for some seaweed?

When you dream about Choke getting nerfed..

I can always dream..

hahahah!

almost all of these and this more: when you was going to have a nice friday night and you think: "Oh, no, I cannot go out with you, baby, I am going to be one of the actors at a play of the spiritsingers in the next friday".

...when your cousin drives you somewhere, and as he walks half a block to the parking ticket machine after parking the car, you stay next to the car so that you can be a flow target for him when he has to get back.

...when, three seconds after the above thought, you realize that he can't flow to you because you're in a city, which is an urban environment. >_<
