You know you're addicted to RPing/RC when...

[hamlet]

Yep I snatched this off of another board But it's proven fun.

1. You had a dream that RC was hacked and started freaking out. Immediately after that, when the cbox started acting up, you become paranoid that the dream came true! (this is a true story, happened yesterday lol)

2. When you're bored but away from the computer, you start "working on" your next post in your head.

3. You have playlists in your music player for each one of your characters.

4. When ever you read a classic book or see a "classic" theater performance, you start thinking about how those characters would play out in a modern world.

(Your turn to continue! It can be about RC or RPing in general )

[ricketts]

5. You make character video-shorts D:

[RICHARD PLANTAGENET]

6. You imagine different ways your ongoing/upcoming threads will play out in your head (guilty as charged)

7. You act like your character in real life sometimes to help you get under their skin (why yes, I do limp around my room on occasion reciting soliloquies)

8. You dream about your characters/roleplays (I do this all the time...XD)

9. You name inanimate objects after your characters/characters in your canon (my USB stick is called Clarence and before you ask, yes, my laptop is called Ricky =P)

10. You read/watch anything and everything you can get your hands on about your character/canon to help with muselessness

I'm sure I'll have many MANY more later. XD

12. You plan your fifth-sixth-tenth characters even before you've made your third/even if there's a character limit.

13. You check RC excessively and obsessively, even when you're supposed to be doing something else.

14. Your daydreams often include your characters.

15. You use name generators to find out what the names of your character's children would be.

16. While in a store you here someone call your characters name and freak out (Some old guy was asking the clerk for Sodapop today and I was giggling like crazy.)

17. Your going to name your kids after your character.

[IRENE ADLER]

18- Stay at godly hours of the night to play Rc

[ANNE SOPHIE PLANTAGENET]

19- you crave food that your characters possibly might like ...

20- You want to tell other people about your characters and what they did in the rp.

[ÉPONINE THÉNARDIER]

21. Your friends and family groan whenever you say the following phrases: "I had this idea for a character ..." "I was doing this thread the other day ..." or "I just got this great idea for a plot!"

22. When you play the game of LIFE, you name your little blue and pink pegs after your characters.

[RICHARD PLANTAGENET]

23. You have songs from the Rewritten City Playlist (particularly the 'theme songs' or songs pertaining to your character(s)) stuck in your head.

24. You start to talk as your character(s) would in real life and/or adapt some of their nervous tics/quirks without meaning to.

25. You read/look for books your character might like to read

26. You constantly listen to songs that remind you of your characters/events in their lives (Somehow, I've managed to relate Riverdance to Richard III XD)

[benvolio]

27. You get so wrapped up in a character that you almost accidentally introduce yourself under their name. (I caught myself as I was about to tell someone to "just call me Ben" the other day. Whoops. =P)

[RICHARD PLANTAGENET]

28. The line between real life and RC becomes rather blurry.

EXHIBIT A: 'Read Along With Ricky'; Nessie's newly purchased copy of Machiavelli's 'The Prince'


Hmmm....Chapter Eight: Concerning Those Who Become Princes By Evil Means...

EXHIBIT B: Nessie's newly purchased aviator glasses, similar to the one's Ricky wears in his Character Profile picture





EXHIBIT C: The roses of York & Lancaster box, made as a leaving present for Nessie by a friend, containing two rings Nessie purchased, one with a white rose, the other with a red rose

[JACK THE RIPPER]

29. You dress like your character while RPing or doing daily tasks. (Dude, that overcoat is REALLY warm and nice, okay?!)

30. You accidentally add your character to your list of people to get things for for Christmas.

31. ...and then buy them something.

32. If you were obsessed with your character before joining RC/RPing them. (*cough* Jack the Ripper. Yeah.)

33. You buy books on psychology to make sure your character is working right.

34. You get extraordinarily mad at yourself if you slip up and make them do something OOC.

[eastsidesunset]

35. You have started enjoying things you disliked/hated doing before- All because your character does. (Running laps in PE- FINALLY bearable and even fun, sometimes. All thanks to ol' PB over here. :3)

36. You find yourself dreaming not just about your character, but in the point of view of your character.

36. You study symbols on the periodic table by relating them all somehow to your character/canon. (AU= gold= good AU Outsiders fanfics are GOLD! xD or PB= lead= Ponyboy= writing= pencil= pencil lead.) X3

37. You consider making a Facebook for your character and obsess over which year they would have graduated, which college they would have went to, what "groups" they would be part of, etc.

38. You want to go to NYC just to squee and point at places your character "might have gone".

39. You take a class you wouldn't normally take just because it involves stuff your character would've been interested in/ just so you know something your character would know. (I'm taking self defence in PE this month. Includes learning how to defend yourself in "street fighting situations". Sound familiar?)

[RICHARD PLANTAGENET]

40. You have dreams where it's completely normal for yourself and your characters to hang about, even though if RC were real they'd probably think you were a total weirdo (Lady C gave Ricky and I two quid last night before heading off to Starbucks) XD

Also, in reference to 16, I heard someone in the shop yesterday say something like "It took me ages to get to Richard's house...and George..." I forgot the rest of what she said but I chuckled inwardly. =P

41. You buy SimCity 4 and atempt to recreate RC's New York (and aren't surprised whne you get kicked out of office for insane taxes).

42. You buy the Sims 2 specifically to make your character(s) and their family(ies) - and you're dead chuffed you got the Deluxe Edition as it has the all new Pleasure Aspiration which perfectly fits a certain someone XD

By the way, I bought Sim City 4 in a charity shop and Sims 2 off of Amazon..though I must admit I probably would pay full price for the insane amount of fun the Plantagenet Sims are giving me. XD
