1.) You're more troubled by intel reports suggesting the Imperials are in the Curati Sector than you are by intel reports suggesting that your girlfriend broke up with you a week ago.
2.) When you can't find something you're searching for on Yahoo, you think to yourself, "damn, I failed my 'computers' roll."

3.) When someone addresses you, you have to pause for a minute before you realize they are not addressing a stranger, but addressing you by your real name

I'm sure there are more. Feel free to add your own. :D

You delve into a lengthy monologue whenever someone visits you at home or greets you in public.

You waltz right into someone's house without knocking and start opening boxes and taking what's inside while they're standing right there.

You believe it's perfectly acceptable to rename your friends at will.

When you find yourself short on cash, your first idea is to head outside of town and start slaughtering random animals.

You respond to grievous, life-threatening injuries by going to bed.

Whenever you need something one of your friends has, you freely rummage through their things and take it. You also tend to think of them as walking luggage.

You call your friend "Richard er, Tharg, er, Tylandial, er, Aiden, er, Maria, er.... Chris!"

If you've ever looked up the phase of the moon on your birth date to see what Auspice you'd fall under (I'm a Galliard, BTW)

And on a similar note, if you have readily available character sheets of yourself in at least 5 different systems.

Oh, and also whenever you watch a movie or TV show, you catalog (mentally or otherwise) the level of feats performed by characters in the movie. For example, I have a roommate who watched "Underworld" and spent the entire time going "Let's see...2 Fortitude...2 Celerity...that'd be a dot of Presence...Wow, that werewolf totally has the 'True Fear' gift."

Yeah. Everyone I knew was sure I was a Ragabash, since I'm an unrepentant smartass. But I looked it up, and it said I was Galliard. Does fit with my knowing of random crap and my tendency to make shit up on the spot.

You can't walk by your ex without shouting, "/pet attack! /pet attack!!!!"

You try to bluff your way out of a speeding ticket by playing rock-paper-scissors with the cop (if you get this and you're not a LARPer, you're pathetic. If you are a LARPer, you already were pathetic.)
