You know you play too much Avalon when....
« on: December 10, 2008, 06:18:48 AM »
When you are standing around your boss, who is talking about the GMs (general managers) and you spend the entire conversation wondering why they are talking about guildmasters.....yeah. The vocabulary has leaked into my day to day life so much that I have to remind myself that I can really grin, not just say it...

When you have a splitting headache, and when Tylenol doesn't work you say to yourself, "I wish I had some megillos".

You send business emails to people with words like *grin and *teehee and *sigh.

You're talking to your friend and you're saying words like "grumble" and "sigh" instead of ACTUALLY doing them.

You are walking on a city street at night, hear a peculiar noise, and have an instinct to "pent."

A couple years ago I used to say 'grin' a lot, but I managed to wrest myself out of the habit. I have been playing far too long...

When I was active, I would dream about killing Uwoiame.

I also had troubles going to World of Warcraft because they would get confused when I said I was a GM because there, a GM is a Game Master, and you just call a Guild Master a Guild Master.
 
I have caught myself saying Grin and Giggle and the likes as well.
 
The worst though has to be when you're a born and raised American and you start trying to spell color colour and favor favour, etc etc. Not to mention the British sayings and words like snog.
 
I also have to say it's pretty bad cuz I still get a kick out of saying oh, I need to go grab some DP, referring to Dr Pepper, but still thinking it's Divine Protection.

When you call in sick to work for harvest, or some other great avalonian event.
 
When you look for a fish and potato dinner with medley dessert on the restuarant menu
 
when you accomplish (NO) work whatsover while on the clock because you focused on improving your settings, or settling a conflict, or just have your mind in avalon in general
 
lol when you log 136 hours in avalon for a week and you werent idle at all (sooo guilty* blush)

This = QFT.

I spent two weeks once rebonding all of Parrius to the MSR stone during work.  I got quite adept at fighting whilst on the phone doing tech support.  I also couldn't eat apples for a while (any seer worth their salt will know what I mean)

Also, when you type SAY into IM apps...and send it without checking first
