You Know You’ve Spent Too Much Time In SecondLife When…
You know you’ve spent too much time in SecondLife when…
- You see a cute guy/gal at a bar and you want to right click on them to read their profile.
- You stand naked in front of the mirror wishing there was a slider to reduce your belly.
- You walk out of the mall, realize your car is at the far end of Timbuktu and think “I’ll just fly. Where is that F button?”
- While surfing on other websites you have the urge to zoom in on things with your mouse wheel.
- You instintively stick your arms out to the side in front the mirror to check your appearance.
- You find yourself shopping for clothes that are as cool as the ones your avatar wears.
- You look for stacks of green dots on Google maps.
- You try to click on locations on Google maps and then look for the Teleport button.
- You’ve begun measuring distance in SIMs instead of miles or kilometers.
- You reach your hand out to edit the size of your TV and feel disapointed when that line of white light doesn’t extend from your hand.

One of my favorites is: You know you’ve spent too much time in Second Life when you start seeing everything in RL as prims, and you often comment to your friends “I can make that. . . . .with 6 prims”

11. You know you’ve spent too much time in SL when your hands “type” when you are having a RL discussion.

You know you’ve been LIVING in SL too long when you’re looking at ANY image on the PC and you hit ALT then click and try to drag it to face FRONT to get a better viewpoint!!!

You KNOW you’ve been in SL too long when you type ANYTHING and only hear ONE set of ‘typing sounds’!!!

You KNOW you’ve been in SL too long, when your RL has to LOG in on the other PC to ask you via IM if you want a RL cup of coffee!!!

[…] OK, I arrived late to this afternoon’s ACE meeting in Second Life, looking like some kind of raccoon hooker (I am totally confident that Intellagirl will help me with a re-do before our next meeting. And, yes, I did get fondled by an avatar or two when I overshot Middleton), but I’m very excited about continuing my explorations of SL, which I first visited during Sara Robins NCTE ACE workshop in Nashville. Just last week, I heard Bernie Dodge at MacWorld state that he did not yet see classroom applications for SL. Sixty Minutes is on TV right now. They just did a feature on the need to introduce high school students to entrepreneurialship. Oh my, is that ever a SL project waiting to happen - with maybe an ACE and or NWP guide or two:-). I’ll admit I was frustrated when first trying to enter, but maybe that was due to reading Joyce Valenza’s post before setting off. Now that I’ve been in SL, I’m looking forward to return visits.

You know you’ve been in SL too much when you watch television and are amazed at how smooth things rez, and how seldom it bogs down.

You know you’ve been in Sl too much when, after having chanced to look up, you instinctively try to type ctrl-alt-shift– to turn off the clouds.
