1. You tell people that you're going to check your messages. They assume voice-mail. You let them.

2. All of your really trusted friends have taken their glassy-eyed turn at listening to your latest RPG.

3. Your husband is completely sick and tired of hearing about the RPG.

4. Ditto what Child said about the credit card. Your husband says, "But it's all the SAME STORY inside those books!" You smile and say, "But the artwork is different." You need another bookshelf to hold it all.

5. You lose hours and HOURS of sleep over an RPG debate concerning elvish pregnancy and wedlock.

6. Your colleagues visit you at lunchbreak, see the green-and-black screen, and ask, "How's Bilbo?"

7. You really hate typing in extended quotes from a book or document, but you'll grudgingly do it because it's information somebody needs for the RPG.

8. The only thing you use your scanner for is LOTR; and you complainingly pay full-price for some ourrageous oversized book because it has a map or diagram that you need for an RPG.

9. Your family worries that you might sneak off to Hollywood and get your ears surgically altered into points. (Hmmmm... how much? ...nah. But... Hmmmm....)

10. Your BK-Gandalf glass goblet regularly serves to remind you of the last online conversation you had with someone of that name.

11. Your most-used baking recipes come from The Downs.

12. Once a week, you wear non-hobbittish, non-elvish clothes to work-- just to prove you still can.

13. And finally: Your husband seriously fantasizes about tossing your computer out the window into a snowbank.
