How to Know You're Addicted to VMK

[rosesredrosered]

1. When you see people wearing green flip-flops out in the real world, you automatically think: Awesome!


Post more if you can think of some!

 

[Someybody]

Hmm, I think this was posted before.

 

[rosesredrosered]

Sorry, I'm new to Dis. Just thought it might be fun.

 

[SkippyPaul]

Yea this was done before but why not give it another whirl.

Your addicted to vmk if:

- You look for a boot button to get rid of company
- You actually wonder what an "ice" bed would be like in real
- Actually using the word woot in real
- When you get in a room of ppl you consider asking for trades

Yea its still fun

You know you're addicted when

- you have the sudden urge to burn yourself and dance.
- you spell potatoes wrong.
- you start wishing for a makeover in your real room

You know you're addicted to VMK when...

You start looking around the rooms of your house trying to decide which ones needs the new NPC!

or...

You look in the mirror in the morning wondering why your hair is not the color you changed it to to match your Pirate Patchy hat!

or...

You see that silly Travelocity commercial / web ad and think of our VMK Gnome! Just too weird!

Aww, I need to see that commercial!

You know you're addicted to VMK when...well, just see my signature...

Of course these are obvious but you know you are addicted to vmk when:

1) You write an email and use words like: on and tree instead of one and three and you don't even realize it until you hit the send button

2) When you are driving in traffic and someone cuts you off, you start wondering if there are cannons on the side of your car loaded with gold cannonballs so you can get them with one shot.

You know you're addicted to VMK when your son (or daughter) goes out with friends and you're thinking "ugh, another boys meets girls party. I better call a staff member to check that out."

You know you're addicted to VMK when you reschedule a meeting with a potential client for later in the day because it was scheduled the same time VMK opens for the day.

You know you're addicted to VMK when you pound your fists on the desk when VMK crashes and then have to play it off to your coworkers (or teacher?) and make up a story about losing a file or accidentally closing a program before saving.

You know you're addicted to VMK when you hire a sitter to watch the kids so you can go without distractions during a ride-a-thon. (bonus points if you're still at home with the sitter and your children but they're not allowed to ask you for -anything!-)

You know you're addicted to VMK when you check your friend's list and see nobody is on...and that makes you sad. and when someone does log in you just "happen" to bump into them in whatever room they're in just so you can say hi.
(I've done this a few times and I'm not naming names of people I just "happend" to run in to...)

You know you're addicted to VMK when you are in a rush to get home so you can log in before closing.

You also know you're addicted to VMK when casually referencing something about VMK to someone and they say "what's VMK?" you do a loud *gasp* and say "you've never heard of VMK? omg, you MUST try it!" and then give them more info then they probably care to know about the game.
(and they say World of Warcraft is addicting???)

...or at least those were a few of the warning signs when I realized I'm addicted to VMK. maybe someone should start a "I too step program for VMK" room.

You know you're addicted to VMK (or pirates in my case) when you're out driving and another car passes you at just the right angle and you find yourself yelling in your mind "shoot!!! shoot!!!"

Yeah, I have actually found myself doing this more than once. I need help.

You know you're addicted to VMK when you send off an email to a real life person and realize as you hit the submit button that you signed it "Pink". (oh I'm going to have fun explaining that one... )

OT: Car, I LOVE that poem in your signature! Very funny! Did you write it?

 

[Bugdozer]

Hi,

I must admit I am guilty of many of the above items. Pink I too have signed Bug on some things I should not have. Here are few if mine.

I know I am addicted when:

1. Dinner is scheduled to not interfere with the host game

2. EVERYONE knows do call me at VMK opening and if you do the phone will go unanswered

3. You pick your son(slinkyman) up from school and he can tell by my smile something is up and his first words are "What happened on VMK"

4. The newsletter comes out after Slinkyman has gone to bed and you print it out and leave it at his breakfast spot so he can start his day with the VMK scoop-yes I did this last week!

5. I rush home form a nail appointment with 2 minutes to spare to hurry to log on at opening.

6. I sit in my briar room and go afk doing other things on the computer but love the sounds of the fire and birds so i leave my self in my room and not log off.

7. This is bad but we go out to dinner me husband ink smalld and his mom and all we talk non-stop is VMK. Husband does not play does not like it and shakes his head all evening and asks isn't there anything else going on we 3 of us at once say NO!

8. Lastly you can not remember what it was like before VMK hmmm what did I do all day..............

You know you are addicted to VMk when you go shopping and actually start looking for a pair of green under roos

No, no, no! That is SO wrong! Put down those green under roos and slowly back away...

 

[BriarRosie]

I've noticed that I haven't be as addicted as I was lately, but that doesn't
mean I don't play frequently. I just don't NEED to log in every day.

But I can recall something that happened in the fall of 2005. I was shopping
for a new bed, and I remember thinking that the price of it was very high.
"Hmm, I wish I could trade for this..." Yes, I realized at that moment how
the game was affecting my thinking!

The other incident was when the Haunted Mansion quest at WDW switched
over to Pirate Quest shortly after I had gotten back from my trip. When
I found out a coworker was going to WDW soon after, I coerced him into
getting me a set of the new quest prizes.

I already made a post like this a long time ago, here it is

It's kind of old though so i understand that you wouldn't have seen it. .

Now see, I think that's sweet and considerate more than addicting.

a printed version of the VMK newsletter would be a great way to start your day...along with coffee and a heaping helping of chocolate-frosted sugar bombs cereal! (*ahem* or cheerios I guess)

 

[Davn1]

Hmm..

1) Whenever your at the dinner table you say 'BRB' or 'AFK'

 

[Pirate-Emery]

Strange... I thought I posted this...

1. You start naming your articles of clothing really random names.

2. You go to the last ten minutes of a party to "close."

 

[StitchfansJr]

Hmm..

I do that. It's a bad habit that I'm into.

Another VMKer and I were on a poker webpage and playing holdem and started talking in VMK we forgot we could actually type real words.
Do not know what they must have thought!
