:D

. . . you post on NS General ;)

You know you have no life when:

* You've finished two books in two weeks.

Reading them or writing them?

...you make a big list about how you have no life.

You know you have no life when:

* You talk to Eutrusca.
Annnd the problem with this is?

I'll have you know there are people the world over ( most of them women ) who would give almost anything to spend just a few minutes talking with me! :D

You know you have no life when:

- You voluntarily spend eight hours of your Saturday in the one building designed to drive you insane.

- You're babysitting an MSDOS program.

- You've read two books in a day.

- Making a perfect Mikrosil toolmark cast excites you.

- You think regional meetings are the funniest things ever.

- You post on NS religiously.

- You think about masturbating more than you actually masturbate.

- You can do three weeks worth of laundry in an hour and a half, and you know how to get quarters out of anything.

- You're actually glad you're friends with the chinese man, even though he is in fact old and white.

- You've gotten your ass royally kicked at monopoly.

- See also Halo.

- And, when you're friend posts about them having no life, you post about having no life in return.

If I'm not at work or school then I'm at home reading fiction, watching TV, surfing the Internet and posting on NS.

So... I do not need to make a list to know I have no life.

you Spend your every waking moment plotting and scheming on how to take over the entire NSverse in an entirely legit and unignorable fashion insuring that, along the way, you cannot be opposed. You do this instead of normal things like, having a Girlfriend, owning a car, going to work, socialising with the other people in your house, ignoring the pets, ignoring the jungle that used to be a yard, eating, sleeping, Drinking (Anything).

Yes, Nationstates is the entire extent of my socail life. :( :D

* You laugh your ass off at Foch's post and think it's the best ever.
* That and you have to agree with As-Salaam-Alaikum's "...you actually spend the time to reply to this thread..."

* And how could I have forgotten, you frequently quote RedvsBlue in normal conversation.

Jeeze! And I thought *I* had problems with NS-addiction! Sheesh! ;)

- You've read two books in a day.


I once read five books in one day, Cover to cover.

You know you have no life when:
* Friday nights are spent posting on NS.:D

Actually I was posting on firday night, and thinking my God I have no life. Oh look a thread about what our voices sound like...

- You think about masturbating more than you actually masturbate.

OK you win! That's the funniest thing I've read all day :p

It does serve as a rather annoying reminder though. <.<

When you name your NS country after objects in space...

** And how could I have forgotten, you frequently quote RedvsBlue in normal conversation.

Bowchickabowwow.

You know you have no life when you feel ignored after nobodies replied to your thread in the first miute after it was initial posted.

You know you have no life when even your Imaginary friend goes out without you, and comes back with a real Girlfriend/boyfriend.

You know you have no life when you voluntarily read a dictionary for entertainment.

You know you have no life when watching water freeze to Ice sounds exciting.

You know you have no life when watching paint dry is the Highlight of your day.

You know you have no life when you hold a race to see what color of paint dries the fastest. "Come on Blue! Blue! Blue! come on Red Dry, DRY, Dry like you mean it!"

You can actually determine within one millimeter, just how much your Grass grows from Day to day, just by simple observation.

You turn the Telvision to a channel with nothing but snow and make up your own show.

You Fantasize about having a life.

You fantasize about fantasizing about a life.

* When you see this:
* You watched eight hours straight of Japanese Anime that you had no idea what the hell was happening in any of them.
And suddenly the most important question in the Universe becomes whether he had them dubbed, subbed, or just stared in wonder while, listening to the beautiful nonsense that is the Japanese language and trying to guess at what was going on.
* The most important Question in the Universe before you read the above was whether to go out and buy liquor, or stay in and drink Dr Pepper.
* You pride yourself on mailing your movies back to Netflix within 24 hours of receiving them (Watching each one twice before mailing it back, of course)
* In spite of burning through your Netflix queu as quickly as humanly possible, it is still in the triple digits
* The word "queu" causes you serious angst because you are alway positive that you are misspelling

- You post on NS religiously.

you know you have no life when

- you spend 20 minutes trying to decide if you know whose puppet ferdinand foch is (or how religious he could be when he only has 58 posts)

I always thought the ability to recognize songs after the first the bars was a sign of you having no life.

Just for you
it's spelled "queue" ;)

What about the ability to recognize anything at all after the first five bars?
*hic*

lol. The better question would be why are you still sober?

Just for you

That looks even worse than "queu", its one of those goddamned Froggy words, ain't it?

I demand they put a spellcheck on the forum!

You know you have no life when:
* You spend wake up at 11 on saturday, start playing Hearts of Iron2 online for 8 straight hours (1-9), eat lunch(pringles) and dinner(pizza) in front of the computer, then quit when the game is nearing a close because you realised a Myth Busters marathon is on
* You spend 6 hours of your sunday installing and uninstalling various computer games so you can play something with your friend online

That looks even worse than "queu", its one of those goddamned Froggy words, ain't it?
And now you're kneedeep in it.
Where's German Nightmare with one of his cool smilies?

You know you have no life when:

You read and respond to this thread.
You look forward to getting home from work so you can get on NS.
You argue with Undelia

You know you have no life when you:

- Spend your days volunteering at two places.
- Collect Warhammer 40,00 and creating your own chapter.
- Post on NS, and creating a backstory, factbook, and post in General.
- Run your own mod for a video game.
- Are in more than one gaming clan.
- Create your own sci-fi universe in your head with more races than the human race.

Irronically, that there was a good description of my own life. :P

You argue with Undelia
Its too hard to resist!

You know you have no life when you wake up in the morning and take stock of the day ahead of you, and realize the only thing you have to look forward to is watching the television show "The Office" at 9:30 pm.

You know you really have no life when you realize this on a Monday, and "The Office" shows on Thursday.

- Create your own sci-fi universe in your head with more races than the human race.

I have two, for different occaisions of course. Well one isnt sci-fi.

You know you have no life when:

You go to your classes for most of the day.
After said classes you hang out with your friends until you crash.
Repeat until Thursday.
Thursday-Saturday Night: Go out to parties at Night, recover and play video games and/or hang out with friends during day.
Sunday do homework. And repeat.

Oh shit...I mean...uhhh...you like the rednecks that make up the Blue Collar Comedy Tour?

You spend time trying your damnest to come up with story arcs for NationStates. And money. And resources. And you get worked up when someone effs up your vision of how the thread should go. And you try to write off the person who does so, but you... just... can't. ARGH!

If that's not a life, what is a life?

In order for one to not have a life, there should be firm rules that dictates what is a life, and what isn't. (besides the smart-ass "having a pulse" crap)

If that's not a life, what is a life?
Depends on who you ask. Descartes would have a very different idea of what a life is then lets say Aristotle. As for me, yeah it's not too bad to be a college student.

How dare you suggest locking that. That was the most beautifully surreal thing I have ever read, and only a fascist with no soul could dislike it.

Possession of the Imaginary Firefox Invisibility Cloak™.

...this entire discussion about how many posts you should have also constitutes as having no life.

If you're going to start comparing post counts, I think Eutrusca wins - somewhere around 25000 in 18 months.

- You've gotten your ass royally kicked at monopoly.

I played Monopoly with my friends the other day and I was the only person who won over a plastic action figure from Halo. Now tell me that isn't sad and pathetic.

You Know You Have No Life When....

the closest thing you have to a relationship is when you RP at the Paradise Beach Club. :(

You know you have no life when you think "why bother getting dressed? I'll only have to get ready for bed again..."

I've only done that once, though, I'm pleased to say. :p

u start watching the conspiracy videos on google.video. and then spend an hour thinking whether there there as a conspiracy against your time.
though i did enjoy the linking of the roman empires collapse, with swiss cheese.

is this thread a conspiracy to cover up for something ....

i bet it is ... telll me now

You know you have no life when you hear a news item on the way to work and spend the day planning how your going to post a thread about it. Then, after you post the thread, you keep checking back to see how many people respond to it.

You download eutrusca's trout smiley, upload it to your favorite image hosting site, and use it just like eutrusca does (but not as frequently). (yes, eut, i admit it, i stole a copy of your trout)
