You know you are on GC too much when....
 

Your sister gets something in the mail from Marquette University and you say out loud...

"Hey, isnt that where GeekyPenguin goes to school?"

and your mom gives you a funny look and asks what in the world is a "geeky penguin".:p

When your up the same time moe.ron just started his working day.

When you wake up and the first thing on your mind is "I wonder what's new on GC?" LOL

...respond to this thread.:cool:

When you start thinking in HC's, a la the AKA forum

HC this woman is driving like a moron?
HC I'm hungover?
HC I haven't eaten lunch yet?

You get the picture...

while we're on the subject, can someone explain what HC means anyway? I've always wondered....

How Come

It means "How Come".

Ah ha... makes sense now - I like it! Thanks!

i do that too!

when you sit in a boring training class for 2 weeks and take 2 pages of notes in HC format just to look like you are really paying attention.

Re: You know you are on GC too much when....
 

LOL that's awesome! That is indeed where GeekyPenguin goes to school! :)

I had a similiar moment the other day - I met an Alpha Gam at the hair salon and immediately thought of telling her that I "know" some Alpha Gams. ;)

You know you are on GC too much when...
 

You hit the refresh button to check on the progress of a new game in ChitChat so often that it sounds like tiny mice feet running across the floor....

Silver

lol
 

you use /hijack and /end hijack not only in emails when you interrupt yourself, but ims and in REAL CONVERSATIONS!!!!
Greek Love and Mine,
mandie

when on the very heated threads, you imagine everyone in a room arguing in person....my mind is much too animated

It took me a long time to figure that out! On another message board, I've been referred to as HC for honeychile, and I kept thinking, "Why are they talking about me?!" :)

...you join in solidarity with members from other GLOs when
idiots call their GLO mascot "stupid". ;)

...your idea of a good time is trying to see how many posts you can get within a day just to run up your post count (so you can keep your hopes alive of someday making it into the Top Ten of Posters and perhaps pass the Ever-Supreme CrimsonTide4!). :D

you build posting time into your morning routine.

something i've always done
 

...when you change your signature on a regular basis

When you "dig" around through tons of threads just looking for one where you can respond! Even if it's a STUPID response-like mine!:D

when
 

when your at work and you get mad because a customer comes up and your in the middle of reading a thread, like right now. she will have to wait cause i dont like her attitude.:D

All hail the QUEEN!!! :D

When you're here at 3am and then back at 9.

If you are ever late for something because you had to check some threads one more time . .

Its slow on GC and you wonder where everyone is.

(I've said this one before) You use your GC password for other passwords, becasue its the most easily remembered pw you have.

DANG!!! I do too!

When you're about to flip out after your two favorite threads, "Word Association Game" and "Have you ever..." are deleted.

Wait thats me....

LOL, when you actually get upset over your post count being ruined after some threads are erased....

Get over it! :)

When you sit on GC for 8 hours while at work because you get a total of ONE customer all day. Oh and then the next day you're here again for 4 hours cuz NO ONE comes in.:mad:

yeah, for a brief moment i was ticked:p

When you work for like 22 hours in two days and should be cleaning your house...but instead you're on GC...and you wonder why you care anymore :rolleyes:

You drive past the Texaco station sign where the only letters still lit are X and O and you think "Hey, look at that - Chi Omega!!"

when you actually try to explain jokes/convos to "real" ppl.....

agdiva: "ok, so cream was going on about--"

boy: "hold up....who the hell is cream???"

agdiva: "she's just....cream.....anyway, she always talks about this baseball guy...."

boy: "talks? you talk to some chick named cream????"

<walks away, hanging "i am an internet gc dork" sign around neck>

also, when you already know the argument some ppl are going to have over your latest flame-worthy post, so you attempt to get back online to regulate so it doesn't get too out of hand. ;)

again, <walks away, hanging "i am an internet gc dork" sign around neck>

You know your on GC way to much when you hope everytime you refresh there is a PM waiting for you! Also to kill time to fall back asleep at 2 am and your on here instead

When you're in a RL conversation, and mention something that someone said on GC and use your fingers as if you're typing...

Re: You know you are on GC too much when....
 

that is just way to funny!

scary part is that this is very true

XO XO XO XO XO XO XO XO
 

AH HA! So, our subliminal advertising with Texaco is working! How about the colors cardinal & straw at McDonald's?

Definitely it's using usernames off GC. I do that...my husband will say, "Where'd you learn (insert latest news)?" and I say, "AXO Alum" or "justamom" and then I have to refresh his memory as to who they are in real life.
