Real Life Signs That You're Spending Too Much Time on GC

[MysticCat]

I was at Chik-Fil-A with my son recently. We sat down at our table and I noticed that, as is often the case, there were fresh flowers on the table. On this particular day, the flowers were red, white and pink carnations.

My first thought was about how the GC Alpha Chi Omegas, Chi Omegas, Gamma Phi Betas and Phi Mus would love it.

My second thought was that the Pi Phis would feel left out, since there were no wine carnations.

My third thought was that I clearly have been spending too much time on GreekChat.

So how about you? What signs tell you that you're spending too much time on GC?

The fact that I'm headed for Convention in a month and am probably the most excited about meeting GCers. Well that, and Mall of America. lol.

Sigh.... I had a dream about going through recruitment again... but I was at a different school and had different friends.

I keep a mental note of all wedding etiquette faux pas that I encounter to share with you guys.

Co-sign on the "Ohh, I need to post this in ____" when something happens elsewhere (ie. I hear something on the radio or hear something interesting on the news).

Also, some of the GC-isms have slipped into my everyday speech (Most notably, __ITY?)

Pretty sad

*When I dress shop with my friends, not gonna lie, I sometimes take mental notes of the ones with straps/sleeves to post here (because I know alot of GC brides don't like strapless). lol.

*When I get home from work, my priorities include:

1. change.
2. eat.
3. catch up on trainwrecks I missed during the day.

I too have had moments where I think to myself, "Oh! I gotta post this on GC!"

And similar to MC, I usually think of sororities if I see their symbols (and sometimes colors). But some symbols jump out at me more than others. For example, if I see a dolphin I'm not like TRI DELTA! But fleur-de-lises always make me think of Kappas and quatrefoils always make me think of Phi Mus. As far as colors go, anytime I see black and gold (or even black and yellow, sometimes) I think of Thetas immediately.

When I drive to chick-fil-a by the Pyramids and see all the HQs I always think of greek chat.

whenever I hear a breaking news story and come to GC- and find that a thread has already been posted

[cheerfulgreek]

Just when I post my thoughts in my favorite thread. And everyone knows what that thread is.

I do this all the time. I also do it at Johnny Rockets cos the red carnations make me thing of TKE. But I don't think it's related to this forum, I think that cos I'm a Greek Geek.

Thought of another...

When I tell my fiance about something funny I saw on GC (only him because he's the only one who knows my obsession).

[cheerfulgreek]

Or when I post pics of me from school/clinics, on here. Yikes!

LOL. I guess I can take comfort that I didn't think of all the fraternities that use red or white carnations.

When I return home from being on vacation for a week and within 30 minutes I'm on GC to see what I missed.

Also, when I see people in my area that are wearing Greek letters, I start wondering "Hey, is that [username]?"

Very irrational, but who cares lol
