when you understand the pun in gneisisnice

good one.

Ok ok I'm sorry I misunderstood I'm not a Rocks person.

It's ok.

in addition to naming every constellation in the sky you can also name all of the main stars in that constellation. You also get aggravated when people pronounce Bootes wrong.

[Mr. Cool]

when all you do during summer is be on these boards.

[genes_girl]

When your still on the boards after you have graduated from high school

When you spend the summer before your freshman year in college in a research lab and being overly excited to finally run PCR and gel electrophoresis.

When you visit the SO camp ( when you only really know the instructors there) during breaks of your research program.

When you join an SO club in college

When you can still name almost all the trees you walk past...3 or 4 years after you have done the event

When you have posted in at least two older versions of this thread

When you know in a few years that someone will write "when you remember the old forum" ( not quite a been in SO too long thing, but it will happen)

When the majority of your conversations with friends take place on various scioly boards

When this thread still comes up with new comments after years of going on

When over 50% of the posts not posted by you (and 100% of the ones posted by you) can be applicable to you in this thread

When your post gets exceedingly long and you realize you could put more. (But I'm willing to share , someone else put up a list)

When you have a nightmare that you cant go to scio nats cause the day before, your ceiling fan fell on you and you were in the hospital, but then you break out of the hospital so you can go compete (I actually did have that dream. It was rather strange.)
