When the word 'Moo' makes you think of Tauren.

If you try and succeed in converting what gold would be in actual cash. My friend, not me. He did it for Aion money too. And Aion cash to Gold.

Today in math my instructor was handing out papers and called out something that sounded like "Burn" and I almost responded to it.

Burn is what a lot of people call me on my server for my main burninrain.

hm, i got a few silly ones.
When I turned 16 I thought: “Ding lvl16 I can finally get my epic mount!”
One morning I was half asleep when the garbage truck came rumbling up the street and I woke in terror because I thought the Fel Reaver was coming.
When the family went up into the mountains to pick huckleberries with our friends my first thought was something along the lines of: “Cant they just summon us so we don’t have to take the long FP?”
Every once in a while when we go somewhere I think: “Great long FP”
Sometimes I find myself wishing my mom had spectd for increased mount speed when driving into town and suffer a split second of confusion when we stop in traffic… oh yeah we cant walk through people here.
I have found myself reaching into my pocket for a hearthstone now and then.
Every once in I while I catch myself watching the news or a movie and wondering “Why that guy didn’t just rez him?”
And one of my fav, on the way home from church as I was sitting in the front seat of the car and I reached out and taped the dashboard once or twice expecting the car to jump.

Stopped at a gas station and filled up my car on my debit card, and went inside to buy a bottle of tea. The machine inside wouldn't let me use the card there too, so I had to scrounge up change from my pocket. After digging everything out, I was 15 cents short and my first thought was "It'll be alright, all this other crap (crumpled up receipt, part of a pencil, lighter that didn't work, etc) will be worth at least a COUPLE coppers ..."

My BF's brother (who I've been playing WoW with since launch) STILL calls me "Marit" when he's drunk.

My first thought when I realized it was my mom's 58th birthday way "ooo even level, and you're almost 60! grats!"

I've also noticed that I say "at the moment," "be right back," "in my humble opinion" and the like WAY more often than I did before they were acronyms. =D

EDIT: Also, my tendency to rest my fingers on WASD and tap spacebar repeatedly when I'm thinking while typing something.

I've started saying "AFK" or "BRB" when I have to go do something. <.<

I've also started calling our dogs to me by whistling. XD

just remembered a few more.
When my mom asked me if I knew where the cat was sleeping I tried to find my call pet button.
One time I did the “call pet” whistle by mistake instead of calling my cats name and wondered why she didn’t show up.

When asked where one of my younger siblings are I would glace up where my mini map should be, thinking I can just set it to track humanoid.
Did the same thing in Walmart once when I was looking for the rest of my family and thought “I need to make a /Targetmom macro.”

I was convinced the UPS truck was the DPS stuck- and it would deliver.

When given the security question (For emails and other accounts) and the option of “What was the name of your first pet?” comes up I automatically answer “Phobos” the name of my moonstalker runt I tamed at lvl 10, before I come to my senses and put in the name of my REAL cat xD

My mini map is in the upper right of my screen, no sexymap here! I have been exercising by walking lately... and I often notice myself flicking my eyes to where my mini map would be, if I were looking at WoW... even though I am outside. Not even NEAR a PC.

Yeah. Addict here.

Tygamoon wrote:Ive also had so many of those it isn't even funny. Ive told people in game that my kids were lvl 2,4 and 7. Ive asked my husband for gold to go to the store with. Ive told my little brother "Grats on the lvl" when it was his birthday. When I speak to friends in RL that also play wow I call em by their game names. When I'm out for walks and someone drives by I wish I had an epic mount too. Walking with sore feet gives me the feeling that I need to 'repair' my boots. I also recall doing the whole Loqe grind and taming it.....in my dreams. I find myself wishing for Wal-Mart faction discounts. I can go on and on and on but I'm staring to feel kinda....addicted so I'll stop now haha.
This made me laugh so hard I started crying. xD

I have dreamt about wow though. I once dreamt I had a big fierce King Mosh chasing after me, after I had come too close to him in Winterspring. xD
I was too low level, and he chased me all the way in to a large city with tall building. I hid in a small store hoping he didn't find me xD

Also, last night I dreamt that I found my brother dead, and then decided to run away with my sister to keep her safe. Then we encounter a guy, which I was friendly with, and she hostile with, and there was nothing I could do and he shot her down.

All of a sudden we change to hostile and he take me prisoner and we walk for a long time, until he suddenly wants to stop at a MacDonalds to buy bananas. I take the opportunity to summon my flying mount and escape. I didn't sleep well that night. xD

Mine came when I used to raid more. I would push the PTT button to talk to my wife, who was in the same room, and not playing the game. Same when I was at work on the phone.

You know you play wow to much when you say you found a new pet and try to summon it in a shop by whistling.
