1. You just tried to enter your password on the microwave.

10. Your parents buy a computer and 6 months later it is out of date and now sells for half the price they paid.

18. You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person.

27. When you see your local weather on TV you still go online to double check.
28. Your whole family starts watching DVD's on the computer.
29. When you need to call someone, instead of using the phone in the house, you go to your cell phone.
30. You start tilting your head sideways to smile.
31. You're reading this.
32. Even worse; you're going to show this to someone.

You chat several times a day with a stranger from South Africa, but you haven't spoken with your next door neighbor yet this yearI've never spoken with my next door neighbors, and I've lived in this house for about 5 years now. The prospect frightens me.
You get an extra phone line so you can get phone callsThat's what DSL is for. :D
You wake up at 2am to go to the bathroom and check your E-mail on your way back to bed.No, no... you can't go to bed that early. Wait... it's 2 am right now. Think I should go check my mail.

Number 24 is really annoying. I have to memorize what i'm about to say to someone before I say it, just to make sure I don't subconciously sneak an "lol" in there somewhere.

My mother and I talk more over AIM and Email than we do iRL, yet she's just in the other room (about six to ten feet away from my room).
