So I had a moment on Sunday that I wanted to share, and then turned it into a meme. Since I can't make it all pretty, here, have sparkles instead.

you know you're addicted to c&c when...

- Comment with the obvious.
- It can be made up or something that actually happened.
- Mine actually happened.
- Laugh.

Comments

sob this is all true

[20-lbs-of-crazy.livejournal.com]

...you contemplate buying episodes of a canon you already have on DVD from iTunes so you can load them on your iPod touch and will have an easy way to canon review no matter where you are.

...you should be running off to work because you're LATE, but instead stop to post a meme to GDS.

EDIT:

...your main reason for going to Borders for lunch is not the coupon and the last-minute shopping opportunity, but the free wi-fi and the chance to pick up on tags because work blocked LiveJournal and you're still mad about that.

...you track comments on posts to the comm so you can at least read the comments through e-mail notifications while you're stuck at work.

[bluffing-ruffle.livejournal.com]

You know you're addicted to C&C when you set an alarm just to wake up at an appropriate time to post your damn log. /amused

You know you're addicted to C&C when not only do all your dreams and nightmares happen at your workplace, but consistently involve at least three characters to boot.

You know you're addicted to C&C (or that you need more exciting friends) when co-workers go bowling and you're pretty sure you'll have more fun watching the latest meme instead.

You know you're addicted to C&C when sitting through a new book or movie all you can think about is 'this would make a great character in the comm'.

MY LIFE

[ironjill.livejournal.com]

You know you're addicted to C&C when you have push e-mails on your phone so you can tag on breaks.

[turns-to-fire.livejournal.com]

You know you're addicted to C&C when you get up and leave class, pretending to go to the bathroom, to check your email on your iPod because there's a meme going on.

I HAVE DONE THIS. GUILTY.

[ironjill.livejournal.com]

I do this at work! When my phone dings I'm like:

"/furiously finishes tray. AWESOME MORE MONEY! /goes to the 'bathroom'"

[fuck-chapstick.livejournal.com]

...you borrow your friend's iPod touch just so you can check and respond to tags when you're out.

...you discuss the IC drama going on in the comm with the same fervency that regular people use when discussing their day-to-day issues.

...you spend a considerable chunk of your time thinking up journal names for characters you want to app.

[shiromadoushi]

*does the 2nd one. So much that she has confused a friend thinking she was talking about RL people :DD*

[shiromadoushi]

When you find that LJ's been blocked from work (temporarily. Long story) so you go use a work around you got from being in good with the IT guy to see WTF the meme was that someone just posted.

(true fax :D)

[tracing.livejournal.com]

... you spend each day eagerly/furiously checking your email to see if your application got accepted.

[wolfofmibu]

I'm noticing a pattern of e-mail abuse in these |D

[bestmachine.livejournal.com]

...you obsessively refresh your email, even though your email refreshes automatically every five minutes anyway.

...you see a character and then think, hmm, now what super power would they have?

...while easing out of the sleep in the morning, instead of having half-awake dreams about getting into the shower or having breakfast, you dream about the tag you're expecting to receive.

...you get sad because, since you're on hiatus, most of the emails you receive won't be tags. :[

...YOU'RE ON A MEME INSTEAD OF PACKING AHAHA HAaha ha ha.

[magicalworld]

Adama would totally have Paralyzing Glare/Laser Eyes, wouldn't he?

[wolfofmibu]

- you check your inbox every 5 minutes to see if a meme has come up
- DROP EVERYTHINGDSHJFK IF A MEME COMES UP
- or an open RP post
- or one of Elle's Dare memes or Cry Wolf since those fill up so fast

- you pretend your cell phone is your comm
- you start acting like your character IRL
- you freak the fuck out when you submit an application even if you worked your ass off on it and feel pretty confident

- you scour the IC memes and dear_mun for castmates to drag here
- you practice making combos for posts
- you suddenly realize 15 icons is not enough expressions for how hideous C&C is and push the Paid Account button
- ALMOST ALL THE ENTRIES ON YOUR PERSONAL JOURNAL ARE ABOUT CAPEANDCOWL ANYWAY. FFT.

[frostmourned.livejournal.com]

Seconded on all of the above.

[chickengood.livejournal.com]

When you're discussing / gossiping with friends about characters and memes.

When you can no longer look at Marvel or DC characters without thinking about their incarnations in the game.

When the first things you check at the computer are: your e-mail for notifications, your friends list, then C&C.

When you obsess over downloading Nomad #4 because Rikki and Tommy were going to appear in it.,,

When you dream that Tony Stark's Initiative is trying to track down Kiden from NYX during a Godzilla attack.

[ironjill.livejournal.com]

asdlfasdlkj BEST DREAM EVER

[frostmourned.livejournal.com]

Instead of ganking the character (or running away in this case) in game, you stare at them and study the moves for future canon updates.

And then get this.

[ironjill.livejournal.com]

LMAO DID YOU REALLY JUST STAND AROUND?

[ddouble.livejournal.com]

...when you start using 'hideous' to describe JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING in your daily life.,,.

[chickengood.livejournal.com]

LMFAO THIS

[aymiah]

Oh right I have another one

- WHEN YOU USE TWO DIFFERENT BROWSERS EVERY DAY - ONE FOR YOUR CHARACTERS AND ONE FOR YOUR PERSONAL JOURNAL. YAAAY FIREFOX AND SAFARI oh my god.
- You start shipping everything in sight, sometimes just because of one single comment.

- You end up writing drabbles or full-on fics about characters in your personal journal
- orrr just create a whole new writing journal entirely if you write about C&C so much
- BUT IF YOU'RE LIKE ME YOU JUST PUT UP WRITING FILTERS I guess fft.

- You get more excited about a plot coming up you made/are participating in than if you won the lottery.
- You always have a tab in your browser for your GMail inbox. Always.



- Also if anyone else besides me uses the 'Add Note' feature for every character in C&C to keep everyone straight. Yes. Every single character.

[yippiekiyay.livejournal.com]

I just use two different browsers for two different characters to be logged in. And I don't check my personal LJ for weeks at a time now.

Wait, what's the Add Note feature? I have a dick of a time trying to keep everybody's muns straight with their characters.

[thanoodles.livejournal.com]

aaaaaaaaand when you stay up until 6AM on a school day because THE MEMES ARE ON AMERICA TIME

[aymiah]

fdskl poor noodles /pats

[taughttolisten.livejournal.com]

-when you find yourself idly wondering what powers you'd assign to characters from truly ridiculous canons (like, idk, Gilbert and Sullivan operettas)

[poorduck.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I want to know what powers the characters from the Mikado would have.

[kukucrazywild.livejournal.com]

...you check this comm on your iPhod while your on your senior class trip. I am so ashamed.

[thanoodles.livejournal.com]

DOES EVERYBODY CHECK INTERNET ON THEIR PHONE

[meowminx]

...when you buy these:

[kaloskaiagathos.livejournal.com]

EVERYBODY GO HOME LB WINS THE MEME

[noelleno.livejournal.com]

...when you actually start to like characters you hate just because of the antics going on in the game.

...when your iTunes suddenly becomes overrun by character-theme/ship playlists

...when you can just look at somebody's intro post and ship thim with at least three people ingame right off the bat

...when every other game is suddenly unappealing because of a lack of certain characters

...when your memories are starting to fill up with logs/threads from the game

...when half your journal is your secret-rping-double-life filter

...when half of what you draw is from this damn gamejigkdslfgjdskl

[shiromadoushi]

That first reason so very much applies here. (*coughAlastaircough*)

[lassiface.livejournal.com]

....when your place of work makes you put up a DC/Marvel fixture of product and you think about buying the tattoos and sending them to players of those characters.

[liverletdie]

Hajsjs. DID THEY REALLY?

[justlikeherson.livejournal.com]

When you create new labels on your gmail account for characters you interact with regularly, so you can find old conversations quickly. And color code the labels.

in related news

[taughttolisten.livejournal.com]

when you look at Jude Law and think

WHAT IS SARAH ALTMAN DOING IN THIS MOVIE

[ajrimmer-ssc.livejournal.com]

When you wish your place of employment still had the Marvel characters floating around in the park, in spite of only ONE of them being present in the game, just so you can take pictures of yourself with them to post to GDS.

(Used to be Wolverine, Spider-Man, Storm, Captain America and the Green Goblin, JUST FOR THE RECORD.)

[theprimerprime.livejournal.com]

- When you can't see a PB for one of the non-human characters and not think of that character. Bruce Campbell has got me seeing Sentinel in places where Sentinel really ought not be. And now you people and your Green Lantern cast are threatening to ruin Alexander Siddig for me. Someone needs to app Julian Bashir before it's too late.

[noelleno.livejournal.com]

RUIN I BEG YOUR PARDON

but no your pb is my absolute favorite ingame but you already knew this

[grindcore.livejournal.com]

FUCK SLEEP, THAT LOG NEEDS TAGGING, ALL NIGHT IF NEED BE......

i did this once

never again

[rockpet.livejournal.com]

Oh god I've done that before orz

[shinygreenjesus.livejournal.com]

... when you run another RP, and occasionally neglect said RP due to this one
... when your other mods yell at you for this
... when your sleep schedule revolves around CnC

[shiromadoushi]

That last one is the reason I now go to bed at 1am (or later @_@). Even when I mean to go to sleep at 10:30. Or 11. Or anytime where waking up at 6:30 the next morning is viable.

CAUSE EVERY TIME I GO TO BED EARLY SOMEONE PUTS UP A MEME OR SOMETHING THAT I MISS T_T

[rockpet.livejournal.com]

...When you're having a bad day away from the computer you think "I could be tagging right now..."

...When you have that thought even when it's not a bad day.

...Spam canon is just as important as game canon.

...The fact that none of game canon will never ever be canon IRL

...Not that it matters because spam and game canon are now part of your personal head canon.

...The 5 characters per player rule is actually a point of some stress in your life.
