(Sorry if these are repeats. I'm listing things That I've done in past plays.)
-Every time you see a tan, scruffy, muddy dog, you say "Come here, Sandy!"
-You have seriously threatened to sue all those stupid singers who rip off theatre songs.
-You forgot what color your bedroom walls are painted beacuse you can't see past all those vintage Broadway posters
-You are very cautious around carnivorous plants.
-You remember all your lines from the school play in first grade.
-You have chosen a name for every extra, group, and numbered role you've ever had
-Sometimes you confuse your real identity with a role you previously had.
-You memorize all the songs, lines, actions and background music measures in every script you've been given.
-In a dream, Your dead female relative visted you from beyond the grave, and she and her ghastly, dead friends sang you a song about how Tzeitel would be killed if she married Lazar.
-You find yourself singing or humming bits of every musical number you've been in.
-You nuzzle the parasol you danced with to the tune of 'For it was Mary' and say "That's our song, honey!" whenever you hear anything remotely similar to it.
-You can't seem to find Burt Healey's station on your radio.

...wow...I went through all 6 pages, and copied down all of the ones that applied to me in a Microsoft Word, with size 12 font...and I got up to 5 pages...I would post them all, but that'd be a long post, and people would be annoyed at the repeats... as for any new ones...
~You know you're a Theatre Geek when you sit in the audience of a show and whisper to the person next to you, "I helped make that prop, and I painted part of that, OH! And I helped make that costume!!"
~You still have the number of your Freshman Theatre class' Student Aide listed in your cell phone in your Junior year as the first role you saw him/her play. (happened to my sister when she was in high school...i wonder if she still has 'Snoopy' listed in her cellphone...?) 4laugh

9/10 things anybody wrote in any given yearbook of yours involves a theatre joke, a stage nickname, or is telling you to keep acting.

You know you go to a Performing Arts High School for Theatre and are a Theatre Geek when...you burst into song from the musical the school just finished and THE ENTIRE CLASS joins you and the Teachers don't mind it. My personal favorite is when I cry "OHHHHH TI MOUNE!" and everyone repeats it. It's great.

sorry if i have repeated any i got them from http://www.mts.net/~skirzyk/jokes.htm but i have found them on various other sites too. i put the ones that aply to me. "Q" is not just a letter.
You're off when everyone else is working
You say "break a leg" to friends en route to job interviews or weddings rather than "good luck."
You can only read from a light that is blue.
You can't remember what daylight looks like.
You feel naked without your keys attached to your belt loop
You feel naked without your Maglite, Leatherman and Gerber.
95% of your wardrobe is black
You watch the TV waiting for intermission, not half-time
You tell more stories of what went wrong on shows you've done than what went smoothly
You start wondering what it feels like to be a prop
You know anything can be fixed with gaffe tape, tie-line and a safety pin.
Your diet consists of fast food or microwave food.
Your Halloween costume in some way utilizes running blacks and gaffe tape.
Varying your diet means ordering the #2 instead of the #3 or eating with your left hand instead of your right
You insist on spelling "theatre" with an "re" not an "er."
People recognize you by the sound of your keys jingling down the hallway.
Going to a restaurant means ordering and sitting down in McDonald's rather than the drive through.
At home, you "strike" the dishes in your kitchen
If someone asks you what time it is, you respond with something like, "Half hour 'til half hour."

you're closing the store that you work at and when they turn off the radio you unknowingly start singing 'The Day But Today' at the top of your lungs. and then your best friend at work glomps you on the head for it...

...if you can recite the lines and songs of the play you're seeing by heart while the actors are doing it.
...if musicals are the only type of music you listen to.

-While the rest of your class hates Shakespeare with a passion, you can recite most monologues from "A Midsummer NIght's Dream" by heart and know exactly what page they're own.
-To cure boredom, you put on your PotO DVD and aspire to learn 'The Phantom of the Opera Theme' in French (Currently what I'm doing)
-You like some theatre artists so much, if someone doesn't have an inkling who they are, you sing their most popular songs out of the blue.
-You speak and write specifically in Old English because you're script demands it/You learn an entire language because of the setting of the play.
-When you wear stage makeup to school and blatantly defend that you are "Elphaba".
-You've sung so much your friends threaten you with an actual weapon if you sing "When You Got It, Flaunt It" one more time.
-You've been threatened with a stage weapon and taken it seriously.
-You know exactly who to hit smeone on stage and make it sound real.
-When you realize 'thespian' does not mean 'lesbian'.
-When someone calls you actor instead of thespian, you feel angered.
-When someone says 'You were a good extra' you correct them by saying 'I was a good character'.

~Every pair of pants and shoes you own have some kind of paint splattered on them. And you can name which show that paint came from. (YES)
~If someone says something that reminds you of a musical, you MUST burst into song. (You should have seen my friends and I after/during Les Mis and Lucky Stiff... we broke out in a kick line in the middle or my friends kitchen once oo)
~Your friends have come to accept this. (They join in)
~You've dressed up as characters from plays for Hallowe'en.
~You have, at any point of your life, been able to correlate your love life to a musical, characters and all. (YES.)
~You think Michael Crawford is pretty damn good looking, despite the fact he's old enough to be your grandfather. (Hahaha)
~The medicine cabinet doesn't lead to an underground lake and this upsets you.

-You manage to answer a question on a Biology test through musical means and with slow reasoning.
(ie. RENT, Question: If a virus attacks your T-Cells, what system does it affect? Reasoning: "'My T-Cells are low, I regret that news' WAIT! That guy had AIDS...AIDS...AFFECTS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM! YES! RENT ROCKS!")

You're starting to figure out the secrets, i.e., how to successfully de-tangle your hair after it's been teased, the reason why stage wrinkles don't look like real wrinkles and why all female casts are so difficult to work with.
You've chronicled all of your past roles all the way back to the 3rd grade pageant and you've decided that (apart from MAYBE 1 or 2 roles) you've been typecast all along.
You'll never forget when your entire English class burst out singing "Summer Lovin'" from Grease, for no reason, harmony parts and all. And you will repeat the story at every available opportunity.
