~When you forget your school schedule, therefore questioning the room you're about to walk into, and must run back to the Theatre to double-check with your teacher/friends/schedule taped to the inside of your binder which is sitting somewhere on stage.

Every time someone says 'on the right track' you quietly sing "On The Right Track" from Pippin (and I do! We did it last year with my high school and I was the only one in my drama class who was in it, so my teacher and I would do that)

Oh....I have more:
When the only songs that are in your head during school are Broadway songs (One day, I went through like....12 musicals)
When you listen to Broadway radio...not regular radio.

~you're alarm clock rings, and you burst into a rendition of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown"
~You walk about the neighborhood looking at Christmas Lights and all the while listening to "Christmas Bells" from RENT
~Every cat in your neighborhood which bears any resemblance to a character from CATS will forever and always be that cat in your mind.
~You have a song from a musical to describe every emotion you ever experience
~You burst into song. Constantly. Every day. Because.
~You have more than two recordings of any one musical (highlights albums of course do not count)
~You have memorized lines from songs in alternate languages.
~You were the only White Jewish One-Woman Act at your public middle school talent show, and you performed "Macavity."

- You run up to random people and give them hugs [I know this does not directly apply to theater, but it happens more often in theater geeks than anything else]
- You leave your whole backpack excluding your script at the stage, and don't notice until you get in the car
-Your cell fone ringtone is from a musical
- If someone says, "too late!" you start singing the whole pirate/ daughter scene from Pirates of Penzance
- On any kind of survey, if it says "Have you been on a stage?" you answer "All the world's a stage"
- "All the world's a stage... I just hope we're all on the same script"
- When you get a concept without looking at the textbook in class, you say that you are "off-book"
- You joined this guild
Okay that's it for now... I'm sure I willl think of more sometime or other...

~You know the answer to every "light bulb" joke that revolves around theatre
~You can explain to people why certain parts of the theatre are called what they are. (Green room, house, upstage/downstage, ect.)
~You stay after the show every night to pick up costumes and charge people to get them back just so you'll have enough money to get the tickets to a show you want to see
~You have your costume and makeup on at least 15 minutes before the house opens and can do 3 other peoples make-up
~The first place you check when you get to school is the theatre to see if you can get your backpack out before your first class
~You can help the get costumes for a show out of your everyday wardrobe
~You know why having a left over safty cable is a really bad thing (really happened once we still have the remaining parts of that instrument)
~You know the story behind "Which proves, if god had a competent group of techies, the wprld would have been finished sooner"
~You still question being suspended for bringing that whip to school freshman year ("It's a prop, I swear!")
~Maglite, Gerber, Letherman
~"No thanks, I don't drink" is not in your vocabulary

Tinnumir ~Your favorite pair of pants are your set pants. ~Your set shirt is so paint-covered, you can't tell what the original colour was, and your set pants are literally being held together by ducttape. -Instead of using ducttape...you use gaff tape and think it is even better then ducttape

...the rest of the campus is at the homecoming dance and you're in the costume shop sewing bells on s**t.
...you check your e-mail daily for notices about changes in work calls and rehearsal schedules. And if you didn't get and e-mail, you make walk across campus in rain, sleet, whatever to double check the call bored.
...you go to dinner and you see every other person working on the show because it's the only place close enough to be in and out of in the hour you have for dinner break.
...you know what Rosco 388 means AND you know the name of that color.
...someone tells you a dance show is coming and you automatically break out the booms.

~You met your significant other during theatre class/rehearsal/other related activity.
~You first got to second base backstage during a rehearsal. (heehee.)
~You are the king/queen/despot of tongue twisters. (I am a mother pheasant plucker.)
~You learned how to sew from shortening costumes hours before curtain.
~Your parents are/were theatre nerds.
~You have played a member of the opposite sex almost as often as not. (Example: Me, short, curvy, Denoument as grumpy, sleazy Simon Stimson in Our Town.)
~You check out 14 items from the library weekly. 13 of them are plays (I promise that my boyfriend really does this)
~You would sell your little brother for a chance to see any Broadway show. (I'm banking on Thouroughly Modern Millie, right now.)

PossessedByDevil ~All your big word vocabulary come from shows that have used them so you can't forget what they mean. ~You get excited in history class because their on the topic of the french revolution and you know the answers to all of the questions because of Les Mis and The Scarlet Pimpernel. Also there's the musical Ragtime for the industrial revolution. You know what? You just get excited in history when any topic you are doing has a show based around it. Oooh yea! Go Les Mis!

When you have a million backstage stories to tell. 3nodding
If you've been in Les Miserables and hear people pronounce it Less Miserables *shivers* and you freak out
When you call your drama teacher or Director by thier first name.

Yeah...most apply to me too...*sigh*
~You wish you could change Ethnicity to become a character in certain shows. *coughrentastomcollinscough*.
~I don't know if this is just our theatre: You hear "HEADS UP!" or anything relating to an amount of time left, you have to shout "Thank you!" back.
~You have no romantic inclinations to any of the people you've ever been married to in a show.
~You've derived over 30 nicknames that never caught on, but are remembered vividly whenever meantioned. (froggy, toad, Wart...etc.)
~matsamu
