words like "intermission," "scrim," and "cue" hold a special place in your vocabulary...





to you, a facial is a clean pack of baby wipes after a performance...





you own more stage make-up than regular make-up...





even when you're not in your school's production everyone automatically assumes that you are...





when someone calls a show CD a soundtrack, you immediately snap back that it's an "original cast recording"!





You work out to Rent music at the gym...





You can relate anything to a showtune...i.e. someone mentions a shooting and "Cell Block Tango" comes to mind...





You're more concerned with the Tonys than the Emmys...





You know what that last one means...





Your coworkers/classmates, in a moment of pure boredom, ask you what you collect. you reply "Playbills" then you have to explain WHAT a playbill is. idiots.





When your friends asks "what do you want to do?" You can't just say "I don't know." You have to sing it, a la "little shop".





You actually sing all your favourite songs in the correct key because it just sounds wrong anyway else.





When you get in a fight with another MT fan you start naming the randomest shows possible to see who has better knowledge of off- Broadway, off-off-broadway and workshop only shows. You win, of course, with your triumphant declaration "No, Douglas Sills turned down DRS for rehearsal in New Jersey of The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T!" or something of the sort...





when you have to write a paragraph about the music you like in spanish class, and you raise your hand and say: "Senora, como se dice showtunes en espanol?"





you know that Gwen Stefani totally gets it.





when you use part of "La Vie Boheme" as part of your graduation speech.





when you're out past curfew, your mom calls the theater before any of your friends' houses.





You get stared at in the street when you and your friend are walking along sharing one iPod and singing Wicked at the top of your voices!





In your school production you are asked to lead the rehearsals as you know all the songs already and can pick up the dance moves in seconds.





When your music assessment is to write a review of your favourite album in 500+ words, and you pick a show album. And when you're barely started, it's already 870 words...





you know exactly how many minutes there are in a year...





Family friends buy you Broadway soundtracks for your birthday...





You keep ALL your programs from any show you've seen whether it was on Broadway or a local show with your friends in it...





You can convince your parents to let you stay home from school and still perform that night in your show.





Who cares about Bennifer? Idina and Taye are your favorite couple ever!





When you and a friend got so excited just because it was Broadway week on American Idol...





You know anything can be fixed with gaff tape, Mortite,


sculpt-er-coat, a sharpie, tie-line, a safety pin or enough staples.





"Practical" and "flat" are nouns.





You now hate Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz for making Elphie look so bad all these years





You know all the La Vie Boheme references, who they are, what they mean...





Your favorite 5 numbered code is 24601





Whenever someone asks you what the time is, your immediate response is "well it's gotta be close to midnight!"





Your room is painted green...maybe you subconciously dedicated it to Wicked?





You're smiling and nodding your head right now...welcome to the club.

You finish your extended essay shortly after midnight. Your smile of satisfaction fades when you remember to start on your World Lit. Paper.





You've sold your soul...to a teacher...for a C...for the 9 weeks...





Your idea of impure thoughts is whether or not to copy math homework





You don't really cheat - you just tell people the answers.





Your thesis for the Extended Essay is whether or not Bert and Ernie are gay.

Can we say EXTRA CREDIT??





You exceed the 4200 word limit on the Extended Essay (by over 1000 words).





You ask what your summer reading assignment will be in October.





When you are home sick, you can't help but wonder what work you're missing and what your homework is.





When you're watching TV, you feel guilty because not all of your homework is done.





You find yourself spelling words out on scantrons. You are deeply saddened when you can only find one letter of "IB SUCKS!"





Your TI-89 has made you stupid.





You actually believe "mental health days" are excused absences.





Brewing coffee takes too long, so you just eat the beans.





You get a full upper body workout putting your backpack on.





You skip breakfast so you can get to school early to get in some extra cramming time and gain that "upper edge" on the rest of the class.





The bags under your eyes are heavier than the ones carrying your textbooks.





You always seem to have one continuous headache.





You can count the number of hours you sleep each week on one missing hand.





You've taught yourself how to take naps while walking to your next class.





You actually put the apostrophe in front of the word "'cause."





You still get kicks saying "Your epidermis is showing."





You clean up your room and find a bed.





Everything you know about sex, you learned from the English reading list.





You find all the "glitches" in movies.





You've mastered the art of procrastination so well that your research paper finishes printing just seconds before you have to leave for school.





You get to college and realize the classes you are taking seem really familiar.





Your college professors' grading systems seem a little too lenient.





You dread the word rubric





You hold "parties" to study.





The only words you ever say in Spanish class are "No sé."





The only French you know is "J'aime manger le poission."





You no longer speak English -- You speak a combination of English, German, Spanish, French, Portugese, Swedish, Dutch, Chinese, Russian, Norwegian, Hebrew, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, and Polish.





Your backpack has an imprint of your back in what little remains of the padding.





16+2= ...wait let me get my graphing calculator!





The urge to shout "Sir, yes sir" overwhelms you and...You do it





You start to laugh hysterically when you're writing a bibliography because a book has TWO authors





You brag that you only got 2 hours of sleep last night





You write a two page answer to a one sentence question





When writing down decimals, you don't understand why you can't write them to the 14th decimal place





You faithfully copy words without vowels in them, yet somehow understand them
