When it's late (dif time zone),you are exhausted & ready to go to bed, and realize that you ARE going to stay up over 3 hours more just to see if the CTP Angels can throw a roll over the fence.

When you see the new people moving in next door and say "Honey, look. The alternate houseguests are moving in!"

I am so glad I'm not the only one addicted enough to stay up to find out if the CTP Angels are successful in their mission...(while dh heads up to bed, screaming, "leave them alone dear, you have a life"

*heavy sigh! :)

You pray for rainy days so you won't feel guilty about being on the boards all day.

You know your addicted when you haven't mowed your lawn in 3 weeks and the Saturday they all decide to walk out you avoid the lawnmower and now miniature trees are growing on the front lawn.

You know your addicted when instead of telling someone to stop acting like an idiot, you say "stop being such a Boswell"....yeesh!!!!

When you go out to the BB compound ... walk for ever ... scale a fence and throw TP over to the HGs with your other CTP Angels and can't wait to get back to the boards to tell the story!

You know you're addicted to BB when you wait with bated breath to hear whether or not the BB Angels' TP mission succeeded or failed.

Then, you scream at Jamie through your monitor, "There's toilet paper in the garden for you! Look in the garden, Jamie! ...Jamie!!!"

When you want to go see a therapist about your BB addiction but you can't take time out from BB to keep your appointment.

Dancer, my dream can top yours!! I dreamed me and another girl(don't know who she was but she's not important) were in the BB house with Eddie. We were complaining that Eddie treated us like his little sisters or something. We both had a huge crush on him. Well there was a challenge and me and Eddie won. Our prize was to go into a private room to watch a movie. Well not going into details, this is a family board, but this room had no cameras. Believe me, without the cameras watching, Eddie didn't treat me like a sister. :)
I had a smile on my face the whole next day!!!! :)

when you can't go to bed because there is no one else to transcribe the live feeds.....

or the first thing you tell your daughter after school is that the TP Angels got into the BigBrother compound.

when you forget to eat lunch and do the laundry

When you should be working on your cover letter to apply for jobs but all you do is browse this fan club website for hours and hours...........

(Some more I thought of - and YES, all of these were done by me or happened to me):

- You check this ENTIRE THREAD of messages back to early August just to make sure you don't repeat any "BB addict" signs

- You call the owner of the computer company that sponsored the phone-a-thon in Rockford, IL at 3:00 AM (TWICE) to complain that it wasn't fair to target Brittany and use corporate money to do so

- You start singing along with the HGs toward the end of their 9/19/00 broadcast of the Big Brother theme song with their lyrics (and act amazed at yourself because you already memorized their lyrics)

- You walk from one room of your house into another, and as you do, you look up at the air conditioning vent, pretend it's a camera and that you are on Big Brother, and say "Hi there, Bob!"

- You turn on the live feeds as you are getting ready for bed, just so you can brush your teeth at the same time as Eddie

- Just before you turn off the live feeds for the night, you say "good night" to each of the remaining House Guests, in the Waltons-style, "Good night Eddie, Good night Jamie, Good night Josh, Good night Curtis, Go to bed already, George".

You know you're a BB Addict when:

You go out and buy a new PC with POWER & ZING!!

You walk into work and announce to your co-workers(who aren't into BB like you) "ok guys, here's the latest on my BB family"...

Your husband has Sept 29th and 30th on the kitchen calendar circled in red. . .

You anxiously keep asking your son if he REALLY has to use the 'net for his homework assignment now or can't he wait until after . . . ummm, maybe midnight??

Your teenage sons are finally draw into the 'net activities and they MUST know what's going on in between doing their tons of homework.

Your doxie is giving you that sad eyed look 'cause you keep saying "when I get my pug I'm gonna name her Pugita . . . "

You've got your box of Kleenex ready for that last show!!!

You live in the Pacific Time zone and can't wait until the "Live" show to see if it's George or Jamie that walks. So you're watching the Quad Cam at 5:00 pm and sitting around with the HG's waiting for the show to start. At 5:03 you hear Julie Chen say, "Hello Houseguests" and you actually say, "Hi Julie!" out loud. :-)

I hate being an obsessive.

You starting typing again . . . lightening strikes are close . . .power surges make lines on your monitor despite 2 protectors . . .aaarrrggghh . . . keep reading, keep typing . . .power goes off and on in four rapid strokes, You curse as you finally turn off computer. You wait 30 more min . . . it’s only 2:30am after all. Call power company . . .lines down. DH up and gently steers you toward bedroom . . . . knows you need professional help.

Up early . . .still raining . . .hit coffee switch and press power on potentially fried computer . . .IT WORKS . . .{what does DH know anyway). Start dialing . . .wetter rural lines get you 13k. . . try again . . .14k. . . can’t wait . . . start page can’t be found . . . but BBFC comes up. . . Thank you God. . . Slowly you move in . . . remembering when 14.4 was the norm and you had no patience for it . . . but that was before BBFC . . .

OH NO . . . lose connection . . .try again, again, again . . .stare dejectedly at dialer window for 45 min as it tries over and over and over . . . realize that maybe . . . you might be addicted.
