You know you're obsessed with the Matrix when...

Matrix code starts to make sense to you.

You don't eat blue M&M's.

You contemplate the flavor of Tasty Wheat

You decide that chicken does not actually taste like chicken.

You are scared your toaster might one day rise up against you...

.. so you give it weekends off.

You regularly try to exit the Matrix through your cell phone...

.. the phone company has given you a preferred customer membership due to all the long distance phone calls to Trinidad.

You order a cake from a fancy french restaurant and are dissapointed it doesn't have the ... zip you were expecting.

Someone mentions deja vu and you look around nervously for 'changes in the Matrix'

You get really excited when you find out you'll be learning matrices in math class...

... because you think it has something to do with Kung Fu and bullet-time.

You see the WB symbol and think it stands for the Wachowski Brothers.

When reading a book on particle physics and quantum theory, you come across the "Planck Length", which is the smallest possible interval of distance, the "Planck Interval", which is the smallest possible division of time, and the "Planck Mass", the smallest possible amount of mass...and you instantly think, "Aha! We've deduced the pixelation and frame refresh rate of the graphics program that runs the Matrix!"

You help your best friend move into a new place, realize his new apartment number is "101", and you instantly start to wonder...could he be the one?

You get real nervous whenever you drive down one of those expressways that are in a sunken ditch rather than on an extended overpass.

You start to re-think your plans to have an extensive display of edged weaponry hanging on the walls of your grand staircase.

.... good ones... ;D (I especially like the first one... clever clever...)

You think keymaking is a fascinating and exciting job.

You hear Copland's 'The Praises of Zion' (and a myriad of other hymns along the same lines) and immediately think of the Matrix.

People look at you in confusion and alarm when you say you're going to 'jack out' for a bit.

You refer to the internet as 'The Construct'

Deus Ex Machina (God from a machine) means something quite different to you than it does to most people.


BTW: I love the new sig.

Let me get this straight...I use a sig banner expressing my fervent hope and wish that the United States is never again invaded by a foreign power, and that the US and Canada never make war on each other ever again, and I get told that my sig is "not appropriate" and possibly offensive.

I use a sig making fun of one of our most harmless recent Presidents, and urging people to elect an oppressive war-mongering dictator for President of the United States, and I get complimented.

You people are sick.

(j/k, of course!)
