You keep buying more and more, only to get scared at the prospect of starting painting again...:(

You take advantage of this kind of thread to post several posts in a row so you can up your count. (Or is that addicted to CMON?)

... your mouse and keyboard looks as painted as your miniatures (or rather miniature painting pallet),

... you need to buy a closet with drawers to house the miniatures you bought in the last 2 years.... twice

...you have more miniatures than you can ever paint and still buy a lot more with the excuse... they are sculpting examples/inspiration and then go out and buy some more.

... you tack your butt (pants) unknowingly to your chair with greenstuff while sculpting.

... you actually accidnetily put a paintbrush with paint in your mouth/drink and by now can distinguish some of the mayor paintbrands by taste alone.
(guilty on all accounts)

... one of your good friends keeps asking if he should restrain you when browsing minitureconventions and you keep on loading bags full of miniatures... even when you told him you would NOT buy much that day (again).

Dear gods and goddesses above...

I\'ve done almost all of these things...

I\'ve painted at work. During work hours.
I\'ve been forcibly restrained when passing places that sell minis.
I can identify GW and Citadel paints, not only by manufacturer taste... but colour.
I have painted my teeth by accident.
There are paint stains on my desk, mouse, mouse pad, keyboard, my pants, my shirts, the wall, the floor, my various tools that aren\'t actually related to painting normally, my webcam lens shows viewers an \'ice blue\' spot in the lower left...
I have boxes for minis that don\'t actually have boxes.
I have redecorated to make room for minis and displays for minis.
I have replied to this thread...
I have had people contact me here instead of by email, MSN, or phone...
CMON is my homepage, rather than anything else.
90% of my favourites links are to painting tutorials, or other painter\'s sites where I gather inspiration.
When I want to get dressed, I have to move my rolling work-station aside to get at my clothes...
I have more WIP\'s than completed works.
I know what pulling an IPM is, and think it\'s \'cute\'.
I have painted my wife\'s nails using enamel paints instead of regular polish, because it looks better.

Top that!

IPM = ipaintminis -- our beloved little posting freak. She\'s such a feature, here, that she has her own acronym.

1) you\'ve been nicknamed \"Forgeworld Guy\" :p

2) the above name came from the company itself (GW).

3) you read WD magazine

4) people have private messaged you at CMON since they believed it\'s easier to reach you that way than trying to email, ICQ, or call your cellphone.

5) for part 4, they were correct

6) you have a regular office job, yet have taken miniature stuff into work and actually been able to work on stuff at the office

7) for part 6, been able to work on it, but not at lunch...DURING ACTUAL WORK HOURS!!!

8) bonus is for part 7, if you\'ve done it during a meeting that you were attending (Yes, I have managed this!!!)

9) CMON is the only site that you must check daily, skipping even your own stock sites, news sites, etc

Number 8 was during a teleconferance but I\'m guessing that counts.
Hell, I\'ve even enlisted the aid of a couple of our mechanical engineers in building a toy lightsaber for my nephew for Halloween.
My boss saw it and thought it was cool.
The director asked if we could make one for his son.
My girlfriend works here overnight as an operator of sorts, she gets paid to be here, she has no real other responsibilities other than be here. She can do whatever she wants as long as she is here.
