I actually did do that. And it worked...twice I think. The third time I tripped over a chair and well...the escape didn't really work out. XD
-For Halloween you beg your roommates to get a skull and a walkie-talkie just so you can scream out "PUNY MORTALS!! PREPARE TO BE ROLLED THROUGH THE GATES OF HELL!"

... after scouring every used-book and thrift store you know, because it's so very out of print, shrieking when you find a copy, holding it over your head like you were just awarded a quest item in Zelda, and reading it from cover to cover in less than two days.
- you simultaneously almost explode your laptop and your sky+ because you're trying to keep up with Most Haunted Live, FlashForward, Stargate Universe, CSI Miami, Warehouse 13 AND keep refreshing the TTG Site to see if they've released the damn chapter yet.....and keep checking the Bad Taste Bears site for the Christmas bear..... *sigh* Now I just sound OCD

- When you think about Morgan frequently for an entire month because you know she's got some issues with her life, then at the end of the month you get to watch her become even less happy with her life, which then ends, then you spend an entire month thinking about her even more frequently.
Apparently I managed to associate a song I was listening to a lot with Morgan during the first half of that last one, because shortly after I started listening to it, it reminded me of Morgan every time I heard it.
-When you read at your computer (or just get bored, for that matter) you grab the small electric keyboard next to your desk and start mindlessly playing the Monkey Island theme on it with one hand.

When you see someone struggling to solve a problem and you start listening Good Lechuck's theme in your head and start asking 'Did you try ....? or plainly saying 'Use ____ with ____' (I'm still unable to get into a situation where "Use Merkey with yourself" could apply, but I already used "Use Breath Mints with Yourself")
