3) You only go out three times a day to eat frozen burritos and michellina's.
4) Your girlfriend/boyfriend dumped you because he/she started hating going to the computer musem for your dates.
5) You name your computer.
6) You tell it goodnight and make sure to kiss it goodnight.

Please add to the neverending list!

15) You're up at 5:50 am, wondering "What the bloody hell am I doing here?"

1) Life...? You mean a cyberpet?
2) I spend all my time in the back room, not my bedroom, as that is where the comp is.
3) Mmm... burritos.
4) HAHAHA! I've never HAD a girlfriend and never will. And I'm proud of it.
5) Are you insulting Percy?
6) If you do this, get help. Soon.

3) I'm always in.
4) Girlfriend? I rather die....

Let me guess, drive 2 has your porn collection on it

Nope, no and non. Drive D has a bit of everything on it.
DB pro, VB 6, most of the games, my games media files e.t.c.
Drive C has Windows and the sims on it.

This computer is not 100% mine, I only use it because it's got the internet. (My computer's modem does not work @ all)

Ummmmm sorry but women/girls are kinda important... That said when I was your age the girls were kinda f*cked up/immature/annoying and not worth bothering with. BUT when you get older you kinda notice that the sweet innocent lil teenager thing is kinda cool, so long as you're not after a long term relationship with them! lol don't get me started

i guess i'm not a db programmer, as i don't suffer any of these afflictions (except maybe the one about perfecting a 3D model)

however, one i can add;
31)You use endif in VB then wonder why it tells you you're wrong

as for girls, they're great; they have
g1)Boobs
g2)Legs
(add to this list if you like)

33)You go very well on tests that are related to 3d geometry
34)Your never get "A's" on science projects because your teachers don't actually understand how hard it was for you to make that exact 3d replica of the ancient city pompeii..
35)You think of an use for every application that can be integrated with DB

38) While happily coding away, you become oblivious to the fact that the chair you've been sitting on for hours is giving you heamorriods.
39) Members of your family find you "sleep coding" at your desk even though the PC is off.
40) <-- this is how old you feel when you finish coding at 5 in the morning. (IF older THEN age = age + 20)
