So I thought we could have a thread to share our more embarassing geek moments when we realize that we have, in fact, watched TOO MUCH ER and/or spend too much time on this board. I'll start, because I just had an "oh my god, I need a life" moment while studying for another exam... YKYOWE/NW... (You Know You're Obsessed With ER/Noah When...) - You're reading an essay about Mentor/Protégé relations for a psychology class and you immediately try to apply it to Carter/Benton
- Any mention of aliens makes you grin happily, which confuses people around you.
- You're discussing the pros and cons of euthanasia and DNR orders in class, and someone mentions an example of "that ER episode, I think it was one of the first, when Carter had this old lady who was a DNR and he had to stand by and, like, explain to That Lucy Girl what was going on until the patient died... And he looked sad..." and you know exactly what scene he's talking about.
- You can provide a full synopsis of that episode. In fact, you tell him, it's from season 6, and that's Abby, not The Lucy Girl.
- You return home and watch BSMH just to make sure you got the right scene in mind.
- You're on this board.
- You're on this board while you should be studying for exams.
Now come on, I know you all have those moments when you realize you're obsessed... confess.

Right now and because it just happened: YKYOWE/NW... when: - You are on the phone with someone and keep your laptop on your lap while talking, refreshing RSS feeds and this board every 30 seconds just in case... and hang up and realize you have no idea what the person on the phone talked about...
YKY VOWE/NW... (You know you're Very obsessed...) when: - ... same as above but you're not even sure who was on the phone with you...

YKYOWE/NW... when: - Your mother has to ask you the same thing for three times before she gets an answer just because you can't concentrate on what she's saying while you're looking for Noah's NEWS!!!

YKYOWE/NW... (You Know You're Obsessed With ER/Noah When...) - When the first site you go to when you connect to the internet . . . is this one.

YKYOWE/NW When you take time during your only 10 minute break of the day to find a computer and see if there are any updates on the board.
- When one of the TV channels is broadcasting "Myth of Fingerprints" and you actually consider changing dinner plans with a friend you haven't seen in years, who is visiting from Australia, just so you could stay home and watch it AGAIN.
... When you actually call the friend and ask if you can reschedule for tomorrow...
... and when the friend says "Yeah, I saw the TV guide. It's a Noah movie, isn't it?" She knows me too well...

YKYOWNW - You feel stupid smiling like crazy, alone at a subway station, because "Walkin' on the sun" by Smash Mouth comes out of speakers, and you see Carter walking in the snow and would really like him to bring you donuts .
- You notice a guy in flip flops in the train, wearing nail polish on his toe nails, and first you find it a bit weird, until you think "Why not?", and Noah's sister's voice comes to your head... "Too bad, I do..."

YKYOWE/NW...
You have to take an exam that you didn't prepare for because you spent all your time on the board.
You take your old keychain with Noah's picture and "ER" on it to the exam, just for luck.
you find out you did really well on that exam, and immediately you think you should go on the board and tell Claire that she was right- Noah DOES seem to bring you luck...! ;D
(I have never in my life had so much luck with guessing the right answers. So there ya go, it's official: Noah is my lucky charm!)

I'm so happy for you, Anna! Let's hope Noah's lucky factor is going to work with me too! ;D

YKYOWNW You wake up at 3:00am to check airamerica.com and listen to Hollywood!Clout... (it's 3:42am now, and Richard Greene announced more than once that Noah would be on air after the break at 3:30... still waiting... ) 3:46am and still no Noah, but Richard Greene just announced that he was hoping Noah would be there soon. Noah warned them that he was running a bit late... indeed... Ah! ;D 3:52 and finally he is there! ... Okay, that was short... and talks about politics that I didn't really get (I guess you need to have followed US news recently), and not so great sound (Noah was airing from a phone I'd say) Anyway, if anyone is interested: www.sendspace.com/file/k198kqObsessed Claire says "Good night!"

YKYOWE/NW:
* You made the ER tune your ringtone.
* You forget to actually answer your phone, because you immediately drift away into ER world when you hear your phone ring.
* You think ER is really starting when you hear your phone ring, and keep staring at your TV screen, but nothing happens.
* You start looking for your phone when ER is starting on TV. (reversed working, I guess...)
