You know that you use mefi too much when ...

... you dream about getting important mefi mail. I woke up this morning, slightly distraught and disappointed over something that never happened and not even remembering who emailed me in the dream. Seriously, they should just DSM mefi - it's a real addiction disorder, people.

...if your first thought upon reading this is to MeFimail Foci a funny message, but then you think it would be funnier if everyone did it, then you realize that maybe that wouldn't be so funny if it was alot of people so you post a comment to the thread to encourage some fun while reminding everyone not to be an asshole about this (and probably not even do it), 'cause there's always two assholes, maybe three, in this crowd.

Then you don't correct the 'alot' misspelling, for more fun.

...your dinner conversations with the significant other revolve around what happened on MetaFilter today.

"So, did you see that stupid-ass AskMe today?"
"Which one?"

I would just like you all to know that a few months ago I had a dream where Metafilter won the Nobel Peace Prize; thwarting human trafficking and facilitating global communication were specifically cited as the reasons for the award. When I heard the news I was so excited that I screamed, and while I was in a room full of people no one else seemed to react or care. I spent the rest of my dream looking for my one friend who would care so we could both be excited together, but I looked and looked and just couldn't find him. Then I woke up.

True story.

If you're dreaming about a website, you should probably dial back on your internet a wee bit.

... when you notice that there hasn't been MetaTalk past today so you just post the first ridiculous thing that comes to mind.

Is this just a way of saying SFMMA (Send the Fucking MeMail Already)?

The last thing you see after you've turned out the lights and just before you drop off to sleep is the green of AskMe scrolling by-- and you can read some of the words.

This happened to me for the nth time two nights ago.

You know you use Mefi too much when you get 10,000 favorites. :)

I have dreamed about posting AskMes.

... every life decision you make is preceded by the question 'what would AskMe tell me to do?'

... you re-read the previous version of this thread and try to favourite this comment, only to discover you already have.
