You know you love Hammel too much when...

[Odion Martins]

I've scoured the site for this thread, if I've missed it, my apologies! Please delete this Admins!

Anyways, the game is simple. When you're in your every day life (OOC) and start comparing things to Hammel, write them down here for everyone's amusement!

I know I love Hammel too much when I am comparing my anticipation for next month's Challenges to how my students are anticipating their new seating arrangement in class. Oh, the agony!

I know I love Hammel too much when I see the general public and relate them to characters here. Like... that guy over there, he looks like he could be so-and-so. There's even seriously a girl at one of my clubs who like, 19, or something, but she's called George and is from London and is very tomboy-y. But no hats so boo. But yeah >< I don't even know anymore xD

I know I love Hammel too much when I watch a movie and compare the characters there to those on Hammel. Seriously, I could find exact replicas of our characters(or their characters, since the movie came first) in the entire cast of The Breakfast Club.

Seconding Pheli. Reading Frog and Toad to my daughters and I realize that Frog and Toad may as well be Sean and Josh.

Posting here again because it's funny and it actually happened - no joke.

I know I love Hammel too much when I call one of my close friends Gryphon... and their name is George (a guy). I... this is why I don't socialize!

But apparently they like Griffins so its cool.

I know I love Hammel too much when my friend Seth says "People tell me I look like Vanessa Hudgens' boyfriend, who is that?" and I almost say "Everett" instead of his play by who is Austin Butler

or

when I start calling a guy who comes to Caribou Coffee Monroe because he orders what Monroe would and he has combat boots.

I love those books! And it's so true, I can't even handle it! -spazzes-

I know I love Hammel too much when I am having a conversation with my husband about my characters as though they are my close personal friends. This isn't a big deal, since Dan is also a writer and we'll just chat about Hammel like the school is real. Meanwhile this is all happening in the car. Eventually, my best friend in the backseat listening in on the conversation eventually asks, "Who did you say has telekinesis?" >.>

You know he's the one, and you know they're true friends, when you can talk about your characters as if they're real people like it's the most normal thing ever.

I know I love Hammel too much when I casually comment on how any of my characters would handle a particular situation and my friends know exactly who and what I'm talking about. Because I never shut up about it. The same happens with them though, we're all hardcore tabletop and online role-players, so over half our conversations are about our character's latest antics.

overhearing a conversation and having to resist the urge to barge in with "I once wrote a thread about that!"

[Lugia *]

You start referring to Hammel characters as "friends" or "novel characters" because otherwise the conversation would just get too complicated.

I know I love Hammel too much when I respond to someone irl like one of my characters would and then get that "wtf?" blank stare from them for about 5-10 seconds. The most frequent offender of this is Oriel, unfortunately. And yes, there are some people in this world who have never heard me curse and thus believe I don't even know how.

You know you love Hammel too much when you start imagining irl people here as characters, and how they would interact with everyone else. For example, I always think of my coworker who is from the Netherlands and how he would interact with everyone. It's kind of funny.

Also, you start thinking about your characters and their ships. In dreams and in general. But that's a given.

I know I love Hammel too much when I look at the MASSIVE amount of pics of my face claims in folders on my computer and then I get upset because I suck at making graphics.
Seriously, if I had any ability I would never be able to write because I would just be making all of the THINGS all the time.
I have SO many pics of Jeff Davis I want to turn into Devon graphics, it's untrue.

I know I love Hammel too much when I consider using Hammel canon characters for the game Imaginiff. >.>

The game is played in rounds. Each round, one of the players is chosen as the "subject" of a question. The question has 6 multiple choice answers. The question is read aloud and players vote on the answer they think is correct. Points are awarded to the players that chose the most popular answer.

An example of a question:

Imaginiff <Odion> were a flying object. Which would he/she be?
1) Blimp
2) Biplane
3) Glider
4) Frisbee
5) Lear jet
6) Brick*
