Confessions of a WoW addict

[LochnarITB]

It is no secret that I am hopelessly addicted to WoW, even with the warts and frustrations found on close examination. I find myself relating the real world to things I do in the game, both in my daily routine and nightly dreams. I'll out myself a little further with a couple examples and then pose my question.

First, I was listening to the radio today when a commercial came on. The premise was a call-in help desk at a local yard equipment seller.

Caller: "My neighbors lawn ornaments are creeping over into my yard."
Helpdesk: "Ah yes, gnome encroachment. You need our 5 horsepower 16 blade wood chipper."
Caller: "Yes, thank you. There's gnome sawdust everywhere."

My immediate thought? "Gnome persecution! Gnomes of Azeroth unite!"

Second, I often get together with family for cards and chat. Little sisters are little sisters no matter what the age and can still do and say those things that make a big brother cringe. I have been known to mimic my mage's little move for forming and throwing his frostbolt. She knows what I am doing and I get the eye roll that says better than words, "You're pathetic." :blush:

Now, my question. Does anyone else have any examples of how WoW spills over into their interaction with and observance of RealLife™ or am I destined to be King of Pathetic Hill?
