You know you're addicted to AIO when...

This is similar to the tread about ToO but not the same.

-When you you say every line along with the player/radio/computer.

-When your need to listen to new eps exceeds your need to eat or sleep

-When the default possion of all your tape players is playing AIO

-When whenever your mom wants to bribe you she thretens never to let you listen again.

when you figure out how much money you made at work by how many AIO albums you could by

When you measure how long your car ride is going to take by how many AIO episodes you can listen to on the way

when you manage to bring about every convo back to AIO, and you use the stories as illustrations when your talking to your family

I do both of these. The first is one of the reasons it's so annoying that they are not a full 30 minutes long. As for the second, it's so refreshing when I illustrate a point using AIO and one of my friends understand. I have some friends who don't listen *gasp* and they just look at me like "uh, huh, whatever"

-When you parents think that's all you do online.

-When all you want for your birthday and Christmas is AIO albums.
-When in just about every conversation or situation you find yourself comparing it to an AIO ep.
-When you wished you lived there and knew the people there.
