...you're drawing something with a pencil and you mess up so you instinctively reach for the Ctrl-Z keys on your sketchbook which definately dont' exist and instead end up knocking your eraser off of the desk, causing you to lean over to pick it up, knocking over your yet undrunk Wild Cherry Pepsi over on the desk and onto your dozen or so sketches of RPG characters and yelling "DAMN YOU, KHAN", causing everyone in the library to look up at you.

Then you get kicked out because you're not supposed to have drinks in the computer lab.

...if your only experience in hunting is from playing Oregon Trail. (Hunter can only carry 200 lbs my ASS!)

...and your only experience fishing is from 'Amazon River'. (Gorram electric eels!)

edit:

...you use the word 'gorram' in everyday speech. (even if you've never actually seen Firefly)

No... my fishing experience is from Animal Crossing. So there.

edit: Oh, and Ocarina of Time. The fishing pond by Lake Hylia. I'm told if you caught the biggest fish there you got a Piece of Heart, but I never managed it...

Ocarina of Time is my only fishing experience, and I did get the heart piece. :# The bloody fish is practically right in the middle of the lake.

You internally debate what stats a movie or book character should have in your favorite RPG.

You argue with friends about what stats said fictional character should have.

...If you've got more dice than games.
...if you learned to touch type by playing Zork or Adventure, before bbs's became "cool". (This gets extra points, cause now you're an old fart nerd. Like me.)
...if you've spent more money on garb for the renn faire then you have for any dress up outfit.

You've ever spent an afternoon arguing about how SCA is more accurate than RennFaire.
You can write in Tengwar as fast as in normal English script.
You name things in Elvish.  (Double points if you don't have to look any of the words up.  Triple if you can conjugate it properly.  Quadruple if you don't have to look the conjugation rules up.)
You consider a trip to Powell's with your SO to be a romantic date.
You've ever actually said "I wins teh internets!" out loud in celebration.
You date your journal entries in the Shire calendar.
You swear regularly in Chinese.
You've replaced any statements of denial with "DO NOT WAAAAAAAANT."
