http://diaryofawizard.com/ has a wonderful post from Postcards from the Spiral about the Top 10 Ways You Know You’ve Been Playing Wizard101 Too Much

Here's three - to read the rest, follow the link below.

10. You’ve convinced your child/parent/significant other to create their own account so that you can battle together.

9. You’ve purchased a new computer so that people in your house can play together or play online at the same time.

8. You’ve set up a wireless network, after procrastinating for at least five years, so that people in your house can play at the same time.

The only one I would add would be you see a stick on the ground and think -ooh! Mistwood!

Thank you both for the article and we encourage our players to list their own below!

You call in sick because you played soccer in the cold. When your (annoying) older sister walks into your room to make fun of you, you try to cast a ghoul to get better by stealing her own energy. After a few minutes you start wondering why didn't a ghoul pop out of nowhere from a tombstone with a magical shovel

I like the monk suit you wear in the game; so last Halloween I tried to make a monk suit by drawing strips on one of my sweatpants. Well that didn't work very well and I ended up with my sweatpants smudged and ruined :-( They were too big for me anyway :?
So I ended up wearing a zombie outfit and pretending I was a rotting fodder

Well, maybe I have been playing Wizard101 too much

But... it's a better thing more than a bad one, considering that the people who made this game are excellent developers, other games are so boring, they rise and fall in a few months.

There are so many pages of this, I'm afraid I haven't read them all, so forgive me if this has already been said, but for me...

When i leave the house to walk to the store, I think "I'm moving so slowly! I must have forgotten to equip my mount!" LOL. Doh! Real life strikes again. How I wish I really had wings...

one time, the internet was going slowly so i ran virus scans and they didnt find anything, so i got told to turn on and off the internet, and it worked, but since then, the computer was guarded by a security system and wouldnt let me play wizard101 and i got desperate since i couldnt find the off button. i then pressed the close window button and the game started working again. phew, what a relief

1.Whenever you are going to speak or write down a number, you catch yourself doing so in an ordinal fashion. (Forth, fifth, seventh tea, etc.)

*(Bonus if you actually did speak or write it.)*

2.Whenever you hear talk about "dumb blondes" or valley girls, the very first thing that pops immediatley into your mind is the sound the judgement spell makes.

3. You can't think of any more top ten indications because you've played too much Wizard101.

hahaha omg this is hysterical and i'm not even in school but it's great! I hate having drake as my teacher, he's so dang rude :(

I didnt read thru 17 pages of this but i'd add:

*you try to go to sleep after hours of questing, then suddenly think 'ooh i bet my energy refilled and I can finish gardening/pet training.

*you get super bummed when you decided to buy crowns during the $60 sale and you miss it :(

*you are irritated by the fact that when you log in, there are 6 desks and always 1 student standing, but you cant create the 7th student to have one in each school :( grrr

*you repurchase back your training points several times because you find a spell (sun/moon/star) that you want and you have a few spells that are worthless (first 2 polymorphs in CL base camp :( )

*you have 2 accounts and hooked up your computer to your giant tv for better viewing of split screens so you can play both (so your life student can keep your other ones alive while they lvl up lol)

*you have over a dozen tabs in your internet browser of pages from wizard101central.com of stuff you needed to know for battles or gardening drops and stuff like that (I currently have over a dozen tabs open and yelled at my 20 yr old son when he said 'your computer is too slow ima close out of these pages' um, no cuz I need them pages grrr lol

I know I had more ideas but they wont come to mind now :(
