    -when you catch yourself driving around checking up on your shit, even on your tags.
    -when drive around and cant keep from looking under bridges and up high at every building looking for bombs.
    -when you notice when bombs go up right away cuz youre constantly looking out
    -when you've had a lot of paint accidents
    -when you stand in front of a piece and critique it likes its hung up at a meuseum or something

    -When youre a grown ass man wondering if all the paint youve breathed in over the years is gonna make you piss the bed when youre old.(I read the fumes do that when you dont wear a mask)

    when you post in a thread like this:p
    you find your head looking everywhere for a "good" spot as you walk
    you pretend to write something random all the time
    you cant sit in a desk without writing (I cant do that.. but I always use pencil so I can erase)
    you stay up just thinking how much you want to get up
    you have this weird itch to write all the time
    you have a stack of paper with just your tags
    and so on..

    Sitting in the lecture hall during class and drawing all over the table and not listening to even a word of the lecture.

    Do this repeatedly sitting at different spots every class.

    Have the security heighten up because now there's anti-graffiti stickers all over campus.

    That's when.

    And you still don't give a shit.

    alright, well idk if this is considered "obsession" but on some days(especailly summer) some of this is more of a daily ritual for me haha
    starting off:
    -you spend a good hour and a half on ebay looking for cheap markers, paint, ect.(amazing stuff on there)
    -you have frequent re-occuring dreams about becoming a moderator on bs
    -you find some of your best sketches come out when you draw them naked
    -you know exactly when the price of paint at the store has gone up or down, what they are carrying now days and whats good and what isnt
    -you have done at least 3 research papers on different aspects of street art
    -you have read the a2planet graffiti guide in its entirety
    -you have to watch to keep from bumping your steel hard on against you wet paint while nearing a finished piece
    -you've filled pages and pages of you class notebooks with various drawings
    ^many of those pages are filled from top to bottom
    -you find yourself making "fatasy shopping carts" of everything you wish you could by from your favorite online graffiti supply store, with everything exact down to the last detail
    -when someone even mentions that they write you automatically start bombarding them with questions to see if its someone you've been looking for
    -a tear comes to your eye everytime you drive/walk by a piece or poster that you or a friend has done on the streets

    man i think im out:(
    more to come if i think of any more
    if any of these sound familair speak up lol

    -when you go to do your homework and it takes an extra 15 minutes cuz you can't find clean paper...
    -when you can't help but coming onto a graff forum every time you touch a computer
    -when you start taking actual art classes for pointers and new techniques
    -when you accidentally write your tag instead of your signature on a job application... and its in pen so you gotta either find some white-out or re-do it... but then eventually say fuck it what the fuck are they gonna do about it
