Haha!!! That's me too!!!

Girlfriend text me last night saying I can see Jupiter so I sent her a huge text about Taurus, and that Orion was just popping up and if she looked she could spot Bellatrix and betlegues.

The reply that came back was 'ok lol '

When you have a dream about astronomy...no joke. I had a dream about the Pleiades and what constellation it's part of. Could be Taurus, Perseus, maybe Aries, or it's own.

When you're among the hundreds of people that shout "Whoa, hey, hey, hey, turn that off!!" at a star party when someone breaks out their cell phone.

When you here the words "Big Mak" and no longer think of burgers.

as in "For imaging planets, I want a Big Mak"

You tell people at work that you're going to a star party at the weekend and a colleague asks you to get George Clooney's autograph for her. :BangHead:
