You know you're living in 2005 when...

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3. Only four numbers.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses. No, but I've had people imply email is easier than the phone. And sadly enough, I think they have a point.

6. You go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner.

7. You make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial "9" to get an outside line.

8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies. No, but I think a friend of mine might.

10. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news.

11. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.

12. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.

13. Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the screen.

14. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it. No, but my Mom's like that - or she curses, at least.

15. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee. Definitely.

16. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. Sometimes.

17. You're reading this and nodding and laughing. Sure was!

18. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message. Well, my flist, and I'll probably link this to some people.

19. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list. *Nods*

20. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list. *Nods again*

My additions:

21. U can r33d th1s w/o n e troublez, -n- w/o getting a headache. (This one does not apply to me, but it seems to apply to a great portion of the text message/IM world).

22. Actually getting phone calls on your home phone, as opposed to a cell, is so 1998.

23. Your cell is your home phone.

24. You haven't used a VCR in years; in fact, you even got movies you already had on VHS on DVD.

25. You did a college paper on some form of internet pop culture. (I am very guilty of this - I did an essay on fanfic).

26. You have more friends online than IRL. (Again, very guilty).

27. When your friend annoys you, you (jokingly) threaten to sue.

28. You've ordered movie tickets online. (Yup).

29. You are currently RPing and reading this list / adding onto it at the same time. (Which I am).

30. You laugh when you hear people still play computer Solitaire. Haven't they heard of Sims 2 and Amusement Park Tycoon?
