You see them showing a rerun of BN on a cable channel you don't get and think to yourself, OMG I've got to order that channel.

Hey guys just discovered this thread really cracked me up. Lol smile.gif

YKYAAW
You have season one of burn notice uploaded to your iPod which goes everywhere with you, ergo Michael Westen comes everywhere with you.

You have the BN message board and BN home page saved in your tabbed browsing so it comes up every time you start your computer.

You have NatashaFatale's wallpapers on your laptop and your BlackBerry.

you wake up and for some reason you're thinking it's Thursday so you're totally excited, then when you realize it's Wednesday not so much.

When ur walking in a mall, u suspect every1 with aviator sunnies on is a spy and u decide to test them by punching them in the face and seeing if they block it and break ur arm but when u discover they arent a spy u have to run coz u just punched a random in the face tongue.gif

You wake up realize its Thursday and that you'd better log on to the board this morning and stay that way, just in case there are "issues" with it tonight. (I have a feeling I'm going to want to discuss this episode wink.gif )

It's lunchtime on Thursday and you're a little disappointed there isn't a "Hello from The Writers" thread for the new epi yet.

there's nothing on the television that can make the next 45 minutes fly by fast enough. Y is 10:00pm taking so LONG????

You know you are addicted when... you check the message board before you go to work, then when you get off work, rush home to check message board again to see if you miss any thing.Again before you go to bed. Do erands on Monday thru Wednesday, because Thursday is your day to watch Burn Notice marthon, even if you already seen them. While getting ready in the mornings turn it on the weather channel, to see clips of Burn Notice.

Your alarm is already set for 4:50 AM (central time) in order to catch the "real start time" for the BN "mini" marathon tomorrow. (It is not all day long -- sad.gif )

you can't sleep post the finale because you keep thinking about it and what you saw, then you wake up at an obscenely early hour but you're OK with it because that means you can start uploading the finale on iTunes to watch again!

I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one wink.gif , I couldn't believe my mind wouldn't shut down and stop thinking about last night's epi so I could get a few hours sleep.

OK I think we have a new disease, "Burn Notice" sleep deprivation syndrome, only effects people for 16 weeks of the year.

FiRocks.. OHHH so that's what I''m experiencing. Thanks for putting a name to my symptoms. I got barely any sleep last night AND I got up early to come on here and listen to Matt's commentary and check out the boards BEFORE going to work. The Burn Notice addition is going strong and apparently I'm going to be striken with this for a number of years to come.
krocla
I didn't get much sleep either -- only about three hours. I had to stay up and watch the encore presentation last night. Then I tried to sleep but, I too, couldn't get my mind to shut down and stop thinking about it. I came on board this morning to read a little and I watched the epi (again) online. I will need to check myself in for treatment. Where is the admissions desk?

You live to get to work the next morning to see what all the other "Burnies" thought about last night's episode.

Your first thought of the morning is "Is it June yet??!"

Yup, me, too...every thursday night... I know I should go to bed, but I just *have* to stay up and watch the 1am airing of BN. Then can't stop thinking about it. Three hours of sleep is *not* enough--it took me about twice as long to get my work done today, ugh (probably didn't help that i checked in with the BN forum a couple times during the day). ;) When you find that admissions desk, let me know okay? --m

Will do! But if you find it first mrohr, please let me know. (BTW - slept better last night, but tonight the clock changes...... blink.gif )

Mindlessly grocery shopping...brain-dead from missing sleep to catch the 1am showing of the season finale...and inspect the 'use-by' date on the yogurt in hopes that it says 'JUNE'...

I have this too Burn Notice" sleep deprivation syndrome. After watching the finale Thursday all I keep thinking about was, if Mike was going to make it back to land, after all that swiming, and sharks out there. What about his Mom. Every thing going in circles. blink.gif

You know you are addicted when...

you're driving home from work this afternoon and there's a car that's driving in the opposite direction that is a dead ringer for the car Michael hijacks in the pilot episode -





- and you exclaim to yourself, "hey! It's Shawn's car!" Even worse, you nearly drive off the road looking at it in your rearview mirror. laugh.gif

[yes, I'm such an addict that I even remember the name of the guy who was driving this car. LOL!!]

Just to keep in the car theme of the day...


You're walking through a parking deck, you see a yellow Corvette and get the stupidest grin on your face.

I am there with ya...I love Corvettes to begin with, but now when I see the bright yellow c6 I get a wicked smile and look for exploding parked cars behind it!!

My dad owns a Competition Yellow 1992 ZR-1 and is quite obsessed. DH and I both exclaimed, "Maybe Dad will watch the show now!" when we saw him drive out of the parking garage in it. laugh.gif

Yeah, I used the commercial for the season 2 finale with the glimpse of the yellow Corvette in it to advertise to a few Vette buddies of mine...haven't heard from them yet if they watched or not, but it was just another way of spreadin' the BN love.

You know you're addicted when you find all other shows on TV bore you. There's no tactical awareness, no clever banter between the actors, no sparks, nothing of interest.
I would rather watch BN reruns and all Jeffrey Donovan related performances than regular TV. "Oh well......turn on the DVD player for me, please. There's nothing on TV again tonight." (heavy sigh of disappointment.)

I so can identify. That's why I have season 1 on DVD and tivoed version of both seasons on 3 of the two TVs I have. I'm debating removing season 1 since it takes up a lot of disk space, at over 50% full.
