So I guess this is one of those times when I had an epiphany that I was a roleplayer at heart and wanted to know when if ever that happened to you. I have always enjoyed roleplaying but in the past year or so I've [really] become much more involved with it.
Okay, so Enoch26sf's thread made me think of starting this thread. Let's create a top 100 list of those things / moments that make you have an epiphany that you are a roleplayer.

Think PC first means Player Character instead of personal computer or politically correct.

Associate RPG with role playing game instead of the commonly used modern weapon.

Like to plot out the alignments of historical figures, or others
(My philosophy friends and I who played D&D liked to do this with philosophies and philosophical outlooks. Like, Utilitarianism = NG; Thomas Hobbes = LN; Marquis de Sade = CN; etc... We also tried to do religions, but I won't give any examples of those.)

If laughing is an involuntary reaction whenever someone declares, "I attack the darkness!"

If you never leave home without a 10 ft pole.

If you blame something on a low ability score or a poor roll in casual conversation.
Examples: "I tried to put my best foot forward, but you can only do so much with charisma 8." "I think i just failed a bluff check."
(And yes, I and some of my friends have done this, sometimes w/o even realizing it around people who don't get the reference)
