You become addicted to the computer game Alchemy and are told by two different people that, as a Catholic, you shouldn't practice Alchemy.

Despite having a half day at work for Good Friday, you still have to leave an extra hour early so that you can make it to the 'best' Good Friday Mass in the DC area, which happens to be about 45 minutes away.
You are watching the Passion of the Christ and are distressed by the fact that Jesus falls six times because you and your father are trying to do the Stations in your heads.
The toes of your shoes are always dusty from kneeling during Mass.
You say, "Oh yea! That's just like something Jose Maria Escriva said," and your friend responds, "That's just what I was thinking!!"
Your most convincing argument to get somebody to do something is, "That could be a corporal act of mercy!"
You attend not one, but two Tridentine Rite Masses on Easter Sunday right in a row.
Your mother compares your church-going habits to the concert-going habits of groupies (AKA you will travel whatever distance it takes to find the 'best' Mass you can - Silver Spring, Baltimore, New Jersey...)
You consider showing up at the doors of "really awesome" priests with freshly baked pies.
