Re: You know you're a capoeirista when...

-when you should be finishing work for a final that is due NOW, but instead you're writing this list...
-when you actually KNOW of a site with a list full of these things
-everytime you fall you right yourself into a negtiva and role up off the ground
-people look at you strangely for playing the air berimbau
-you watch martial arts movie and begin saying things like, "that was a great armada...i mean, spin kick the jet li just did."
-you chew gum to the beat of the berimbau
-whenever you drop something and bend over to pick it up you have to finish the role
- Any time your friends see someone do a flip or breakdance they say "hey thats capoeira!" and you go off explaining to them how different capoeira is from breakdancing or gymnastics.
-When you can't give someone a hug without guarding for a banda or cabecada
-You decide that au au batido is the proper response to a handshake
-Any time you encounter a reflective surface, you start doing moves to check your technique
-You constantly check to see if the white pants a random person on the street is wearing are capoeira pants.
-The weather gets warm and the first thing that goes through your head is "beautiful day for an outdoor roda!
-When your dad screams at you at 4am in the morning: "What the hell are you doing playing capoeira at this hour?"

there!
