You know you're a capoeirista when...

So, this is from a conversation I had with a friend a couple of weeks ago...I'd like to see what you all have to add to it.  Just complete the sentence, "You know you're a capoeirista if..."

-You have road rage fantasies that end with a well timed martelo or bensao...(no, really...)
-You not only sing capoeira songs, but you also practice your ginga...in the shower.
-You've ever thrown kicks over the chairs at your work.
-Someone asks you what you want for your birthday, and 4 of the 5 things that come to mind are capoeira related in some way.
-Every time you open your mouth to speak your friends ask "is this going to be another Capoeira thing?"
-Instead of taking notes in class, you are drawing little figures doing aus and meia lua de compassos
-You walk around bare-foot to "Toughen up your feet"
-You find yourself doing the ginga while playing with the neighbor's dog
-You start every sentence with "this one time... at capoeira..."
-Try to study and all i can think about is how i could've maneuvered better in the roda the night (or few hours) before......
-Your best friends start sounding like your girlfriend or boyfriend cause you don't spend much time with them anymore
-You desperately try to explain to your non-capoeira-playing friends that berimbau music is great
-YOU CAN'T STOP THE CAPOEIRA MUSIC IN YOUR HEAD!!!
-When you walk around in a weird limp from the skin that tore off your foot the night before, and you 're used to it...

I just want to see what you all have to add...
