You had an imaginary friend when you was a kid, still have him but he's dangerous and grotesque (AND YOU LOVE IT!)

your ideal partner is shehrazad.

-you wanna learn aramaic or any other ancient language

-weirdly enough you always met someone who...or you know someone who met a person who...

-fire, smoke, blood...turns you on....

-discovery channel's horror night are as important as monday night football!

-Discovery Channel's Civilizations is fixed at least on 8 channels...

I know guys...but I am trying! come on hit up!

Your I-Pod is full of Gregorian Chants, Enya, and Midnight Syndicate

you don't own one piece of clothing that isn't BLACK

Halloween is the ONLY time you fit in

people don't "get" you and you LIKE it that way

you watch Vampyre movies like others watch family movies

you see Blane and Angel as Posers

you see a funeral and think to yourself, "Man I really wanna Hearse of my very own"!

Chics without piercings and tattoos just don't do it for you anymore.

- You are a master alchemist, a guru in miracles, yet sometimes you cant afford a 5$ wooden box...

- Anna Rice's books are your bible

- you post in the Bizarre section on the Café and you get a certain "someone" to bash your post and try to put you down! (evil grin)

- people are afraid to stay in the dark with you...

On a dare, you step on hallowed ground. Smoke curls from your feet and you get blisters...

You think that Van Helsing made a good start, but that he has a lot to learn...

You picked up a Hippity Hop Rabbits prop for $20 at a club magic swap, and used $50 worth of epoxy putty to turn it into Hippity Hop Cthulhu so that you could do kid's parties...

Yours,

... your reaction to events and items in stories is "that might work well for a an upcomming show".

. . . your imaginary friend's name is Captain Howdy.

. . . you look to the suicide scenes in Harold and Maude for inspiration.

You walk into someone's house and their dog doesn't bark at you, but its hair stands on end. It doesn't *dare* growl.

While watching *The Exorcist,* people stared at you because you were giggling.

While having dinner at a local restaurant the "house magician" strolls over to show you his ambitious card routine. As the queen of hearts appears on the top of the deck for the fifth time.......... your eyes begin to bleed!

Do these qualify?

Your house has more iron and pointy things on the walls than the tower of london collection...

There are almost as many dusty odd boxes on the shelves as books...

You have to disconnect the smoke alarm in the practice parlor due to the SFX...

There are no white light bulbs in your "open areas" of the house...

You keep looking at the photos of electric chairs, and thinking, they do not look "that" hard to build!...

Your doorknocker is a skeletal hand holding a bronze skull...

Righty-ho. Using this thread as our inspiring event, you ask four or five members of your audience to complete on separate cards the phrase:

'You know you're creative when...'

then you perform a 'Sneak Thief' routine with their phrases, matching comments to personalities etc.

Obviously, you could have fun altering the adjective to the group/event (weird/handsome/a vampire/middle-aged/a danger to yourself and to others, and so on). Also, I suspect some adjectives would prompt fairly common answers e.g. 'You know you're psychic when... the phone rings just when you were thinking of the caller'. By being prepared with m******* outs, you could get the occasional miraculous hit.

Huh ? Isn't everyone like this ?
What's so weird about any of this.. I don't get it ...

Oh, this looks fun.. let's see ...

* You own more Tarot card decks than regular playing card decks.
* You're writing out the patter for your latest routine and it takes two whole notebooks to get it all down ..
* Your house burns down and all you can think of is, "Oh cool, now my props look even better !"
* As a young child, you always stuck needles in your G.I. Joe, instead of playing "war" with it.
* You're playing poker with your buddies; when it's your turn to deal, the deck cuts itself.
* Just to be in good company, you legally change your first name to "Tony".
* You go to blow your nose and wind up in the emergency room to have the glorpy gimmick surgically removed from your sinuses.
* You can tell whether someone is A, B, AB, 0, negative or positive, just by the smell of their blood .. oh wait, maybe that's just me..

My humble contribution:-

When you were at school and the woodwork teacher said "make anything you want", you made a bed of nails.

Similarly in Metalwork you made thumbscrews.

You have a laboratory in your house.

and a cemetary in your garden.

Your car looks like Cruella Deville's

You drink wine out of a silver chalice whilst sitting on a throne.

Instead of a china cabinet you have a skull cabinet.

You have a dog called Jarmara and a cat called Pyewacket.

You prefer ruins and derelict buildings to complete ones.

You bought you partner a dolls house, but it is a haunted castle.

Not content with a priesthole or two you built some more secret passages/doorways into your house.

You live on the site of a pagan cemetary.

And find buried treasure there.

You move to a house built in 1680 because you want something modern this time round.

Locals won't go near your house after dark.

You laugh at all the "wrong" moments during a scary film.

You seal any letters that you write with sealing wax.

The oddest things happen ALL THE TIME.

Your favourite dinner guests (real or fictitous) would be the Addams Family.

oops, time for dinner.

Hahahaha!! these are great!!! good therapy hey fellas?LOL

...every prop you own "once belonged to" a dead person...

...when playing the lotto you keep waiting for 666 to come out...

...you are the only person in the state with those kind of coins...

...you equivoque with bones and rodent parts...

...you can reach out and touch a Tarot deck right now...

...you got this special cloth that you cover things up with when those "paticular" guests come over...you know, probation officer, religious fanatical Uncles, child protective services...

...unlike magicans who take the Death card out of their deck, you buy multiples...

As a matter of fact, I DO have a cat named "Pyewacket" (actually, "Isobell Pyewacket,") but my dog is named "Tootsie," (ok, ok, she was named by my 4 year old granddaughter).

Years ago I lived in Honduras, and my house was built right on top of a Mayan cemetary; I did find treasure -- if you consider Mayan artifacts as treasure.

... You know where to obtain live maggots and calf eyes

... Your own children think you might be a werewolf

... You collect things that most people are afraid to touch

... Your search words on Ebay include skull, bone, werewolf, and vampire

... You find yourself walking through Home Depot and see that they mixed up
to much black paint, so you buy all six gallons. Can never have too much...

... When shopping you mutter "I wish they had an old one, but I suppose I can
bury this one in the yard for a while..."

... When the house magician stops by to show you a card trick and after you borrow
his cards he turns pale and walks out of the establishment.

... When your 11 year old son starts conversations with "you know what would be
really scary..."

... Your audience bursts into applause and you are disappointed.

Keep ‘em Screaming

Just once , you wish you'd open up a fortune cookie that said something cool, like, " You will die by year's end ", "You are cursed with back luck", "Begin choking on this cookie ... now !", or " May all your enemies meet a slow, horrible, painful death".
(but nooo, they're always that corny, happy-go-lucky crap)

(yes, I know you can buy/make your own, but those you'd spring on other people)

A few more:-

The local butcher gives you strange looks ever since you asked him for eyeballs and pigs bladders (read Tony Shiels).

Your lucky number is 13.

There is always an empty place at the table.

Instead of oiling a creaky gate, you wonder how to dry out the hinges on the others.

You can't abide card tricks and even worse the "here I have three pieces of rope" ones.

Whilst not admitting to owning sponge balls, they would be black if you did.

You KNOW that performing the guillotine for children is what they really want to see. (not as scary as clowns)

You carry your props in an old Doctor's bag.

To you, signing a form is meaningless, unless it is in blood.

The candles on the table are black.

There is a skeleton in the pond.

and a mummified cat under the doorstep.

Your wand is made from Rowan.

If you must do a card trick, it is one that leaves them speechless and unable to sleep.

worst wishes,
Francis

...and you make reference to the fact that "He was the 13th, including his disciples..."
