The folks at Ron Paul Forums decided to come up with some handy guidelines in case you want to know if you qualify as a “Ron Paul Junkie”. Some of them hit close to home, I’ll admit… OK, most of them!

First, some easy ones:
“You stay up every night posting on forums until 4am.”
“You Google Ron Paul news everyday.”
“All conversations with your friends mention Ron Paul at some point.”
“You even tell your non-American friends about Ron Paul, and they get to liking him too.”
“Your wife bitches at you to come to bed saying ‘Ken, Ron Paul is even sleeping right now!’”
“You’ve memorized some YouTube speeches word for word.”
“You’re seriously considering a move to New Hampshire.”
“In a given day, 90% of the websites you visit have “ronpaul” in the domain”
“5 or more of those are your OWN domains”
“You and your spouse have an organized ‘Ron Paul time’ each night, in which you tell her everything that happened to RP that day.”
“You’re a member of 4 or more Ron Paul meet-ups.”
“You have a Ron Paul button pinned to your Ron Paul T-shirt.”

Now, let’s move onto the more hardcore measures of whether you are a full-on junkie:

“Home projects come to a near grinding halt.”
“You’ve campaigned enough for at least two people to ask if you are Ron Paul.”
“You find yourself pondering ways to make money so you could donate more to Ron Paul.”
“You tell friends there is no room in your car for them because you have a giant 4′ x 8′ sign that is taking up space.”
“While watching movies you correlate the message with Congressman Paul’s message.”
“You swear that cloud looks just like his profile.”
“You manage to steer a conversation with a repairman about a faulty light (made in China) to borrowing money from China to Ron Paul for President.”
“As a cancer survivor, you get a shirt printed that says… ‘I beat cancer to live. Now I want Ron Paul to be President so I can Live FREE!!!’”
“You spend your day off with your husband and don’t go to the beach but you sit and surf for Ron Paul on the internet while he reads Blowback.”
“You can’t focus on the paperwork for your taxes because you are surfing Ron Paul information and daydreaming about the end of the IRS.”
“You have a veritable campaign headquarters, replete with buttons, cards, and stickers, at your desk/cubicle at work [and at home]!”
“You attend a monthly Meetup in your area, and are considering signing up to a few in other cities and states just to get your fix (after all, once a month is not enough!)”
“You might be a Ron Paul junkie if you now look forward to telemarketer phonecalls…muhahahaha”
“You might be a Ron Paul junkie if you get excited when your girlfriend admits that Ron Paul ‘was hot when he was younger’.”
Editorial Note: Or– my version– you may just be a Ron Paul junkie girl if you find yourself thinking that Ron Paul was smoking hot when he was younger…
“You bought your dog a Ron Paul Revolution shirt too.”
“You even post Ron Paul 2008 advertisements inside your own house.”
“You only listen to Ron Paul songs, over and over.”
“I had a dream Ron Paul won and when I woke up I hit the snooze to try to recapture 5 more minutes of freedom!”
“… if your 6 year old daughter stole one of your ‘Who’s Ron Paul’ buttons, wears it to school every day, and tells EVERYONE at school that ‘Ron Paul has never voted to raise taxes’!”
“You buy a new purse because slim jims don’t fit in your old one.”
“Every song you listen to you envision a new Ron Paul Youtube video, and try to imagine all the video and pictures you could include in it.”
“When every set of poles you drive past you guesstimate if your RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT sign will fit.”
“When you haven’t gotten more than 3-4 hours of sleep a night.”
“When you eat with one hand while browsing the forums with the other.”
“When you’re always scheming on ways to interject into a conversation and lead it to discussing RON PAUL.”
“if your favorite night of TV is a presidential debate”
“when you read this entire thread and realizing that you are batting about 97% of I do that or I thought of that too.”
“if you spend hours reading about foreign and monetary policy”

My personal favorite:
“In the unlikely event that you find yourself disagreeing with one of Ron Paul’s positions, you come to the immediate conclusion that it’s your fault for not loving freedom enough.”

And finally…
“You have to buy 7 new keys for your keyboard. R,O,N,P,A,U and L.”
