    Whenever someone implies that something is my fault I say, "It's not my fault. It's not my fault." Just like Lando in ESB.

    When my class studied MacBeth I sat there thinking "You know, if only MacBeth had Yoda to tell him the Dark Side was not stronger, only quicker, easier, more seductive."

    Go a day without Yoda-speak, I cannot.

    I try to use the Force to grab tennis balls when I hit them out of the court.

    I pretend to use the Force when I walk through an automatic door... Then my sister hits me because she is an unbeliever.

    Hee hee. Lessee....... I have this awful, humiliating habit of mixing up lifesavers the candy with "lightsabers."
    After reading tons of Star Wars stuff I can totally imagine feeling the Force (of course having an audio visual physical imagination helps too.)
    Like to practice my Jedi mind trick. (flails hand around.) You don't need to see my homework.

    I always use quotes when giving people advice.

    I also tryed to do the Jedi Mink trick once on one of my friends. I waved my hand and said "You will give me money to buy food." He waved his hand and went "No I will not!"

    the weather always reminds me of the planets...
    heat for tatooine, cold for hoth, fog/outdoors after its stopped raining for dagobah

    now there's kamino for downpours;

    - wave your hand to open an automatic door if you havent tried it yet

    - flashlights are lightsabers

    - driving thru tunnels is hyperspace, using expressways with high walls is the bombing run from the first death star

    I can no longer walk through automatic doors without doing the force open thing.

    Any rod/meterstick/dowel becomes a lightsaber in my hand (complete with sound effects)

    Sometimes I will try to use force pull to get objects out of reach.

    And one that hasn't been mentioned yet:

    Whenever I walk down an aisle of people (like in a movie theater or between two lines of people), I start walking like Vader, hands behind the back and everything, while either mentally or physically humming Imperial March.

    Once, I was at school and I was walking around the classroom like Vader before class thinking. But I was humming the Imperial march. One of my friends comes in and goes.

    "Being Darth Vader today?" I just nodded and started to hum again.

    Oh and sometimes when my brother and I are raking I'll just go "pszewwww" and he'll do the same thing and before you know it we're battling it out with rakes in the front yard.

    Anothing is I actually do the "Force-opens-the-door" thing on elevators. Although it's risky because a person could be on the other side and then when the doors open they see you doing it, and it's happned to me before.

    This has got to be the best thread ever!

    Anyways, for what I can no longer do normally...

    Whenever I look outside and see ominous looking clouds approaching, I always start humming the Emperor's Theme.

    When I was out driving the other day and almost hit a squirrel, I said to myself "That was too close!"

    I always use SW lines in everyday life, especially when giving advice. (just too many examples to mention :) )

    Everything turns into a lightsaber or blaster in my hands, and yes, I definitely force push automatic doors.

    Whenever I am on the internet and a page is loading, I find myself using waving my hand around like I am "some kind of Jedi or something" to try and get the page loaded faster.

    There are so many other things I can't normally do now because of SW that I simply cannot think of now :(

    Oh! And talk like Yoda I do!








    Even when mean to I do not :( ... ;)

    I say 'all too easy' alot too. Also, one time we were doing projects in science, and one of my friends had this cool one. So what do I do? I lower my voice and go 'Impressive'. One of my guy friends next to me looked at me and goes, "Stop saying Star Wars lines!" LOL...

    I have a polished wooden floor in my lounge, and a stone one in my kitchen. Often, when I'm rushing between the two, I'll skid to an emergency halt much like Obi-Wan in the Theed hangar power reactor corridor thingy in TPM.

    Well I can't help but say "MOVE ALONG, MOVE ALONG" to my daughter when she straggling behind while shopping.

    I also Hand jesture to automatic doors, sometimes when approaching them I'm saying "Open the Blast doors, Open the Blast doors and I tend to stare out of windows for no apparent reason with my hands behind my back.

    I also yawn like Vader is breathing and often say to my wife when she's wrong "apology accepted captain Needa"

    I also try the Jedi mind trick on her which usually results in and I quote "You Idiot"

    I also can't watch the movies without adding sounds and the lines (I MUST STOP THIS)

    I can't go shopping without searching every toy section.
    Nor can I go to bed before 2am to post here or without visiting my usual SW sites.

    I also use the force to change traffic lights. And If my wife says or does something nasty to me something bad usually happens to her like she trips or something, my sister also thinks I am in league with the devil since she saw me walk up to a fire place my hand over it only to see the flames leap up not once but twice.( she was pretty spun out by it )


    But other then that I lead a perfectly normal life.
