You know you're (811) raw when...

Okay I saw a thread like this over at rawfoodtalk and thought it would be fun to bring over here. I'll start

You know you're raw when

your oven was broken for possibly weeks but didnt realize it until your mother came to your visit
you have a giant cutting board over your stove because you never use the burners
you don't have to worry about look good in the morning
you can say your "s*** don't stink" and not be lying!
you can go straight from a workout to dinner and not worry about smelling bad
you don't have to read the newest fad health article about wine being good for your heart or the amazing antioxidants in the ookalakkombah berries of djibouti
you only go to one part of the supermarket and are out of there in minutes
your grocer thinks you own 3 monkeys, a cow and several other barnyard animals
you bite your tongue and just smile and nod during any health discussion with a SAD eater
you barely remember what it is like to scrub a dish and own 0 brillo pads.

let's see what you guys can come up with!

...when your car is always full of pineapples and mangoes and bunches of bananas.

...when your work office smells like...bananas, from those bananas stashed in your desk drawer...

...when your bedroom smells like sweet....bananas (and maybe some other fruit)

...when people tell you your head smells like fruit (I'm not kidding here, this actually happened, and this person did not know I am LFRV)

...when you're the only one at a raw vegan potluck not scarfing down nut pate' and blended sprouted bean soup

...when people ask you how you have so much energy all the time, including energy to exercise

...when people ask you what your "secret" is, yet scoff at your explanation, only to remain puzzled at how contradictory you are to their criticisms.

...when people treat you like a health guru while all you are doing is simply eating fruit. Um, easy?

- your sisters are scared to visit you because of the ripe fruit smell in your apartment

- you find yourself smiling and laughing out loud for no apparent reason when you're alone

Maybe not everyone here will relate to this one, but when you are standing in line to buy groceries and you see a display of celebrity gossip magazines and you don't recognize anyone on the covers since you either don't have a TV or you don't watch it much and it's like every time you see this display of magazines it's the same old stories but with new faces...
