You know you're obsessed with specktra when you daydream about being on when you're not. If you haven't gotten on in a day or two you feel lost.

I go to work and think about how I'm going to go home and snuggle up...with specktra!

LMAO i did the SAME thing to a MAC MA!

I disagree. I have at least 5 windows open and they are all specktra. And then my computer strts running slow. But I just can't help it!

[SingFrAbsoltion]

When you come home wasted and still have the energy to check Specktra!

[mrheine]

when the 30 seconds between searches are the longest of your life!

haha! soo true!

when you can't start the day without checking the "New Posts" to see if you missed anything while you were sleeping. lol. (don't know if someone mentioned this already)

[Xqueeze_me]

Bookmarked Specktra on the toolbar for quick access.

Always look at the greetings section (top right) to see if anyone sent a message(s).

You know more about the upcoming collections than the MAs themselves!

SO TRUE about saying MSFs to MA then have to explain "mineralized skinfinish"?!

Spend hours surfing Specktra until early next morning (more like 3am-5am) then you decide to go to sleep.. hehe

Sisters yelling for me to go eat dinner while typing this up or just reading the new posts on Specktra... Like what's happening right NOW! hahaha

So agreed! hahaha I see you're reading my reference to you now, so "HELLO!!!"

When you are taking pics of your makeup collection!!

When you don't do makeup (professionally) but ramble off various products to others, leaving them wondering, "What the hell?!?"

OMG! When you say/hear something informative in real life and wish you had a "Thanks" button.

HAHA the last one for me! I keep thinking, I wish you had a thanks button whenever someone tells me something useful or does something for me! Especially on other forums, I like to browse asianbeautyblog and I keep subconciously looking for a thanks button.

I've also done the very same but have to cut down now since I work more than 10hrs and mostly physical work so I need my sleep. *sighs*

[Trista]

I find myself up late at night browsing this site! And I find that many times if I want makeup advice I turn to Specktra instead of asking the MUAs I know.

That is so awesome! This happens a lot to me when a new product comes out that I read about on Specktra and I go ask the MUAs at MAC for it and they don't understand what I"m talking about. One of them even said to me that I know the names of the products more than she does. All this I learned at Specktra.

[Krasevayadancer]

When everyone you know (including your computer illiterate mother) knows you are always on specktra

When you type s into your url box and specktra automatically pops up.

When you consider a productive day to be spending the time to reorganize your train case.

When you dream of specktra and/or MAC

When you met your best friend on specktra

[slowhoney]

...you use make-up abbreviations in NON-MAKE-UP conversation.

I don't usually say these things verbally, but I do use them, accidentally, when talking online to non-make-up friends... such as CP, HG and LE. I'm not a big acronym user online at all, but I find myself using the ones I do use on Specktra (IMO, HTF, PLMK, HTH, etc.) slipping into my other online correspondence. :P

When you've read every post, revisted your favorite threads to see if there is anything new, and found nothing else new to read...you feel completely down and feel like there is nothing else left to do on the internet!

OMG YES! haha. All I ever do on the internet is go on Specktra or read beauty blogs and watch makeup tuts on youtube. lol.

i do this too lol

[kaneda]

great replies all!!!

Totally agree with so many of these, specifically, the having multiple screens open, using abbreviations for make up like MSF (like other people, I went to mac and said i want an msf and got a look - but i swear that I thought it was a common terminology!!! hehe).

Also when you name drop specktra in everyday conversation like "ah thats really pretty someone on specktra has something similar" or, "omg, someone on specktra went through the same issue!".

[ginger9]

I realize there are so many beautiful, intelligent, indepent, interesting and funny women on this forum - it makes it so hard to stay away from Spectkra!

sometimes I think about some of the members when I'm not logged onto Specktra...hehe sound a little creepy?!
