    Default You know you are a speedcuber when...

    How to know if you have been cubing too much?
    When you want to turn your ginger cat over to one side, expecting a green centerpiece.

    Yes that did happen a week or so ago

    Also.. just today: you know you are a speedcuber when you have a jar of body cream open, and you close it using that double finger layer turning trick hahahah.


    Anyone else have things they do that are non cubing, but still have the cubing mantra going on at the time?

    You know you are a speedcuber when you repetitively solve your rubiks cube whilst timing.

    You know you're a speedcuber when you need a cube within 10 feet of you, or else you start to have your fingers fidget.

    you know you're a speedcuber when you practice OH at work while cooking, and you drop your Zhanchi in a deep fat fryer.

    Is it a J-perm? Are we on PLL?

    You know you are a speedcuber when you want to know how you know you are a speedcuber.

    ... there is no longer such a thing as waiting in line feeling bored.
    ... you cube first thing in the morning and last thing before lights out. And then...
    ... you practice your PLLs after you turn the lights off.
    ... you practice OH while brushing your teeth.
    ... the phone is ringing and you have to finish the current solve before answering. Sometimes the answering machine comes on. Sometimes the phone stops ringing.
    ... you cube in the delivery room while going through labour. (Well, that was me and I'd like to know if anyone else has done this.)

    Sorry that none of these are non-cubing things as mentioned in the first post, but...
    You know you are a speedcuber when there are not many non-cubing moments.
    Violinist. Engineer. Mother of 3 (+2) kids. I probably have UWR for cubing during labour.
    PB 1/5/12: 3x3=10.05/13.79/14.42 | OH=17.61/22.30/23.07 | Pyraminx=2.14/4.88/5.46
