YOU KNOW YOU ARE A ROWER WHEN.....-
*you don't mind walking in frozen bird shit barefoot
*everything you do is "in 2..."
*you need to have a small pushy person around telling you what to do all the time
*you can get up, get dressed and get out of the dorm before your eyes are fully open
*the phrase "cox box" doesn't make you giggle
*you believe the world wouldn't exist without spandex
*you only recognize your friends from behind
*when you need to go anywhere, you have a sudden urge to throw your car over your shoulder
*before you go anywhere, you are at Main 20 minutes early
*you stick water bottles in your shorts for no reason at all
*you feel naked without clothing enough for 10 people on
*you believe all authority figures carry a megaphone
*you sit in class leaning to your rigger
*half your body is bigger than the other
*you blame bad moods on "the set"
*when your play softball at your company picnic you are psyched to get old people on your team for the age handicap
*your friends need a rowing translator to decipher your language
*you can wear the same thing every morning for a week and not think twice
*you think sleeping late is waking up at 8:30.
*everything's a race: you walk quickly to class, just so you can pass people -when someone mentions being awake, you turn parallel and set up for it.
*when you sit down in class, you look for the tie-in shoes.
*you constantly check the tightness of nuts in handrails, chairs, door handles, etc.
*you think gloves are for sissies, but a nice pair of poogies is really stylin'
*you bring up the beauty of the dawn, and people give you blank stares
*overhearing people talk about how little sleep they got causes you to smirk, and maybe get medieval on their ass
*your vision of going away for the weekend is other people's vision of Hell
*You admire the man who wears boxers under his spandex much more than a woman wearing a g-string under hers
*You watch videos together, and it's ok to say "She's looking really long."
*you know more than 4 brands of porta-johns by name.
*...you're giving directions to a friend and you wonder why she's looking at you funny, until you realize you just said "turn to port" instead of "take a left."
*...you dress and undress one-handed so you don't have to take your hand off the oar.
*...every time you sit in a chair you are mildly surprised to discover that it doesn't slide back and forth.
