What's a characteristic that nearly all brickfilmers have in common? I thought this would be a fun idea for a topic, and might give us all a few laughs. 
Just state a characteristic of a brickfilmer. I'll start.
You know you're a brickfilmer when...
1. you get Kevin Macleod's music stuck in your head
2. you're the only 17 year old in the Lego store
3. you get pissed at people who overuse Star Wars and Batman themes instead of making something from scratch.
4. instead of checking your e-mail you go to bricksinmotion.com.
5.when you criticize your own films.
6.when you really blush when someone finds out you're a brickfilmer. 
7. You reminisce about "The Golden Age".
8. Your heart stops for a second when a girl asks you about your interests.
9. you realize your parents think you're kinda weird because you "play" with Lego.
10. When you check BiM before even thinking about checking Facebook.
11. When you are always in your room most of the time.
12. When you have to further explain your filming interests.
13. When you're startled awake in class by your teacher when you're trying to think of a plot fit for small plastic men. (whew)
14. When you are talking with friends and keep bringing up the subject of what to do for your next film.
16. When a conversation about movies turns into a conversation about how the movies were made.
17 You convince your friends that these lego movies are actually very cool.
18. When you look at new LEGO sets, and think. "Boy, would that look good in my next film..."
19. When you buy individual minifigs and lego blocks so you'll have just the prop and/or set you need.
20. When LEGO is on top of the with list for your birthday.
21. Your friends tell you "No, which real movie." After asking what your favorite movie was and your responding with the name of a brickfilm.
And...
22. When you're with your friends at the mall and ask to go the Lego store instead of the Nike outlet.

23. when you buy an expensive lego set, for only one piece that is simply perfect for your next film.
24. When you try five different webcams to see which one is best for brickfilming.
25. You spend 20 minitues in the LEGO isle with barcodes trying to get the LEGO collectable minifigure you need for your next film.
26. You feel like a boss when someone says, "Oh, I could NEVER do stop motion, it'd be too hard and time consuming!"
