You Know You've Been Watching
Too Much Tomorrow People When . . .

You wake up with a migraine and think This could be IT

You mistake camera flashes for teleporting teenagers.

The first thing you think of when you find yourself alone in a public place is that this would be a good place to teleport from.

You own a set of Zener cards and test yourself every day.

Every once in a while you try to move something psychokinetically.

Once in a while you try to talk to someone telepathically.

Your message board usually says one of two things: that you've jaunted to the lab or that you've teleported to the spaceship.

You continually joke with your roommate about being mother-henned telepathically by one TP or another.

You suddenly realise that feeling of the creeps you got about something was accurate and decide you're on the verge of breaking out.

You make a logical guess about who's on the other end of the phone, happen to be right, and decide that you're on the verge of breaking out (especially when you figured that person would be calling about that time).

You say things like this on TPDIS: For some reason you all have been ignoring my telepathic summonses. I was going to jaunt over to see a few of you, after I got back from Australia...

You try to get to the TV remote that is inconveniently across the room by holding out a finger and willing it to come to you

You try to will your boss to trip when she gives you another pile of work to do

You wake up and find it *strange* that you are home safe, and not in a hospital after having been knocked out by a covert government agency

You see the bum on the corner talking to himself and think "He could have been one of us if he had followed it through"

You think Star Trek transporters are for wimps.

Your husband wants to know if the Tomorrow People are somehow descended from the Champions or if those people in Tibet were doing a bit more genetic manipulation than they let on to.

You consider jaunting to the grocery store to avoid the rain. (We are having a storm today.)

You make a conscious effort not to think of the numbers when keying in PIN numbers in case the person next to you is telepathic

You try desperately to get your bowling ball right between the 1st and 2nd pin with telekenesis, thus causing a strike.

You try desperately to get a nemesis' bowling ball in the gutter with telekenesis, thus causing an embarrasing nothing.

You skip over the sexy bits in the latest novel you are reading on lunch break, for fear that someone passing by might read your mind at that moment.

You have naughty thoughts about the butt of the guy passing by in the mall, he turns, smiles and you turn away...because you are positive he knew what you were thinking.

You can't remember what you had in your notes about a question on the final and consider a mind merge to remember- then figure it's probably cheating.

You consider jaunting into the dining hall so you can sneak in and don't have to wait in line!

You wish you had TK to unlock the other doors so once you finish, you don't have to fight the crowd to get out again.

You really wish you could jaunt/teleport home for break because there are winter storm watches on both ends.

You wish you could do a mind merge during a final so you could remember what the diagram for the question reminds you of from class.

You talk about using TK on invisible bouncing balls (an oddity of my roommate -- don't ask.)

You're watching something else and you want to tell the main charcters to teleport out of there.

You imagine you can find pyrotechinics to ignite with your mind while watching a play.

You start having weird dreams involoving TP's and motorcycles (or is that: You Know You've Been Reading Too Much TP Fanfic - notably Highlander crossovers).

You start to subconsciously work on speaking with a British accent..

Every headache makes you think you're beginning to break out...

You spend spare minutes trying to either talk telepathically or to teleport to someplace else.

Someone on the promo for a bad UPN sit com says something about (either killing or cheating) "poor saps" and you look at your roommate and you both giggle.

You start trying to come up with really dumb merchansing for TP.

You almost have a heart attack when you collect your e-mail and find one from "R Price"

Your creative writing journal assignment is "You have one superpower." Guess what the first thing that comes to mind is?

You have to get recruits for a non-malicious e-mail prank on your cousin, you immediately think of bugging TPDIS about it.

You get excited when your Astrophysics professor describes tunneling, the process by which atoms move from one place to another without traveling the distance in between

You try to score your favorite prof a point in tennis using telekinesis.

You keep sending telepathic messages to your partner in a dominoes* game so that he/she will play the move you need (*for those who don't know, dominoes are played with 4 people divided into two teams, with partners playing across the table).

While playing cards, chess or dominoes, you try to blank your mind so that your opponents will not read your mind and know what you have or plan to do.

You get all excited feeling you are on the verge of breaking out after your boyfriend phoned you up and you picked the phone before it rang, or after you willed him to call and he did so.

You feel you've found an explanation for telepathy and telekinesis when you hear about the Unified Field Theory, or the theory that the entire universe is one huge field of consciousness, both of which imply that everything is connected.

You get really excited when you discover your (conservative) PhD supervisor has been collecting evidence on Morphic Resonance, which refers to the phenomenon when, after a certain percentage of a population develops a new knowledge, the same knowledge spontaneously appears in other isolated populations.

You can feel what day that important letter is comming and even know the contents beforehand.

You and your best friend repeatedly complete each others sentences, or start to say the same thing at the same time on a regular basis.

You have to sign up for buses for the senior cruise that you're only going on because your friend is and she doesn't want to be alone. It gets so involved that you feel like shrieking, "Why can't we just teleport?"

You've finally chosen a college, and they're giving you so much in scholarships that you feel justified in asking your father for a car. His response: "Why, when you can just teleport home every week?"

During L.A. you don't see someone enter the room, and when they leave, you assume that they jaunted in.

You stay up late and then have a dream about an animated Tomorrow People show coming on Nickelodeon.

You fall half-asleep in the middle of the weirdest post-prom party ever (drama people) and start hallucinating that your date just teleported in and out several times!

You're at prom and you start daydreaming that you're with KS instead.

While sleeping, you roll over and see that your spouse (significant other) is gone and when you roll over again she is back and you swear she must have jaunted in because you didn't see her come back to bed!

You have dreams about advil bottles in hyper space, and a few days later notice that the advil bottle you keep by your bed is gone. The first thing that comes to your mind isn't concerning its whereabouts, but is more like "Oh darn. I screwed up again. I jaunted the darn advil bottle instead of myself. Can I ever do anything right?"

Your mother sits you down and says (seriously, not joking) "Can I ask you a question? Tell me the truth, okay? Are you a Tomorrow Person?"

You're writing a fanfic using a lot of your friends, and when you're out with them you watch them intently and think, "Should I make him/her break out?"

You lock yourself out of your house when your mother is out of town, get a ride to her boyfriend's work, wait there for ten minutes, have him drive you home, and all the while, have a continuing mantra in your head: "I wish I could teleport, I wish I could teleport, I wish I could teleport...."

You're looking at various collections at the record store and notice one calleed "Telepathy" and you grab it (I didn't buy it though, it was by a bunch of DJ people-- I should've listened, really, as I was at a place where they'll let you do that).

You're sick at home and instead of getting up to get something to drink, you ask your computer for it.

Your brother won't drive you to the mall, so you think, "Oh, well, I'll just jaunt over!"

You refuse to take aspirin for a headache because it might mess up your "breaking out".

You can never look at England the same.

If you're an American you thank God that our scientists like rats better than teleporters.

You hear your friend say, "I've got a headache. I'm going to take some Advil." And you scream, "NO! You'll never break out if you take it."

You've tried to send a telepathic message for help when you can't figure out what in God's name the Magna Carta is.

You wonder if anybody from Canada will break out.

You see the word 'tomorrow' on a billboard or sign somewhere and get very disappointed when you realize that it has no relevancy to the Tomorrow People.

You hear something coming fom nowhere and you think, "This is it. Talk to me TP!"

You tell your History teacher you can't study Egypt because of "personal trauma" caused by the subject.

If you've ever had a weird dream and thought, "They're in trouble, again."

You go to malls to "Tomorrow-Spot."

You see 'merge ahead' on a road sign and your first thought has nothing to do with traffic or cars.

If you've ever tried to will your crush into going out with you.

If you've ever tried to will your mom into letting you do something and she says, "Don't push your luck."

If when your mom says that you think, "I think John missed one."

Your little sister annoys you and you don't slap her like you usually do stating, "I'm a pacifist now. I can't do that."

You get grounded and mumble under your breath, "Just wait til I can teleport."

You have to watch wrestling because it's the only thing on and you think, "Poor saps. So violent."

You can't say, 'I'll kill you,' anymore because you know you can't.

You think, "Why have telephones when you can just 'path to them?"

You've ever tried to teleport to the beach because it's forty below where you are.

If you've ever been stuck in traffic jam that lasted almost five hours and wished you could teleport.

If you think, "Why drive, I can teleport." Then you realize you've got to break out first.

You no longer require any type of inconvenience whatsoever to make you think, "I wish I could Jaunt/Teleport". It just comes to you like, "I'm hungry" or "I'm tired".

You fully expect to jaunt away from any inconvenience.

Instead of visualizing your current living quarters when someone uses the word "home", you see the lab/the space ship.

The first thing you ask a magic 8-ball is, "Am i going to break out?" (and of course, threaten to smash it if it says "no").

And of course, you know the best way to smash it is to try and levitate it.

Walking down the school hallway, you hear someone say, "Ohmigod, I'm breaking out!" and are about to rush over and thoroughly question them, but you see them squeezing a big zit in their locker mirror. Just in case, you watch them carefully for the next few days.

At first you were thrilled to have a dream about The Tomorrow People, and now you can't remember a recent one *without* a reference.

Your non-TP fan friend calls you yelling about some old song titled "The Tomorrow People" and you don't lose interest when you find out it has no connection to the show.

The same thing happens with: "Homo Superior", "Time to Break Out", "New Man for a New Age" - none of which have any thing to do with the Tomorrow People at all.

You own four copies of a cheesy SF novel by Judith Merril for no other reason than the title - The Tomorrow People.

For no obvious reason, you stay up all night watching all the new series episodes, only to "wake up" the next morning and announce you'll be spending the day watching one other than "The Tomorrow People".

Every few days you'll find a Tomorrow People tape in your backpack that you never put there.

You start weighing your TP tapes to see if their weight fluctuates as you watch them more.

Someone asks you what your favourite currently airing show is, and you don't know the answer.

You get a blood test, and a few days afterwards you get a letter from the hospital. You get all excited that it's something about them never seeing your blood type before, but it's really just a bill.

You accidentally leave the sound on on your TV, and lying awake at night you hear it playing. You're all excited that you're breaking out - and then you recognize the Seinfeld episode.

The two most common questions you're asked are, "Do you have any interests besides The Tomorrow People?" and "Why do you like The Tomorrow People?"

Your sibling is known at school as "the kid who's sister watches that weird show".

You seriously consider which TP you should copy your clothing style from.

You write "telepathic conversations" with a friend (which consist of eye movements, hand signals, laughter, etc) to trick your other friends into thinking you're telepathic.

You even manage to convince the friend that's helping you that you are telepathic.

You wonder what your friends would think if they knew some of the things you get yelled at for ("if i ever hear the Original Series theme blaring at 2 AM again...")

You feel guilty when you watch the TP while doing your homework - not because you weren't paying enough attention to your homework, but because you weren't paying enough attention to the TP.

Your sibling gets on your nerves, you consider trying to kill them just to see if you can. You figure it's a win-win situation. Either you're a TP, or you've gotten rid of your sibling.

You buy a pair of jeans just because of the brand name "evolution".

You decide to copy all your tapes onto 8 mm film, even though it's expensive and rather purposeless.

Someone's trying to teach you to play a video game and you ask, "What button do I press to Teleport?" and you refuse to play the game unless there's an answer.

You make an hour-long video of yourself "Teleporting" (turn the camera on, turn it off, walk away, turn it on) and watch it to cheer yourself up when you're in a bad mood.

You get binders that you can put a piece of paper inside for the cover, and then print out TP pictures to stick inside.

Your friend (jokingly) steals one of your TP tapes, and is shocked to find himself pinned against the wall despite the fact that he's twice your size.

You're always a TP for halloween, and are constantly irritated when people ask "what are *you*? Did you even get dressed up?"

Your class is talking about ideas on the meaning of life, but the words "The Tomorrow People" keep flashing distractingly in your head.

You get irritated with your piano teacher because she says she not only has she never heard of the TP, but she can't teach you any of the TP themes on the piano.

Your parents restrict your television watchings, hoping to branch your interests, but when you hear about it, you think to yourself "only an hour a day!? Looks like I don't have time to watch Star Trek, the X-Files, Sliders, *or* the News!"

You don't have enough time to watch the TP, but you put an episode on anyway, and say to it, "I'll be with you in spirit".

You're having trouble practicing the guitar because the first few notes of your finger excercise are identical to the first two notes of the original series theme. Instead of doing your excercise, you find yourself attempting to pluck out the theme.

Whenever you're left alone in the house, you put a different TP episode on each TV and have fun running up and down stairs to follow along with all of them at once.

In Spanish class, you're reading a bunch of well concealed thread theories. You start laughing in the middle of a lecture, and are asked what was so funny. You seriously consider saying, "Oh, I'm sorry. Would you prefer if I refrained from Telepathic conversation during class?" but instead blame a classmate for making weird faces at you.

You write email telling you friend over in Budapest to teleport over to watch Voyager, then, when she doesn't show up, threaten to tell Mike (after rejecting the ideas of telling John and Liz) on her for ditching you.

You're given the assignment to dream up a new invention, and you convince your group to choose a teleporter machine.

You wonder why Babylon 5's telepaths have not broken out yet.

You have to write a story in English class, and the only thing you can come up with is the Tomorrow People.

You find that your 0.75 gigabytes of memory on your computer is all TP related.

While having a real bad day (major headache), the only thing you can think of saying is, "Why can't I just teleport out of this!!!"

You wave your hand at the TV that is on, then it turns off for some reason. You immediately suspect that you are breaking out.

You carry around a TP tape not because you intend to view it in the near future, but just because you like your tape.

You get comments from your parents like "You really *do* need a pet, you've adopted your tape!"

You are sitting in class listening to a case story being read by the professor. When he announces the part where the first grade student is hearing voices, you immediately think, "He may be a little young, but I would suggest to the teacher that he was probably just breaking out at a very young age."

While watching Stargate SG-1, when they are discussing how to get Teal'k out of the "prison", Daniel says, "You mean break out"? and you think, "Great that means all three of them will teleport away to safety".

Before a major presentation your roommate keeps repeating "The worst that can happen is I disappear in a flash of light. The worst that can happen is I disappear in a flash of light..." and she even asks "If I disappear in a flash of light, you'll cover for me, right?"

You've been working on a fanfic for the last week and just when you are about to send it off to be beta-read, someone else's fanfic with an identical theme and which is almost identical in nature appears on the list, thus proving the existence of list telepathy!

The dry erase tiles outside your door indicate that your room is the TP lab. Doubly so if the "TP" is the stylized logo from the AE suits.

You hang upside down for hours on end, wondering if the extra blood to your head will enhance your brain's ability, and help along your attempts at breaking out.

You're filling out an application for a library card, and one of the blanks asks for your occupation. You write "Tomorrow Person" only to have your parent make you erase it and write "student".

You hear a report on the radio saying that a guitarist in your favourite group has a solo album coming out two months, and assume that means that the group broke up. The only sympathy your parent offers you is a sarcastic, "I hope you don't make a big deal out of this like when that show was canceled".

You feel like giving up any shred of pacifism when you hear The Tomorrow People referred to as that show.

You have to do an oral report on one of the human senses, and since you forgot to research anything, you do an on-the-spot on ESP (and surprisingly, get a good grade).

You're sleeping in the car, and jerk awake when someone says, "Well, the thing about golf is that it's mind over matter. You've got to *think*."

Your friends use the word "teleport" to get your attention when you're too lost in whatever you're doing to respond to your name.

You insist on pulling your hair back when you wear your list T-shirt so that everyone you come across can have the "benefit" of reading the quotes on the back.

You call the Nickelodeon 800 line and ask if they are willing to sell the rights to The Tomorrow People, and are thoroughly outraged when then the operator doesn't know what The Tomorrow People is.

One of your vocab words is "jaunt" and you're so surprised and delighted, you find yourself standing up. Your teacher, shocked that you've stood up in the middle of class for no apparent reason, asks you for the definition. You say, "It means to disappear from one place, and then reappear somewhere else, not traveling the distance in between. It's a synonym for teleport." After receiving a *very* strange look, you admit that it can also mean a short pleasure trip. You get yet *another* weird look because the latter definition was the exact wording in your teacher's dictionary.

You study Britain and it takes everything you got not put in TP references.

Your best friend calls you and asks you to come over to her house and you accidentally say, "Why don't you just jaunt over here?"

You try to telepathically get the answers to the Algebra test from your best friend next you only to discover she's got a different version of the test than you.

You drink more and more coffee trying to decide if it's the amount of coffee one drinks that determines how quickly one breaks out.

Nothing upsets you more than when your best friend "disappears" and refuses to tell where she went to.

You're reading Alice in Wonderland for English class and Alice tells Tweedledee "I've got a headache" and your first thought is "Oh my Lord! Alice was TP!" then remind yourself that she's a fictional character.

A girl in your school has 'I love T.P. (Thomas Paige)' on her notebook and you follow her around after school, just in case she's not talking about Thomas.

You see a group of kids in a mall that look like the TP and you haul [bleep] to the used bookstore.

You stand in the bookstore for over four hours and then think, "Well of course they avoided me, they knew I was here," but decide to stick around just in case they come back.

When flirting with another TP fan instead of saying, "If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together," you say, "If I could rearrange the alphabet I'd put T and P together."

When asked what you'd want in a boyfriend you reply, "Telepathy, teleporting, telekinesis, and a cute butt."

You're watching a TV show and one of the characters says, "Little Shaun just broke out!" (He was referring to a rat in a cage that was named after his friend) and you immediately think his friend teleported somewhere. Then you look up interested and get all disappointed when you realise he meant the rat escaped from the cage.

You are at work and the computer tells you that you need to find an alternate TP, and you think, "which member of either the new or original cast would the computer prefer you to use."

While watching your cat complain that he wants some canned food, you ask him why he is complaining, and your mother says "Why did you ask him that? You're the telepathic one." And then you say, "I know I am, but he won't answer!", then you realize what you said afterwards.

You wish you had TK so you can show off to the hackers in school. (For anyone that does not know what hacking is, it's when you hit a bean (or plastic bead) filled ball with your feet, or anything but your hands, and not computer hacking.)

While looking through sound files, you find a file named 'tp.wav', and wonder if it had anything to do with TP. (It did not. I can't remember what it had to do with. I think it was had something to do with Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy).

You wish you could telekinetically lock all of the Senior's lockers in your school. (It'd confuse *all* of the Seniors in my school.)

While watching The Visitor, you keep thinking that Adam McCarther might break out. (He's telepathic and telekinetic.)

You're watching the first episode of the new Ocean Girl with your friends and they look at you strangely when your only comment is "Not another 'alien civilizations built the pyramids story'"

Someone says that if they met aliens, they'd ask them if they had teleporters because he's too lazy to leave his room, and you go through teleporting kids, jaunting bands and belts, and then matter transporters when you realize he means transmission thingies where they have to be on both ends -- machines that have *nothing* to do with TP.

You come up with a new practical use for telepathy: in case of a broken intercom which shorts out in the middle of opening night of a play in which not all the actors in the dressing room know their cues.

Your coaching an academic team match, one of the questions begins, "Identify the hypothetical human being of superior intellectual and moral attainment invented by...." and your first thought is "Homo superior of course." The rest of the question was ".... invented by German philosopher Nietzsche." I almost jumped out of my seat when one of the players on the opposing team buzzed in with the answer "Homo superior." I don't suppose you are on the list by any chance? Unfortunately I did not get a chance to ask him afterward about any possible connections to the TP. The real answer by the way was "Ubermensch" (superman was also accepted).

Your computer boasts several shortcuts to TP themes and snippets of dialogue, as well as a related background picture on its worktop. It is set up to make TP related sounds for certain functions. )

When you make a TP web page, go to submit it to search engines, and list it under "Education".

You constantly have to explain what jaunt means. (I have to explain this in school. Most people can't understand me.)

After you do explain what jaunt means, they give you a funny look and wander off in the other direction.

In one of the books you are reading, you see a sentence that looks like this, "...who sat across from me in Trig class," then you think that it was the school in the Galactic Trig, but then realize that it could not possibly be, because the main character is *way* too violent to go there (Okay, I admit it, I was reading a 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' book, but I like it!)

You download an ESP tester because your homework load is light, so you're bored. After taking the TK test (there was also clairvoyance and precognition) it says that your score was significantly high, and the chances to getting your score were greater than 100 to one. You scream, and your mother comes running into your room. "What's wrong? What's wrong?" You get a puzzled look when you declare that you're a Tomorrow Person.

Someone asks your friend if her makeup is going to make her "break out" again and you initially think of it the wrong way. Bonus points if you're wearing your list T-shirt at the time.

After staying up until 3:30 to fix your project, you have a dream that crosses over the TP with South Park. (I would have woken up screaming if I hadn't fallen out of bed instead.)

You have a reprieve from work to get caught up on your HW, and what do you do? Mail the TPDIS list with more "ykybwtmtp!"

Your horoscope suggests, "tonight vanish," and you get so excited trying to figure out exactly how you're going to break out that evening that you miss a chapter of The Medusa Strain. (That's what I got for reading the paper while watching The Tomorrow People!)

Every time you receive a static shock, you're convinced that it's your teleporting energies making a pre-break out appearance.

You yawn non-stop for almost 20 minutes straight, and all you can think is that one of the TP has been knocked out with chloroform again.

The only way you can find to smash a computer is to lift it 20 meters above the ground with telekinesis, then drop it.

You try to convince your mum to name the foster kitten Jade, but she won't let you. (Can't name her Carol, Liz, Ami, or Lisa. Those are some of the volunteers names. I volunteer at an animal shelter.)

You're at the mall and your friends start making insulting, degrading comments about women (it's a sports team) and you think, "I should've brought my car. Oh well, if only I could just teleport home," - and then you try to do it.

Your friends are talking about people who hear voices and you think, "They probably were half broken out but were doing something such that they couldn't finish the job."

You're on your way to ER and keep on thinking "I need a TP!"

You learn about a reagent called "TPCK" in class and try to figure out what the CK is (Tomorrow People....). (It's actually a cytosine kinase or something...)

You're attempting to play golf, and while putting you see if you can't use TK to get it to go in.

You unsuccessfully try to teleport to your ball so you don't have to lug your bag in 80-degree weather.

A patently obvious joke e-mail sent to your friend results in him taking it seriously, and when your accomplice pleads to him that you're not mind readers, you immediately add, "We haven't broken out yet!"

You're going away for break, and the first people to be notified via e-mail are on TPDIS and TPFICT.

You come up with a theory of 'differing telepathic frequencies' when talking with a friend in order to explain how you can be a Tomorrow Person, and she can be a Tomorrow Person, and yet you are unable to contact each other telepathically.

You talk about TP so much that your friends start dreaming about it.

You decide you're in girls' softball so you can watch the TP with the team... and you're a guy!

You watch the TP in the library during recess even though there's a class going on in the same room and it's against the school policy (it was only Russian!)

You save an image you just scanned as tp01.jpg and immediately think, so is that John or Adam? (And if you want to know, the picture was actually of a golliwog - "tp01" is an item product code.)

You put a TP episode into the movie projector so you can see it on the "big screen" - even though you're breaking like, eight rules (can't be in the Meeting room without a faculty member, cutting class, putting feet on the Meeting benches, eating in the Meeting room, messing with the lighting, messing with the electric, setting up the movie projector) and risk getting suspended. (Like three teachers walked in on me and just said "Oh no! Not The Tomorrow People again!")

You then taunt your friend for not coming to school that day because he was pretending to celebrate a holiday that he didn't, and your friend actually gets upset. ("I could have seen A Rift In Time on the big screen! Arpi, you should have telepathed me! I would have jaunted into school!")

When your Design teacher hands you the fifth revised supplies list for your course and complains that you should have gotten everything already, you get so irritated that you say out loud, "If I could teleport, maybe then I'd have half of the stuff you've listed!"

You actually bother to explain what that comment really meant just to steer her away from the quiz she assigned for the day.

Someone in your hall says, "He broke out" and you get really excited until you realize it was the news and they meant out of prison.

You spend the 15 minutes that you should be using to e-mail your parents for money since the monitor in your room crashed to send this stuff to TPDIS.

You feel guilty about playing cards with 'saps' because you have an unfair advantage. (John wouldn't approve anyway - but I never saw the old series so put Adam in his place)

Someone says that they went jaunting and you look at their belt.

You respond to the TP's names better than your own.

You set your TV to skip over Nickelodeon while channel surfing because the last time you watched you caught them reviving the "Nick is everyday" thing - with nogglevision instead of Kristian Schmid!

You've seen all the episodes of Rocko's Modern Life just in the time you've spent rewinding your TP tapes.

You have trouble concentrating in math class when the teacher uses the letters "t" and "p" as variables in equations.

You keep a towel in the shower so you can grab it if you start to Teleport. (Hey, if Megabyte had enough time to yell, "What's happening to me!?" I'll have enough time to grab my towel!)

You're told there's a fire and you need to get out, and you debate grabbing your TP books.

You start whimpering while watching Babylon 5 because the telepaths are being decidedly non-TP like.

You keep expecting them to say "Tomorrow People" instead of "Tomorrow Land" at certain Disney parks.

You're scared by a weird dramatic presentation and try really hard *not* to jaunt.

You tell your roommate something, she doesn't believe you, and you swear on your TP books, then she believes you.

You forget that the term "break out" or "broke out" applies to anything other than becoming a TP.

Your younger sibling asks you for advice on what to do about this kid who's beating him up on the playground, so you tell him that the kid who's beating him up is a mean sap and just to jaunt away. Although he looks confused, you venture to remind him never to use his special powers to get revenge.

Later your parent lectures you half an hour later on how important it is to be able to differentiate fantasy and reality.

After retrieving some backed-up cookie recipes (don't ask, they're my mum's), you find they've been replaced by TP fanfic...

Your mum's decided that the TPs have taken over the computer...

While listening to 'Do the Evolution' by Pearl Jam, you keep wondering if the song's about TPs...

You have lottery drawings for room selection, and start wondering if you can develop precognition so you know who to beg to room with you when they draw a good number!

Your mail server finally stops bouncing after over a week and your first action is to get back on TPFICT and TPDIS!

You teach a class on cognitive psi and talk about the mechanism in the brain that enables you to jaunt.

You lose all respect for yourself when you notice the phrase 'jaunted to the lab' while editing a New Series fanfic.
