Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Adult Beginners Forum you know you're a piano addict when...

I get this too... Withdrawal symptoms and a desperate feeling about when I can next get to a piano again. Feelings of longing while at work and general distraction from things you should be concentrating on because you actually feel a bit ill with wanting to go play so much.

... when you have a photo of your piano in your wallet (and you look at it with love all the time).

When on monday colleagues at work asking if you have had a good weekend. And the only true answer is yes, I played piano! But if you say that, people stare at you if some mathematics is rolling out your mouth. So instead you lie and say something like no, I slipped on a frog walking in the park and fell on my back. It hurt so much, so I stayed home.

When you pay to have your piano's portrait painted by a professional. (Not my piano, but I know the artist who did the portrait.)

When your facebook profile pic is of your piano. I put this up when the piano was new to me, but it's been quite a while now--probably time to change it.

But, really, I have no problem...

My eBay profile is a piano.

... when in an emergency you think of your piano before you think of yourself, and are ready to happily die with it if necessary.

Rather than having a picture of your hubby, your sister's new baby or your other sister's lovely kids, the pic on your cell phone is of your piano!

...and the ring tone is one of your own recorded pieces

I'd be more worried if the ring tone was the baby crying.

when your wife says : all piano should be destroid

... when you play with your feet when you are eating because you are hungry but don't want to interrupt the bliss.

When you are on a several hour job interview, they give you a break for lunch, and on your way to grab a quick bite you hear an employee jamming on the chapel piano (this was at a hospital) and you're tempted, really tempted...

America is talking about middle class tax. When asked about what class you belong to, I answered Intermediate.

In our new church (episcopal now after born & raised catholic) I stated my observation that they use the organ during the readings and use the piano for intermission. Turning red, I immediatly realized that I should have said "communion" .

you know you're a piano addict when you have a calculus final tomorrow morning and you play piano instead of studying and convince yourself that "at least the music theory will help me learn my fractions!"

When you throw a sickie at work, just to practice (slippery slope lol)

and

Cant wait for your Toddler to go to bed, just so you can play! (terrible mother here ha!)

A smart way to study! It's not so much the fractions per se, but it will maximize all your neural connections . That's how I persuade myself that a break from work to play piano is really efficient.

...When you sing a lullaby to your piano before going to bed.

When you think about your piano more than your husband lol

LOL! Hope you put its lid down so it has a good sleep!
