When you try to mimic the spell casting poses.
Oh god, I've caught myself doing this before. It's spreading!

When you know the lyrics to ragnar the red and age of agession/opression

Nah, that's easy, those are in english. But when you know the chorus of the "dragon language" ones, you know you've got a problem :hehe: Like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3NbcaCx_Uk or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNxghyQKFQM :blush:

When you go to a fancy, posh reception and you start asking people "Do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh, what am I saying, of course you don't."

Very nice!

when you actually want to try grilled leeks just to see what all the fuss is about

Actually, long before Skyrim, I was putting these on the BBQ. Just wash 'em and throw them on the grill and they get mild and tender. Tasty!

Okay, this is serious: When I play Skyrim now, I completely loot everything off of everybody I kill. Then I will randomly put it back on other dead bodies so that when those characters go to Skyrim Nirvana (errr...) and get resurrected, they TOO get to come back as a different character. For example, kill some falmers and put their gear on a bandit, or kill a vampire and put his robes on his thrall, and the thrall's armor on the vampire (bit o' role reversal). I have to kill everyone so everybody gets a chance to try a different role out. Umm.. Okay, I think I need to stop now.... :)

In Canada, we have provinces. One day I legitimately thought the province I live in was called Skyrim.

I was actually tripping balls the other night and literally thought I was in Skyrim. I guess I texted my friend a huge speech about how we need to get rid of the Stormcloaks because they're poisoning our society :frog:

... you start a new char, make the run to the Helgen keep, just to have an awesome idea of a new build/char. Then quit to main menu, start another char, make your way to the Keep and quit to create another char...

My husband wanted to know what Fus Ro Dah was so I stood up and yelled out my best imitation of what my character sounds like. For a tiny, tiny, split second as I was yelling, the thought went through my head that I would have to clean up the stuff that would fly off my desk.

When you start humming the bard songs when waiting for the bus to arrive.
Calling everyone who is drinking milk a lazy milkdrinker.
Telling the story of your life to people who walk by. Every. Guddamn. Time.
Explaining FUS RO DAH to friends not playing Skyrim.
You want to be a smith when you grow up because they make sooo much money.
Sitting in a chair like most Jarls do.
Raising your one handed with Lydia (physically or mentally), if you know what I mean.

The only game I've ever had spill into real life for me is Minecraft when I start visualizing everything as blocks despite not trying to. But other than that, in regards to Skyrim, it's only 'spilled out into real life' for me by making me REALLY want to try mead. Which is virtually non-existant outside of those who brew their own stuff.

I was trying to make some coffee and I ran off with coffee beans, so my first thought was "I can't remember where I harvested these. I need to see an alchemist or Khajiit trader to get some more."

outside my apartment complex are large planters filled with what looks unbelieveably like Red Mountain Flower.

I want to pick them. Everytime I see them.

When eating cup cakes and thinking these are some good nordy sweet cakes.

When cooking up some baked chicken with multi grain wheat bread and telling myself i should work in a Skyrim tavern.

When after an ingame fight i suddenly find myself hungry eventhough i just had a big dinner thirty minutes ago.
