You Know You're a Writer When...

...you have a smattering of knowledge on a wide variety of highly specific subjects that will probably never again be useful to you.
...something awful happens to you and your first thought is "Research!"
...your search history is full of things like "How to kill someone with a spoon." and "Spitting cobra range." (literally just two things from my recent search history.)
...the government, or whoever is spying on your search history, probably thinks you're an aspiring serial killer.
...you notice people in public that look like your characters and suddenly feel really awkward around them.
...you panic when you've lost your list of ways to kill people. Or your list of 15th century French names. Or your list of the most poisonous mushrooms.
...your dreams have plotlines, and in your dream you think, "This would be a great story idea!" so you try to write it down...while still in your dream.

Feel free to add your own :D
