How do you know you're up yourself?

Evening all, a pleasure as ever. I always enjoy our nighttime adventures into the vast expanse that is idiocy. Tonight, I have prepared something a little special for you to work your minds around. I'm sure you, like me, have judged others for their knowledge of certain areas; their over-indulgence in study of philosophy and their needless obsession with Tom Waits.

You know you're up youself when:
  1. You study arts.
  2. You know enough about music to put other people off discussing it with you.
  3. You've joined a book club.
  4. You own a computer built by Apple.
  5. You drink vast amounts of wine and port (and have considered buying a pipe)
  6. You've used the term 'creative differences' to describe yourself in relation to others around you.
  7. You wear suits to expressly stated casual social occasions.
  8. You've told someone they're "not living in the real world".
  9. You write for a college newspaper (you're a lost cause when you become an editor)
  10. You've thought about buying a smoking jacket (or at least finding out what one is)
  11. You're well traveled and have become an authority on every country you've ever been to, especially while talking to locals.
  12. You watch Frasier and laugh when he gets upset about getting a pinot noir instead of a merlot because the situation references your life
  13. You write mediocre poetry and short stories so you can refer to yourself as a writer
  14. You've joined Labour because the cause 'really speaks to you' when really your true sentiments lie with FF.
  15. You quote Shakespeare at inopportune moments to prove how clever you are when really all you're proving is your memory of Leaving Certificate English.
  16. You wear glasses
  17. You've thought to yourself that you're too good for minimum wage
  18. You've bought an expensive camera with an aim towards becoming a photographer
  19. You try to apply your degree to real life social situations and find that none of it is relevant outside of your chosen field
  20. You consider Joyce lowbrow
Please feel free to mention additions to the list. Hugs for all.
