- you carry a screw driver with you everywhere
- every time you hear music ou can't help moving your feet
- you get in trouble at school or stern looks at work for tapping under your desk
- you're constantly making rhythms with the different objects around you
- getting a new pair of tap shoes is one of the greatest things in the world
- breaking them in just right IS the greatest thing in the world
- you understand that ballet dancers arent the only ones who can dance on their toes
- shoes that don't make noise just arent as appealing
- you respect that Gene Kelly is of god-like status
- you sound like a broken reccord announcing that tap dancing is making a comeback
- people don't invite you back because you've ripped up their floor
- you use verbal sounds to explain what your feet are doing (Dah diggy diggy DAH)
- you understand said verbal sounds without any confusion
- you have significantly less glitter on your costume than everybody else
- tip-toeing around backstage is just a natural reaction
- you show your appreciation not by clapping, but by slamming your foot on the floor repeatedly
- you've made a promise to keep your tap shoes as far away as possible from the kitchen floor
- you could do the shim sham in your sleep
- losing a skrew is cause for stopping the whole class to search
- you sometimes close your eyes at performances just to listen
- 'everyday I'm shufflin' means something completely different to you than it does to the majority of the population
- you have trouble finding boots to accomodate your giant calf muscles
- you can quote singing in the rain from memory
- you tap while waiting in lineups (and sometimes don't even realize you're doing it)
- the day you upgraded from buckles to laces was one of the greatest days ever
- you love making sweet beautiful music with your feet
