...when you use common adjectives and nouns in contexts that normal people wouldn't (like "Tic-Tac," "Monkey," "Lazy," or "Pistol").

...when you want to volunteer to fix that rickety, old handrail/fence for no other reason than the fact that its potential as a trainin ground is being wasted...

...when you keep a bucket filled with rice in your house, and it's not for cooking.

...when one of your life goals is to travel to a remote, small town in France that most people have never heard of.

...when your desktop background is something Parkour-related.

...when you plan your vacations around jams.

...when your handprints are staining the floor becaues of you qming on the dirty floor

Haha my parents are starting to get mad about that = P.

...cat's have become your best friend far more than dogs.

...play Oblivion and enjoy getting your athletics skill up, and get it from doing parkour jumps =D

...wish that Call of Duty 4 would have more parkour stuff than just lazy vaulting over small things.

...kid's ask why you actually do the stretches in gym class before doing anything.

...wonder how the hell your pull up count is so high for gym.

...all of the cross country/track & field coaches beg you to join the team.

...you get lost in class thinking about incredible parkour places.

...you have the layout of your Parkour course in your back yard.

...see a kid at an open gym do something remotely similar to a parkour vault and beg him to join your team and train with you.

... when your falls become a sign of progress.

... when you intentionally leave your phone in another room after someone says they're calling right back.

... if you've ever done a kong to dash using the arms on your dive-in sofa.

... when you find a sweet spot to train and you can't use it because you might lose your job.

... when you find yourself comparing Sun Tzu to David Belle.

... when you have the feeling that some day David Belle will precision Chuck Norris.

... when you're in a serious conversation and start thinking about the pros and cons of the other person's shoes for the purpose of parkour.

... if you've posted in this thread and done 99 percent of the things in it.  Tongue

...You've had to explain what parkour is to security

You practice the roll everywhere, especially down department store and library aisles

You've broken 2 Nintendo DS's in parkour related accidents

You've watched the yamakasi movie(s) so many times that you have learned what they are saying based on context rather than actually knowing french.

Have at least one pk video on your psp!

yeah, my zune has about 4 or 5 vids that I've downloaded from Youtube or that people have posted links to. In fact, I have a separate folder on my zune for PK related vids and such.
