You are constantly wiping lube off your keyboard!
Since I use my Blackberry to play music when I am on cam, I ended up having a rather embarrassing moment at the bar the other day where my blackberry screen was just COVERED with lube to the point it was hard to read the screen. ;D

When you proudly walk around town in your scruffy jeans, baggy t-shirt / hoody, with no makeup, (or that half-assed "I used a whole cosmetics wipe to get my ho makeup off, but yeah it didn't really work out so I gave up half-way through and now have remaining bits of mascara and eyeliner on my face but hey who cares?" look) and breezing past crowds of preppy girls and guys with their self-superior glances who put a lot of work into their looks every day and think this:
Heh... you have no idea what's underneath these clothes, or what I transform into at night, and how much people pay just to watch me. }:D

A) When you get excited over $100, then remember you only get $35 of it.
B) You think sometimes about how much money you'd have if your payout percenatge was 100.
C) You don't really sweat the small % because you still make WAY more than you would at any retail store.

You get messages like "Happy Early Birthday, sweetheart!" -soandso sent you $99
Psh. I used to get birthday presents like $25 from my parents and then told to go buy a sweater or something conservative. :P
Every single episode of CSI, Criminal Minds, NCIS, or any of their spinoffs, which features an adult worker gets EXTRA attention.
Any time you need a confidence boost, you look at your bank account (or, as I've been doing lately, your letters from the student loan service bureau showing how much you've paid off) and think "Damn rights, I did all that cuz guys PAY to see me!" -- instant ego boost.

You find an olive pit in the trisquit box after camming all night and you know you dropped it in there by mistake because you are exhausted and hungry and have everything right next to your computer.

When you accumulate and buy so much random silly shit (including but not limited to: balloons, whiteboards, prize wheels, craft paper, glue, markers, post-it notes) and spend so much time coming up with "new games and ideas" to keep everyone interested, entertained, and participating that you feel more like a kindergarten teacher than a camgirl.

When you go on a road trip with someone, and you 'just happen' to have on your phone a playlist completely made up of high energy songs to help keep energy up and keep you focused that works fantastically for the long, boring hours on the road (and of course it works just as fantastically for long, boring nights on cam too.) ;)

When you think twice about making ANY changes to your appearance - like dying your hair or even trimming your downstairs hair - and analyse whether it is "niche appropriate" or not, or whether your earnings will be affected!

You are so right! The other day when I was getting a haircut the hairstylist that was cutting my hair was going on and on about my letting her change my hairstyle. I kept telling her over and over again that I couldn't change my hair. After finding myself being lectured about people and their fear of change, I just got so frustrated and broke down and told her what I do for a living. That was the end of that discussion -- but of course it became the start of a million others. ;D

When I got my dimples pierced it started "Hey I've had these done before but took them out because I had a desk job at the time. Now I'm self employed and I'd really like them redone!" She starts prepping me, cleaning everything, small talking... "So you're self employed? What exactly do you do?" I'm in a damn tattoo shop so I figure why the hell not just tell her.. "I perform on webcam." Hahahaa, this SUPER tatooed, pierced chick's eyes get all big and her question was actually pretty cool lol.. "So you just like masturbate?" I smiled and said "Somethin like that." ;)

When a guy online gives you a compliment that any other girl would find highly derogatory and you take it as a high compliment and a guarantee that he'll be back for more.
"BB You have the nastiest filthiest mouth I ever heard on a girl" ;D
"Well aren't you just a nasty little whore" }:D
hahaha If a guy told that to one of my conservative friends they would cry.

You have a hard time relating to "old friends" who tell you about their accomplishments, because you can't tell them yours.
"Oh, MissEgo! Hi! How are you? I just got back from Washington, I was working as a consultant for the Pentagon and Department of Defense; my expertise on Estonia was extremely useful in the discussions on American and Russian relationships! What have you been up to?" (Yes, I legit had this conversation on the weekend. Fuckin bitch.) I can't exactly say "Well, I got my camscore up to 7k this summer!" now, can I? Ugh.

You go through the same footwear dilemma as a dancer- it's either bitch heels or uggs.
Guys look at you and you either
a)scrutinize them for signs of fetishes
or b)think "fuck you, pay me"
Underwear/bra sales? Yes please. Might as well get envelopes and stamps while I'm at it...
You have turned on the camera while doing dishes/making dinner.
SW is your work advice go-to/therapy
Do I want to work New Years Eve? Does the pope work Sundays?
Lube. Everywhere. (talked to a guy who said he doesn't like to use lube. I cringed outwardly on camera.)
The phrase "I know you from somewhere" strikes fear into you like the Wicked Witch of the West faced with water and starts excuses/stories running through your head faster than an atom revolution at CERN.
You google 'hooker makeup'
You think of things in terms of how many credits of your particular site it costs.
The neighbours think either a) you escort, or b) you and your partner get along REALLY, REALLY well- all because of the noises coming from your apartment.

lmao this was us yesterday and halfway through her pre-recorded video as he is telling me what she's about to do next (because he had already seen it 10 minutes prior..lol) I realize "Haha I'm not even mad he was watching SM without me! Just that this 'girl' is cheating!!!!" :P

Wow. What a bitch...
I'd have stripped in front of her, whilst a crowd of admiring onlookers cheer and trample over her to tip me.
Then I'd say "Now that, my dear, is what I have been up to.... Aw, what's wrong? Your question has been extremely useful in the discussion of our relationship!"
The audience laugh and applaud me.
Then the camera zooms out and above us both and I laugh manically unto the sky!!! }:D
Yeah that'd be happening in my mind at least! XD

When trolling old high school classmates Facebook pages and you get slightly jealous by their job titles (and the fact that they can post them on their profile) and then you remember that they are at work right now in the freezing cold (at least it is here) and you are in your warm pj's at home getting ready to masturbate for almost $50 an hr.

the dreams you remember from last night were:
A dream that you found a bra that fits and looks good for both normal life and camming.
A nightmare that the Chatzy room merged with the SM room and you were responding to the wrong people at the wrong time, couldn't tell what was going on, couldn't see which folks were clients and which were camgirls and you were therefore accidentally spilling camgirl talk to the guys in party chat.

*When you turn down the real job offer that ONLY pays $35/hour... I just had this... no way am I doing office work from 9-5, working for some creepy looking boss... And after saying "no thank you" for the job offer almost tell him- come see me on SM, think of him as a potential customer...
*when you buy every last bottle of lube at the store, because your favorite lube is marked down 75% off. (I just got 15 tubes of it and wonder if it will last at least 3 months or should I drive to another store to see if they have more).

I was so tired on cam one night and while in free chat answered a question from chatzy outloud instead of typing it, haha. Luckily it was just a normal question about some random topic.

Oh God, I can totally relate to this. I was JUST scrubbing the bathroom floor in my underwear and cursing myself for not turning on the cam ;D
Another one: when you get a bunch of Christmas presents and the first thing you think of is how you can use them in clips/cam shows.... "Oooh well I can use those socks in a foot clip, and didn't I just get a request for satin panties?" Lmao.

When your writer friends brag about part of their job being watching porn/drinking/performing/any other weird thing that's not part of a normal 9-5 and you're the only non-writer who pipes up and says "me too!" And then you dissect the similarities between writing and sex work. Spoiler: they are not too dissimilar.
When you can justify buying enough canvas to cover an entire wall to paint a mural on by saying it's an investment.
When you can justify buying anything because it's an investment.
