Signs you spend way too much time on the Internet
 
I found this today, and found that some of them are quite true. Here they are for you all to enjoy!

1. You wake up at 3:00 AM to go to the bathroom, and check your e-mail on the way back.
2. you get a tattoo that reads “This body is best viewed with Netscape Navigator 1.1 or higher.”
3. You name your children Google, Yahoo and Amazon.
4. When you turn off your modem you feel like you’ve pulled the plug on a loved one.
5. You spend half the plane trip with your laptop on your knee, and your kid in the overhead compartment.
6. You decide to stay in college an additional two years for the free internet access.
7. You start using smileys in your snail mail (I’ve caught myself doing this)
8. Your hard drive crashes, and after two hours you start to twitch, manually call the ISP access number and hum to communicate with the modem… and succeed.
9. You find yourself writing “com” after every period when using a word processor.com
10. You start introducing yourself as John_Smith103 at AOL.com
11. All your friends have an “@” in their names.
12. Your cat has its own homepage.
13. After checking your inbox, which says “no new messages,” you promptly check it again.
14. Your phone bill comes to your doorstep in a box.
15. You don’t know what the sex of your three closest friends are, because they all have gender neutral nicknames and you never bothered to ask.
16. You sneak around at night and write graffiti in 1337.

Feel free to share some of your own!

I've done numbers 1, 4, and 13.

The first step is to admit you have a problem...

BlackMageGirl! 03-14-2005 03:32 PM

1 and 13 for me as well. I have another one to add

17) When about to fall asleep, you never sign off of an IM service. You just leave an away note and collapse on your bed.

Cloud Strife 03-14-2005 03:39 PM

I've done 4, 7, 13, and 17. >.>

Maybe I should try out this thing they call... what was it? 'Owt syd'?

anyone I catch doing #12 will suffer #18

18) You constantly IM someone trying to help them alleviate a problem which only exists on the internet.

Sad...a few months ago I was a normal student. Now I live on the internet, and I only gather with other geeks to laugh about computer and gaming stuff. This is the kind of thing I should have left my friends a note about saying "please just shoot me if you ever find me doing....." Disturbing how many of these I've actually done. When I turn my computer off I don't know what to do with myself...I usually turn it back on.
