When you know you're addicted.
To the internet. Through the years, I've come to realize I'm most likely addicted. I have my reasons, and ways that helped me figure it out. Are you?
1. You feed internet information to your friends.So your friends come over to hang out, and you bring them to the computer. You just HAVE to show them that hilarious post you saw, or that new video you discovered. You can tell they're bored, but you continue to shove that internet info down their throats. Hopefully when they begin to snore, you realize you need to play Scrabble or something.
2. You sit at the computer naked.Don't try to lie to me. You're so addicted, you come right out of the shower and check your myspace/facebook/blogs before you even put clothes on. You're sitting there in your towel, seeing if you have any new subscribers on or new photo comments on Myspace. I'm hoping you're at least sitting on or in a towel ;)
3. Your elbow is dry.Last night I was laying down to sleep when I felt my elbow scratch against my blanket. From using my right hand to manuever the mouse, my right elbow is very dry. It's actually beginning to hurt, so I'm trying my best not to lean on it anymore. Too bad I can't use my left hand.4
. You check more than 7 things a day.Myspace, Facebook, Xanga, Socialvibe, Youtube, stepheniemeyer.com, shopping sites, downloading, Email. Those are my guilty pleasures, but what are yours? You feel like you're going to miss something if you don't get to that site in ONE day. You're gone for a day, and everyone says WELCOME BACK!
5. Multitasking.Your favorite tv show is on ONCE A WEEK. You decide you can't pull yourself away from the lovely people you're talking to, even though you're dying to see this episode of house. ;) So you decide to multitask. Instead of tearing yourself away from your awesome computer, you watch your show while returning comments during the commericals.
6. Dinner is ready!Either you're not cooking dinner that day, or your mom/dad still cooks it for you. Someone calls from the other room saying "Dinner is ready! Come and get it!" You reply, smelling the aroma of whatever was cooking. You're so hungy, and it smells delicious yet you STILL haven't gone to get it. A little while later the persons says "It's getting cold!" You know you're addicted when your yummy food has turned cold, yet you're still satisfied.
7. Waiting till the LAST minute.Your friend is supposed to be there to pick you up in an hour. So instead of taking the time to get ready & make yourself look nice, you decide to check your blog "really quick." You end up staying on there for 50 minutes, which leaves you 10 minutes to pull on your clothes and brush through your hair. You also wait until the last minute to do work or homework. You say you'll do it as soon as you get home, but of course you're up late because you were on the computer instead. :D
8. Pressing that HOME button.Whether you're on Myspace, Xanga, or Facebook... there is always that killer Home button. Even though you JUST pressed it like 1 minute ago, you press it again because maybe... just MAYBE... someone could have left you something that quickly. You never know ;)
9. Keyboard.So there you are writing a killer post on your site when you realize, you're not even looking down at the keyboard. You're just typing away, without needing to look and see where the letters are. Once you've mastered the no look keyboard techinque, there's no turning back. You're done for.
10. Keeping the windows open.When it's time to go into the real world, instead of closing down any windows you have open on your computer... you keep them open. This makes it simple to just come back and click the Home button without having to re-open the website. It's such an easy task, yet we figure "why not"?So, are you addicted or aren't you? I know I am. All of these things pertain to myself too. Let me know if you perform any of these tasks, or your elbow is getting a tad bit dry. I've got some killer reccomendations for the best lotion ;)

I used to work in a library and its great, I love being with everyone there. There's a ton of gossip between everyone and its hilarious to me. I love spending time and helping kids as much as I can too. I worked at the Sunset Park Branch 51st n 4th ave; when I don't have class. I left my job, because it was too far and the work wasn't exactly "on the books" so I wasn't comfy with it. and the work study is boring so i left that too so I can get some swimming time in.
Have you ever really wanted to do something sooo badly and it seems like everyone and everything is gettin in your way of doing it. Well I really want to start swimming at csi again. but I need a new bathing suit; school rules it has to be one piece and I can't find any.[of course =/] I want to order online but noone has a credit card to let me charge it on i even have the money ready. *sighz
sometimes I feel my life runs in circles...

Dear Arnel,
It's really been five years, amazing how time goes by. The first time I can say I met you was on a handball court, but it wasn't until regents week of our junior year when you felt like more then another guy i scrubbed from handball. We would go out with friends and hang out and have great fun. It wasn'y until you left for the philippines I felt my heart ache every night when I thought about what you were doing. At first I was like no way, I couldnt tell what I was feeling because I wasn't in a relationship for a very long time, and It wasn't until you came back. It hit me and I turned timid.. I couldn't even say hi to you at first .. even though every night of that month you were away I wanted to hug you so badly and be with you. I swear that blackout was more then destiny or fate.. It pushed you and me to a point where we had no choice for shyness. And the way you were there for me that day and night we walked home made me realize how much I want to be with you, and how great it is for me to know such a great friend, and also how much I loved you. Arnel I am so happy I am with you. Just like you said, I don't know how I am going to continue if you were not in my life. It would just be wierd. We became so close and so used to eachother.. that even a day away is too long. We may have been through hard times and rough situations, but we pulled through and no matter what happens baby I will always love you.. It's been two years and I am still so very much in love with you. Happy anniversary baby.
te amo, mahal kita, aishteru x3 Tasha

When I read Ovid’s Art of love I was amazed that someone would even come out with this type of humorous story/advice. It’s almost like reading a column in a magazine about how to get the woman of your dreams to be yours. Which is probably where the columnist in today’s magazines get their ideas from. The majority of the advice given also surprised me. What surprised me was how even in its humor it had some truth behind it. From the handout on page 4 lines 35-43 “Above all, don’t go near her on her birthday; or indeed on any day when you’re expected to give a present. However much you try to wriggle out of it, she’ll make you buy her something. A woman always knows how to exploit an ardent lover. Some pedlar fellow will be sure to turn up, and since buying’s a mania with them all she’ll be sure to find the very things she wants. She’ll ask you to look at them; then she’ll kiss you, and say “Oh do buy me that. It’ll last for years; it’s just the very thing I want and you couldn’t buy me anything I should like more.” It’s no good saying you don’t have any money on you; she’ll ask to write a cheque, and then you’ll curse the day you learned to write.” It continues to say how after that you are basically screwed and you have to continually buy her stuff and lend her money every time she asks because whatever and when ever she needs it is extremely important. It is extremely hilarious because there are times when I too do this to my husband. But I would never admit it to him. I wouldn't be shocked at how many other women might do this to their lovers or significant others. So Ovid to me speaks the truth and the truth is usually funny to us when we realize that we too do these things to gain the person we love.
