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 ;)
