:? :? :? :? :? :? :?

I can't stop coming back here, asking so many things, then waiting for an answer. It's a repeated pattern and I think I have done it again.

Haha. I'm on Xfire 24/7
I think it is a wonderful place.
I come here a lot just to answer as many posts as possible.
The mmstick likes answering posts.
And then I was banned on Yahoo! Answers for getting too many Best Answers!!

x3 You're not the only one. I'm a newcomer to this particular site, but I have others which I check obsessively and I've long since come to terms with my addiction to the internet in general. I have a good friend on the internet who also admits to obsessively refreshing pages when she's waiting for a roleplay post.

Unfortunately, I can't really tell you what to do about it. First question I guess is do you want to do anything about it? If you use Firefox as a browser I know a way to forcibly block yourself from certain sites, but that probably wouldn't be addressing the problem itself, only its effects. Maybe you should search Google for some advice on dealing with an internet dependence/addiction? The internet has answers to everything, including how to stop using the internet. X3
