I'm trying to watch my tivo'd basketball game that I missed at work last night. How come I've been awake reading and posting on WP for an hour-and-a-half when I could have watched the entire game and been to bed by now? I've only made it five minutes into the game.

Rhetorical question but I figure other people can relate.

I stay on here all day now.
Apart from when I'm sleeping or in the shower.
I get distracted when I'm eating as well, because I stay on here at the same time.
I think I'm addicted.
I should stop.
But I can't.
I think I messed up my exams from not dpoing enough revision.
I blame it on WP if I do badly. :D

I'm still in the newborn, very excited about weeing everywhere stages.
Like, let's go read some forum time! Yeah!

I relate it to eating my easter egg today. I had to eat it all before I could be comfortable in my bedroom.
The thing with this is that it doesn't have a forseeable end so getting in your WP time is a great deal more problematic than eating an easter egg (stomach ache noted). Eventually you just tear yourself away thinking "holy mackerel, how am I going to wake up in the morning?" or fall asleep, drooling on the keyboard.

think about it!

I had an Easter egg yesterday as well.
I've been here a few weeks now.
I hope I'm not still this obsessed by the time I go back to university. :?

The internet is oddly addictive like that...I draws you in....

I just have to be strict with myself - but sometimes I don't want to be strict - I just want to mess about online for ages!!

Holy shnikeys! ROBIN? IS THAT YOU?? lol kidding.

Anyways, I have my moments.
Currently my aggravating indecisiveness about my education is consuming my time.

Good...you've made it to step 1 in the 12 step addiction program...

Step 1: Admitting you have a problem...

Sorry I can help you with the other steps...I'm stuck at one myself. :D

I don't think I could be on here all day every day because, quite honestly, there is not enough entertainment to keep me here. Being on here for half an hour in the mornings, an hour or two in the afternoon and another two hours in the evening is enough. Otherwise it begins to take over your life and stops you doing from what your other duties/interests.
