Are You Addicted to the Internet?

redmarvel · 01-19-2007, 12:10 PM

Do you spend over 12 hours a day online? Do you surf endlessly without satisfaction? Do you feel hopeless and angry when your connection drops? If so, you may be addicted to the Internet. But fear not, in this day and age you have options other than chopping your Ethernet cord cold-turkey.

Rehab clinics are opening around the world for internet addiction. First in China, now in Italy.

Do you spend over 12 hours a day online?
No, and I don't mean "No, I spend more!"

Do you surf endlessly without satisfaction?
I go where I need to. When I'm finished, I log off.

Do you feel hopeless and angry when your connection drops?
No, but sometimes annoyed.

I usually only post when I'm listning to music, or when I can't sleep at night.

So...that's basically it. I'm not really addicted, I don't think.
well, maybe a little.......

Oh yeah. Feel the burn from the high speed. Damn that's some good ****.

Dude even without the internet you still wouldn't have a life. You'd just go out and buy a life size poster of alba,cut her out, mount it on card and sit there talking to it all day while slowly rocking backwards and forwards...
