4. I used to be active on a couple of other boards , but this
one is a lot more fun. The other boards had nasty flame wars, and people could be really rude to each other. I didn't want to be around that crap any more, so I stopped posting.

Just about everything I have to do for work is via internet or email, so my work life is heavily internet-based.

5. I'm only online for an hour or two a day.
And most of that time is spent here on the DU.

6. I also used to post at some other boards
but the nastiness got to be too much for me. It was too much to ask for a little civility and much less melodrama. I still lurk a bit, and will post once in a great while when something catches my attention.

So, I mainly post here at DU. While I've been very busy IRL lately, I still spend far too much time on the internets.

9. You know what really sucks?
Getting all excited when you see that you have new mail in your inbox only to find that BustedTees has a new sale going on.

:cry:

Somehow that is sadder than seeing "you have 0 unread messages"

10. I get about 30 spam emails in Korean everyday
and some in other languages.

There are a slew of mortgage brokers who think my name is Mashanda, that I live in Newark, and that I really need their mortgage badly. Wrong name, gender, and geography. I get a few of these every day.


plus, some randomly generated spam that is completely incoherant.

11. The only spam I get is...
spam to increase my bust size.

And I'm a male. x( Why would I want to increase my bust size?

12. I post a lot here, and a little at one other board.
I read a few sites. But that's it. I used to be very, very adicted to the online world but that passed.
