Poll question: Are you addicted to this danged forum?
I come to this forum several times a day, and always - every time - leave annoyed. There is no single thing that annoys me. It is a plethora of things, a cornucopia of things, a bottomless cup of coffee full of things.

But I always come back. Always.

So you know how I'm voting.

Dammit.

10. Aaaggghhhh!! I can't wait till the primaries are over!!!

Talking politics, and campaigning in the real world is fun. Here, it's a nightmare -- but I can't stay away!!

31. That's how I feel exactly!
I'm on my way out now to do a lit drop. I love the excitement of a campaign with real people.

But I still keep showing up back here.

Calgon, take me away...........

12. Yes, I'm sick in the head
I was pretty much a lurker till this forum got started. But when the attacks started coming, I had to get in and defend my guy. Now, I can't get enough of it. I love the Mosh Pit.

13. It does get the juices going
I have to check in a couple times a day just to see what people are saying.

Sometimes I leave excited, sometimes pissed off, sometimes shaking my head . . . but as Rosanne Rosannadanna used to say, "It's always something!"

14. no, i like mud
and despair and grunge, grit and gradoo. I step in here and leave after a response (maybe one...okay two) and wipe my feet and shake my soul off, and get back to my life (which is no success story i admit, but hey, i'm okay with that today) and get over it.

Everybody needs a little love, it's a shame what we have to go through to get some tho, to badly paraphrase Brautigan...

Edited on Sat Jan-31-04 04:42 AM by juajen
My computer has been on the fritz since my hubbie spilled coffee all over it. It's finally ok again and I missed this forum the most. I was without it for at least a month. Talk about crazy!

Edited for spelling.

27. Yes. My first post today was yesterday.
About 12 or 14 hours ago. I'm shocked I can still type coherently at this point really.

Does anyone else still consider it today if you are awake past 12 and technically it's the next day? I tend to count my "todays" as time I am awake regardless of the clock.


Maybe I'll just have another bong hit.

28. Dangerously addicted
Every time I tell myself one more cruise past the latest page and then I'll get back to work I find some interesting thread and get sucked right back in. By the time I am done with that thread and ready to get back to work, I cruise past the lastest page one last time and guess what....

It's a vicious cycle, I tell ya!!

35. I can stop anytime I want to. Really, I can. I just like it here. No,
really, I can stop, if I wanted to, I could.

Hang on, I have to run over to LBN. But then, I'll stop for a few hours, or maybe for half an hour.

37. Totally addicted
and I do get progressively more pissed as I go through more and more loonbin threads and posts. Hell I put people on ignore and then put them back on normal just so I can see what tripe "ignored" had to say this time. Its a sad addiction.

I was brought to tears when DU made discussion forums viewable during the 2000 selection only to paid subscribers. I was unemployed, and had to scrape togehter the money (my couch saved me).

Not being able to vent, or share a view, is hell...
