You guys need to stop - seriously.

[ArcticFox]

My schedule:
Get up, go to school, spend all 70 minutes of first period posting at the forums. Go to 2nd and suffer in math class (which I hate and I hope it dies and gets hit by a speeding semi truck), then World History and watch yet another movie, run and buy lunch (takes 5 minutes) and then jack my wireless router into the school and surf in the next room (being the library) and post some more.

Then I go to 4th period (greenhouse), leave 15 minutes early and go back and spend the remaining 85 minutes of my school day posting at TIMO because it's the only thing to do as an office aide. Then I go to driver's ed (fun) and get pissed because the fargin' car drives itself (POS automatic Chevy Malibu) and I can't stop keeping my head from resting on the headrest.

Then I walk home, drop my binder, history book, math book, ream of paper, all three pens, and my calculator on the floor. After making 4 cups of Folgers and finishing it all off, I go to the coffee shop with my WiFi card and post for another hour while sipping yet another coffee until I realize there is a reason I don't have internet access. So I go home and then when everyone else is asleep, use my 56k to post until 12pm, which I then go to sleep and the cycle starts again.

I'm currently failing math, but my other classes are fine (just need to turn in like 5 papers for history) and it's all because of this addictive forum. It's worse than when I was on my Diamond Mine phase (replace forum with Diamond Mine and you can understand).

Is there any help for me? Anyone else in this scene?

It's a lost cause... I'm in the same boat. I'm becoming the joke of the family. I will even wake up at 2am to go to the bathroom, and jump online to see if anything new has been posted.

I am thinking of starting an FPA (Forum Posting Anonymous), with a 12 post program...

It's so bad, that my dog has recently taken up licking my computer, to get my attention. (he lays in front of it, liking the case. I'm just glad my 2.0 usb ports are covered ).

Well, until the day when the world has a great need for professional forum posters, I guess we're just screwed...

Hmmm, Folgers. Excelant taste in coffee.

I would suggest enjoying it for now---

Wait till you add:

A sucky job you have to go to
A wife
kids
a mortgage
car payments
insurance
the next door neighbor
not enough $$$ to make your world spin
traffic
in-laws
bills you never imagined
not enough time
arguments with the wife
dis-trust
alcohol
divorce
child support
dating again at 30
visitation
smog

etc etc etc

[StealthyV]

are you really doing visitation, thekingofpain? that's my job!!! if you live in New Hampshire, you've prolly seen me, lol.

I work for the County and I'm not even a resident of this state, lol. being paid by the taxpayers is fun.

yeah, I'm still in school. but I'm dropping out soon to persue a career (um I hope) in electronic music, clubs, puters or anything technical. I hope you won't see me at the Mobil Mart in Connecticut! lol I worked there for a solid 5 years, and I can't be seen there again!

What would you think if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.
Mmm, I get high with a little help from my friends.
Mmm, gonna try with a little help from my friends.

What do I do when my love is away?
Does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day?
Are you sad because you're on your own?

No, I get by with a little help from my friends.
Mmm, get high with a little help from my friends.
Mmm, gonna try with a little help from my friends.

Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love.
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.
Mmm, get high with a little help from my friends.
Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

you guys are defintely addicted to forum. I think it would take me probably 10 years to get up to the 4,000 post. I love being in here, and reading new ones and hope it would not be an addiction to me.

TKOP I hear ya... well except the smog, divorce, and visitation (don't know what that is). But I am married, kid, etc etc... sometimes I am jealous of this guy who hangs at a micro-brewery I frequent who has a dog... and that's it as far as others to be responsible for. He leaves the bar much later than I do...
