Hehe...

This same sort of thing happened to me

I would find myself spending all my time either on CD or our team's forums.

As I saw my life begin to vanish, I felt that I really needed to do something

I began to set "no computer times"... I wouldn't allow myself on the computer. Either I'd have to do homework or at least some other way to kill my time.

I still sometimes have this "craveing" to check the web. I still don't know how I'm going to survive this summer when I'm going to be away from the net for a weeks at a time. Ahhh... The Horror

Finals are over...
We'll see how the grades turn out but... I managed to take my first FIRST step back.

Now, with Brandon's permission, I can post again.
It feels good to be back... a little too good.

Did you get one of those Tingle feelings, or was more like there was a party in your mouth and everyone was invited

I'd just like to point out that I was only doing what John asked. I did not ban him pro-actively. He asked, presented a reason, and I did him a favor. Don't want people thinking that I did it without him knowing about it.

Oh... we never doubted you, Brandon. I guessed that was how it went, anyways.

And John, welcome back!

Of course I asked!
Thanks again Brandon.

I hope no one got the impression that Brandon just bans people for being on too much... I mean, if that were the case who'd be next?

Ahh, if all messageboards did that for a week THINK of what the world could get done! Insane, caffeine inebriated forum ex-addicts would wander the streets, clutching stained Starbucks containers close to their shivering bodies, with nothing to do but actually get something done!

Real work...the horror...THE HORROR!

Why do I get the feeling I'm up high on the chopping-block. Especially after the super-long quote list, the High Priest thing, terrorizing people with their mascots, me still being teamless, among other things.

I might need one of those vacations after this... ...

I've been counting down the minutes until The Matrix: Reloaded comes out and the theater opens it door, ops, lines moving (laptop folds up)(walking)(laptop unfolds), and I'm back!

29 minutes 15 seconds and (checks DOS) 27 parsecs.
...26 parsecs...
...25 parsecs...
Oh forget it, 28 minutes.

(gets tired and runs out of threads.)
Well, I'm logging off at 27 minutes, 42 seconds, 2 parsecs
1 parsec...
