internet junkie!! God damn.....I am constantly checking email, searching around etc, etc.

There is nothing to do while I'm sitting on my ass, so I surf the net. Now I'm completely addicted. It's so bad, one of the first things I do when I get home is turn on my computer (mostly for music) but still.....according to the DSM IV - I have an addiction to the internet....

Shit, I feel more pathetic then Spliff....

Dont' worry Darkness I'm in the same boat and I think the addiction is manageable. A good week or two in the boonies will cure it.

I think living, in general, can turn you into an internet junkie. lol. Welcome to the club of addicts. At least it isn't illegal. Imagine the Underground Internet b/c of too many addicts.

It comes and goes. I can go without the internet, but lately I've been too tired to go out so I just go on the internet all the time. I kind of like it.

I was very disappointed in your "OP" after reading the thread title. I was expected something a lot more interesting or controversal. Such as, "Korea turned me into a racist/alcoholic/or a person with trust issues.

I had that when I first came to korea... but once I got settled it wasn't an issue... just get a ... ahem... life.

not to be blunt. but you have to do the work here.
Find friends. go out. do something.
I kill time with guitar, reading, writing, working out, and of course boozing.

As addicted as I am to the internet... I find when I take off for a weekend / week, I don't miss it that much. It's great and all, but it's not going anywhere.

Well first to dissappoint with the thread, lol. You think I dissappointed you in this thread, you should let me sleep with you...talk about dissappointment!

It's true when I go away on weekends, I couldn't care less about it. But if the computer is there, I turn it on...no different then the tv I suppose.

I do read, and I work out everyday. But I mean, sometimes I just feel like I waste too much time on here. I read while at work, instead of surfing, but I feel as long as I'm on the computer it looks like I'm doing work. Although all my co-teachers sleep, so wtf.....

I just thought I'd see what others had to say about it. While I was at home, I was an internet junkie as well.

Oh man, can you imagine if the net was illegal...."come on man, i'll suck your dick for a megabyte!!!"

Heres an interesting article I came across yesterday:

Is Google Making Us Stupid?

I agree with that article, I feel like the more I'm "plugged in" the worse my anxiety is. If I stay off the computer for a day or two, I'm calmer and can concentrate longer......

.....what was I talking about?
