I can stop counting...I'll stop in three minutes...two minutes, fifty-five seconds...

I've come to the conclusion I spend WAY too much time on the 'puter. Why? Well, last night as I was eating dinner, I was suddenly struck by the urge to check email, so I dropped my fork and ran for the keyboard.

And even as I did it, I thought - what the fuck?

So I have resolved to stop spending so much time online. I KNOW that I have an obsessive-complusive personality, and it is not going to be fun to wean myself away from the computer while battling anxiety attacks because I HAVE to check my email, yes I HAVE to... Nevertheless, I'm going to do it.

Yes, I am. When I get off the computer this time.

Yes. Yes I am.

....must....check............email...

i obsessively check my email.. just ask [livejournal.com profile] kshatri over there, she can tell you how bad i am about that. it's scary. but i'm comfortable with my addiction. hee.

(and, in a cruel twist of irony, do you have lj comments sent to you via email?! :P)

Yes, I do...that's part of the problem. :)

But I would hate to miss something.

ya know
if you have an msn or hotmail account, having messenger it automatically tells you when you get a message, so you don't need to check on it every 5 minutes.

and if you have trillian watching it it tells you the subject and who the message is from, i often just let my email pile up until something relevant comes in
