Signs You've Been Spending Too Much Time On DU

[Arkana]

--You put out a hit contract on Skinner and EarlG because they didn't accept your moderator application.

--One of Matcom's Lounge News articles changed your life.

How else do you know you've been spending too much time here?

1. You start a thread...

...called "Signs You've Been Spending Too Much Time On DU."

to reevaluate my life. :P

6. You go on other message boards and think about alerting peoples' posts.

There's another one I go on where it seems weird that people get to troll and post flamebait much more often than here.

7. I do almost nothing else but hang out on DU.

The plus side is I've learned how to write 10 page term papers in 6 hours! :)

Of course, I would blow off work or class or friends for my DU Photography Group addiction--just to get that perfect picture for a competition. That's pretty hard core.

9. You get "tombstoned" by your employer.

[Guy Fawkes]

11. You think up things to post while not online.

I am a sad, sad man.

[Longgrain]

13. Easy...You and another DUer, of the opposite sex...

Start posting along side each other like crazy...

P.M.s Ensure!

Pictures come!

The rest is madness!

But it sure is a hell of a lot of fun! :-)

14. You see something....

in real life or something happens, and your first or second thought is "I have to post about this when I get home!" :D

[Left Is Write]

15. I don't know. I never felt like I was spending too much time here.

[wtmusic]

16. Ideas for threads pop into your mind during the day

easy now...step away from the computer desk...:P

[progmom]

18. You spend too much time trying to think of a clever response to Arkana...

...and temporarily forget about the chicken that you are, by now, burning on the grill. When you present it to your husband as *ta-da* blackened chicken, he says: "more like DU chicken".

That's when you know you have been spending too much time on DU. :cry:

21. You vow to shut down the computer at 11:00 but then allow

yourself a half an hour longer. When you wake up at a quarter to midnight, you finally shut 'er down.
