How do you justify your GC Addiction???

So I know all you 400+ posters are on this all the time, so what do you tell co-workers, roomates, friends/family when they ask, "What the hell is that purple web-site you are always on?"

I just say, email, cause its generally not worth the hassle to explain.

What do you say.

Or should we call this thread, "Explinations for the outsiders" lol.

I find myself having to explain to my independent friends... they say, "You mean that there's an entire message board that's just about Greek life?" Yeah, more or less. I've used the email line many a time. But my favourite rationalization is that the "Random" thread is the only thing that keeps me sane at work... and it's a great place to cyber-flirt with cute guys. At least, they type adorably. Right Optimist?

I just tell whoever that I am "posting messages on a message board." When I am on the computer, a friend of mine always asks, "Are you posting??" My response, "Of course I am posting."

ps - Andy, I passed you up!

I tell them I am bored and its the best place on the net. Usually I do my posting at work. I do it home when I am not busy and there is nothing on tv or at the movies.

I often hear, "Tanya, are you bothering those people on that website again?"

I say "No, I'm sending an email."

Tanya, you crack me up!

I tell people, "I'll be there in a minute!" and then erase the history. I am totally a GC junkie.

I'm with DeltaAlum... No one asks me!

My girlfriend sometimes makes fun of it. That's about it though.

I only work with three other people and my computer screen isn't facing out so they can't see what I'm doing.

I don't get on GC at work and I live by myself. So I pretty much don't have to tell anybody anything!
