Greekchat-aholics....you know you're addicted when...

[justabeachbrat]

When your cat shares GC addiction. Now, when I'm on the sofa, she plants herself partly on my lap and the rest of her on the edge of the laptop. As I scroll and read, she follows along most of the time. When I tried to move her off my lap, so I could shut the laptop down for the night, she bit me. I guess she had posts to read. I have a feline addicted to GC.

haha..I do the same thing. I'm always telling my mom about things I've seen people post/say on GC. My mom says I spend too much time on it...she calls it my addiction. Last week I went to Florida and missed checking, so it was pretty much the first thing I did when I came home: turned on my computer and checked GC to see all the threads I missed.

When you refer to GC rather than the news/newspaper on current events!!

Me too! One of my friends refers to it as the Matrix.

Me: *Random bit of info*
Her: Where did you find out about that, the Matrix?

Looking at my join date and post #s already, yes, I think I need to admit I have a problem... I just read this whole thread (another indicator of my problem) and have a similar story to the poster who said she came on just to ask one question, but then got hooked.

I had one question about a song a couple of sisters and I have always debated about and could never find, my friend's daughter (in another glo) told her about this site so I volunteered to look it up and ask the question. And what do you know, I got the answer (I think from OTW, in fact ) none of us had ever been able to find in no time!

It was in September, must have been at peak rush season, because I remember reading terms I'd never heard before like "helicopter mom" and had no idea at the time what a "troll" or "sockpuppet" was or why on earth anyone would be one. And I distinctly remember the thread was started or was going on that ended up with everyone posting pictures of Barbies and Care Bears "composites" and on their "Bid Days" (started by cuteASAbug, I think?), and that's what hooked me. That was the funniest thing I'd ever read and I instantly liked ("virtually") many of the posters in that thread.

And, I guess it spiraled out of control from there, here I am already over 1,000 posts. I never really understood the stories about people getting "addicted to the internet." Noooooow I think I understand.

I don't post as much as I did when I was new on here, and that's because of school. I do keep it open while I'm studying though. lol

ETA: OTW, this is a great bump.
