    I haven't been spending as much time online recently as I have in the past.

    But um, I know some really really astoundingly successful people (like, self-made millionaires) who spend a butt load of time online, blogging and visiting forums. And I'm talking about people who are in professional fields outside of the whole computer/internet realm.

    As for this very minute, I should probably be sleeping rather than having Top Model marathon. But I just can't help it. MUST KNOW WHO WINS!

    And while Miriel is watching that, I can finally take my chanced at Del.

    I knew bribing then to show it now would work out for me.

    I spend a lot of time on the internet, but I manage my time well. It’s a shame I wasn’t taught this skill before I finished school.

    I spent a lot of time online for two main reasons:

    1.) I've always had this thing where I get nervous around people in real life... but I still crave social interaction on occasion. It's much easier for me to talk to people online. (I think it has to do with my anxiety issues.)

    2.) I'm in an online relationship. My boyfriend is online. 'nuff said.

    I imagine that I will probably be spending considerably less time online once my boyfriend and I are together in meatspace... but I will still be online quite a bit to talk to friends and hang out on forums and stuff. (And Neopets. Shhh, don't tell anybody!)

    I've already been through this: I'm stuck in Bermuda with nothing but my amazing watch that has free unlimited internet access forever on it. Internet is all I can do.

    I still get plenty of important things done even though I use the internet a lot. It's not as if it's stopping me from doing anything really worthwhile.

    I spend too much time on the net. Ever since I got a laptop I spend an extra hour..or three on here.
    I should be sleeping now, but alas, I am here.
    The net provides friends and things to talk about, I dont have either IRL.

    I am on of an evening and that is the only time I can get away from the experiments they so dreadfully perform on me; my very being is being tested in ways I have yet to understand.
    I don't spend a lot of time on EoFF; merely a good half hour every other day in which I try to cram in everything that I used to do all day into.

    I'm not bored with life, but the outside world is over-rated anyway I just feel happy and comfortable spending time online especially when the only way I can speak to my best friend right now is online!! Generally when I do go out places are full of crappy people or noisy kids >_> So yeah, I admit I generally avoid the outside world Generally I get home from work quite late so just go on the net in the evenings too.... dunno, just become such a regular thing and it feels relaxing.

    Anyway when I DO go into the wide world for adventures, they are good ones

    I myself go on the internet just for entertainment and to keep intouch with friends. I guess I could be doing my homework about now but whatever. Besides right now I'm not bored with my life the outside world is over rated.

    Whoot! Good for you, kick ass my friend.

    Perhaps someday I'll join you but I would like to go to school and learn all I can first. After all, you can't change or do anything without knowlege. And there is much I would like to learn before I do anything.

    The whole idea of going out on an adventure ive got nothing against but don't create any illusions that its gonna be easy or that you'll change the world at all.
