I am slowly coming to the realization that I may have a slightly addictive personality. Why is that, you say? Well when I finally joined the Blogger World I spent a ridiculous amount of time clicking from page to page trying to find out what everyone was up to and coming across old friends. It was great! But a few days in I realized that I was spending hours, yes literally hours a day doing this. This was made worse by the fact that I was skipping actual homework to do cruise people's blogs...which by the way resulted in my first C since I began school (technically it was a C+, but that still doesn't really make me feel any better). I finally got a grip on myself (or rather I read all that there was to read) and took a step back from my blog stalking. Right when I am getting back on track, I sign up for Facebook. At first I did it just so that I could see another friend's pictures they posted. Then I thought I should add a picture of my own, but that's it. Next thing I know I started to get all of these friend requests from people who found me through the search feature. I never really had any intentions of getting into Facebook but I reasoned that it would be rude not to accept an invitation, right? It all snowballed from there. I got my first piece of flair (thanks Molly!) and became incredibly amused by all of the flair options there are. I would flip through the pages just laughing at some of them and next thing I knew, I had been doing it for an hour! I really thought I had it under control until someone sent me an invitation to an Alias trivia game. I tried it out and of course quickly rose to Ace level. I then find out that they have trivia for Friends, Sex and the City and The Sopranos. Ever since then I have been answering trivia for my favorite TV shows and feeling completely fulfilled in doing so. Addictive much? Yes, I think so! So instead of showing up at work and earning the paycheck they give me, I am holed up in my office playing the Alias trivia game on Facebook and feeling absolutely (well almost absolutely) no shame about it. I barely switch from the screen when someone walks into my office! I think that I need an intervention, but not until tomorrow...I am only 270 points away from the next level! :) Oh how pathetic!!

You make me laugh so hard. I just love you. I have never heard of a Facebook so I will have to check it out. I totally understand were you are coming from on the addiction part. I am afraid I am addicted to. You are not the only one. We love you and hope all is going well.
Addicted...welcome to normal people world. That is our intervention. Just keep saying it is normal and keep blogging these entries of yours. They are great! Gelatinous chunck of mucus...wait sorry Lindsay was talking to me and the fingers just took over the keyboard. Grossed me out too. Keep sending me stuff on myspace because if you quit I have no reason to get on anymore.
You are the best! I am so glad I am not the only one that is addicted. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. Does our hotel in LA have wi-fi, because if it does I can imagine that we will not be sight seeing, but instead searching facebooks and blogs all day. lol :)
