internet addiction??

[zerocomm]

im pretty sure ive been addicted to the internet since 6th grade. with me, its not necessarily the act of being on the internet that im addicted to, its knowing that i'm connected. for example, i can be at my house, not get on the internet all day, but just knowing it is connected is enough to keep me calm. but if we have an outage, like my cable modem had yesterday, i flip out. i get all tense and depressed and i don't want to do anything. i know what everyone is going to say, get a life, --- but i have plenty of friends and a girlfriend too. they dont seem to help. i cant wait until i can get a connection in my skull.

I guess I get mad, but I don't flip out, and I would never want an internet connection in my skull. I'd never want anything in my skull. Chill out on the internet.
