Hi...My name is Sandman....and I am an EO addict.

Now you say "Hello Sandman".

Alright, here's how it is. As hard as it is to admit it, I do hereby concede that I am addicted to the internet in general and EO specifically. I spend as many as 6 hours here every day, and it's wrecking havoc on my work, creating lack of sleep, late work, extreme procrastination, heightened stress, and general unpleasantness. [Yes, this is why I've been in a bad mood lately, you might have noticed that].

Therefore, I am going to make a conscious effort to stop *urg...!*....limit....*urg!*...not post as much. This is very hard on me [I have been trying to post this for three weeks.]

Trust me, this is the only way.

*Takes deep breath, and eventually pushes 'post' button after struggling for half an hour*

p.s. For those of you wondering why I posted this, it's because by doing so, I have made a promise to the community, which will make me try harder to keep it. So....

its ok sandman, we feel your pain.  And if it makes you feel any better, I'm horribly addicted to coffee.  On sunday, i drank 3 quarts, roughly 3 litres.  Just coffee after coffee after coffee.  The sad part is, is that it doesn't even affect me anymore.  I get horrible withdrawals (thing migrane from hell) without my caffeine, but with it, well, i'm just normal.  I havn't gotten jittery since i took 6 shots of espresso in a row back in april.  Now, i'm not sure that would do more than make me slightly less comatose during my english class...

its in the off-topic forum!!  It doesn't have to have a point!!

One could say that the point of this thread is completly pointless, of course, that would prevent it from being a point, as something cannot not be itself, so, therefore, because the point of this thread is pointless, and thats the whole pointless point, the world is going to end in 10 years, and thats the point i'm trying to make here.

Love the logic there... ;D

Hello Sandman.

My name's Shady. Or that's what you can call me.

I was like you once, well, not quite as bad, but I spent waaay too much time on the net. Then my comp crashed and burned, and i was without the net for a week. I died, of course. When I woke up again, I found out that I actually could live without it... In fact I was no longer addicted the way I had been.

The last few days however, I've had sonething of a rebound, and posted quite a lot. ;D

Anyway, try doing something radical (like uninstalling IE and/or Netscape and give all your cd's with it to a friend, with the strict orders not to give it back to you in a week. Or lock them up somewhere. Or something.)
Anyway, try to stay away from the net for a while... And I mean stay AWAY. NO checking email, (unless it's school/work and you expect it) NO chatting, NO surfing, etc.

Good luck.
Please note that the author of this post doesn't take responsibility for any of the above. Or anything else, for that matter.

Sometimes you just feel tired, feel weak
And when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up
But you gotta search within you, try to find that inner strength, and just pull that amphetamine parrot out of you
And get that motivation to not give up, and not be a quitter
No matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face, and collapse

A spam contest.

Between you, Bloody Moon, and I think one other. Something about a race to get to Phoenix Lord. I think you won. I remember the Staff branding you guys as 'Spamming Mon Keigh". Are you telling me you don't remember?

I'd like to know how one could fill that time.  what's all that interesting.  I've been down this road before though, but computers are so repulsive to me, it's always something worse...  Shady is right: as with any compulsion, it's got to be all or nothing.

The other one was Aulan C'Nesha, who "won"... and then he disappeared (was he banned, or did he quit, or what?), and came back as his current, more controlled, incarnation, currently named Warboss Baddoom.
