Addicted. What the ?
Thursday, October 20, 2005 by Sleeping Dragon | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
This forum was down for a while this morning and I found myself acutally getting a bit down about it. This is like a bad mojo. Frogboy is like my dealer. I'm a damn WC addict and I'm really ok about it.

Hi, my name is rabidrobot.
CHOURUS: Hi, rabidrobot!
At first I started out with the kid stuff, you know, experimenting. Beatnik, rainlender..kid stuff. It wasn't long, though, before I moved on to the harder stuff. Now, it seems, there is never enough. I check galleries everyday for new stuff--some galleries more than once. I check the forum front page and read the threads with subject lines that look interesting. Then I'll read the ones with uninformative topics (e.g. "PLEASE HELP!!1!"). Aw, who am I kidding. I'll read any new post. I lose sleep over skins and widgets. Think about them when I should be...well, thinking about other things.
And, the hardest part, the toughest to admit...I don't want to change....

If anyone saw me looking at WC while I was at work I'd be reported to the IT department...
...oh wait a minute, I am the IT department...

I have a printed paper with the latest "Wincustomize News" as a blanket when I go to bed.

I'm into the monkey-lizard myself.
I went through withdrawl yesterday and I only have a couple minutes this morning to get a quick fix....then hopefully I can last until this evening.

It only took a few short months and I'm an admin at a skinning community and a skinner. I used to think I spent alot of time on a computer now I can't spend enough, if I'm not wokring I'm playing with my latest skin idea or reconfiguring its look. I need help too.

I believe it has been established that we all prefer this life to any other!
Is that good or bad?
It's safer and sometimes way more fun....
My questions: It this it? I guess It's not a bad place,
ALL MY FRIENDS ARE HERE, WELL MOST!

i don't like to think of this place as an addiction! sounds kind of dirty to me. i would rather call it a past time.
yes i spend so much time here it's..
past time to go to work
past time to go to lunch
past time to go home
past time to eat supper
past time to go to bed
some times its even past time to answer the telephone or door bell

yeh, BoXXi, do you build up a tolerance, or is it the same each time? Checking every hour (or more often) to know the number of downloads. A taste in your throat as you load the page with a new comment? Silent discouragement from a low rating turning into resolve to "show them" with the next upload? Does all that go away after a few dozen dozen uploads?

Well it happened. A crash. Hardly able to keep my eyes open. I went to bed. 11 HOURS later I woke up. I guess I needed it. Now I have to do some speed reading to get caught up.

I did a similar thing last night, went to bed and didn't get up until 14 hours later. I obviously needed it as well, haven't been sleeping too well recently, with just an hour or so here and there.....until then.
Stimulants? Who needs stimulants? Not when you've got WC and Object Desktop
Then, when endless hours of WC become lullaby-like.....who needs sleeping pills.
