Signs…

Signs you’re spending too much time with your computer and not enough in the real world:

  • Friends without MSN Messenger, Skype or e-mail are woefully neglected
  • You’d sooner call someone in Australia on Skype because it’s cool and free than you would someone up the road with a normal phone
  • You never quite get over the thrill of getting a new e-mail
  • You IM someone in the same house to tell them tea’s ready
  • Most songs that get played on your computer never make it past half a second, because you’ve heard them all and you can’t concentrate long enough to listen to a whole one anyway
  • New software updates are even more exciting than new e-mails
  • You have at least ten Firefox extensions you wouldn’t be without now
  • You know enough keyboard shortcuts to look scarily like you know what you’re doing to a normal person
  • All of the letters have worn off your keyboard but you can still type without any problems
  • You lose entire hours procrastinating
  • If you get pissed off enough about something you don’t phone someone up or even stand in front of them and shout at them, you damn well blog about it
  • Flickr_newcomments on Flickr are yet another daily highlight
  • Your concentration becomes so bad that you end up chatting on MSN while sending an e-mail at the same time as looking for the latest popular pages on del.icio.us, listening to Pandora, writing your blog, and watching the TV with the sound turned down.
