It means you're a real person as opposed to one of these robots with
their "work ethics" and their "self restraint". You've got most of a
month. I've got stuff to hand in to college in, oh, three hours.
Dribbling your life away on the Internet is the place to be.

I'm supposed to be writing a column about indigenous Australian
sex traditions, and an essay on modernism in literature, but I keep
wandering back here between paragraphs. Mind, I do still tend to get the
work done when I approach it this way; it just means I'll be working at
stupid hours to meet deadlines, leaving less time for other important
things like sex and beer. :\
> Does this mean I'm an addict? ;)
Because you're choosing something over work? I guess that
depends... how passionately do you feel about your work otherwise? Are
there other things more important?
Can you spend a day without a.g.?
Do you have cravings for a.g. when you're away from it?
Do you continue to post to a.g. even when it makes you feel ill?

Hey the very fact that you are even thinking about your exam one month
in advance impresses the hell out of me.

Not until you make the top 10 weekly posters list 3 month running, and
at least 30% of those with more than 100 posts.

Do you post to a.g. to help you sleep?
Do you feel guilty about posting to a.g.? Has posting caused you
problems with family, work, money, or the law?
Do you hide a.g. around the house?

I quit just about every day. Sometimes two or three times.

Fuzzy beer or not fuzzy beer?
Writing essays are more fun than reading statistics and method,
though... At least I like that more. However, I did manage to get
myself to the classification lecture, which was very boring. The
lecturer explaned something that wasn't really that hard to understand
in a way that made it hard to understand. Fortunately, I jusst looked
at the examples and understood the point. I have no idea how she could
be talking about it for more than an hour...

Ah, yes... There are, like "Literature and use", that I skiped this
morning to read a.g.

I _can_.

It happens, yes.
> Do you continue to post to a.g. even when it makes you feel ill?
It hasn't made me feel ill so far, so I can't answer that question.

A dance mate of mine has an exam tomorrow, and she didn't even know
where she was going to have it! So, I guess I'm not _that_ bad.

Oh, but I need to read! And do more statistics! And take notes! And...
and... *sigh*

OK, if you say so, I believe it's true. I don't write all that much.
There are even times I don't really write anything at all, as you
might have noticed. And today I have written more than any time
before, methinks.

On the edge of dying from a.g. addiction?
I know I'm not an addict, I just keep reading it instead of doing
things I rather should do... :/

That happened to me for my first exam at university. They told us
that the exam was in room VV. Now the campus is rather big, and it
has lots of buildings with lots of rooms. The day before we finaly
got someone to tell us what building it was in. Some of us girls
decided to meet up early to try to locate the actual room. That was
the day we went back to winter time, and no one told me, so I showed
up an hour earlier than that.

*grins* Well, you may be an addict, but you're certainly not alone in
your addiction. I'm supposed to be writing a 10 page paper on Modern
Society's Dependence on Oil (shoot me now), rough draft due Thursday,
aproximately 1 page done at the moment. And what am I doing? Reading
a.g. Go figure. Have fun procrastinating, and good luck.

Now, that sucks. But, you had an exam on a Sunday? Or did you manage
to go around all Sunday without knowing the right time?

Oh dear me. Imagine - you could have slept for an extra hour! That's
the only thing I like about going back to winter time, the extra hour
of sleep in the morning.

maybe you're just a good procrastinator. That's always what I think of when
I read any of my groups; what else more constructive could I be doing right
now? and the answer is, everything. But this group, whether or not I respond
to ANYTHING in a given week or month, puts me in touch with things I can't
have IRL. hundreds of other folks, just like me, hulking over their
computers.

Maybe. I'm just trying to figure out if I can overdose on a.g.

Well, this is an approach to step #1 of the AG 12 Step program....
admission of the problem. The Irony is, admitting it involves posting.
Nice and neat circle. Heh.
I fixed mine by being in a string of bizzare relationships to the
point where I had not the energy, time, or inclination to post to AG.
Drastic but it works. And hell, can you really OD on AG?

Wasn't at least one of those with somebody you met on a.g..?

The main one with Roni. As much as we love each other, we were very
bad for each other at that time. My own overwhelmin arrogance and
conceit led me to think I could juggle being both lover and therapist.
Wow. When I fuck up, I go LARGE, ya know?

That's likely true. Three and a bit years of use tend to inure the immune
system to just about anything. Well, provided that you're healthy to start
with, which begs the question as to what kind of person considers using
alt.gothic, which is a topic that has been considered before.
