TESTIMONIAL (there is no hope for me!)

I don't jog, I blog.  Besides, there's an extra letter there, that should account for something!

I don't laugh, I  LOL!  Got to admit, its not as loud or annoying!

I don't talk, I type.  Its faster, and nobody makes fun of my pronounciation, just my spelling.

I don't window shop, I surf.  I don't get tired, and there are no obnoxious sales people shadowing me like a lost puppy.

I don't mingle, I chat!  And if I don't like someone, I ignore!

I don't have a street address, I have a web address.  Its not rural, it URL.

I don't have a first name, just a screen name.  I don't remember my last name, does it end with .com?

I have more passwords than James Bond, and I have more email accounts than Bill Gates.  Who needs a car to drive when you have a 40 GB hard drive?

My name is Dorn, and I am a blogging addict.

JUST CLICK HERE!

I was in a chatroom earlier with several other bloggers, talking about the day and the weather... and someone popped in, a spammer, with a message "For Instant Sexual Stress Relief Click Here".  Well, I clicked and I clicked and nothing! No sexual stress relieve.  It was suggested that maybe I had broken the clicker on my mouse, but now I'm wondering, was I supposed to be sitting on the mouse when I was clicking?

Morning routine

I just got out of the shower and I should be fixing my hair, but instead I'm sitting at the computer reading up on my favorite journals.  No doubt I will be rushing out of the house with my hair still down, barely squeeking in to work to beat the time clock.  Thats okay, folks at work actually like when I leave my hair down and suggest that I wear it down more often.  Okay.  Not a problem.  That means I can spend a little more time on the computer without feeling guilty.  After all, they WANT me to let my hair loose.  And you know me, always happy to oblige.  Life should always be this accomodating.

BUSTED! (another child born with the addiction)

I was on my computer checking my bank balance (really.... I wasn't surfing, or blogging or anything like that...) when I happened to glance at my buddy list.  Now normally I don't keep my list on... not so much that I don't want to talk to anyone... but so nobody will know much time I actually do spend online... but that day, for what ever reason I had the privacy block off.  And there was my son's screen name indicating that he was online.  Which was pretty interesting since he was restricted from using the computer for being on earlier when he wasn't supposed to be on! 

Sooooo, I shoot an instant message his way.  It says:  Hey buddy, aren't you grounded? 

There was a pause, and he writes back:  Maybe

Then right on cue his screen name disappears.  When I got upstairs he was innocently watching 'Blue Collar TV', but he was busted and he knew it.  Add one more day to the term buster!

(And you too Sammie, cos I saw you LOL'ing when you were supposed to be online!)

THE CHILDREN OF BLOGGING ADDICTS

I was driving my children to the store the other day and one of the kids cracked a joke, which is common in our household.  My oldest daughter immediately showed her appreciation by yelling out 'LOL, LOL, LOL'.  Seriously folks, she didn't laugh or giggle, she actually spelled out the letters 'LOL, LOL, LOL'!  I immediately put her on computer restriction!
