ever since the beginning of my 2 week holiday, well actually, every holiday... & every other opportunity, i log in.
and whenever i log in, i swear, i try to keep a 4 hour limit, but its just too friggin' hard to commit to that.
4 hours is nothing compared to how long i keep up all that lurking. sometimes it can span from 4 to
an impossible sum of hours (2 embarrased to tell you.) &
i know that some of you- or most of you judging by your astronomical post counts, can relate to me alot.

so...
right now, after i finish this post, i'm going to give myself a kerfew by installing a timer that will autimatically
shut down my comp after i reach my 2 hour limit, reducing the time (except for studying time)
i waste online.

so my reason for posting is all this bcs i know my i can't let this stupid, stupid obsession keep me from doing
the other things i like, and its my responsibilty to nip the problem in the bud... or something like
that.

to all of you with postive/non-judgemental opinions, thanks sooo much for reading
my otherwise tl;dr post!
& useful advice is much appreciated! =]
