I have become a DU addict

[American liberal]

In the weeks leading up to the election, I was checking in daily...reading, reading...LOVING LBN 'cause you guys monitor the Web and post what's hot so FAST! Then I started posting here and there in Election 2004. Rarely got replies, but at least I had an outlet.

Then in the days before the election, I was spending more and more time here. Couldn't help myself. Clicking between LBN, Campaign 2004 and, occasionally, GD. Loving the cast of characters and the spectrum of opinion (even the ones that pissed me off just because I knew we were all ultimately on the same team). And I posted some more and even pissed someone off--unintentionally, of course, but it was a first.

I should have been working on the peer-reviewed journal I was supposed to be editing for a client. Instead I was here...reading, clicking, posting, and reading some more. The homework for my financial management class was not getting done. Dishes were piling up in the sink... And still I was here--first thing in the morning. I HAD to know what had happened after I finally succumbed to oblivion. Then for hours that afternoon. I couldn't stop!

Now I still spend several times a day here. I marvel at those of you who ALWAYS seem to be here. How do they do it? And you're all so smart. and witty. and articulate. and brash. and crude. and passionate. I can't get enough of you all. :loveya:

I think I need help. The rest of my life is faltering. Maybe I should check into DU treatment or go to DU Anonymous meetings. :silly:

Nah... I'll get over it.
Truly I am grateful for these forums and for all of ya'll for helping me hold it together this past week.

Peace,
AL
