4. No, not alone at all.
I am addicted to reading threads, everyday, even while at work.

9. One day
I was at this party see, and someone hands me a discussion. Just a small one, on a light and frothy topic so I tried it. Then I had another and another. They get longer and more serious as I go along. Pretty soon, I'm posting myself, ignoring the need for food and bathroom, refreshing the page until my eyes blur, typing unil my fingers get bloody, even looking at the 'nosepickers' and 'basket weaving' forums for new material to read. My name is Juno and I am an addict....

All because of one little discussion....

11. I just feel traumatized
and it helps to read through the rest of your thoughts and comments (makes me not feel so alone). My friends are watching the football game without a care in the world. But I seriously haven't felt this freaked out since the tragedy of 9-11 (among other things in my short little life).

I feel like our nation is teetering on a knife edge right now.
