The Bottom Line Another fun write off...

1. Once you heard about epinions, did you join?

I don't remember, really, honestly. I believe I did join right away, wrote a few reviews and do to circumstances was gone for awhile. I came back a couple of months ago and going strong.

2. Once you joined, did the "wheels start turning" and the writer in you emerge?

That is one of the reasons I wanted to join in the first place. I always wanted to write but did not think I was a good enough writer (that self esteem thing again). When I received favorable comments I continued on.

3. Do you find yourself sleeping less?

Sleeping less? Well I don't know about that. My schedule keeps me going at such different times during the week its hard to keep track.

The best answer is that I don't believe that epinions has kept me from sleeping but then again I do have nights I can't sleep and get back on the computer...

4. Have you called in sick at work or quit your job altogether?

Well I have never called in sick to work but would love to quit if I could make enough money writing.

5. Is your house a mess?

Of course it is but then again I just moved a couple of months ago!!!

Actually as I get more settled in taken care of I realize that my house is staying cleaner that it ever has been. Now analyze that!

6. Have you developed PC spread? (your rear end is now hanging over the sides of your chair)

This can be a dangerous question. Suppose someone decides to file a lawsuit and blames epinions for their weight problem (I know, I know, I shouldn't give some people ideas).

Well, I am having to work harder to loose weight since I am spending more time in the chair and I used to be on my feet 8 hours a day. Of course I blame myself and will not take legal action. At least the swimming pool is only a few hundred feet from my apartment so I can get exercise swimming!

But then again that means I would have to leave the computer...

7. If you haven't quit your job, do you find yourself pretending to be working, but you are really reading and writing epinions?

Hey, what if the boss happens across this?? Of course I wouldn't do anything like that, I am a good little boy (see my halo being held up by the horns?)

8. Do you see signs that your spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/roommate has been there but you haven't really talked to them lately?

Is that the person that comes in every once in awhile to see if I am still alive?

9. Are TV dinners what's on the menu again tonight?

Hey, I cook a real meal at least once a week. Ok well...

10. Do you even get dressed anymore?

Well, there is always some stupid errand that has to run that forces me to get dressed. After all I wouldn't want to scare the normals after all I can be pretty scary looking...

If you found yourself shaking your heads in agreement to any of the above questions, the answer is yes you are addicted, me too, isn't it great?

Well, am I addicted to epinions? Is there any hope for me? Dr. Phil where are you??????
