Help! I've been kidnapped by the internet!

What a nice way to put it! I have ever been kidnapped and was lucky to gain my freedom when I suddenly lost the privilege to access the internet. Since then, I have been wary of being kidnapped.

I am tooo!! help me! I've been kidnapped by mylot, here! Help! I don't know how long i've been sitting here. its a bad habbit but it's fun! Actually i have to go to the bathroom. But i still have to comment back to all my responses and visit their discusions, and i ow them so much and i rumming out of time. I still have to upload some picture.. busy, busy, bathroom, busy... type..LOL

no spend most of my time here and answering emails

Oh good, you've been kidnaped too? We can be captives together! I've been off the internet for a lot of the time in the past couple of weeks, but in the past few days I seem to have come back full force!

I think I spend every free moment I have on the internet, I need help I am trapped by the internet. It pulls me close with the ability to find out things I never knew before, and it draws me in some money. I am the friend of the internet.

Yes, I definetely do. I have been using internet for about 9 years now, and I can't do anything without internet after all. Before I met internet, I was really interested in computers and internet was one of the things that I wanted at home. I was too young to buy the things by myself as you can guess, but after all my father decided to have it. during those days, dial-up connection was very popular in my country. I mean, broadband connections was not available, even if they were they were for professionals like internetaional companies etc, nobody else were able to pay for that kind of services. Dial up connection was not a cheap one really, but really had a very bad performance. I used to connect to the internet at 28.8 Kbaud and it was very low, as you can guess I had a lot of problems when it came to downloading some files, and of course: it was simply impossible to download very large files (about 300 mb) even 100mb files took hours to download! Additionally, we used to pay for every second we were connected to the internet those days. If you use dial up here, it is still same (but it is not used as widely as it used to be). So, it was a total mess: pay much, and get low. those days my parents limited my connection to 1 hour everyday. I can't understand how I used to achieve that. It is simply very impossible for me now. However, even that limitation didn't stop me. I used to write down everything I was going to do when I get online that day, and tried to do many stuff in my limited time. But still, the phone bills were too high and my father was complaining about it all the time. A few years later, adsl came up and when we heard that opportunity, we were one of the first people who joined that service. I mean, it was up for a few years when we joined but it was a little more expensive. After all, they put a quota at 3gb and the prize was about 25$. It was really cheaper than dial up and we applied. After that time, my real addiction started. I started being online whole day, I don't shut down my computer when I am at home. I doN't shut down when I am eating, doing something else,playing guitar etc. because I know I will go back to my pc when it is over. I am online whenever I am at home after all! After a few months, the quota also started annoying us because as the technology improved, the sties and the files got bigger. We had a problem about exceeding the quote for a few hundred megabytes and paid extra for that. At last, we had the unlimited connection at home. Paying 10$more for that service but it is really much better to know you will never exceed your quota. The only problem was the connection speed. It was only 256kbps. but a few months later the telecommunication country heard all the customers' complaints and improved it to 1024kbps. I am quiet happy with my internet connection now. Happy mylotting flowerchilde :)

At work I do because I don't have anything else to do. I work 6 hour days and almost all of it is online goofing off

Lately, I've been spending a lot of time here. But, I found out that they are pretty much cutting the number of positions in my classification by half, so I'm at very serious risk of losing my job, or getting my hours cut way down. So, I've been looking at other ways to make money or I'm looking to change my career. So, I've been here longer than I usually am.

I spend way too much time on the internet! I just can't help myself. Its like it calls to me as soon as I get up lol. for example, right now I should be cleaning my butt off because i'm having a party lite party tonight. but instead i'm sitting on mylot lol. oh well i'll get it done before the party somehow.
