on this ;-)
You know you're an E-mail Junkie when ...
22. You get a sudden illness the day after your modem dies.
21. You start tilting your head sideways to smile.
20. You tell the cab driver you live at
"http://1000.edison.garden/house/brick.html."
19. You move into a new house and decide to Netscape before you
landscape.
18. You don't know what sex three of your closest friends are, because
they have neutral
nicknames and you never bothered to ask.
17. Your phone bill comes to your doorstep in a box.
16. You check your mail. It says "no new messages." So you check it
again.
15. You can't call your mother...she doesn't have a modem.
14. Your cat has its own home page.
13. All of your friends have an @ in their names.
12. You start introducing yourself as "JohnDoe at CSi dot com."
11. You refer to going to the bathroom as downloading.
10. You find yourself typing "com" after every period when using a word
processor.com
9. Your hard drive crashes. You haven't logged in for two hours. You
start to twitch. You pick
up the phone and manually dial your ISP's access number. You try
to hum to
communicate with the modem... and you succeed.
8. You start using smileys in your snail mail. : )
7. You laugh at people with 14000-baud modems.
6. You decide to stay in college for an additional year or two, just
for the free Internet access.
5. You spend half of the plane trip with your laptop on your
lap....and your child in the
overhead compartment.
4. You turn off your modem and get this awful empty feeling, like you
just pulled the plug on
a loved one.
3. You name your child Dotcom.
2. You get a tattoo that reads "This body best viewed with Netscape
Navigator 3.0 or higher."
1. You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and stop to check your
e-mail on the way
back to bed.
