CONFESS! Do you have such a DU addiction that even when you are not here
you think about being here? Or worse still, do you have imaginary DU conversations in your head and post threads and read the replies in your mind?

1. I have an almost crippling fear that I'm being talked about.

10. I often dream in posts
Reply back and forth with various DUers. I wake up wondering if I really had that conversation.

I've also caught myself saying the letters W-T-F instead of what they stand for.

13. Yes, I often have the weird "Did I really say that or just dream it?" ex-
perience, and not just with DU. I have a habit of confusing thinking about doing something with the actual act. (Yes, I am a woman, who, if she actually ironed clothes, would fret about whether she really turned it off or if she had just thought about it.)

19. I have to say that it doesn't just apply to DU for me either
I was anxiously awaiting news on a job, had my cell phone by the bed. I was sick, so I was sleeping half the day. I dreamed that they called me and told me that I didn't get it, then I called several people to let them know I didn't get it. When I woke up, I had to check the call logs on my phone to see if it had really happened. None of it had, of course.

No, I didn't get the job in reality, but I was at work the day they called my cell to tell me.

12. When I'm not here, I find myself thinking ... "Ooo - that would be a
great thread topic." And, usually they're not that great ... especially when I actually post one.

14. I dream in threads sometimes.
I don't think about DU VERY much when I'm away from the computer, unless something I want to post pops into my head, then I kind of store it away until I get back to my computer.

15. I live in the bustling town of DU, population ~ 67000.
I moved here late last year as an internet refugee. Since then I spend about 60% of all my freetime visiting friends here.

DU is in many ways on my mind constantly.

32. Who, Grimace?
Grimace is my lover. He just sits around drinking milkshakes and bathing in the blood of the innocent while I crush my enemies.

23. When I go to newspaper sites
I look for the reply button on their articles. It is very unsatisfying that they don't have one.

28. i do have a place in my social brain network (?)
for my buddies here and for DU in general... kind of like the online coffee klatch connection... I don't dream about threads though, although I do catch myself laughing about something someone here said, and then I have to explain at great length to my husband what it was and who said it. And then he rolls his eyes... ;)

29. You know you're here too much when you are having conversations
with folks and you include in your conversation shorthand words like "DU", but the other folks say "what is DU?"

I think about or converse with a handful of people I'm closer with, but that's about it. :shrug:
