It's sad when some of these are true, n'est ce pas?

Your phone bill comes to your doorstep in a box.

It is a hefty tome alright...

You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and stop and check your e-mail on the way back to bed.

Done that.

You start using smileys in your snail mail.

Done that.

The last girl you picked up was a JPEG.

Actually she was an MPEG, but...

You have to get a 2nd job to pay your phone bill.

Change "2nd" to "real" and you got it.

Your gravestone will have a quit message instead of RIP.

Cool!

There is absolutely no interesting conversation in any of the rooms on mirc, but you stay on just in case you miss something.

To be fair, I used to do that on the CB too.

You can now type over 70 wpm.

Not 70WPM, but not bad...

You spend at least 30 minutes making sure everyone says goodbye to you.

I HATE that!

You read the idea about replacing your chair with a toilet and try to do it.

Hmmm. I'd prefer one of those space shuttle suction jobbies. A twofor.

You join a help channel and end up answering the questions instead of asking the question that you needed answering.

Did that on forums.

You set your kitchen on fire while cooking dinner because you wanted to see if you had any mail and while you were there you just wanted to "see who's on".

Your service provider calls *you* for technical support.

Close...

You once devoted your weekend to "work on your popups".

You have over 2Gb of wave files ("2 Gb, is that all!?!")

Over a gig of MP3's and several CD's of pr0n?

You have to get a 2nd phone line so you can ring 'Pizza Hut'.

Second phone line to run my business?

You begin to say hehehehehe instead of laughing.

I tend to "heh" more now.

You dream in HTML.

Gods, what a geek!
