Just Bleedin' On Through...
« on: January 24, 2004, 06:07:15 PM »

Does all your time spent on with computers ever push into real life?  That's been happening to me a lot in the past few weeks.

  I look in the bottom right-hand corner of a book expecting to see the time, try to copy and paste numbers into my telephone, etc.  

Just the other day my dad tried to wake me up from a nap to eat dinner.  I told him, in my half-asleep dazed state, "Maybe I'll eat it later.  Did you save it in the Favorites list?".  Does anything like the above ever happen to you?

Yes, especially with phones. I can also barely write with a pen now because i type so much. And there isnt a backspace key.

I have also found myself writing LOL, and so forth in everything now. I have caught myself saying it too. Then again, I get confused when I am running Linux on my machine and it doesnt crash every 15 minutes.

Agreed re: not being able to write properly because I type so much.

Other than that, pronouncing Canada as "Canadia" is the only thing that spills into real life. I think.

I just can't talk anymore. I write and type fine, but when it comes to talking, such as pronouns, man! Typing on the computer is so much easier than using a pen and paper simply because there is the backspace key, you can add things at will where ever you want to, and you can make multiple copies with little or no hassle.

I often find myself wanting to click "undo".  But there's no button for that in real life.

I wish my text books came with a Ctrl + F feature. I wouldn't mind going to school if they had them. Alright, maybe I would still mind. Now, if there was some sort of block or ban feature in school... now you're talking.

LOL when I was in school at my desk I use to put my hands on the desks in typing position and type what I was thinking or hearing.

I also use to think "LOL" when I laughed, I almost said it a few times. No wait, I still do that.

A shot a monitor with a shotgun out of frustration. Does that count?

I wante to spice up my sexlife so I said "My O/S needs rebooting". No one got it. Probably because it doesn't make sense.

Exactly! They start appearing in your day to day speech, you start having recurring nightmares of Nam, people think you're crazy, and you get locked in a small 8x8 padded cell for the remainder of your days.

Aahh...luxury...

I doubt coffee will be strong enough to save me from the delusions that contribute to my daily dose of deliberate, thus inconsequential, madness.

You see, I have this feeling of oh... I don't know what, and I want to let myself drift away in these thoughts that will one day lead me to my inevitable demise.
