I'm actually starting to worry about myself. Last night I obsessed on the NP page for hours and hours during the baseball games. Finally, the games were over and I then closed my laptop and just started flipping through the channels on tv. Fine. No, not fine. After about a half hour I gave in to the compulsion and flipped open the laptop and was clicking NP again. Oh no!

Me (to myself): I really need to get to bed.

My brain: Just one more click... maybe somebody posted something interesting in the last 500 milliseconds since you last clicked.

Me: Well... OK. *click*. Awww, nothing new or interesting. *yawn* I really need to get to bed.

My brain: Just one more click...

Repeat ad nauseum.

-Steve

Oh Lord, give me the strength to walk away from constantly checking new posts.

Crap. I'm doing it again.

Me (to myself): I really need to go to bed now.

My brain: But you haven't been on HBT for months! You have so much to catch up on! Go ahead and click on your "new posts" bookmark.

Me: My eyelids feel like iron curtains and my brain is all xyxxcnviunewaess.

My brain: Wat?

Me: Fail.

-Steve
