h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hey... *drooling into lap* ...pass me some of that .

...you jot down a note in your diary at home, and wonder why no-one's commented on it after three days.

You're deeply disappointed when no-one responds to your post after it's been there for a whole day, and you checked your conversations every minute.

How'd u kno... ...oh! damn, u caught me out.

You create a name that suggests that others need to visit your ps (guilty as charged)

You have a breakdown if you have no access to a computer for a day - (And it gets less as the addiction increases)

you try and you try and you try and you try, but you can't get your cellphone to get thru to the mobile handset website.

you know you're addicted when...

you organise drinks for poets evening (and nobody knows what you're talking about)

You organise drinks for Musician's Guild Night, only to find that s/he can't make it.

You're in Tesco and start blowing to complete strangers

You only started typing 3 days ago, but you can now type at 164wpm.

you keep asking/answering silly questions

You meet someone in your own journal, and it turns out you've known them for DECADES already.

No. I believe that's an illness

your thread gets interrupted by someone elses entry, and you don't get confused

You read a thread like this and think, "How did they know?"

you know you're addicted when

you start thinking the only possible professions are , , , , , , , , or

You post to a forum about being addicted to H2G2, and everyone can relate to your story

You post to a forum about being addicted to something else, and you get redirected to this thread.

Or you find yourself seriously writing about something

someone mentions a worthwhile subject, and all you can think of is putting it in peer review
