ooooh, mysterious other~ :o

:D

i wouldn't say that i am. well, sometimes. in periods. like, in 2003 i was constantly on here when i wasn't at uni because i didn't know what else to do. >_> then i got a job and stuff happened. then more stuff happened and i came back here last year and just bleh. :o i dunno. i love coming here, even when i felt as though i would be triggered by absolutely everything, but yeah. :o


nope, not really an addict. i mean, come on. msnm is my addiction. that and vodka, but shhhh.

>_>

<_<

- so i turn myself inside out in hope someone will see -
- these precious things let them break their hold on me -

psshht.. what's the point in recovery for being a "bus addict"? I'm quite happy with the whole addiction to bus.. :-)

for me, i have a hard time with anything that is
potentially mood altering. it can be healthy and

I'm a true BUS-aholic, in that I need my BUS time... However, it is both healthy and unhealthy for me.

BUS brings me both happiness (friends!) and unhappiness (bad time management leads to stress leads to unhappy).

I voted yes. Even when I need to take a break when I'm sick, for example - or when I'm away from home (thank goodness for Internet Cafes) - I get twitchy if can't see what's going on on Bus for a couple of days.

Good thing really, since I'm a mod - but yes, bus addiction is real :-? . Or maybe it's just addiction to being round great people who really care about each other - which makes it sound less scary and much more reasonable! :tongue:

I'll go with that description I think. BUSoholism is a good thing after all!
...then one day I realised that the people you see in waiting rooms and car parks and on trains are really far more interesting. That they all have whole novels inside them, a fabric of scar tissues, photos and memories. They are comedies and tragedies and - more often - both at the same time.
