You know you are addicted to the Kitten Board...

[Foomatic]

. . . when you check the board during the one minute it takes for your video project to render, making it impossible to finish said project (that's due tomorrow and nowhere near finished).

. . . when you have one window open to read fics and a separate one that refreshes every couple of minutes or so so you don't miss any posts while indulging in the latest update of your favorite fic.

*breathes a sign of relief* I thought I was the only one who did that...

I thought I was the only one who did a lot of the things mentioned in this thread. Now I don't feel so freakish and obsessive.

[Candleshoe]

Oh good - the general idea was to make us all feel better about the "eccentricities" we exhibit.

I listen to songs very carefully, in case I can use them in the Lyrics Chain at some point...

[Scortor]

...when you're over someone else's house and ask to your their computer really quickly for updates and posts.

You find yourself wondering if YMNIZA knows that they are logged into chat a lot of the time.

When you know that YMNIZA is Marina, and that she is usually not in the chatroom durring the day...but is just always there

[YMKA]

I guess when you find your nickname mentioned on this thread

And so you can stop wondering......I just forget to close my mIRC I'll try to remember to exit

[Candleshoe]

When your colleagues ask how kisstheviolets' painting work is going, or whether Sally's wife has found out about the teapot yet.

[Auburn]

When you take the pan off the hob, read a fic update, then resume cooking once finished reading.

[Candleshoe]

when you realise that there is no point asking to be alerted when new PMs or replies arrive, as you are on the board more often than you check your mail....

[Auburn]

When you don't have to press on the emoticons because you already know their commands like is : fit2 and is : hmm

[SithLordWiccan]

When the first thing you do in the morning (before breakfast, showering or even making the bed) is to log on and check if anyone's left feedback for your fics.

[cantbefredless]

...when you talk more to the people on this board via posts than you do your own mother -- who lives in the same house with you.

thats sadly very very true...

When the kitten board is your homepage, also when people ask what the kitten board is your freak out and yell at them for not knowing what it is

[Auburn]

When you have more than one browser window open and one is 'different coloured pens' one is 'the kitten' one is 'genuine moulded plastic'....

[Emms]

When you have to be somewhere in thirty minutes but you sit at the computer in a towel, posting, instead of getting dressed.

You panic for a whole 5 second's when the board is being a bit slow and don't even THINK that it might just be your net being slow.

[Candleshoe]

IT'S 2AM !!! - this is how I know I am addicted....

[SithLordWiccan]

...you cut class to check to see if there's a new post.

[oneyedchicklet]

When you check for posts before going into the shower then again when you get out.

HUGS
Barb

[Emms]

You nix the shower altogether because you're checking for posts.

Don't knock it. I've done it a couple of times.

[kisstheviolets]

when you wonder if your KB addiction qualifies as something that could disqualify you from the Bar... then realizing that all the work you're not doing as a result of the aforementioned addiction will do the trick just fine if you don't graduate.

[GayNow]

when you sacrifice sacred break time at work to check the board...all the while not worrying if people in the breakroom (at the very stylish "internet cafe") are looking over your shoulder at the pictures of two women kissing.

[LesbianJedi87]

When you sit around all day pissing people off and posting to random people you'll never meet just to overcrowd the board lol

[Candleshoe]

£2 per half hour in a strange internet cafe, run by strange people, while being stared at by strange people, on Easter Sunday....all to get my fix of kittens!

[dorksrcool]

When you hang out with fellow kittens even though you're really tired and have to work in the morning but you have to stay awake to watch foreign lesbian films.

[Auburn]

When you realise you're a little protective of it.

[Sandman78]

The fact that it's 3:06 am and I'm still posting!!!
