Things like these are so cheesy sometimes but this one kind of took me by surprise because I thought that I did not use the internet so much but I guess I do. #22 and #21, that's what I do. I start my computer in the morning, go to the kitchen and make myself a cup of coffee, and then sit in front of my computer and check my mail and sometimes I log on here.

26) aol users - you put up an away message instead of just logging off (pakiprncess is away: "i am brushing my teeth"..."i am washing my car, leave a message!"..."i am praying, will be back after maghrib"...etc etc)

27) you refer to your online associates as "..and then muslimkuri said that she had been through that too! can you believe it, mom? i thought that happened only in california!"

28) you wonder if logging onto the board from work would be considered obsessive compulsive.

29) your brother calls you obsessive compulsive when you demand that your father get another computer for him to do his homework on so that you can go online in peace.

30) your friends stop calling you to invite you to study groups and e-mail you instead. if you say, "im sorry, but i didnt check my email," they are shocked and get extremely irritated, claiming that you might as well join the flinestones family.
