hey just woundering how much time do you all spend on here a day?
Like I sleep and all but i cant go on the computer without going on this site.

i am online about half the day. I spend about half an hour in the morning before class. In class, i spend a little less than half my time here. When i get back home, i am online for another couple hours. Less if nobody is making any new posts. So i am a forum addict, though my status does not say so yet. Can anyone beat that?

to hard to measure how much time I'm on here but I'm on and off every chance I get.
