When you start wondering if you could manage, only sleeping once every other day.

Silly giggling... all those other birds along the way, I guess.

Then it's the wasteland of 500 more posts, before the magic place where you can change to wr you like.

At which point, you forget what you were waiting for, can't make up your mind, change it once, and forget what all the waiting was about, (ooops, no, I've already said that, I forgot), change it again, then leave it alone for a couple of hundred posts, forget something else....

My posts per day average increased from 4.14 to 4.93 posts per day. I've been making a "Prime Number"
post just about every weekend, though that really didn't start in earnest until #223.
The increments between these posts increases because they refer to numbers on a divergent curve.
Right now I'm just grinding along until I get to 1000. This is # 746.

You might be addicted to WrongPlanet when your post per day count goes from 4.14 to 4.93 to 5.98
posts per day. Addiction is a progressive thing!! !


"Addiction is a progressive thing". It's now up to 6.01 per day....

You make a post in the "YMBAAI" thread and you wonder how long it will take for lau to answer you.

When you leave an hour long disciplinary hearing for playing on the internet at work, only to go right back to posting.

I think you come up with a lot of good ones, so I suppose the effort is worth it.

When every time something interesting happens to you, but you are in the real world and away from your computer, you start recording events in your head as how you will type them up as a post. Then you start thinking how cool it would be if you could make your brain have a WiFi connection.

You vowed to yourself 5 hours ago that you would not log off until you reached 1000 posts, and now you're wondering how you could ever be so masochistic, but you're not giving up anytime soon.
Here comes the spam posts. :arrow: :arrow:
