I am definitely very ill…
arrrrgggghhhhh…..!!!!!
This blog/site is taking up so much of my time. I’ve spent most of the last two days working on various aspects of the blog/site. If it’s not writing a post, it’s tweaking the design. If it’s not that, then it was integrating the (newly found) SMS blog, and then actually blogging on it!
Fortunately, I do have and can spare the time. At the moment.
Nevertheless, it’s starting to appear very unhealthy to me. I’m no longer watching as much TV as I used to - and it wasn’t always frivolous television. I used to watch a lot of BBC World but I hardly do so anymore. A few months ago I was reading a book or two each week (thanks to the British Council), but it’s been a long while since I’ve picked one up. [I started a novel three Sundays ago when I spent a day at the beach in Port Dickson. I got halfway and then when I came back to KL, and my PC, the book has since remained untouched on my beside table.]
I get terribly anxious about my blog/site. I check the site statistics frequently - all four of them! - to see how many people have dropped by and from where they came. I check my emails on an hourly basis to see if I have an alert that someone has commented on one of my entries. I check PetalingStreet.org frequently in case my post has been pushed down the list by other updates. If so, I have to think up something quick and get it posted to drive yet more traffic my way!
I’m posting so much, you wouldn’t believe it. I post at work. I post at home on my desktop PC. I post via SMS. And now that I have a wireless network at home, I post wirelessly even when I’m on the toilet with my laptop. Err…no, I’m kidding. I don’t have a laptop. I do it with my iPaq instead!
I’m so connected, and blogged, it’s no longer funny.
I think this is what they meant when they suggested that I was histrionic, paranoid and obsessive-compulsive! I seriously need help…

good to know that one is not alone
know what you mean! (and don’t be surprised if my I.P address turns up in real stalker style on your site statistics. Am a self-confessed serial linker.)
am feeling generous today.. am giving you a comment to read. something to pop up in your email. heh.
Hmmm… another new modern sick after ‘Internet paranoid’ –> the ‘blog paranoid’?
I was reading this entry particularly paragraph 4 and thought: “Hey this is me when i first started my blog!”. Ahh, good to know I’m not alone after all. You don’t need help. You’ll get over it one day. Trust me on this. Cheers.
your affliction should run through it’s due course pretty soon…
or long…
or ages…
or…
then again, think of how many other people are also like that.

It’s okay, jikon. THings will subside. But then again, even as we speak, pyschiatrists and pyschologists are working to document a new disorder that is hugely related to internet addicts, like bloggers. Sigh…
you guys are all so sweet…!
Thank god I have a job that doesn’t let me blog as much as I would. Or else I’ll be so boring (if I’m not already) and will drive everyone away, instead of driving them to my blog. Two to three comments per post and I’m happy.
And yeah, they all so sweet they’re practically diabetic.
I’ve been bloggin since 1999. And I still do this furious checking, poring my mind for next topics to write, then checking my comments and links and stats!
It’s that rush you get I guess.
It’s also fun to think that there are people out there who do think like you and do understand….
We’re all hedonistic by nature
