Anyone care to sign up with me? (Yes, I realize this is a relatively old article. I've been meaning to blog about it for... *ahem*... awhile.)

Despite my self-imposed hiatus from commenting and blogging lately: Hello, my name is Janet (aka Halfmama) and I am an Internet junkie.
On some days, I think G is ready to ship me off to Mokcheon. But then he wouldn't have anyone with whom he can make bets and then google the answers right away, e.g. Did Bill Bellamy begin his career as a comedian or a VJ? (Yes, this is the stuff of competition in our marriage.) But I digress.
It doesn't help that I actually need to use my computer to make a living. But I admit, it has taken over part of my life. It's something from which I'm slowly trying to wean myself — and part of the reason for the lack of commenting and blogging lately.
But I'll be honest, it's not easy. Just because I'm not leaving my trail of idiotic comments around, it doesn't mean I'm not lurking.
...And now that makes it sound like I'm hiding my addiction. Shit, I'm one step away from G finding me in the closet with the laptop in the middle of the night, guilty face and all.
Jump Up Internet Rescue School, here I come!
WHO'S WITH ME?

My favorite line from the article:
"'I don’t have a problem,' Chang-hoon said in an interview three days after starting the camp. 'Seventeen hours a day online is fine.'"
