You know you're using ICQ too much when .... |
|
|
|
You see psychedelic flowers when you close your eyes to go to sleep. |
|
|
Before you have a conversation with someone, you kindly ask them if they'd like to accept a chat request. |
|
|
You consider sleeping your "N/A" mode. |
|
|
You hear little voices in your head constantly saying "uh-oh". |
|
|
You have over 500 buddies on your contact list. |
|
|
You've had long conversations with all 500 of those buddies. |
|
|
You begin to think names like "Tom" and "Jane" are strange, but names like "Snakeman" and "Tigger" are common. |
|
|
Your friend introduces you to a new person, and you immediately ask them if you can add them to your "contact list". |
|
|
Since downloading ICQ, you've learned to speak 7 new languages, including Ukranian and the dialect of a small native community in Peru. |
|
|
To you, ICQ isn't just a program, it's a "gift to mankind". |
|
|
Your idea of a "wild time" is inviting all of your online friends into one giant chatroom. |
|
|
The last time you signed off ICQ was during the George Bush administration. |
|
|
Every time a new version or update of ICQ is released, you have your own celebration party, complete with cake, party favors, and champagne. |
|
|
Your dog leaves you due to lack of attention, despite your efforts to appease him by giving him his own ICQ number. |
|
|
Your one pride in life has become your immense contact list, and you ask all your friends to send over their contacts to make it even bigger. |
|
|
You name your first child "Mirabilis" and tell all your friends that it was because you "liked how it sounded". |
|
|
You have carefully allotted your time during work/school lunch breaks: 32 minutes to check and respond to ICQ messages, 3 minutes to eat. |
|
|
Your spouse is insanely jealous of the computer and refers to it only as your "sugar daddy". |
