Sure, let's go for it if it can help you... but, try to induce some discussion at the end... after all, it's a general discussion forum...

Do you consider yourself an Internet addict? Why?
Yes, I stay more than 7 hours a day on internet... Besides, I can't spend a couple of days without connection>_<

Do you find that you stay on-line longer than you intended? If so, why?
Longer? Yes, certainly... mainly because I'm going from link to link without real aim... so it takes longer...

Do you neglect household chores to spend more time on-line?
No. That's the kind of things that I would not do.

Do others in your life complain to you about the time you spend on-line? If so, what do they tell you?
Mom. "That's too much... Your brother is already always stuck on its computer, you won't do the same too!"

Do you check your email before something else that you need to do?
Yes. Because most of my assignments at university and communication with teachers and classmates is through emails. I don't often check other email accounts...

How often do you find yourself anticipating when you will go on-line again?
Not often... Only when I'm waiting for an important mail...

Do you fear that life without Internet would be boring, empty and joyless? Why?
Boring maybe but not joyless... Boring without internet-friends, but my joy is IRL most of the time (no offence)...

Do you yell or act annoyed if someone bothers you while you're online?
Only when I'm doing something important... if I'm just browsing with no real aim it's ok!

Do you lose sleep due to late night log-ins?
Yes... I did... last semester =_= and I'll probably do it again this semester... (so keep on coming with interesting discussions!)

What do you prefer, telephone calls or on-line chatting? If the latter, why?
Telephone calls... You can at least feel the emotions of the speaker through his/her voice... not like on internet... too impersonal...

Do you prefer being on-line rather than going out with others?
Yes. I prefer the comfort of my room and internet connection >_<

Have you ever given out excuses for staying on-line longer? If so, give one or two examples.
Yes: "I'm sending an important mail" "I'm having an important discussion" :p (not that persuasive though)

Do being on-line for long sessions give you muscular problems? If so, which ones?
No... never... wait... it that related to my over-weight?

Have you ever tried to cut down the online time and failed?
I've tried during exam time, and I could do it successfully ^_^

Give an example of your worst experience ever due to the Internet.
Can't think of something precise... maybe talking online with ignorant people?

Thanks for the cookies... I got hungry with all these questions :p
After, you finish with gathering all these information, I hope that we will get to know the result and to discuss them too ^_^

Aren't things like this 'illegal' on AP? I'm wondering why it hasn't been locked yet...

No.

Have you ever tried to cut down the online time and failed?
Yes. XD it seems that I cannot stop myself from using the computer even to save my life (just a figure of speech).

An example will be that I got lots and lots of virus because of spending too much time in the internet. (got this problem when I was still not that knowledgable in the computer)

That all folks... XD

No because I've gone months without internet and lived just fine.

Give an example of your worst experience ever due to the Internet.
When I was in the middle of a fairly large download at a stupidly slow speed, 85% till completion and my internet conviently went down.

Yes of course! When you get the grade please tell us what you got, i'm really interested.
Do you consider yourself an Internet addict? Why?
- Yes and no. I do spend a lot of time on the net. I could always do something on the net and find something new and interesting to do like reading fanfictions, blogs or visting forums. But at the same time when i have something to do i don't go on net even if i maybe want to.

Do you find that you stay on-line longer than you intended? If so, why?
- No, i don't. I always stay on-line as long as i can but never longer. If i have something else to do i stop.

Do you neglect household chores to spend more time on-line?
- No, i don't because i think it's better to do the chores before and then when you have free time you can go on-line as long as you want.

Do others in your life complain to you about the time you spend on-line? If so, what do they tell you?
- My mother usually complains i'm spending too much time on my computer and that i should go out for walks or with my friends or spend more time with them(my parents). My brother also complains because then he can't play games or be on-line.

Do you check your email before something else that you need to do?
- No, i don't use email too much.

How often do you find yourself anticipating when you will go on-line again?
- Not too often usually when i find something interesting to read or watch on-line but i couldn't do it before because i didn't have time. Then i think about it when i do other stuff.

Do you fear that life without Internet would be boring, empty and joyless? Why?
- I think i would survive. I just don't want to because on the net there are a lot of interesting and funny stuff.

Do you yell or act annoyed if someone bothers you while you're online?
- No, i only don't like when my parents come into my room when i'm reading fanfiction or watching anime.

Do you lose sleep due to late night log-ins?
- Only when i have summer break. When i go to school i'm enough tired with that but staying up all night because of the net think that would kill me.

What do you prefer, telephone calls or on-line chatting? If the latter, why?
- Telephone calls. Don't know why maybe because i'm used to it.

Do you prefer being on-line rather than going out with others?
- Depends on my mood. I like both. Both have it's own good and bad sides. But i think that if i would have to choose between those two i would choose being on-line. I go out with others so i can talk to them, joke around and that kind of stuff and that you can also do on-line.

Have you ever given out excuses for staying on-line longer? If so, give one or two examples.
- Only one. "I'm downloading something so i can't stop now"

Give an example of your worst experience ever due to the Internet.
- None bad experiences just good for now.

Do you consider yourself an Internet addict? Why?
No, I might check my email a few times a day, but I mostly visit my favorite sites once a day.
Do you find that you stay on-line longer than you intended? If so, why?
No, usually when nothing's going or boring, I get off.
Do you neglect household chores to spend more time on-line?
I try and hurry with my chores to have more online time.
Do others in your life complain to you about the time you spend on-line? If so, what do they tell you?
My mom mom used to get mad at me when we had dial up but now we have dsl so she doesn't really care anymore.
Do you check your email before something else that you need to do?
Mostly, yes. I always have some kind of mail coming in.
How often do you find yourself anticipating when you will go on-line again?
It really hits me when I'm in a place with no online access, so it makes me wanna get home faster.
Do you fear that life without Internet would be boring, empty and joyless? Why?
It might be a little boring, but you'd just have to find something else to do like another hobby.
Do you yell or act annoyed if someone bothers you while you're online?
No, not really.
Do you lose sleep due to late night log-ins?
I don't really stay on at night because I have to get up early in the mornings.
What do you prefer, telephone calls or on-line chatting? If the latter, why?
on line chatting..cuz I don't talking on the phone and people listening in on my phone calls.
Do you prefer being on-line rather than going out with others?
I like going out with my friends alot and then they usually like to come get on the internet themselves.
Have you ever given out excuses for staying on-line longer? If so, give one or two examples.
I guess I have sometimes, but I can't really remember one now.
Do being on-line for long sessions give you muscular problems? If so, which ones?
My neck or back starts hurting after a few hours...so that tells me that I need to get off for a while.
Have you ever tried to cut down the online time and failed?
I've never really had that problem. My longest session online would be for three hours at the most.

Do you consider yourself an Internet addict? Why?
Very, I'm online for hours everyday and I'm having real trouble to stop surfing because of bedtime.
On school days I only sleep for a few hours (3-4 hours) per night, because I'm sitting way to long behind my computer surfing the internet or gaming.

Do you find that you stay on-line longer than you intended? If so, why?
Always, when I say to myself that I'm gonna go to bed at 1.30 AM I always end up going to bed at 4 AM or even later.

Do you neglect household chores to spend more time on-line?
No, because I hardly do any household chores, I'm f*cking lazy when it comes to chores.

Do others in your life complain to you about the time you spend on-line? If so, what do they tell you?
Except from my mom, nobody, my mom usely complains about me going to bed way too late.

Do you check your email before something else that you need to do?
Only on my personal computer, when my computer starts Windows Live Messenger automatically starts, so it shows me directly how many emails I have, so that I can check them immidiately and after that I check my college mailbox.

How often do you find yourself anticipating when you will go on-line again?
Hardly, because I usely go online at the same time every day (11 PM or 0 AM, depends on how late I'm finished with watching TV).

Do you fear that life without Internet would be boring, empty and joyless? Why?
Yes, because the internet deliveres me, after the TV, the most enjoyment in the day and if that would disappear then every day would be a lot less enjoyable.

Do you yell or act annoyed if someone bothers you while you're online?
Sometimes, mostly in the case that my mom starts to talk about every day things when I havent asked her to open her mouth.

Do you lose sleep due to late night log-ins?
As stated above in another question, yes.

What do you prefer, telephone calls or on-line chatting? If the latter, why?
Online chatting, because you can do multile things during the chat and at the telehone you mostly have to hang on and listen...and listen.

Do you prefer being on-line rather than going out with others?
I never go out to a bar or night club, so I prefer being online (costs less too then a night out ^^).

Have you ever given out excuses for staying on-line longer? If so, give one or two examples.
Nope, I never excuse, why should I?

Do being on-line for long sessions give you muscular problems? If so, which ones?
Not really, only my right hand starts to a bit painfull after hours of straight mouse work.

Have you ever tried to cut down the online time and failed?
A few times, in the begin I can hold it on but eventually I'm online even longer then before.

Give an example of your worst experience ever due to the Internet.
Besides downloading some crappy programs that mess upped my Windows functioning and a few arts of trojans, nothing really bad.

Do you consider yourself an Internet addict? Why?
Yes, because I'm addicted to the internet.

Do you find that you stay on-line longer than you intended? If so, why?
Yes, because I feel like it. You're not the boss of me.

Do you neglect household chores to spend more time on-line?
Yes, but I neglect household chores anyway.

Do others in your life complain to you about the time you spend on-line? If so, what do they tell you?
They do once, then they get back-handed for telling me how to spend my time.

Do you check your email before something else that you need to do?
No. If I have time to check my email then obviously it wasn't something I needed to do.

How often do you find yourself anticipating when you will go on-line again?
Rarely. Maybe the 20 seconds between waking up in the morning and sitting down at my desk.

Do you fear that life without Internet would be boring, empty and joyless? Why?
I'm certain it would be. Just look at history without the internet. There were pirates roaming the sea and nazis causing trouble. This is what happens when people are bored and have no infinite outlet like the interweb.

Do you yell or act annoyed if someone bothers you while you're online?
I always yell. Hitting is also good. Blunt objects are ideal.

Do you lose sleep due to late night log-ins?
No, I sleep at work.

What do you prefer, telephone calls or on-line chatting? If the latter, why?
Telephone.

Do you prefer being on-line rather than going out with others?
Yes, people are obnoxious. I only interact with women because they have certain body parts I need, and I only hang out with guys to make fun of strangers.

Have you ever given out excuses for staying on-line longer? If so, give one or two examples.
I once told someone I had to answer an irrelevent thread about spending time on the internet, she refuses to speak to me for breaking our anniversary date. The nerve of some people....

Do being on-line for long sessions give you muscular problems? If so, which ones?
Um...no. These questions seem to be getting stranger.

Have you ever tried to cut down the online time and failed?
No, why would I do that? I wonder if anyone has read this far down in my post...I mean seriously, why would you care? Go away.

Give an example of your worst experience ever due to the Internet.
Once my dsl went down and I was forced to go outside. Having not communicated with real people for so long I attacked four or five of them before someone called the cops on me. I ripped my best pair of pants running from the police...I really miss those pants.

Do we get paid for this? o.0

Give an example of your worst experience ever due to the Internet.
bad grades and eyebags.

Do you consider yourself an Internet addict? Why?
Yes, but it's because I just can't live without downbloading 50 GB or more data per month, other than that I don't stay in front of my computer more than 5 hours a day I guess, just for data organization, listening music, watch anime and arrange meets with friends over IMs.

Hell NO!

Me too :(

Here you go! XD

Do you consider yourself an Internet addict? Why?
- Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. I crave getting on the internet every day when I get home from school. Layout making has really got to me O.O

Do you find that you stay on-line longer than you intended? If so, why?
- I intend on spending about two hours a day... to get on with my life, but then I get into my "sanctuary" mode where all I want to do is make graphics!

Do you neglect household chores to spend more time on-line?
- No... I would be grounded for that. I was raised to do as my elders tell me ^_^

Do others in your life complain to you about the time you spend on-line? If so, what do they tell you?

Do you fear that life without Internet would be boring, empty and joyless? Why?

- Used to, until my parents saw my grades slipping and they're 'keeping their eyes on me'

What do you prefer, telephone calls or on-line chatting? If the latter, why?
