| I just remeber their is more to life than PC's.
Seriously, if im not in this boring place, I dont care about PC's and won't even touch them.
But if I am doing schoolwork and stuff, a PC is what I need... |

| There IS more to life than PCs...but right now my PC is my outlet to the world.
My parents restrict what I do, where I go, etc. So I talk to people on the internet, learn new things, etc.
Once I actually get a life (or girlfriend), I expect my computer usage to tailspin. |

| Yeah, I know I get caught up in hobbies a little further than I should, so to limit them, I take up multiple addictions. If I spread my time around enough, none of them could be considered addictions.  I hunt, wrench my truck, hang out with my woman, and do schoolwork.
I think most people around here are the same way and do balance thier lives out if at all possible.

| I am more addicted to cigarettes than to my computer. I have to use my computer for my job, and at night I don't have anything else to do. I'd rather sit around with a few people with a beer and have a good conversation.
