I, am a mouse potato. Or a web crawler. Or an internet addict. Or procrastinator. Or a no-life. Or whatever you want to call it. Basically, I am suffering from Internet Addiction Disorder(IAD). Well not just that, I, am also a couch potato(one who is absolutely addicted to television). Now that I don't have any access to the television, my only source of escape is the internet! I spend hours and hours in front of this screen staring absolute crap and doing nothing and just straining my poor eyes. My eyes turn moist and I start crying but never do I have mercy for them. My family has entitled me as the Procrastination Queen. Not that they can do much about my habits, I am a revolutionary as well. I do the exact opposite of whatever they say, even when I don't want to. It just happens. So yes, coming back to being a mouse potato, my internet got disconnected yesterday. I had used up all the free GB available to me. I switched on the computer as I had to finish a group project on Crusades and guess what, the stupid mouse was not working! I didn't even have the phone to look up the internet and it was catastrophic. Finally I begged and pleaded and did what not for recharging the internet connection of the laptop. So today when the internet came back, I was in the seventh heaven. I've been watching movies all day! I am the worst person to step on the face of this planet.
I have various weird syndromes. I suddenly become a book worm as well when I have my exams hovering over my head. I gobble up two 400 page novels in a day. Its absolutely crazy. I have a weird aversion to my syllabus textbooks. They start appearing mundane the day I buy them. Internet is therefore my addiction. I am never so loyal to a living creature. Internet has a crazy pull that sucks me to its vast universe of absolute vacuum. Its like a black hole that swallows my time and brain bit by bit every second I spend surfing it.
Internet, bro, you have taught me a lot especially how to procrastinate. Since I've started spending time with you I've started having all sorts of aches- headACHES, shoulderACHES, backACHES and many more. But fret not, my confession does not mean that I'll abandon you. How can I abandon you? You who have always been loyal to me, more than any living soul on this planet. You update me, fill my days and let me forget about solitude, you have taught me how to be social in the virtual world by being unsocial in the real world. You are such a great friend. You are the best thing that could "happen" to me, EVER.
With that, I would surf you for completing my Crusades project. Its been due for long now.

But many a times people don't actually get tired of repeating the same thing again and again, they just get plunged deep into their addiction.
