What would you be doing if
you didn't have the internet?

Or any access to the internet?

What would you be doing right now?

7. I'd find another addiction.....
This one replaced macrobiotics, which replaced body building, which replaced drinking, which replaced depression, which replaced being a member of my family.

9. For me? Hiking. Thinking about hiking. Writing about hiking.
It's becoming my new addiction.....it leads me to the backwoods & wilderness where I function well.

24. I wrote more, but different.
I focused more. Wrote history and fiction. Now I write one liners, and the occasional long ramble. But now I get to communicate with cool people like you, so it's more fun!

28. I don't do much history, more of a fiction-type person
And I have to admit, I spend more time screwing around and procrastinating than I do writing (y'all are too much fun not to play with sometimes)...but if it wasn't for the internet, I probably wouldn't write nearly as much. Wouldn't be read as much either, though.

And I'd still be writing crappy crap rather than less crappy crap.

16. At least you have things prioritized
I usually decide to go to bed, end up turning on the light to read, and then pop open a beer.

17. Reading A Book
Not very exciting I know. I just bought three new biographies. I am going to take a nice hot bath in the morning, crank the window A/C down to freezing and snuggle under the down comforter and read for hours. :)Thats what I would be doing this evening if I didn't have internet. But alas I do...Its like the ice cream truck for a 6 year old with me.

21. Not sure how to pronounce your moniker, but
it certainly seems as though you would be someone who would like to read, read, read!

38. Reading a book or magazine
I love to read and DU is fun to read. But if I didn't have the internet, I'd just be reading something else.
