Part Duex

I came up with this list nearly a year ago, I stopped at number 18 and I'm now expanding it again. If you can answer yes to at least half of these... you may want to enter yourself into a 12 step program.

You know you're a blogger when...:

1. You come up with a great idea for a post and rush to the cyber cafe to use their computer because yours is too far away.

2. You dream about people you know only through blogland.

3. You take pictures of your TV to show something you saw.

4. you talk to your family and friends about your blogland pals like they are in the room… “hey, what would EmmaBug think?”

5. You plan vacations with other bloggers, not in cyberspace, but for real.

6. you get mad at a colleague at work for interrupting your blog time

7. Your husband/wife competes with your blog for “quality time”.

8. You watch your blog, hitting the refresh button every few minutes, to see if someone else in another country has just popped online.

9. Like “sponge worthy” Elaine in Seinfeld, you think about things in terms of blog worthy experiences or not blog worthy experiences. Trust me, if Seinfeld were still on, there would be a blogging episode.

10. Your kids/family/friends/pets do something awful but before you get involved you take a picture.

11. Your job may be in jeopardy due to your blogging… habit.

12. You keep list of potential posts.

13. You see a coworker doing something insane and you can’t wait to write about it.

14. You leap for joy to see your blog site being linked on another person’s “favorite” list.

15. You get mad at Blogger.com when you can’t load pictures.

16. You arrange for someone to blog for you if you are out of town.

17. You have nothing constructive to add to someone else’s blog, but you post a comment anyway.

18. It’s 2 AM and you’re reading this.

19. A friend or family member does something stupid and they turn to you and ask you "you are aren't going to blog about this are you?".

20. Your spouse takes a turn at the wheel and insists on posting something on the blog that has recently really ticked them off.

21. You take notes on vacation so you can blog about it.

22. You have incurred some strange ailment with your writing arm due to too much typing on a laptop in front of the TV.

23. You see a hit on your blog from a VERY small town near where you work and you go "oh shit" as they don't know about this part of you and you'd like to keep it that way.

24. You forgo the Holiday cards and email everyone a link to a picture of your decorations on your blog.

25. People ask you what's new and you say aghast "don't you read the blog?".

26. Your child's first word is not mom or dad, it's "blog".
