I have always been curious about the type of people who are "online posters"----
Like things to consider:
nationality
race/ethnicity
Where do you live?
age
Religion
introverted/extroverted
level of education
How many hours a day do you spend online?
How many outside friends do you have?
Do you work? Is it a job that requires a computer?
What type of work do you do?
Do you go to school?
Are you single/ Married?
What do you like most about your online group of friends?
Has anyone dated anyone in the group of online friends?
How often do you speak to each other when your not online?
How many hours a week do you work, if you do work?
Any co-morbid disorders hehehe- just kidding....
Just being nosey-- no one has to answer these questions but it always makes me wonder........
**If you can't beat em' join em"**

Where do you live? – North Central Florida
age - 47
Religion – in worship, Jewish in thought, all over the place mostly Buddhist over all I think
introverted/extroverted – depends on my mood, mostly introverted I guess
level of education – some college
How many hours a day do you spend online? – uhm… all unless I’m sleeping?
How many outside friends do you have? - :::hanging head::: none. I think I’m too difficult
Do you work? – do you consider being a SAHM and advocate for my son working? If so, then YES!
Is it a job that requires a computer? - usually
What type of work do you do? – see above
Do you go to school? – the school of hard knocks
Are you single/ Married? – married nearly 20 years
What do you like most about your online group of friends? – the interaction
Has anyone dated anyone in the group of online friends? – other than you and Fist? no
How often do you speak to each other when your not online? – now that Fist and I have discussed Pantheon occasionally over the phone, and Jenn and I recipes, more often than before, but it’s still only occasionally
How many hours a week do you work, if you do work? – if you accept the above, like Sea, 24/7
Any co-morbid disorders hehehe- just kidding.... – I strongly believe Beorn’s condition is genetic. While most of it appears to come from Paul and his family line, I also suspect there has to be a reason why I can not hold on to friends IRL. So, who knows?

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.

But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
Full of the heavens and time.

- Location: Colorado
nationality: Stupid 'merican
race/ethnicity: I'm also a Cauc - and why do so many people call me that?
Where do you live? Colorado
age - 37
Religion - Waiting to get one started about me, but until then, I'm fence-sitting
Chinese zodiac sign - Cock
Totem animal - Beaver (I'm very balanced)
introverted/extroverted - typically introverted meeting new people, but extroverted once I feel comfortable.
level of education - B.A. in English Lit, but I work in computers. Go figure.
How many hours a day do you spend online? 8 or less because I pretty much only do it at work. I have dial-up at home, and that's no fun.
How many outside friends do you have? A few close ones, and a heap of flaky ones.
Do you work? Is it a job that requires a computer? Yep. Right now I'm a help desk guy, and it seems to require two computers. So it's pretty much one for work and one for play.
What type of work do you do? I just told you. Sheesh.
Do you go to school? I'd love to go back to college, but I'm sure I would feel old.
Are you single/ Married? Divorced (once), engaged (twice), but currently co-habitating with no plans for marriage. Yet.
What do you like most about your online group of friends? They are ever present. Yikes. That's a little scary. But better than my real friends who tend to have lives of their own. Bastards.
Has anyone dated anyone in the group of online friends? I dunno. Actually, I guess on another forum (Douglas Adams Continuum), there did seem to be a little hanky-panky between a couple of them. It all ended in tears.
How often do you speak to each other when your not online? I try to transmit psychic signals when not online, but I've never gotten a response back.
How many hours a week do you work, if you do work? 40.
Any co-morbid disorders: These would read like side effects on a drug advertisement. Really, I think I'm pretty sane. At least that's what the voices tell me.

Life is a waste of time
Time is a waste of life
So get wasted all of the time
And you'll have the time of your life

This is all very interesting. When I get some more people maybe I'll put it in a nice little pie chart That would be fun You could call it "Watch data"-
He he, yeah, you could make a "poster" out of me. I think it would be good to get my mind off reality sometimes, especially at work. Hmmm, What is the Crisis Du Jour today..........It never ends
