Why, oh why?

[Perversion]

Here I was getting better for a bit.

For the past month or so, I've only been spending an average hour a day logged into the Pav. For some reason, I've been here for almost 3 hours already today. And nothing's going on. No drama ensuing. Nobody's posting anything major. Why can I not just log off, turn off my PS3, and play Etrian Odyssey II on my DS, which has been in sleep mode for the past 4 hours or so, in the middle of a battle?



What is this strange power that the Pavilion exudes?

(That's a paraphrase from Being John Malkovich, in case you were wondering).

I've heard if you visit the Pav to much, you get anal seepage...

Perhaps it's the result of internet addiction? More likely, it's just a compulsive tendacy that can be easily overcome with a moderate amount of will. You're here because you want to be here.

That makes two of us.

Three, actually. I often find myself wishing people would stop posting while I am trying to catch up on the days talk, but as soon as there is nothing new to read I am wishing people would post like mad.

There's a need in your life which you instinctively feel can be met in the realm of human fellowship.

The Pavilion fills that void though only temporarily (and sometimes does not satiate it at all), but promises more satisfaction in the future. The Pavilion seduces people back with its promise of future social rewards.

This.

I'm a compulsive clicker. If I don't give myself something to do, I'll find myself looking at my email, unthinkingly clicking the "email" link in my toolbar. I've gotten a chain of like five once.

I think it's just kind of an internet thing. You go on searching for a recipe for apple pie, soon enough you are looking for who made apple pie, then with enough time making a topic about what people think of apple pie.

I know I've been here too much when I'm reading a three page topic about ALARM CLOCKS.

Re: Why, oh why?

The Pav just speaks to me and says I must post.

Oh and for the past 3 months I've been hearing random AIM message sounds in my head and it forces me to think...

What the hell?

I blame the emoticons.

Best I've seen anywhere.

Re: Why, oh why?

You're lucky Perversion, the pavilion sucks right now it should be easy for you. Alarm clock topic bigfoot mentioned, the picture spam topics suck right now, and I like movies as much as the next guy but you losers are taking it to a whole 'nother level. We need something negative to happen, or some topic or post should arise where we can all talk about the past again. That's what the pavilion runs on, nostalgia and negativity. I seriously have no idea why new people even bother to post here really, seeing as how they probably can't relate to most of the things we talk about. Not to mention the fact that they would probably get ostracized eventually anyways for either being too different, pedestrian, or stupid.

I never really understood what makes people log into here for hours. If nothing is going on I just go somewhere else.

Re: Why, oh why?

It is not my fault everyone can talk about alarm clocks.

Re: Why, oh why?

I tend to be doing other things while I'm at the Pav. Like I'll have a movie on and occasionally refresh the Pav. Or I'm playing a game that I can let sit for a minute or two to refresh the New Posts.

It's not wasting time if you do other things at the same time. =3
