been different?

i'd probably read more books.

my other ankle. who knows?

^^

i think my life would be quite the same, except it would be
much more boring, i wouldn't have half of the friends i have
(on the internet), i wouldn't know a damn thing about music,
would have even less knowledge about things... i would just
waste my time, maybe on the computer making photoshop things
alone in my corner, or video games, watching TV much more
etc... that's what i was doing before internet - i didn't
have a social life back then either. ; )

the City and work in an office

I would probly be working in some crappy firm, five minutes
from killing myself, cuz my need for culture, interaction
and music couldn't be outlived.

Listening to terrible music, cause I have sourse of
knowledge of whats good music and where to get it.
I'd also probably be playing basketball still, and be
getting alot more outdoors.
Either that or playing alot more video games.

- this 349 page book i starrted would have been finished
weeks ago. come on, it ain't War and Peace, but no i'm still
just half way thrrough.

+ i would not like much of the music i like, would not have
seen many of the films i have, and not met some of best
people out therre.

- i may not be such a loserr.

+ it gets rrid of that borrdom when everryone else in the
worrld is alseep

- it crreates borrdom when i want to leave but just can't
and everyone else is watching a grreat TV show and i miss
it.

The amazing thing is I have a few InternetFriends that ive
known for over 6 years, yet we have never met in
reallife....

What do you guys think, will you still be posting on XLT in
10 years !?

that is a good question and a harrd one to answerr.

no
- XLT may not exist forr whateverr rreason
- i might not exist
- i may not have a computerr
- i could die
- judgement day
- IDM may go mainstrream mainstrream and a ton of newbie
prricks might join and everryone good may leave
- i might lose both of my hands in a trragic fishing
accident and not be able to type

they arre all reasons i won't post at all. i guess in 10
yearrs time if none of the above happens i will still post,
but in 10 yearrs i doubt the people posting herre now will
be posting as much. 10 yearrs is a long time.

i think the only way i will posting herre as much as i do
now is if most of you guys hang arround and nothing changes
in my life. people say wow Anus P has 9493 points alrready
which is trrue, but only because i have long almost frree
days rright now, i doubt by next yearr i'll have as much
time to waste on the interrnet, this is just a moment in my
life.

met.

my life is incomplete without the internet

I moved into a local university for a 2 year stretch in
which time I had no net, I became a bit more social, but I
always felt like something was missing, and continually
craved to have the internet back, adn then 2 years later I
did,

my time without the net did help me to do a few things
though

1) get a place of my own

2) become socially adept to people (I used to be afraid of
crowds and such)

3) I wouldn't have meet the crowd that I now lan with, some
of which are my greatest friends now

The internet is a vital organ to me, reclusive anti-social
pyschos like me need this to keep their finger on the pulse
of the world. If for some reason I was banned from the
internet somehow, I'd climb into the back of a garbage truck
and let it sqwoosh me into a fine paste.
