A life in a Chat
Some weeks ago a girl from my class (who I always thatough of that she hated me) talked a bit to me. 't was about stuff, don't remember, when being home we sent e-mails to each other. She send me a link of a chat site she is registererd to. She has more than one account there, but in the profile of the one I knew was a hint to another. Out of interest I searched for it:
Registered since August 22nd 2002
Since then she has spent 154824 minutes here...
154824 minutes... this is 107 days... in 3 years...
Is it just me or is that really a bit much time?

My sister is online and usually on a chatroom site for 7 hours a day, which if you work that out over the past 2-3 years is QUITE a lot. What sad sad lives people on the internet lead  |

107 days in three years is nothing.

Due to internet problems, I'm not in my chat room as much as I'd like, but, when I was, espiclly here and at Uni when I had 24/7 connections, I was there, active or just idling, 10+hrs a day.. And when I was on dlaiup, if I was online, I was in the chat room..
Then again, maybe I've spent too much time there too

Well, I will be the voice of dissent here. I have met some very interesting people on the internet and feel they have added an extra dimension to my life. And I really do have another life. I don't do the chat rooms because they drive me crazy but I love a good chat on an IM. Some of these people have proven to be real friends. Of course I have met some real jerks there also, but it is easy to ignore them ( My goodness, that sounds like real life. huh?)
All in all, I would not exchange these experiences for anything.

I've known people who have fallen in love via the internet - via these forums, as a matter of fact - so it's definitely not a waste of time.

Falling in in love via the internet is very questionable in my opinion. But that's another thing.
