On the addictiveness of weblogs

[taylweaver]

I have now discovered that livejournal can turn into a dangerous obsession. It is like a strange version of six degrees of separation, in wich you click on link after link, wondering whether you will see a familiar username in an unexpected location.

I am excited to see that a certain friend learned of my blog without my telling her about it - and managed to be the first person to post a comment - but also slightly amused that she found it by checking out the blog of a friend of a mutual friend, on whose blog I had posted a comment.

Anyway, the masters project? Still not done, despite the fact that my extension lasted until yesterday, so much as I would like to post further updates, I must now be off to work on it.

Oh, yes. It's exceedingly disturbing. I shall have to tell you other stories of LJ connections when we're both on AIM.

Anything can turn into a dangerous obsession if you let it. Good luck with the thesis!
