MFP Forum Binges!!

Does anybody else find themselves just randomly having a forum binge?

For example, usually I only read up on topics that interest me or I ones where I feel I can contribute something positive to the discussion. Occasionally I like to direct some sarcastic/snarky comments towards what I would class a moronic question/statement. Then sometimes I find myself just reading every single post that appears on the right hand side of my screen!

Not really sure what my point is actually. Probably a case of it being 5.30 in the morning here in the UK, it's Sunday and I have nothing better to do at this ungodly hour! Lol.

    I think that's just the norm for me, lol. I'm a message board junkie, have been for years. There's no need for rehab, I have it under control. No, really. I can quit anytime I want...

    no I can't, no I can't! :smooched: I love you I love you :smooched: :smooched:

    I was going to think of a rehab based comment to throw at you, in a strictly friendly/banter (ish) style, until I noticed you like Skyrim.

    Now I want to talk about video games >.<

    L4D2 anybody?

    I forum binge all the time! It's a terrible habit honestly. I spend more time on the forums than I do exercising to lose weight , which kind of defeats the purpose of me even joining this website ahaha.

    I know what you mean!

    I do find though, that if I read the forums, it helps keep me in a positive mind about my fitness regime. On the rare occasions I find myself doubting my abilities, I can come on the forums and rediscover my motivation, just by reading through other peoples success stories!

    Every cloud has a silver lining I suppose!

    Yeah, desk jobs are the worse for boredom, glad I don't have one anymore! I've managed to find a decent amount of fellow Brits on here, too!
