So, even though I have an exam tomorrow I've barely studied for and homework due I can't finish (higher-level math classes are more art than science, btw) I've been on here for half an hour before going to bed.

No real point to this post... Just wanted to admit I have an addiction.

I can't get my leg comfortable, so I can't sleep even after two Vicodin. What's your excuse.

Look at my post count, then tell me whether or not I'm addicted.

Hmmm am I addicted? Yesterday a friend and I were looking at youth hostels to plan our 3 month round the world trip (more on that later). I said we should look on TP and then got into a rather heated discussion about how only real travelers registar with TP. Oficially I was kidding but still...
But as has been said TP rocks and as addicitons go its not the worse one to have.

Oh gosh, this site is the one I always come to immediately after checking my email. Then I will go to some other sites and always come back to this one multiple times! I am an addict.

Hahaha!, Beergal and I talked about that yesterday. We are both students, but we hang out here while studying. When I'm writing on my computer, I take 5 minute pauses every... 10 minutes or so ! Addicted you said ???

There was another thread about this subject. I'll go find it, you'll see Futboller, you're not alone at all !

There's irony that the "support group" for TP addiction is all travelpunks!

I guess we won't be healing soon...

I thought we had a thread on the exact same subject, but I've found this instead. This won't help, it's a love letter to travelpunk.com ! Why I love travelpunk.com ?.
Like alcoholics telling eachothers how good it is to drink !

Looks like I'm going to be going into withdrawal shortly - my husband is going to Romania next week and is taking both the camera and the computer.

Yeah, but I can't pile my kids into the car and drive to the library at 10 pm when I'm bored, unfortunately! I'll just have to wait a week.

No, I'll be fine, really.
