Oops i forgot to post the finished thing didn't I? I sent this to Arin in an email over a week ago, no reply but that was to be expected. I'll send it through the mail soon and hope for the best.

Back when I started out in old fashioned print journalism, my propensity to stalk people online (locating all their various blogs, and hunting down their aliases) was a freakish quality I tried to keep hidden. Now, having made a career out of being able to track down the right bloggers, I trumpet my slightly sinister abilities as though being a virtual curtain twitcher were something to be proud of.

This week I have been having a major spring clean (you know the sort where in order to tidy up you first need to empty out all your cupboards onto the floor until you’re wading in a pile of forgotten belongings) and I finally forced myself to do something with the huge box of old gadgets that has been sitting in my bedroom for years, gathering guilt.

I’ve known for a while, of course, but I’ve just been suppressing the truth. Now it’s time to come clean and admit it: the internet is stealing my life. It’s not just that I’m an addict (Hi, my name is Katie and I’m a weboholic) it’s also that the more time I spend reading about all the wonderful things the internet can do, the more time I spend on the internet trying to get those wonderful things to work.
