Zilvia.net Addicts

[Flybert]

Anyone ever feel like their zilvia browsing habits exhibit serious compulsive behavior? I'm on here like 24-7 reading about 240's and people's fucking random shit even until 3,4, or even 5 AM at times. I'm pretty sure I fall into the category of people that are prone to addiction. My life has always been a transition from one addiction to another and zilvia and my 240 are it right now. I don't know if it can be considered an addiction though. I can easily drop it like it's hot but I don't feel like it. Fortunately for me, it's not a chemichal addiction, but that costs money and I'm not prone to doing that. Read on and find out why.

Before, it was all about learning to speak Japanese, learning about Japanese culture, and trying to get on the JET program. I am also the kind of person that has many hobbies and a lot of good friends to do them with.

I feel like I'm a restless person, always looking for something fun to do. Is it bad to always to be doing something fun or interesting? Is it weird that anytime I'm at home in my room, I turn on my comp, type in www.random240site.com and read the crazy antics of Aaron and his insano car project, Society mike and his life in japan, nitekids and his rim bashing comments, twitchy and his crazy vlsd stickers, John Doe 1,2,3,4 and 5 who recently got into accidents with their cars?

I have to admit that I am a recent college graduate that still lives at home but for what reason you ask. Of course it's to save money so I can spend more on my car. I have been waiting many moons for the chance to work on a suitable sporty vehicle but is my obsession something to be concerned about? Let it be known that I am not in debt to CC companies but now I see how a person could. Although I have avoided CC debt, I have abused my priviledges as a boyfriend by borrowing my GF's living expense school loan money to jump on GB's and deals that I felt that couldn't be passed up. I have paid her back in full but should I be apart of some AAA or more precisely, a 240AA group?

I have a job where a computer isn't readily available to look at during work hours but the first chance I get when I'm on a break is to go to a computer and see what's going on with the 240 world. Should I be weeping onto the chest of a big man with tits pretending I'm terminally ill to get rid of this anxiety and tension that consumes me? Sometimes I wonder about these things and now that I think about it, I should probably have a website and a dedicated journal for this type of thinking.

wonderful post...

quite entertaining...thanks

and i'm with you..i'm on here and FA at least 8 hours a day...

[Flybert]

I've noticed.

There are a few other Late Night Zilvia members as I like to call them around here as well that I'm sure will chime in pretty soon.

[nokeone]

haha...you noticed..that's funny..i'm never sure what my image on these boards is like..guess i know one aspect of it now..

we need to form a late night crew..the consistant late nighters..lol..or we could just be called the late night losers..

[ootranceformeroo]

ahha count me in too! im still here.....but will be going to bed soon b/c i have school tomarrow! + i dont get to chill at work on the forums like some of you!

[Flybert]

I've also noticed you are one of the consistent Late Night Zilvia members. I'm thinking of one more that might chime in but I'm not sure he will.

I've noticed that we all have the same habits because I was wondering if I was the only one. I would check who's posting and who's online. I guess I'm off to bed because I have a long day planned for tomorrow.

[nokeone]

bah!..it's only 3:30am..work in 5 1/2 hours for me..lol..ok, ok..i guess it's bed time..

[mrmephistopheles]

wait..
i dont understand..
are you guys saying that some of you.. maybe even MOST of you actually leave your computer? ...to like... do other stuff?? I don't get it! I mean.. I have to make a walk to the fridge or the shitter every so often like anyone else... but it seems like you guys are talking about LONG periods of time.. like 5 minutes or more! WTF?
What can you possibly DO away from the computer? Doesn't it scare you?

[fastpace]

very good post. I am always on the computer now because it is cold as sin outside and cable tv sucks most of the time. It is funny, last night I was just going to take a couple of pics of my car and my mom asked me are you obessed with your car? I was like wtf, I just wanted to take a pic. Well I guess I am alittle, but still, oh well I will do what I feel that is fun.

Hey Flybert, I am or was taking Japanese to learn the language and trying to learn more about the culture, but I feel that my school's Japanese language courses suck(don't teach enough), so I plan to take classes outside of college.

[Bbandit]

yea i used to be like that.. thats why i managed to get this 1800+ posts... but now things changed..
im on zilvia mostly from work because i dont have that much of a spare time anymore.. i planned to graduate by the end of this year and the classes im taking are and will be hellzinki

[ca18guy]

Zilvia has been blocked at my work
Luckily I still spend alot of time online at home, I have to much spare time on my hands.

[sykikchimp]

I know me and Kevin are on here ALL DAY LONG sometimes.. I used to be on zilvia 10+ hrs a day.. now that I live with my woman, she consumes all my time at home..

Since I became a mod I post less.

[BadMoJo]

Although I dont post that much (1500+ but thats since sept 01) I am still here waaaaaaaay to much. Not a single day has gone by that I dont visit Zilvia... If I have any sort of net access I am on zilvia.

I am a lurker at heart, so I figure if I was a post whore like dousan I would have like 10k posts by now. '

What would be cool to have is an "hours logged in" stat.... I dont even want to know how high that would be.

It gets to that point in the night when you know you should really be going to bed but you just can't because zilvia keeps you awake. Then you go ahead and look at all the names that are still logged in and notice the same damn names and it's a lot of these people in this thread. This only works for westcoast people though.

It's always good to be responding to an early morning east coast post and confirm the fact that you are a loser or are seriously compulsive about checking this board.

[ootranceformeroo]

hahaha that is TOTALLY true!.....late at night, time for bed, eyes red, gonna stay on until ive read ALL the new interesting posts!

...when will it ever end...


eh....its almost 5pm (westcoast time) and im gonna take a nap now....even slept in almost all my classes!

[nokeone]

damn students!..wish i was a student again...can't wait for grad school next year!!

[West]

I dont think my baby understands my addiction to my own site. She wont let me be long enough to post! Kevin, how do you do it?!

Glad to see you guys need a 240sx AA Club. Maybe I could start 240sxAnonymous.com. hheehe. "Hello, my name is Mark, and... Im addicted to 240sx suspension and boost... I hope this meeting will help me meet other 240sx junkies who will get me parts for cheaper". hehe

I dont post as much anymore, but im still here almost 24/7. I haven't had my 240 on the road in 4 months. Got caught with a baby and a unfinished 5 lug swap along with 1000 other things, so expense's shifted and the car just sat on the jack stands. But no longer! Me and Irena will finish it this weekend! FINALLY.

[method2833]

WHEW!!! i thought i was the only one addicted to zilvia staying on till at least 6am every night or until my eyes burn way to much where it hurts to even blink GOD I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!west your the man thanx

[ootranceformeroo]

West, are you gonna post pics when your done?

[West]

I will. I just got invited to go snowboarding for 30$ on Sat. So Im going to do that, and I know ima been beat as hell sunday when I work on the car, my baby will be able to torque stuff down better then I can on sunday. lol

Ill take pics, but I need a alignment as soon as I get everything done, still havent got one after all the crap ive done to the car. Ill adjust the RUCA so the wheels will fit without rubbing the 255's in the rear.
