Hi, My Name is Dawn (Hi Dawn) and I am a BLOG SURFER…
I thought it must be about time for me to admit to one of my weaknesses I have developed on the internet. I have fallen in love with blogging, and well along with that comes my addiction to blog surfing/stalking sometimes.
I find myself laughing or crying at complete strangers comments, pictures, and LOVE to poke around from friend to friend on each site. I always think “Humm… I wonder if THEY know someone I Know???” and well… sometimes they do… I have come across people I knew from YEARS and YEARS ago, or random people from High School I never thought I would see again. And to think… I can “Secretly” look in on anyone’s life, see their children, etc… then I think to myself “Do I comment?” “do I need to explain how I came across their blogspot site?” “will they think I am crazy for clicking randomly till I found them???” Still… I do it… sometimes I comment…. Sometimes I don’t…
If you are a blog surfer/stalker I hope you will comment and let the WORLD know…
Some other addictions some people may have….

EGO-SURFING: When you frequently check your name and reputation on the Internet.
BLOG STREAKING: “Revealing secrets or personal information online which for everybody’s sake would be best kept private.”
CRACKBERRY: “The curse of the modern executive: not being able to stop checking your BlackBerry, even at your grandmother’s funeral.”
BLOG-STALKING: Defined as “snooping online on old friends, colleagues or first dates.”
CYBERCHONDRIA: “A headache and a particular rash at the same time? Extensive online research tells you it must be cancer.”
PHOTOLURKING: Flicking through a photo album of someone you’ve never met.
MYSPACE IMPERSONATION: Many of us pretend to be someone we’re not when we are online, but some will pretend to be a well-known figure
WIKIPEDIHOLISM: Excess devotion to contributing to the online collaborative encyclopedia, Wikipedia. (Wikipedia even has a page where you can test whether you’re an addict

i laugh, because i think i have a few of those maladys!
Hi Dawn, my name is Jennifer and I too have this addiction. Recently, I've had to structure my day so that only after I get all my chores done can I have my reward of blog surfing.
So sad that I fall under all those categories except for the "crackberry" one and that's just because I don't own a Blackberry. How pathetic, huh?
Okay not going to admit which ones, but I totally have a few of those :)
I am pleased to say I only come close to almost having one of those addictions, I only occasionally blog stalk.
Okay- you said you were hoping people would comment. I found you exactly how you described. I don't know if you remember me, but we were friends about a million years ago in New Providence. I just wanted to tell you that your children are beautiful, and I am so glad you are doing so well. If you do remember me, I would love to hear from you.
