midibuddy addiction

[tammy]

how long do you spend wandering around in this site? tonight i have spent nearly two hours. last night i had to force myself not to go on. once i am on i have difficulty getting off!
of course, this site leads me to others too... so it goes on.
no more tv, no more social life, much less sleep, never mind other things.
aaaaaaaaaaaaah. i am addicted to midibuddy.
t:hit:

[ZelRiptha]

It seems Si had a similar problem... (http://board.midibuddy.net/t9226.html)

Nothing wrong in that Tammy, as long as you're having fun! :thumbsup:

[Zandro]

I think I have been on MIDIBuddy more in school today than in my classes!

[ZelRiptha]

BTW, if it's not evident, I surf here on and off all day at work... :o

Don't tell... :)

[Zandro]

I shouldn't be on right now either. If my math teacher catches me typing this instead of taking the practice HSEE, he'll kill me.

[ZelRiptha]

Gosh, do you have a laptop at school or something?

*feels old*

:)

[Zandro]

Nah, he brought us to the library's computer lab to take an online version. I only scored a C.

[ZelRiptha]

What is an "HSEE"?

[Zandro]

High School Exit Exam. I will take my first stab at it in the beginning of February.

[ZelRiptha]

Ahh.. sounds intimidating. Is it hard? Is it required to graduate then? (thus the name...)?

Schooltime surfage... must be nice! :)

[xj911]

I'm addicted too....to beer. I don't really think that's the same but oh well....

[tavenger5]

Yeh, I have the same problem. :)

[middinone]

I like beer in my wheaties for breakfast. MMMM

[Zandro]

Is it hard? Is it required to graduate then?

It is not too hard, but I am freaked out by the Language Arts essay portion. I have NEVER been able to compile an essay worth reading. :( The only reason I am passing English with a B is because of how much the grade is leaned toward vocabulary. Heh, back in the fourth grade, I scored a 12+ grade reading level, but I have never gotten interested in reading. Yes, it is required to graduate, but it's not study-or-die. The Math portion of the exam goes up to simple geometry; no trig, no calculus- .. no calculators. Does McDonalds Sell Burgers and Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally is all I really need to remember, I hope.

[jeaniesing]

Just proof of my geekdom... I LIVED for those standardized tests... thought they were the most fun part of school!

if there's anyone here who can attest to addictive properties in MB... its.. ummm.. SI! (http://board.midibuddy.net/vbstats.php?action=topposters) Yeah... Si... I don't have a problem... can quit anytime... yeah...

[ZelRiptha]

Arr, I Think you're right that lots of reading makes for better writing. Aren't there any subjects that interest you enough to read about? Or types of literature? It's not a crisis situation, but if you can get used to and enjoy reading, it can make many things in your life (especially your education) easier.

Heh, I'd almost forgotten about PEMDAS. (Order of operations, correct?) But what is Does McDonald's Sell Burgers?

But it sounds like you'll do fine. :)

[Zandro]

what is Does McDonald's Sell Burgers?

Well, something like that, but it is the order of operations for division. Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Bring down. It is an old method, but it works for me.

[ZelRiptha]

Ahhhh. Gotcha. ;)

[G-man]

Heh heh I'm with you there Jeanie I love taking tests... :thumbsup:

Addictions? ...ummm what addictions (http://board.midibuddy.net/vbstats.php?action=topposters)? :eek:...

You just keep telling yourself that J. You might be the only one that believes it but keep telling yourself that. ;)

Yes, I was addicted. And still go Cold Turkey if I can't get my daily fix - which, is a bit of a problem at present....:rolleyes:

[johnrowley]

Not been on over Christmas and New Year due to being ill and suffered withdrawal symptoms form browising the interesting subjects and music! Must carry on arranging some more myself!

[alcozma]

...since I've been hanging out at the new cellphoneforums I realise how funny and original the middibuddy members are - yep I'm addicted to reading all the witty banter over here LOL

[tammy]

i love this site. thats the nice thing about this addiction. i think most addicts hate what they do, but this... this is a good addiction. the only bill i ring up, is a huge telephone bill. i dont go out, i make a good mom. i make a good girlfriend - barefoot and at the computer.
hmmm i feel a country song coming up. no i dont, i dont particularly like country... how about a blues song...

i dont go out no more
just hang around at home (repeat)
yeah i said (repeat as above)
uhum
cos i got those good ole midi buddy blues.......

hmmmmmmmmm
i am sure a lotofya can write better blues lyrics than those
how about a lyrics competition for those midibuddy blues?

LOL! Jeanie I was almost afraid to open YOUR link about your addiction until I clicked it and it was the same as mine! *whew* ;)

But, now Jeanie are you certain you don't have any other addictions (http://www.tagmag.com/features/sex_addict_quiz.html)? :smart:

Do tell what you score! Mine was a B

[vbrio]

honestly, i keep mb open in my pc in the office. though i keep it minimized and just sneak a few peaks every once in a while.

I love midibuddy. It's really not costing my job, friends, family and sanity!!!! I tell you it isn't!!!! IT ISN'T!!!!!!!

me..i'm so addicted to MB..like most of em i came for the midis to use as ringtones and i got most of em..so i told myself 'no more MB' cuz there was a time i spent at least 90minutes a day here..but well, what then is an addiction if i managed to stop myself?
woohooo!! it's been just a year now and i'm still here!!!

[saxmidiman]

You're only 90 minutes a day?!

That's not a problem.

Come to think of it, I wonder how much time Jeanniesing spends on here?

How much time a day does it take before it becomes a problem?
:(

[ski_power]

Jeanie i thought you said you were a teacher. How do teachers get homework?
I thought only students(like us) get loads of homework, the pressure exerted by an elephant would pale away in front of which we get.

[WW1000]

Yeah, that's a good one!

[saxmidiman]

You wouldn't beleive the amount of work a teacher has. I teach guitar and the amount of work per student can be pretty amazing. Good teachers must always find new things and new ways to instruct. Midibuddy is our way to get away from the hassles of our work. By the way, how's your sequencing project going with the Pink Floyd fanatic Jeanie.

[jeaniesing]

he's switched some gears and is doing an original now.... discovering the wonders of MIDI :)

[saxmidiman]

Yeah I think that's a good idea. It's hard enough to do the initial work just on guitar, let alone the synth, drums and other stuff. I remember starting midi back in 1984 with an old Apple 2+ doing Rush. It was horrible.

Can we make your student a MB addict?

It could be fun. We'll eventually have to pair him up with Black Kat and really torment him.

Geez yea i ain't the worst here but it was once an addiction...with the tonnes of homework i had to do i still spent loadsa time here...
i managed to control the addiction though hehe..and the secret is simple - time constrain...just throw it in and voila, look at me, i come here barely once a week!!! but i still can't stop once i start posting....

[Nath]

i had an addiction, i think at my peak of 100 posts per day i was on here..........WAY TOO MUCH lol

But you only have 8 posts... did you spam or something and get banned and had to start over?

I am obvioulsy not a midibuddy addict. I have been addicted in other forums, though. I would literally sit for hours going into every topic in every forum over and over on this one message board. I was the top poster for a while, but then I got grounded, and I fell greatly behind....My current addiction is neopets (http://www.neopets.com/refer.phtml?username=tamer_takato_matsuda)...

[Nath]

no, i didnt get banned for spamming, i got banned for being a twat and swearing too much! although a few posts did stray from topics, but everyone does that!

[G-man]

Ah I wondered what it was... and you lost all your posts too? (or we they just all junk posts?!?) Hey, where is Tammy at? Haven't seen her around much lately... now where was I?

[tammy]

helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooo
its meeeeeeeeeee,
just eating too much chocolate and birthday cake!
my son is having his fouth birthday tomorrow on the beach.
can anyone tear themselves away from midibuddy and join us on the beach here in sunny (usually at this time, but drizzling a bit) south africa?

all midibuddies welcome!

[saxmidiman]

Sorry can't do.

I'm addicted.

So bad I have no money to fly down. I don't make any more dough cause I'm stuck on this thread.

My son just turned three just a few weeks ago. Great age. Can't get addicted to stuff at that age. Oooh the times I can remember. The freedom to leave the keyboard and breathe fresh air and.... oh crap, the boss is coming I got to sign off.

[tammy]

yup 4 is a great age now. he communicates (non stop)....
we had a great beach party. fishing nets for the kids.
and food for everyone.
i understand the dough part... sticky business. i wish i was stuck in the dough rather than on this thread though!
sigh.
