Impact on your life
 
Often sitting in class, my mind drifts to the Internet, this isn't the only time, however, as this is the case in other places too. How about you, do you often think about the Internet, specifically PC, as well as members in real life situations? Does it make any impact on your thought patterns? That said, does PC make an impact on any aspect of your actual life?

... amazingly, this isn't inspired by another thread. XD; Though not sure whether it needs an actual discussion. :x

I'd like to think that anything that has made both an impression and significant impact on you can actually influence your train of thought everyday, especially the internet. But PC hardly makes much of an impact on me nowadays since I pretty much come here to do so little. Some of the members, however, I think about a lot. I think about my friends here very often. But more than anything, I worry and think about one person in particular all the time, and thinking about him brings me a lot of warmth.

Aizuke February 3rd, 2009 3:49 AM

I don't really think about PC itself, so it doesn't really influence or affect my life in any way.

I do think about people from PC, mainly my close friends. I wonder what they're doing, how their life is where they live, and what kind of conversations I'll have with them when I get home.

But like Signomi, there is one person I think about a lot, my mind is constant about them, and it makes me feel happy inside when I do think about him. :3

No, it won't unless I'm made a staff member, because then we'd be juggling time.

devilicious February 3rd, 2009 7:19 AM

Hm, like most said, I don't think about PC itself, but about the friends I have here.

Nothing much to say as my thoughts were pretty much covered by Signomi and Aizuke.

Spinor February 3rd, 2009 7:32 AM

PC never affects my thoughts. It actually does me good as it kills all the extra time I have in my hands when homework is low.

Although it does cause me weird dreams, like one I had when Beach Boy becomes a "Site Admin" O-o'

According to the FAQ, I'm going crazy...

Yeah, same. I have the feeling that'll be the same answer for everyone.

EmeraldSky February 3rd, 2009 9:12 AM

I mainly thing about the RPs I have going, my fics, and the people I've met here

Unforgettable February 3rd, 2009 9:18 AM

I dont' really think about PC, but I do think about some of the people I have met here. I have a few real close friends, my BFFL, and then one person who is very dear to me. So yeah :3

Rioku_Zanketa February 3rd, 2009 12:03 PM

I think nothing of this place until I see it stored in my favorites section.

so I think it's safe for me to say no.

Aegis February 3rd, 2009 12:04 PM

In the little bit of time I'm not at my computer, I usually do think about the internet, yeah. More specifically, people from the internet. My friends are the most important people to me, so... yeah <3

PC itself? I think about it some, not as much as other things though.

kissing. raindrops February 3rd, 2009 2:48 PM

Well actually I used to have 2 really great friends that I cared about whom I met through PC I guess. (One from another forum, but he goes on PC as well)
Since now I've drifted away from both of them, I don't think about them, only rarely.

As for PC, I never think about it in real life. I have other things to think about.
The most I think about is a guy I met over another forum, whom I have become very close to. Although, he has a girlfriend, but I like him.

♣Gawain♣ February 3rd, 2009 4:53 PM

Hardly. I do have some friends here whom I can chat, but it doesn't distract me from doing other important things.

Caelus February 3rd, 2009 8:40 PM

I think about the internet during those times where school and life is in the way. Don't why, to be honest, but I think about it; Furthermore, I only think about some of my friends here, like everyone has already mentioned. But I guess I think about the forum itself every once in awhile.

Same.

Karin18 February 3rd, 2009 8:44 PM

not sure, just joined today, so, wouldn't have happened yet

Guillermo February 4th, 2009 12:22 AM

I don't think about PC, but I think about certain people and I always miss them.

matt561 February 4th, 2009 2:46 AM

Well myself yes i do think about PC somtimes i think to myself"I wonder whats going on."

just at random points of the day

Tater Tot February 4th, 2009 6:39 AM

PC is my life. When I get up in the morning, I get on PC. I always check everything on it, check those who are online. I'm purely addicted to it, and it's probably been one of the biggest impacts in my life so far.

Melody February 4th, 2009 12:06 PM

PC definitely has had an impact on my life. While I'm not at all what anyone would define as an active member, the things I come across while online, and while at PC do indeed affect me in many ways. Although I dont exactly have one special person who brings me that warmth when I think of them (Like any one of you paired people might) I do have a sort of PC family which I tend to enjoy being around. Those people are the few people I bother trying to converse with outside of PC and they're all wonderful people whom I greatly respect.

Gerri Shin February 4th, 2009 7:50 PM

Yeah this place has actually, most of the time when I'm staring off into space I'm thinking about how I can use what limited knowledge I have of CSS to make a great looking forum skin (for Mybb and LB, and maybe VB) and this in turn leads me into seeing just how I might implement it into wither my signature or somewhere else. also there are a couple people here that I have random thoughts about.

Soul Eater February 5th, 2009 10:30 AM

I'm always thinking of PC when I'm not at my laptop. The reason for this is because I know this is heard a lot but, the friends I have here are probably the only friends that I'll ever have.

Being as autistic as I am, it's hard meeting people when you don't know what to say. You tend to feel really uncomfortable and also, when you have terrible trust issues, like me, it's just so hard to have all kinds of friends.

I do have one best friend named Tyler. He is my offline best friend but I don't get to see him much. Tyler and his family are usually busy.

I also have a very severe form of Separation Anxiety, as crazy as that also sounds. I have the mind of a child so I am very attached to my parents, this makes it very hard to go out with anyone without my parents there.

the bitter end. February 5th, 2009 11:04 AM

PC, eH?

Well, it's taught me Chatspeak, Graphics, and some Japanese. so overall, I suppose it has had an effect on my life.

~SilverSoul February 5th, 2009 3:02 PM

I guess it has little impact on my life. I'm into rps, so I usually think what I might write about and so forth during the school hours (especially when the day is really dull like today). I guess sometimes I do think about some of the other members and how their day is possibly going (like a bunch of people have mentioned). Sometimes it's even fun to think about these rule-enforcing staff members as regular students sitting in a classroom or something. I think about a whole bunch of random stuff about PC a lot during the day.

Wish February 5th, 2009 3:08 PM

It's had a dramatic impact on my life. May of the people I meet on PC, I think of over school, until I get a text message from one of my friends on PC. It really has affected my life on the Internet as well. I have gathered a whole group of friends on PC that would probably never happen in real life. I will never forget the friends I made at PC. <3

Donnie February 5th, 2009 8:30 PM

i never think about PC, i do think about friends i meet over PC but not the forum itself
