*you look for a way to make a comment after reading an article in a real magazine or book.
*the only way your kids can get your attention is by calling you by your Twitter handle. "@kelleysbreakroom, can I have some apple juice?!?"
*the books on your nightstand cry themselves to sleep each night and practice ways to revolt against you during the day. They also plan to take out your laptop, desktop, iPhone and Blackberry as soon as possible when they can find a plastic surgeon to give them hands and feet.

| The books on my actual nightstand. All of my books did not join in for this picture. More are sitting on my nightstand behind these picture hogs. More. And they're really, REALLY ANGRY. |
*you Skype to speak to someone upstairs.
*you say "FACEBOOK!!!" instead of "cheese" when taking pictures.
*everything that happens in life is turned into a tweet or a Facebook status update, including the delicious and unbelievable cereal recipe you made for breakfast (ingredients: cereal, milk). ("It's SO EASY to make, y'all!)
*the 1-800-GOT-JUNK truck from Hoarders shows up because you don't have time to clean up your house anymore- you've got blogs to read!

| That CD had "Every Little Step", "My Prerogative" AND "Don't Be Cruel"!!! Why did he have take it?? I've learned my lesson!! I'll clean! COME BACK! |
*you eat dinner while typing and can practically piece together a whole pizza (and an oatmeal creme pie) from the crumbs left under the &, R, =, @, g, /, [ and ; keys (plus some others).
*you use a laptop as your pillow.
*you carry your iPhone or iPad around with you like an oxygen tank. Related: when a fire breaks out, you look for one of those before a family member or your Bobby Brown CD.

Ohmygoodness I just tried your cereal recipe! In a word: faboo!
Hahahahahaha!!!
I'm looking for a way to permanently attach my iPhone to my hand.
Ummmm...you might be talking about me.
BTW, Look Me in the Eye was fantastic, and I've heard great things about the Guernsey book that I'm too lazy to scroll back up and get the whole title of. :)
I put my books on my phone so I never ever ever have to put it down. Life is better that way. I feel disoriented without it.
Hahaha...I have a stack of unread books too. They are very jealous of my Kindle!
Ack! Some of these hit very close to home!
Haha, yeah, you just described me... Sounds like it's time to step away from the computer. After I've checked Facebook just one more time. And maybe tweeted that I checked Facebook. And then pinned that tweet on Pinterest. And then "liked" the pin on Stumbleupon. Which of course I have to blog about. And the blog automatically posts to my Facebook. *sigh*
You totally crack me up. Love these.
Those were great, and scarily true!
Hahahaha, so that's what happened to my computer the last couple of days!
My house must have pulled the plug on the internet in some jealous rage cause we were without and I was going into MAJOR withdrawls!!
Thanks to your post, you cleared up the mystery!
yikes. guilty guilty guilty.
I get annoyed that I can't just "link back" to something I've said before in conversation and actually have to repeat/explain myself to other people. Adding in a link would be much easier...
And I would like to implement the "Leave discussion" Facebook option into real life conversations as well. In other words, sometimes I prefer social media to actual social contact. No shame ;)
You realize you misspelled your OWN Twitter name in this article, right?
Anyone who tells you that I recognized myself in any of these is lying.
LYING.
Pearl
Hahahahaha!! I nearly peed myself laughing about that laptop pizza!
(I have totally done the first thing on the list, ack)
Absolutely LOVE this post. :D
I so don't even want to look under my computer keys to see what kind of crumbs live there!
My fave was the "Facebook" "Cheese" example.
People who only take pictures for the express purpose of posting them online are sad sad souls... *sobs*
Ok -
1. There should ALWAYS be a way to comment.
B. I've had to put all books into a locked room so they do not abscond with my electronics.
and...
3. My iPad is my security blanket. What about it?
Love it! My iPhone is attached to me. Also? I use hashtags in real conversations. #ImAddicted
Thank you. I now have "My Prerogative" on repeat in my head. :)
LoL. Too funny!
I have my own stack of books to read that I've had since Christmas!
I did manage to read Sarah's Key though.
I can't believe they took your Bobby Brown cd...That's just not right.
Wow. Yeah, this could be me. Except fo the one thing. I'm not posting anything and everything on Facebook anymore. I seem to have lost my mojo.
Lol! I must need extra oxygen- always have my iPhone in my pocket and iPad in my hand it feels like. I even use my iPad for recipes for cooking dinner :)
Great Blog!!! Love it!!!

Hysterical - lol
The box illustration is adorably funny. I love it. And the twitter handle cracked me up, as did every thing else. You are crazy funny.
Wait. You put milk on your cereal? Genius! I'm totally writing down that recipe.
Oftentimes I'll hear someone say something funny, and I'll immediately think, "Retweet!" or, "Like button!", then I'm all, "Wait. That was out loud. And not online. Clare, you have a problem..."
Thank goodness Al Gore invented the Internet.
KKell, these were great, very funny...but also scarily close to the truth!
My nightstand and your nightstand could get together and lead a rebellion.
*you say "FACEBOOK!!!" instead of "cheese" when taking pictures.
LOLOLOL! I think I've witnessed this. Hilarious!
This is definitely what I feel like most days! Not only do I blog on the computer, but blogging is pretty much my job...I mean, designing blogs, so it's worse!
I'm trapped in this world all day long, but the day my family starts screaming at me "@FRILLYCOCONUT, we need you!", I'm convinced outsiders will think THEY are crazy, not me. Score with the Twitter handle!

Comments make me feel like I'm not talking to the wall. Don't get me wrong. I love talking to walls. Some of my best friends are walls. Still, I like hearing from you, so thanks!
