So, a few weeks ago I switched internet plans with my provider, down to the lowest bandwidth they had available. I did this to save money because I thought it was a good idea to save a few $$!

As of a few days ago, I get a notification saying I've used up 75% of my allocated bandwith for the month. Which I thought wouldn't be an issue.

Until today, when I get online and start checking my emails.

It is the 22nd of the month, and yours truly has used up ALL OF HER FREAKING BANDWIDTH FOR THE ENTIRE FREAKING MONTH.

I am not very pleased with myself, they're charging $5 per whatever up to a maximum of $25. So I've already made peace with the fact I'm going to be getting a $25 fee on top of my bill next month. So I think I'm switching back to the previous internet plan I was on.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think I'm addicted to the internet.

My sleeping patterns are amok - it is 4am, and I'm awake. That's only because I woke up at 6PM yesterday BECAUSE I SLEPT ALL DAY. I went to bed at like 2am yesterday too...

Took DocJohn's Internet Addiction quiz (which should be taken with a grain of salt I know) and it said "Internet Addiction Likely". http://psychcentral.com/quizzes/netaddiction.htm

Yeah, I'm addicted. Now what am I going to do...
