I am addicted to words, written more so than spoken. The internet only exacerbates this problem for me; I spend time hopping back and forth between email accounts, as well as checking lj, for contact and/or information. Instant messengering is a faster form of the drug I need, and I use that when and where I can as well. It's not the constant flow of information, per se, that I crave; information without context is largely meaningless, at least to me. It's the contact, the sadly pathetic drive for finding or building a context, a community, based upon the written word. I'm beginning to feel like a throwback.

I think we all do that. There are times when I'll find myself irked, because I didn't receive email within the 5 minutes since I had last checked. It's enjoyable and comforting.

Damned pesky human traits.

I'll second what fairyhead said.

But if people do contact me with words on a regular basis, I begin to freak out because I'm afraid I won't be able to answer it all... and when I begin to fear that, I stop replying to anything and it really becomes a vicious cycle.

meh.
