1. How much time do you spend on the Internet daily? Heh, hours and hours. When I get wrapped up in fanfic, I loose all track.

3. Do you eat at your computer? Yep. I even take it upstairs to the kitchen for lunch.

1. How much time do you spend on the Internet daily?
Ha. I'm a reporter, so I'm online all day long, either checking e-mail or researching a story, or looking up legislation. It's a constant in my life. Many, many hours.
2. What are your favorite 3 websites?
Probably Google, various LJs and various news sites ... on the second two, I don't think I can pick favorites.
3. Do you eat at your computer?
I totally do, even though I shouldn't. I do it mostly at work, and sometimes at home, but not as often.
4. Pick one and why - Reading the news online or in a newspaper?
EASY. Newspaper, hands down. Of course, I might be a little biased, since I work for one. Still, I enjoy having a hard copy ... of everything. News and everything else. I don't like reading news and/or serious business online.
5. How many people are on your instant messenger buddy list?
That I have no idea ... a dozen or two? I haven't been on instant messenger in a looooong time.

1. How much time do you spend on the Internet daily?

It can range between 10-15 hours a day. I am a programmer for a University who do a lot of stuff online, so I am on the internet all day, then a few hours at home.

2. What are your favorite 3 websites?

Hattrick.org, Livejournal.com, pvponline.com

3. Do you eat at your computer?

Often, yes.

4. Pick one and why - Reading the news online or in a newspaper?

I do both. I read the Sydney Morning Herald online when I get into work every day, then at morning tea, I read the local paper and the Australian if it's available. What else would I do at morning tea? :P

5. How many people are on your instant messenger buddy list?

Not as many as there used to be. I had close to 100 when I ran ICQ and MSN, now I only run MSN and only have about 40-50 people on my list.
