WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

So you say you are not an addict?

Posted over 2 years ago
So here we are Sunday night, and MOG is back up and running. Almost a whole day without our beloved MOG, and you are still trying to say you are not addicted. I have a feeling many of you have been spending a better part of your day staring at a little hamster by the name of Schloopy. I can say for myself that I had tried numerous times to get on, and was disappointed everytime I was denied. I made up a little chart so you can see where you fall in amongst us addicts.Times you checked:0 times - What you didn't know MOG was down, welcome to the party period mogger.1 times - You checked in the morning, saw it was down and went about your daily life. The key here is that you have a social life, and are not as drawn to MOG as lets say myself.2-3 times - You felt an urge to see what was happening in the Mog-o-sphere and that was about it. I would call you a recreational drug user if that helps. Welcome to the party Miss USA.4-5 times - Its becoming a problem but we know you can quit any time you would like6-7 times - Time for the much needed intervention. Not only do you miss reading other MOG's, you spent most of your day thinking of the best ideas for a post once it was back up. Writing about the treadmill video is not a good idea at this point.8-9 times - Hello Lindsay Lohan, your room is ready for you.10+ times - You are in my boat now, and your captain will be serving you as soon as possible. I found that I checked for MOG to be up more than this so I guess you can say I have an addiction. Could it be worse, yes it could. I will say that I did get a 6 mile run in, cooked salmon and went grocery shopping. I did manage to save some of my dignity, but needless to say I am happy to have MOG back!So, how addicted are you fellow moggers?

  9. SamTheButcher says I kept checking because I had a message that *THE* Anna had responded to one of my MOGs, so I desperately wanted to know what she said. ;)

  10. Rawkkiddoh says I hope it was important and didn't have to deal with ROY G BIV

  11. SamTheButcher says Well, just a comment on my "live shows" MOG. Is there a rainbow connection that I'm missing? (Heh...Kermit in da house, y'all....)

  12. Zeroskilz says For a while, I was getting updates sent to me; so, I didn't have to check. Then I did my taxes. :( So, I'm probably only in the 5 range.

  14. Dale says About 10 times, with a five-hour break for church in between. I left for a birthday party right before MOG came back. M kept me quite busy, though. ;)

  15. Librarianguish says Let's see...I think it was 4-5. Or maybe 6-7. I lost track. But I have a life, really I do! The only reason I didn't check more was that the kid was on the computer - he gets a turn too.

  16. Rawkkiddoh says Sam, a friend of mine was giving her some grief about the whole ROY G BIV thing on a previous post. Zero, taxes already way to beat the rush! Dainamyte, I am equally as happy. Dale, whose birthday is it? Librarianguish, yes kids deserve a shot as well, I wonder does the kid have a MOG page. Nothing says love through a shared addiction!

  17. Librarianguish says Not yet - but he's got a very sophisticated sense of music already! He hasn't quite gotten into written expression yet. But if I have my way.... He's just 12, but already shakes his head at the emo kids and thinks the music they play at the school dances sucks. He and I like a lot of the same music. He's also exposed to a GOOD music at his dad's (Neil Young, Allman Brothers, etc.) - thank goodness! It's good to get to them while they're young...heh heh heh....

  18. Dale says Today we celebrated the birthdays for my sister-in-law and the other sister-in-law's husband. It was kinda funny, as this was the first big dinner we've had since we all started dieting, so there were loads of veggies; sauteed mushrooms and onions, broccoli and green beans.

  19. Zeroskilz says Dale, I'm afraid I'd have starved to death at that meal. Rawk, I need that money back to buy more music. And a new iPod. I've only got about 200 meg left on my 60GB. I've got to start finding stuff to pull off.

  20. Rawkkiddoh says My thoughts exactly Libra, thats why I would play so many different cd's in my classroom before school started. I loved it when I got kids turned on to new music. My two favorites were I got one kid to like Belle and Sebastian and another to like NOFX. Dale.....sauteed mushrooms would have been my fungi of choice. I made them with the Salmon Cakes I prepared tonight.

  21. Rawkkiddoh says Zero, I dont know what to say. Have you gotten help would be one thing I guess! I know I am in the same boat however, I have my list ready for when the checks start coming back in.

  22. Dale says Oh Mike, it wasn't just veggies, we had some chicken as well. Nevertheless, it was really good, although I think the sister-in-law's husband (not the one with the birthday) was pretty upset, as he continues to glory in his fatness.

  23. Zeroskilz says Yeah Rawk, I got help. They sent me to this AA for music addicts called MOG. It only made it worse. :) Ah, well heck Dale. I can eat me some chicken (and green beans too if the truth's to be told). As a matter of fact, I cooked chicken today. And now, it's 11:30 and I'm suddenly hungry. I guess that's why I buy those damned Girl Scout cookies. They're going to kill me.

  24. Rawkkiddoh says What kind did you buy Zero, I can never pass up the samosas.

  25. Zeroskilz says Thin mints Rawk; straight from the freezer. The only way to fly. I bought a case (yes a case) of them last year. I cut back to 9 boxes this year. Seemed healthier that way. :)

  26. Rawkkiddoh says Thin mints, my second favorite. Glad to see I am not the only one who prefers a cooled mint as well.

  27. etcvisitor says i never thought working a 10 hour shift would somehow save me from looking like a junkie. im sure if i hadnt been making pizzas i would have checked it at least 10 times... but didnt know it was down at all. what i mean to say is... you guys really checked it that much. yeah, i had better things to do *tries to keep a straight face*.

  31. Lyla says i'm not even telling you my score. sigh. but there's a DIFFERENCE between just keeping the internet page open and hitting refresh every once in awhile to see if it's come back, and physically typing in the address every few minutes because you're obsessed. i mean, isn't there?

  32. mutterimieli says I'd say I checked maybe 6-8 times, played on mulitply for awhile and then headed out ot my nephew's basketball game. Shloopy was caged by the time I got home, btw..I though Shloopy was a baby dwarf bunny?? :::shrugs:::

  34. Augusts1 says I'm cracking up at the fact that ya'll kept track of how many times you checked!!! I have no idea how many times I did but I'll fess up & say I periodically checked throughout an hour & a half, so I'm probably steering the damn boat, lmfao! YES I'M ADDICTED TO MOG! Are ya happy now Kev? I did go to the library to p/u some movies & then went shopping for pillows(mine are ancient) since I bought a new mattress set & comforter cover, so I did accomplish something today other than mogging, heh. Mmmmm, those salmon cakes sound slammin' Kev, YUM!

  35. chulsmith says coop:::why you gotta hate on biology, dude??? (or would it be physics as in physical properties of water droplets bending light?) ROY G BIV is my boy. and i'm a big nerd. the one time i checked mog it was up and running. i didn't even know it was down. but i guess that might be because i live in a "weird" time zone...

  36. B42 says 47 1/2 times, damn. (but I was being entertained by the Anna and Universalis so it wasn't that bad of a wait, lotta laughs, you just had to be there, not to be confused with being here)
    Permalink posted 02/12/2007
  37. Anna says I get pop up e-mail notifications via Yahoo Messenger, so I didn't have to check; I knew that once it would be up, a notification would pop. But you all know my level of addiction :) At least I went multiply nuts to ease the pain :)

  40. etcvisitor says man i wish i was getting crunk in chicago! rawk, i work at sir pizza in murfreesboro TN. the main st location (which is the only decent location, trust me customers know the difference and tell us that the other stores suck constantly). if your ever in the neighborhood i can score you half price or free depending on who the manager is.

  41. Rawkkiddoh says Never been to TN but pizza and a night of getting crunk would be to cool. Peggah, you up for it?

  42. Peggah says I didn't really get crunk... but my friend and I are totally making shirts that say "I went to Chicago and all I got was crunk!" We're special indeed!
