You know your addicted to BOS when? (2 Viewers)

[clairegirl]

So... it's my day off and I'm bored so forgive me, lets make a list!

You know when your addicted to Macquarie BOS when:

• Youou feel the need to check BOS at least once a day
• You feel excited checking the forums after being away a few days
• You feel the need to share everything MACQ related with everyone on BOS
• You don't think anyone on BOS is a random
• You stick up for anyone from Macq BOS if they're being attacked by other non-macq bos'ers.
• You try not to get involved if theres tension between two MACQ boser's
• You think there's nothing wrong with stalking
• You recommend BOS to only people you think would appreciate us
• If theres something wrong with WEBCT you feel the need to vent/share it with BOS
• You think of BOS as another facet of your life .. i.e ur uni friends, ur highschool friends, ur work friends...ur BOS friends lol
• You have met at least two people from BOS in real life
• You get excited if you hear someone talking about BOS in the real world
• You know that Skittled and MaryJane are a couple
• You come on BOS BEFORE and AFTER exam results have been released
• You have a question but instead of emailing the appropriate people or looking at FAQ you come on BOS to ask it instead

Hehehe not that EYE do any of that stuff

• You are on BOS at 4am onwards and you're still posting on about random chat while that last 300 words for your essay remain unwritten
• This is the first stop for any information regarding MQ
• Find that you're trying to find classes other BOSers are in
• Make new friends, then realise they're BOSers when you both post about the same event
• Call out to people at uni using their online names
• Are invited to SkittledxMaryJane's wedding
  
  err almost forgot:
  
• Have stalked me, and then proceeded to tell me either through a post in a random thread or PM'ed me saying OGM I SAY YOU ASSS-EEEEEE

LOL i'm guilty of whole calling ppl out by their BOS names in real life.

LOL @ skittledxMJ wedding, we could have an online wedding reception!

 

[AsyLum]

Haha, the event of 20xx!!!

:rofl:

• you find these funny because almost all are true
• you thought about making a thread like this a couple of days ago (true story)
• you're drawn here like a magnet and log on although you have nothing to say and really should be doing something else
• you are on computers at uni, finish checking your emails and find yourself typing in the address, because it's automatic
• you're so much more informed than other mac students (and wonder where they get their info from when they know something random that you learnt on here, but you never ask)
• you wonder why some of the more addicted webct posters haven't found BOS mac
• BOS mac is the first, and often only subforum you check when you log on
• being 'addicted' has taught you something about what it might feel like to have a real addiction
• you wonder where the other members are when they haven't posted for a while and you want the "who's online" box back so you know whether to leave
• you tell yourself it's better than msn because you're not tied to a convo, yet sometimes you still can't seem to leave

[Cyan_phoeniX]

hehe. i call asylum by his online name all the time. mike doesnt seem right....


anyone is welcomed to call my 'cyan' in real life.

 

[iambored]

haha you're kidding, right?

if i meet anyone and they call me my screenname...

 

[AsyLum]

You are on a never-ending quest to MEET iambored

 

[clairegirl]

haha you're kidding, right?

if i meet anyone and they call me my screenname...

lol "hi iambored"

i call jamie cyan all the time and do you guys remember zaiggen? he used to BOS it all the time, his real name is herbet but i call him Zaiggen and now i introduce him as zaiggen becoz thats what his BOS name was.

Yeah I guess it depends on your screen name as well.. if its Asylum or cyan it doesn't sound so weird, they sound cool actually. Whereas if you've got a screen name like

...
hopeful

"hey hopeful"
"hi dot dot dot" hehehe

 

[AsyLum]

Haha, true, well to be honest I never heard my first name called out through high school by friends, since there were 9 Michaels in our year, we were all referred to by our last names hehe

hahahahahahah. you dont think calling someone 'Aslyum' is weird? I do when i think about it (though i still call mike that nevertheless).

at least cyan sounds like a name (albeit an asian name or some futuristic sci-fi star wars nerdy kind of name).

oh but heres the thing. some say Cyan (Kai-an; or CK-EYE-AN) while others say it as SSS-EYE-AN. When you see my name how do you guys usu. pronounce it?

[iambored]

i was going to ask you how you pronounce it
i pronounce it sigh-an, so the second
how is it supposed to be pronounced?

what about asy? i pronounce that a for apple, a-sea, not like the start of 'asylum'

clairegirl, is self-explanatory

 

[AsyLum]

Haha yeah, most people get mine right, usually its:

ah-sigh-lum or ah-see

but you get that oddball sometimes who comes up and says:

hey ah-see-luuum

 

[monique66]

[AsyLum]

The person who couldn't stay under the word-limit *thanks him/her*

 

[sukiyaki]

i'll get scared if someones called me sukiyaki in real life, then have this feeling i be eaten (sukiyaki is a food )

 

[AsyLum]

Haha

I'd break into "I think im turning japanese" everytime I'd hear sukiyaki haha

i take this back
after reading a lot of my old posts, i now know why i don't log onto the other subforums
i wrote practically the same thing in every post for a year
edit: why didn't someone tell me to shut up when by the time i had written the same thing in 10 posts instead of letting me write about 100?
edit2: :rofl: i was such a teeny-bopper back in the day bcoz i used 2 type lyk dis lolz
