You know you're addicted to the internet when your cable stops working for 5 minutes and you freak out and unplug and replug everything and go through trouble shoot and triple try all their suggestions and breathe in shorter pants and keep trying to sign on AIM and panic more when it doesn't connect and turn off your computer and it feels like you're shut off from the entire world and when IM finally goes from 'connecting' to 'verifying user password', you feel a rush and life is good again.
