Stand Away, Highly Contagious!

I was recently ill but not ill enough to get an MC and so I dragged my sorry self to the neighbourhood doctor. The kindly doctor peered at me through his Coke-bottle glasses and frowned when I explained my symptoms to him:

  1. Coming into the office extra early to access my blogs, simply because the connection here is faster! I’ve recently started leaving my PC on standby mode at the end of the day simply because it takes too long to start up in the mornings!

  2. Bookmarking so many blogs that my Bookmarks list is way, way longer than my arm and it can take me half a day just to go through them!
  3. Plonking myself in front of the laptop at home after work to read more blogs and feverishly check for comments every so often! I live for them and double digit comments make my day! Heh!
  4. Getting stressed when I run out of fodder to blog about and start being extra attentive to things I read or see!
  5. Carrying my camera in my bag sometimes and take pictures of almost all my food, at various angles! Otherwise there’s always the trusty camera phone! Oh, and Picasa is now my best friend! I take a crappy photo and think “Tis ok! Picasa it like mad later!”
  6. Giggling away to myself in my cubicle when I read something funny. My colleagues probably think I’m a hopeless basket case!
  7. Meeting more people and making more friends online through their blogs than in real life! *tsk tsk* There’s definitely something wrong when someone tells you your friends/acquaintances all don’t have real names!
  8. Researching foodie blogs to look for somewhere to go for dinner or what to cook over the weekend!
  9. Trying to find time to do other stuff (like that 4-letter W word) amidst blogging and blog-hopping! Interesting where priorities can lie! *wink*
  10. And finally…getting my own dotcom because I was feeling bad for my blog readers when I had “Dark Side” posts!

The doctor beamed in understanding at my symptoms and pronounced Blogivitis! He gave me an MC to stay home to…erm…indulge in my Blogivitis and warned that it is highly highly contagious! He asked me to trace the source so he could warn others and it was you, Rinnah! *grin*

No point containing this virus since blogsphere seems to be overwhelmed with it already!

Emergency: Houston we need backup!

So while they’re trying to find a cure for it, I’ll do my part as a “responsible” blogger and pass it on to:

    Thanks for submitting homework on your tag, pink elle! *hugs*

    Yup, it looks like you have a serious case of blogivitis. We all need MCs!!! Where’s the lokter when you need her?

    *goes running off in search of a MC*
    *comes running back*

    Don’t you think it would be better if we checked ourselves into the nearest Wi-Fi enabled hospital for a full check-up? LOL!

    PE says: Thanks for the tag :) Yeah man…confirmed sick! I haven’t been able to do much W**K at all since I’ve been inflicted so definitely need the MC and that Wi-Fi enabled hospital! Tee hee…*hugs back*

    LOL, this Blogivitus is getting out of hand! World wide infection! CDC cannot do a thing! But there is a bit of good news in all this Doom and Gloom! I am not the only one!

    PE says: Ahhh but LB, you shall soon be! Not even bubble suits and oxygen tents are going to protect you from Blogivitis! *chases after LB zombie-style*
