information junkie (idea) by mblase

You might be an information junkie if...

...you would rather spend a free evening at Barnes and Noble than at the local movie theater.
...you get home from class early to watch "Jeopardy" and study in silence during "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire".
...you routinely come home from the public library with more books than you returned.
...you contribute more factual writeups in a single day than you do daylogs entries in an entire month.
...you've ever taken the time to research what the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow actually is.
...you once memorized all fifty US state capitals, the first few dozen digits of pi, or all sixty-six books of the Bible just because you could.
...you ever started a political or religious argument with someone, only to find yourself arguing against your own position because the data doesn't support your claims.
...you want to upgrade to an Ungodly Fast Internet Connection just so you can keep a news ticker streaming across the bottom of your monitor at all times.
...you not only manage your browser's bookmarks, you keep them in hierarchal folders for easy location later.
...you have memorized the Dewey Decimal System because it's easier than using the card catalog.
...you refuse to buy news magazines because they only come out once a week.
...you check the E2 New Writeups before you even look at your morning e-mail.
