Someone at work tells you a joke and you say LOL

You no longer type with proper punctuation, capitalization, or
complete sentences .
You begin to say heh heh heh instead of laughing

your own family's.
You lie to others about your time online and when they complain
You keep begging your friends to get an account so "we can hang out"
You meet people from the Internet in public and have no idea what
their real name is, so you call them by their screen name
That your phone was busy you claim it was off the hook
You have an identity crisis if someone else is using an s/n close to
your own
You would rather tell people your bloodshot eyes are from partying
too much instead of the truth (all night online)
You marry your cyber boyfriend and you both sit at your own
computers and chat to each other every night from across the room
You type messages to people while you are on the phone with them at
the same time

on their buddy lists

few hours
