Wiki-walking.

[hellzabeth]

Gotta stop reading Wikipedia.

Firstly because my wiki-walking takes up hours that I could be using to learn things that are not random shit about Queen or bee farming.

Secondly because Wikipedia is a veritable black hole and I will never. Stop. Browsing.

Thirdly because I am in class so I should be listening to Jenny when she talks.

Finally, because inevitably I will end up on the Psychology pages and start diagnosing everyone I know as well as myself. Everyone's a little bit messed up, it's not a crime, and not everyone cares for a diagnosis for their nictophobia or CES or OCD.

I'm so Neurotic Obsessive Compulsive it's painful.

No.

Bad Pidge, stop.

Do you guys ever get carried away with diagnosing yourself? Or even wiki-walking until your cyber-shoes are worn to nothing?

*holds up hand* I have never wiki-walked.

...you know diagnosing yourself isn't healthy right? It's like looking up your own terminal disease.

Not so much diagnosing myself, but I spend way too much time looking up random trade treaties and battles and stuff from history. My favourite so far is the Gift of Wool, where Australia gave Austria a load of wool as a gift and it is the dorkiest thing ever, I read the letters they sent back and forth sorting it out. I also really like this one tariff rule Australia tried to set up to stop America selling goods in him, where he randomly included Canada in the ban because he was pissed off at him for defending America at the Commonwealth meeting things.


... This is my life now.

......I am wiki-walking as we speak.

But in my defence it started out as research for a chapter of a fic on Scotland and his kids. Which turned into browsing on the Kalmar Union, and Danish kings, ladies-in-waiting... religion in Europe... the Age of Enlightenment... existentialism and humanism...

...and now I just realize half an hour has gone by and I want to get this fic up by tonight asap. Oops. XDDD;

Yes and yes.

Especially the wiki-walking part: Every. Freaking. Day.

Brb, back to reading about former Soviet leaders. You know, Stalin was scarily like Hitler. And I don't mean like "well both were murderous, paranoid fuckheads" although that's also true, I mean like they have the same damn life story (only with different locations) up to the part where Hitler lost and Stalin won in WW2.

And btw I already hated Stalin, now I hate him even more. Whereas my cautious respect for Lenin grows.

Oh, is that why you keep fixing my hair because it is OMG SO MESSY!

I can't help it, anything that goes near my body automatically becomes messy (or covered in paint)

I don't wiki-walk...much. Only when I'm looking up histories and stuff on countries for hetalia related purposes. but I did spent 10 straight hours on tvtropes. That website is incredibly addicting.

One Friday I wiki-walked for SIX HOURS. I'm a lost cause. Wikipedia and TV Tropes are my drugs (maybe this is why I don't care about places like MySpace or Twitter).

About self-diagnosis, not really. I actually have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It's not pretty.
