First time I realized it, was truly during the first of Halx's "evil-black-screen-of-death" messages when the site was slow. Was that just a short time ago now?! No logging on.....WTF?!
I sat down.....and....gasp....no TFP. The first thing I did....phone another member to see if it was just me!
that's when I knew I was hooked!
My best bud (who led me here) and I will talk all the time about "threads" and drop TFP names and we get that "what the hell are you two talking about" look from people that overhear us! *giggles
*EDIT....and the other time I realized I was hooked....when I was uber sad at home, bawling my eyeballs out and my first thought was to pm one of the TFP ladies who I knew would understand.....I never did (damn pride!) but that's when I realized these were my friends, part of me...part of my life now!
I'm already wondering what to do when going away for the TFP get-together in Vegas....who's bringing a lap-top anyways?
