Are you hooked on Model Mayhem?
Somewhere between 4:00 and 4:30 this morning I found myself not being able to sleep. It is now 5:32 and I'm still here reading away. Now there are a number of things I could have done. Trying to fall back to sleep would have been one for starters. No, instead I find myself firing up the ol' PC to see whats happening on MM. Hell, I have a number of other sites I could have even visited, so why MM? What is this obsession? Just what are some of the signs that MM has sucked a person in? Am I hooked for life? Gary Oct 21 06 07:28 am Link Dont worry a good twelve step program will take care of it. Oct 21 06 07:31 am Link I'm not strong willed enough to complete the program..... I wake up and I check the Mayhem... I get home from work, and I check the Mayhem.... before I Nap (it seems I can never sleep more then 3 hours) I'm on the Mayhem.... I'm just greatful that MM doesn't have an hourly usage fee! (Don't get any ideas Tyler......) Oct 21 06 07:42 am Link At times it is so late at night and I am so tired, my head starts bobbing forward, and my eyes can't stay open. Even then I just have to make one more round on the forums. Gary Oct 21 06 08:21 am Link ...there are worse addictions in life than MM. For me it's about sharing and caring, , learning and growing , creating, loving and living. I enjoy the moments spent on MM and the beautiful people that hang here. Long live MM, creativity and photography! Oct 21 06 08:24 am Link omG,Ive been here all night,I thought i had quit,but i came back on and,BAM!!!! im addicted again,JUST LIKE THAT!!!!its krazy,It's just like myspace..... myspace.com/claudiagmodel omG,same thing,I think they have some type of subliminal messages goin on!.....Thats it I quit!! Oct 21 06 08:29 am Link Claudia --- I'll see you posting in an hour (just like me....) Oct 21 06 08:31 am Link Sign me up as well. I am addicted, can't sleep right now and I have a busy day of printing photo's tomorrow. I should be asleep, but here I am. Oct 21 06 08:33 am Link im back!!!!!!! hahaha,your right,lmao,i simply can't do it!!;-( oh welll.....long live model mayhem;-)!!!Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oct 21 06 08:34 am Link I think its the continual renewing.. the constant change, that keeps bringing people back.. keeps them addicted. Same with myspace... you're just on for a minute to check email and bam, "oh, he has a new picture, i better check it out" "oh, who's that friend of her's in the top 8, i better go and look" it goes on and on  Oct 21 06 08:37 am Link GLB Graphics wrote: You can go talk to the ex; thats something to do.

You are hooked... Oct 21 06 09:41 am Link the tobacco industry could learn a thing or two about addiction from MM. Personally, I can quit anytime. As a matter of fact. I've already quit twice this week. Oct 21 06 12:26 pm Link Yep, it a twisted addiction. A love/hate thing. I can't fricken stand this place, but I keep coming back. I've noticed lately, the more I come back, my hatred for it lessens and it's turning more into an appreciation for the differences in people. Can't quite explain it this early (I just woke up). But something like that. Lol... Oct 21 06 12:42 pm Link Well my wife says I'm addicted to MM! As much as I'd like to deny it, she might have a point :-P Even though MM doesn't have anywhere near the features of OMP or Musecube.. I find it a lot more interactive to be on here with the other users. I almost never check those my accounts there. But here, there's immediate feedback from people, great forums (minus the "let's see how fast we can turn an innocent thread into an argument" people) and it's just more fun! Anyway, how do we go about setting up a group intervention? :-) Oct 21 06 12:45 pm Link Patrick Shipstad wrote: My wife says technically it's the model's photos I'm addicted to moreso than the MM site itself...

Oct 21 06 01:55 pm Link I was 'clean' for about a week and then I had to get one little hit and now I'm a full blown addict again. ......heading off to MM rehab........

Oct 22 06 02:31 am Link I am an unretired MM addict. Can't go a day without checking it. daayyyyyyyyyyyamm you delicious mayhem Oct 22 06 02:58 am Link Sadly, I'm addicted too... Get up around 3pm, sit on MM until 7pm, go to the gym, get back 11pm, stay on MM until say, 3 am? That's 8 hours a day... That's sad, truly sad....

I've chosen my addiction Oct 22 06 04:31 am Link So here I sit again at 5:00AM Sunday morning...  Oct 22 06 07:01 am Link Too much of ANYTHING will make you an addict. I heard group sessions start at 6AM. I have to try and make those. Oh and Doc says my meds are working...I only 6 hours a day on here. Oct 22 06 07:08 am Link :::::::::::::::::::yes::::::::::::::::: that and pepsi;) eva Oct 22 06 07:30 am Link I don't know about addicted (of course denial is a sign of addiction) but if I'm sitting at my desk MM is one of the things open. This morning I was on just before 6:00 am and that is pretty sick for a Sunday morning. Bill Oct 22 06 07:38 am Link Bill Bates wrote: I haven't even had my morning coffee yet and I'm on. :-) Oct 22 06 07:46 am Link I have spent over 18 hours on MM one weekend. My dishes are not done. My grass needs cutting. MM has with out a doubt the most interesting, talented, beautiful and creative people in the world. For me this is a big deal. Artist need artist.

Yes indeed, I really do gain a lot by studying the work of other MMers. Oct 22 06 08:03 am Link GLB Graphics wrote: Yes Gary, we're all addicted to MM. I have to be at a computer somewhere in the world every night at midnight EST to close my Pic of the Day thread and count the votes. It's a hopeless addiction for sure.
