Like Pengwino you print off the Graemlin codes and pictures and stick them on your monitor to save time when typing replies!
Pengwino says - It was just an idea. Because my computer is being so slow and the Graemlins box takes such along time to load.

That's a fantastic idea... scarily fantastic...
I guess you know you're addicted if (like Quix) you have hop manually entered into a hosts lookup so you can reach it even when your DNS server is down (I do that for all my favourite sites. What does that say about my DNS?)
Oh and I can (thanks to my browser) reach HoP by typing HP and hitting enter in the address bar. Is that addiction?

pengwino that's a great idea *rushes off to find a bit of paper to write graemlin shortcuts on*
you know you're addicted to hop when you log in again, and there's no new posts because you didn't log off that long ago!! *teehee*
do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good to eat!
if at first you do succeed, try not to look too astonished!

when u bother to look at reasons why ur addicted to poi and realise its all true
when u can take the time out to talk and help people around u learn (ie ive taught at lest 20 of my mates how to do the 3beat weave and the butterfly)
when u listen to music and instantly think of moves to spin with the beats and create a poi/staff dance in ur mind during a song (only if ur inside and away from poi causing u to only think and not act)
and constantly searching for a new move
fire is mad
yay up to 5 beat weave only 4 more to get to 9 :P

when your folks threaten to ban you from the internet when most of it is spent on HoP talking to HoPpers on msn!
when you're always talking abot what so-and-so said on HoP
when your mobile phone is full of amusing messages sent to you by HoPpers (that message from Flynt about the Petite Miam still cracks me up!)
when you have dreams where you meet various HoPers, or they just appear in your dreams like they should always be there!

Rougie: but that's what I'm doing here
Arnwyn: what letting me adjust myself in your room?..don't you dare quote that on HoP...

When your browser opens to the HOP website but you type it out anyway because it's faster...
When sometimes there are less than six people are between you and your last post at the word association game....
When you've downloaded/ seen almost every video in the archive inspired by the thought that you might acquire their fluidity and grace at some point in the future...
When it's the first thing you check in the morning, and the last thing you check at night... believe me... I'll probably check again in a couple of hour before I hit the sack
It maybe when you feel you might find friends in a place that's quite intangible but very real...
Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

When you get up extra early in the morning to go into college to check pm's and update your diary before going to work.
When you pop round to friends houses unexpected and ask to use their computers to go HoPping.

Your friends laugh at you because you travel 3 hours by bus to meet people you met 'on the internet' for one night of poi-ing (then travel 3 hours back the next day to go to work).

*when you have to edit a post because its possible someone else in work might read it*
When you have practicly unlimited bandwidth in work but you check it at home on a dial up every night too....
When you travel the 'Entire' length of the country to go spin on an island with other HOP folk.
And finally, when you tell its yourself, next week i'm not logging on, then you say, maybe just monday.....

You are more than welcome to stay at my house while you're in the city...
I can even help you sort out your trip here if you like... How's that for an invitation? _______________
As for checking HoP vs. actually spinning... I'm guilty
