Conversations with an Addict

I was talking with a G&G Addict last evening and I gotta say you people really are sick!

... If you are new-here-today or new-here-within-the-past-few-weeks, you may not know what a G&G Addict is ... First, it is a delicious name we give to those readers who are compelled to neglect their work, family, and sunlight while they wait for the next post here at www.growingandgrowing.com … Next, most of them got addicted as infants right after the Violent Silence (... Dad's accident ...), while others became addicted later in life. What am I saying? It's only been 7 weeks! They're all infants! Finally, the best way to tell you about an addict is to simply show you. Here is a really sick one ... I've tried to teach that one and others about being impatient ... but it did not work too well ...

So this G&G Addict approached me. We will call her OuterCircleChic for now. We had the following conversation:

OCC: I can't handle this 1 or 2 posts a day!

Self: Yeah, it's hard juggling family, work, hospital visits and G&G writing.

OCC: No, I don't think you understand. I won't accept this 1 or 2 posts a day!

Self: Yeah, I could probably do this full time if I could simply quit my job and quit my family.

OCC: ... (taking out a dull butter knife and putting it to my throat) ... No, I don't think you understand. YOU WILL POST MORE THAN 1 or 2 POSTS A DAY! YOU WILL GO BACK TO POSTING MORE! RIGHT?

Self: ... (struggling to breath) ... Right ... is today soon enough?

UPDATE (9:15am): Just got a rather threatening email and text from someone ... let's just say their name rhymes with PouterPircleTric ... I am supposed to clarify they only want 3-4 posts a day ... and it was a plastic knife ...
