I have a sort of ex-boyfriend or whatever you want to call him (that term is used very loosely here) who is one of those idiot men who doesn't appreciate you when they have you (we women all know what that is like) and then when they don't have you anymore, they suddenly want you! Well, he is suddenly laying it on thick, trying to break down my fortress of protection I have built up around me since the last go-round with him three years ago. The other day, he was saying he wants to come visit me or me to visit him, blah blah, blah and I was trying to keep my guard up and not let him get to me. So I just kept thinking to myself, "I have to plan another DLR trip, I have to plan another DLR trip, I have to occupy my mind with details...I have to get back on DISBoards and read some trip reports and some threads to get my mind off of [this person]." And that is what I did! When I hung up the phone, I got right onto DISboards and started reading and posting to distract myself! And it worked!
So DISboards is not only an addiction, but a good distraction from, er, uh...life's little annoyances!
