Make your own free website on Tripod.com

Heidy-ho neighbors, and welcome to the newest version of my Cove! For those of you that have visited my CyberHome before, welcome back, and I believe there are quite a few changes around here, and many new additions for your enjoyment. For those of you first-time voyagers, come on in, and settle back for what's bound to be a Cosmic Time!!

CORBY'S COVE: THE CELESTIAL GATHERING FOR ANGELIC SOULS AND THE HEAVENLY BODIES...ESPECIALLY US STRAWBERRY BLOND ONES ;)

Before you get surfing through my pages, perhaps you'd care to know a little bit about just who it is you've come to visit? Well, my chatroom handle is Corby; I'm an avid compu-geek and proud of it! This is my second year in college and I'm an Advertising Major -- so, if you couldn't already tell, I LIVE for creativity! I love to write, work with HTML, do anything artisic... If you want to learn more about me, click on Tigger. That is to say, if you can catch him! HooHooHoo!

This is my oh-so humble abode, but you're welcome to it. Welcome to the REAL "House of Corby", where there's always a party and the drinks are free. You're welcome to explore the place, come see my work, meet my friends, or link up to other rooms I've been to. So have fun! But don't worry -- I won't make you take off your shoes just to come inside. ;)

Okay all you net-addicted people, raise your hand if you feel you can relate to this.

Mmm-hmm, that's exactly what I thought you'd say. (Don't worry, I do it too.)

How To Tell If You're Addicted To The Internet...

50.The ear-piercing blares as the modem hookup blasts screechingly as it dials have you drooling happy as Pavlov�s dogs.
49.Your eyeglasses have a web site burned in on them.
48.You find yourself brainstorming for new subjects to search.
47.You refuse to go to a vacation spot with no electricity and no phone lines � or, you finally do take that vacation, but only after buying a cellular modem and a laptop. And THEN you spend half of the plane trip with your laptop on your lap... and your child in the overhead compartment.
46.You have cyber-sex more often than you get laid IRL.
45.The fact you know "IRL" stands for "in real life" to begin with.
44.All your daydreaming is preoccupied with getting a faster connection to the 28.8... ISDN... cable modem... T1...T3. And even your night dreams are in HTML.
43.You can say you know the chatroom netiquette translation for one of the following <*'s> - "LOL", "CUL", "g", "ROTFL", "LMAO", or "s". Worse yet, you recognize ALL of them.
42.You find yourself typing "com" after every period when using a word processor.com
41.You turn off your modem and get this awful empty feeling, like you just pulled the plug on a loved one.
40.You refer to going to the bathroom as downloading.
39.You start introducing yourself as "Bob at tech front slash I-I-Net dot com."
38.Your heart races faster and beats irregularly each time you see a new WWW site address to try in print or on TV, even though you've never had heart problems before.
37.You step out of your room and realize that your parents have moved and don't have a clue when it happened.
36.You turn on your intercom when leaving the room so you can hear if new e-mail arrives.
35.Your wife/husband drapes a wig over your monitor to remind you of what she/he looks like.
34.Your bookmark takes 15 minutes to scroll from top to bottom.
33.When looking at a pageful of someone else's links, you notice all of them are already highlighted in purple. (Even your dog has its own home page.)
32.You have an "itchy pointandclick finger" ready to go.
31.You've already visited all the links at Yahoo and you're halfway through Lycos.
30.You start to smell something funky and realize you forgot to go bathe. Awhile ago.
29.The fact you haven�t taken a shower in days doesn�t even seem to bother you that much.
28.You check your mail. It says "no new messages." So you check it again.
27.All of your friends have an @ in their names. That, and your friends no longer send you e-mail... they just log on to your chat addy.
26.You actually USE the word "addy". You probably have your own "HP" too.
25.Your phone bill comes to your doorstep in a box. And sadly, you didn�t even call your mother, because she doesn't have a modem.
24.You refer to your age as 3.x. If not, perhaps even though you died last week, you've managed to retain OPS on your favorite IRC channel.
23.You code your homework in HTML and give your instructor the URL.
22.You don't know what sex of three of your best friends are, because they have neutral handles and you never bothered to ask.
21.You realize there is not a sound in the house and you have no idea where your children are. On a side note, your children are named Eudora, Mozilla and Dotcom.
20.You laugh at people with 2400 baud modems.
19.Your husband tells you he's had the beard for 2 months.
18.You miss more than five meals a week downloading the latest games from Apogee.
17.You start looking for raunchy HTML addresses in public restrooms.
16.You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and stop and check your e-mail on the way back to bed. You can do this because your computer is, at three in the morning, still on.
15.You move into a new house and decide to Netscape before you landscape.
14.You tell the cab driver you live at http://123.elm.street/house/bluetrim.html, or worse yet, you actually try that 123.elm.street address.
13.You reach over to close the window blinds with an irritated squint as you try to get rid of the sudden annoying glare on your monitor� and realize it�s because the sun�s coming up outside.
12.You tell the kids they can't use the computer because "Mommy's got work to do" and you don't even have a job.
11.The phrase "hold on just one more minute" can stretch the span of days on end. In the same respect, you find yourself withholding the urge to go to the bathroom a little while longer while you surf the rest of a page�s links.
10.A Captain Kirk chair with a built-in keyboard and mouse seems like a really good idea� maybe one with a toilet seat right on it so you never have to get up to use the bathroom�

1.You start tilting your head sideways to smile. ;]
