I signed up to dooyoo as some keen, young fresh talent to write opinions, read opinions, and even make a bit of money on the side. All was well at first. I wrote a good few opinions and was going onto dooyoo every day, sometimes much more than that. Checking up on my miles, reading comments, writing ops and reading other opinions. I was perhaps verging on the fatefull "dooyoo addiction".

This was last term (im in the 6th form at school). The term then ended and i went home. While at home, dooyoo faded into insignificance. I have to admit that this is the first time in about 6 weeks that i have logged onto my account. I had totally forgotten about dooyoo. I have been back at school for over a week, and it was only just now as i was wondering what to do (I am currently in a study period, or "free" as we like to call them!). I suddenly remembered dooyoo and so came back and i now find myself writing this op.

But why did my 5 week addiction turn into a 6 week absence altogether. I didn't mean to alienate myself from dooyoo, it just happened. Now, the scary thing is that i have a friend at school who joined dooyoo at around the same as me (geelayz). I was shocked to find out that he too has undergone the same fate as me. Complete lack of dooyooing. Now if you read Gile's review under this title you will see that he was hopelessly addicted to dooyoo, just like i was becoming hopelessly addicted to it. BUT it all ended when term ended (by the way, we are both boarders at school).

I have come to the sad conclusion that dooyoo is perhaps nothing but an outlet for my boredom. By a cruel irony, the only reason I am here right now is due to the fact that I was bored during a free. The more I think about it, the more i believe this to be true. I usually use dooyoo at weekends, WHEN I'M BORED. I don't think i've ever made a positive decision while doing something else that i want to go and wr
ite on dooyoo. NO, it only happens in moments of boredom.
-IS THIS BAD? will the friendly members of dooyoo reject me for admitting to this. I really hope not as it isn't that i don't LIKE dooyoo, but that I don't need dooyoo, and only use it when bored.
I actually love dooyoo. It is an outlet for anything that i want to say. Here i am telling a bunch of unknown people about my addiction, or lack of, and it's great.

But maybe dooyoo does in fact annoy me. I have been racking my brains as to why this might me. All i can come up with is this - some of my opinions are, in my view very interesting and i feel that everyone should read what i have to say. A prime example is my review of sailing which i put a lot of time into. I wanted to let people know more about the sport - people that aren't interested in it at present, but this didn't happen. This is because not many people think of looking up ops on sailing, so they don't find mine. Exactly the same happened for my article on Colombia.
I really wanted to get messages across, spread the word, but hardly anyone read my ops.
I guess this got to me and is a possible reason for me slipping out of the dooyoo addiction. If you put loads of effort into something, you want the recognition, don't you think?

Well, i guess i've said what i wanted to say on this matter. I'm and addict, turned rejector, but now i'm back. I have exams this term so maybe i won't use dooyoo as much, or will my addiction return? You can see what happens by seeing if my opinion number rises. All that is left to say is:
"Hi again dooyoo, i think i may have actually missed you!"
