…no not base you silly bugger, dooyoo! As opinions on dooyoo’s future are sprouting up I thought it would be apt to write about just how addictive and enjoyable the site is. Life without dooyoo is unimaginable to me, its become one of the most important things in my life. Yes I am a sad case.
I’ve been a member since dooyoo first began; I think I read about it in the Daily Telegraphy or some other spreadable newspaper. However, I never really got into it way back then, mainly because I couldn’t get paid because I was too young :-(. So I left it until I was old enough and churned out a few half decent ops, again leaving dooyoo behind – better things to do, like study and drink. It’s only these past few weeks that dooyoo has really opened up to me. Since the end of term money has been a little short and I was struggling to pay the rent, luckily I got a job just in time (I’m still open to hand outs though ;-) ), I thought I would try my hand at dooyoo again. I re-appeared here on dooyoo to try and earn a little cash but primarily to feel like I was doing something!
However dooyoo is no longer something I can spend half an hour on in the vague hope of boosting up my miles total. Finally I have discovered what dooyoo is meant to be all about. No longer is it about churning out opinions on footballers and so such, no longer is it about the accumulation of dooyoo miles, it’s a community and I’m part of it!!! Forgive me if I am regurgitating things that have already been said but it really is like discovering the site all over again.
For someone who doesn’t have access to the Internet at home my addiction can easily be identified, the only access I have is at the University which is open weekdays from 9am until 7pm. Last night was the heaviest night of my life, to say I was steaming would be an understatement, a couple of months ago nothing would have shifted me from bed bu
t this morning dooyoo did! I set my alarm for 8 o’clock not because I had to go to work, not because I had to go and meet someone but because I wanted to be at the Computer Room for when it opened. I told you I’m a complete sad case! I’ve been in the Computer Room since then with my bottle of water and packed sarnies and with the aid of the random opinion generator thingy plan to stay here until closing. This is not a one-off, I regularly do this!
God only knows what people think I’m up to all day but I will quite happily sit here with just dooyoo and tooyoo loaded up. The money is a definite plus, I’m going to treat myself to a few new CD’s when I can but there is a real thrill in knowing that real people are reading your views and are being influenced by what you say. I’ve recently written an opinion about embarrassing moments in my life, something I would rarely share with anyone but my dearest and nearest, but got a tremendous buzz as comments appeared. The welcoming comments and OzZy1’s zany remarks on the tooyoo guestbooks further add to the fun.
Addiction doesn’t stop in the Computer Room, it’s spilled out into everyday life. Three of my close friends have signed up, including thatguystu my flatmate. Only the other night the pub conversation was not ‘who will win the League?’ or ‘describe the perfect women’ but was ‘this beer is nice, I might write an op on it tomorrow’ or ‘describe your perfect opinion’. It’s silly I know, but my mates get exactly the same buzz as I do. My dooyoo t-shirt is probably the most worn thing in my wardrobe, and I tell you it’s a hell of an ice breaker in a pub! Everything I do, everywhere I go, I think ‘will this make a good opinion’!
Well that’s about it. I thought I’d have written tonnes more than this, then again I don’t really need to. 90%
of those who read this will know exactly what dooyoo addiction is. Dooyoo is addictive, even if you begin with intentions of making a fast buck, but its and addiction I’m quite happy to live with!
