No, I'm not talking about Michi's love for each other but rather our love for them and the side effects it has brought in the lives of many of us. Thought I will list out a few of them.
- Has made me a nocturnal animal. I used to go to bed by 11.00 pm. till August 2007. Now I am wide awake around that time to catch my favourite jodi on screen. Everyday I see the next day before going to bed, what with all the discussion here at IF afer the show.
- Has made me look more run down and haggard. Atleast that is what I feel, with my beauty sleep lost for the last six months.
- Has made me look like a walking idiot. There is this idiotic grin I sometimes have plastered on my face when I recollect some Michi scenes or the sudden squeeze of the heart when I think of something sad which happened between them. Only hope nobody at work have noticed it. The last time I behaved like this (a love sick teenager) was when I was engaged to be married. But atleast there it concerned my life. Here it does not even concern my life or for that matter the life of anybody real but is only related to two fictional characters!
- My acidity levels have gone up of late worrying over Michi's fate which is compounded by my anger against Snakeman for giving us this stupid track.
- My eyesight must have deterioted in the last six months due to my addiction to IF thanks to Michi.
- The time I spend with the rest of the family has come down. My hubby is mostly fast asleep before I hit the bed. No wonder the guy is thoroughly p***d off with this show and Michi. He has already labled me "arai loose"(meaning half crazed).
- Has ruined my concentration. With less sleep and Michi constantly invading my thoughts at the most unexpected moments, my concentration levels have definitely come down.
- Days, weeks and months seem to be moving at jet set pace ever since Michi entered the picture. While most people look forward to the week ends I am looking forward for the new week to begin so as to see my favourite jodi on the screen. In the process I dont know how time flies.
- Thanks to the FFickers and VM makers in the forum, Michi preoccupation continues even during week-ends making me a home bird most of the time hooked on to the net!
- If I receive calls from my relatives around 11.00 pm. on any week days (Mon-thurs) I am quick to cut them off telling them that I'll call over the weekends.
- My telephone and internet bills have increased in the last six months.
Well, these are some of the side effects Michi love and the resultant IF addiction have caused on me. Your experiences?
