Well, gee, neither of them sound too good, according to Dictionary.com!

Personally, I'll just use the same excuse as Chatmeg: I work on the 'Net! (Even though I'm at home right now... LOL)

PS -- if anyone cares, here's how I scored on that "MOUSE" test:

M - always
O - depends on the responsibilities. I basically look for any excuse to get out of doing the dishes, but I still pay rent and go to work, and all that good stuff ;)
U - well, I've never really tried to cut back (do you really think I should?)
S - fortunately enough, I do have a social life, one that has nothing to do with the internet *gasp!*
E - nope, can't say I go through 'Net withdrawal (YET)
