Hong Kong / Internet Addiction

I arrive home after school, put my purse on the kitchen counter next to my keys, grab a quick bite to eat, grab my laptop, sit on the couch, and access the internet.....for HOURS, shutting down to crawl to bed at 10:30 or 11.

Maybe its not so much of a 'buying' problem as a 'planning priority' problem.
In the past 2-3 weeks, I've bought:
