ARGH.

This whole thing has made me realize: you know what? I'm online too much. It's stressing me out. I'm disconnecting myself for awhile. I'll allow myself an hour a day to check things, I mean I still have friends in far away places that I have to keep in contact with, but I just need a break from internet STUFF. I spend too much of my life

I think I know how you feel. I've had some indirect clashes with people that have left me boiling and sick of the internet... and wondering how come it got so important to my life that it affects me so much.

Spending a night out with friends, taking a walk outside and breathing the air, or making myself finish a real book before I'd let myself back online usually helped me, in any case!

I hope you feel better and clearer after your break!!

お元気でね！

I shall be lonely without you!
(but yet I empathize with you) I'll try to send you some TCL to work on tomorrow. It'll keep both our asses of the internet.

Please do! I'd love to have some of that to work on.

Yeah it's amazing how the internet can draw you in like that. Sometimes taking long breaks from it is sort of necessary. It's hard for me though, since right now I'm living in the middle of nowhere and it's winter so I can't do much outside. My closest friends are an hour away so it's hard to hang out sometimes. I'm definitely going to e-mail them and see about hanging out next weekend though!

Thanks! I'm sure it will be good for me.

I know the feeling; spending the week without internet with my family was AWESOME. Sometimes it's just nice to take a break from the compelling gravity of the interwebs.

It's nice isn't it? I actually got so much reading done yesterday! I finished two books and started another one, and went through things in boxes I haven't quite sorted yet. The internet is a horrible horrible addiction.
