Al-Jamadan

[youngthales]

Been doing that thing where I habitually refresh the friends page instead of working. After this post (post-post), I'll be LJ abstinent till the New Year. Can I coin a word? Al-Jamadan: the holy month of LJ fasting, or any long period of LJ restraint in general. Al-Jamadan doesn't follow the solar calendar but typically occurs around the first

Too bad you can't just have a weekly digest of your friends page sent to you by e-mail.

Inauthentic!

You blame LJ instead of yourself :-)

You mean to tell me that LJ will not be simply replaced with some other prescription for procrastination? LJ is not prepetually refreshing itself :-)

Instead of fasting for a month, why not just keep yourself from overextending its usage?

Your refreshing frankness, as usual, is appreciated. My relation to my will power is a mysterious and frail thing. Until I understand it better, and until I'm stronger, I simply stick to what's worked in the past.
