Coming to accordance with the Internet?
Nov. 13th, 2006 11:15 amThe fundamental problem with my decision to leave the Internet was the loneliness, and feeling mute. So I came back.
However, this has been an valuable experience for me. I found that I had to use the computer for several things (like working on my budget), and as long as I had a very specific purpose for being on the computer, I could set myself a time limit and be off that computer after working on it. Or, in other words, I might have found a way to live with the computer without it taking over my life. It helps that I have a thing strapped to my waist which I have set to vibrating at fifteen-minute intervals, so that I can tell myself "I'll work for fifteen minutes" and then stop when I feel the vibration.
I'm going to work on developing a flexible schedule-routine for doing things.
Also, I've been getting more walks. That's good.
I'll probably be around somewhat less, but I'll be here. And my games can resume. That's a big reason I came back, actually, I had all kinds of ideas boiling in my head which demanded vent in the games (especially the Utena-inspired one), and I didn't want them to languish too long.
Besides, I said "up to a month", not "absolutely completely a month, and I'm sticking to it". I've already learned some possibilities, so it's already yielded positive results. I might've learned more by sticking it out, but I also might've gone insane.
Time to end this post and do something else. Have a good time, all my friends.
