I'm doing some renovating. To my social life, that is. It's become stagnant lately, due to excessive internet usage. I spend most of my time online. So, a friend suggested I unplug the computer for a week. So, I figure why not? I don't have anything to lose. Just thought I'd let you guys know. Keep an eye on DAc for me, Frank or Tim or CC. Adieu.

Ah, good old teenager over self-conciousness. Nothing beats not falling in the 'in' crowd. Change while you still can, and remember, Everyone loves it when you wear the lampshade at Football parties. Really. And tell Afton Stykes she's hot, and you should do it. You'll rule the school.

You know, I haven't found the Internet eats into my social life, such as it is. What it has largely replaced is television.
Well...that's actually a lie, isn't it? I mean, when I can still squeeze in my daily viewings of "Power of Attorney" and "Talk Soup", I can't be hurting for television time.
Well Fab... I tried it for a few days... cause I have exams... well I bloody well had to set it back up for a legitamite reason and now I'm bloody hooked again!

Oh my god, Sol's actually one of the walking undead.
I wonder if he has that "no-shagging"-curse on him? Even if he doesn't, it's a good excuse...

Don't say that!!! I'm currently playing "Blair Witch - Volume One: Rustin Parr" and it's extremely scary!!!

Well, I'm back. Not much is different. Oh well. Ended up being an experiment in seeing if I can go for a while without the thing. Now I know I can. INteresting experiment. Oh well.

It must have been interesting, if you've managed to sun up the experience with "oh, well".

Well, nothing wonderful and exciting happened. Just an average week, only I wasn't on my computer.

But what'd you do with the time you didn't spend on the computer? Maybe I should do that some time and get around to some of these books I keep buying and not reading.

Well, mostly I just did some homework. Monday I visited my cousin, Tuesday was Hallowe'en, Wednesday I didn't do much until Voyager came on, Thursday my cousin came over here, and Friday I went back on.

That wasn't a week. That was Monday to Thursday. Just over half a week. And you had Haloween and cousin fun during that time. What about a week when Haloween (or other evil pagan holidays) isn't, er, present, hmm?
