TM Response #350 - What should you just say no to?
Funnily enough, I should just say no to the Internet.
(Okay, maybe it's only funny to me.)
To be more specific, I should say no to the Internet when it's late at night/in the wee hours of the morning, when I should be sleeping especially if I have class in the morning. Which I do.
I guess part of me still behaves like that computer sprite on Lyoko, the one who didn't need to sleep and so could - and did - spend hours on end in one of the towers, surfing the 'net for any information I could find about Earth. I loved researching Jeremie's world and wanted to know as much as I could about it, not just so that I could successfully pass for a human but because I was genuinely curious about how things on Earth worked.
And, well...when XANA wasn't activating towers and attacking Earth, it was the only other way I had to pass the time.
After all of that Web surfing you'd think that by now I wouldn't have anything to look up, that I'd read it all. That's just not true. It seems like I'm constantly finding new websites to explore, or checking up on favorites that have updated. Sure, there are some sites I use for school and for my music. But the rest are purely for my entertainment, and those are the ones that always get me into trouble.
If only I could learn when to say enough is enough, to listen to my body and go to bed at a decent time instead of continuing to stare at the computer until I can barely keep my eyes open.
