Internet Absence

Jul 14, 2010 23:36

So, as I posted on my twitter account, I'm taking a hiatus from the internet for a while. I waste far too much time on the internet, just literally staring at the screen like a drone. I love twitter, LJ, tumblr and fanfic.net but I get distracted by other sites and it takes up precious time.

I won't be a student forever, and I don't want to waste from free time I have mindlessly surfing the internet - there are so many books I want to read, movies and TV shows that I want to watch, my saxophone sits unplayed and not to mention the amount of writing time I waste. I am slowly becoming more serious and more confident about my writing, and I would love to do it professionally, but this means a lot of work.

I'm annoyingly inquisitve by nature and my wasted hours on the internet lead to me finding out things I don't need nor want to know. I just need some time away to get my life and act together, so I know that when I come back to twitter and my other sites, I'll be more self-disciplined.

I'll still be checking my email regularly and on MSN very occasionally, as well as reading/review fanfic updates and the like. And if you need to contact me, of course I'll reply. But for now I'm under the radar, trying to make sense of things.

internet, rl
