So

I got a meningitis vaccine today. It hurt and now my whole arm is stiffish. I had her do it on my right arm so that I could still practice, but the fingers on that arm are now so weakly that I guess it didn't make much difference :P Oh well, I will do the best I can.

But I am not here to talk about vaccines or meningitis or even weak harp hands. No no, my friends. I am here to announce that I am drastically cutting back on computer time. No more wasted hours looking at people's myspaces and facebooks. No more futilely and obsessively checking, then re-checking peoples away messages and profiles. No more cool blue glow penetrating my eyes and gradually giving me a computer headache.
No. Today I embark on a new journey: a journey that requires all of my time and energy- a journey wherein computer time simply has no place. There are so many books I long to read, so many songs I desire to learn, so many CDs I want to listen to, so many intervals I need to recognize, so many bracelets I yearn to create. I want to develop social skills that don't require an ability to type 50+ words per minute and keep track of 5 or 6 conversations simultaneously. I want social skills that require manners and tonal inflection. I want to learn, and exercise, and breathe fresh air. I want to focus on my relationship with God, not my relationship with my computer, or even the thousands of people who I can connect with through it (who can't do anything for me if God is not first doing everything for me).

If you want to get in touch with me, you can call me (847-962-9727) or e-mail me (parrymoppins@yahoo.com) as I will still check my e-mail once a day.

This is not a part of my hermitdom... I decided that while I would love to be a hermit, God would not love for me to be a hermit and ergo, I must find a place in society to try and "shine His light" into the darkness. And unfortunately, there is little opportunity for that online.
Ciao bellos,
Molly
