Better than solitaire?
-So, I just "validated my email address", so that, theoretically, I can post to other's journals. I think that I also figured out how to link to my "friends'" most recent entries. We'll see.
I know that I can have a problem with using my computer in a self abusive way. I've had to trash the games that became a problem, because I can find myself playing solitaire, for example, for an hour, totally unconscious, didn't mean to, but- poof!- three goes an hour of my life. I'm worried that this may turn into the same thing. It's even more seductive, because, hey, it's educational and it's community, right? What could be bad?
As with any other potentially addictive activity, it's about staying conscious and making choices. If I choose to spend a half hour to check in, and do that, that's ok, but if I sit down, because I don't want to do something else, and eat up an hour, that's not ok.
I'm nervous about it. We'll see.
That's enough for now.
