I'm also giving up chocolate but that seems irrelevant in comparison
Barely remember my last update. Probably some stuff happened since.
Reason for this update is that I decided, thanks to whatever madness possessed me, to give up Social Networks (twitter, facebook, livejournal, tumblr, and MSN so I won't beg people to send me links to shit) for Lent. It'd be so easy if I could just quit the entire internet, but since flights have to be booked and holidays have to be arranged and whatever other shit you need the internet for: I can't. So I'll keep google and my emails (and tfl because bus routes do my head in). I turned off all facebook and twitter notifications, and before midnight tonight I'll log out of everything and delete all the bookmarks so I won't be tempted to return as easily. I'm actually quite looking forward to it. No more stalking various profiles and thinking in 140 characters and don't even get me started on tumblr (all the spoilers I won't be exposed to!).
Also: I might actually establish a normal sleeping pattern. Get some proper reading done rather than just stay online for too long and then be too tired. Work on that ~real life~ journal rather than just putting everything on twitter til it's spread too thin. Calling the cutie more often rather than just chat on MSN (that said, I'll miss our tumblr exchanges). Actually going outside when it's sunny, rather than blog about how nice and sunny it is. The internet has become a filthy addiction to me and I'm gonna get it under control. "If you are not very careful your possessions will possess you". 40 days. I can do it.
That said: if anything comes up, feel free to email or text or call. My email is maximoala at gmail dot com and if you don't have my number you can always ask for it there :)
