Back Up
It's interesting how just a few little changes will cause many more big ones. For example, over the past year I've become rather, well, addicted to facebook. It's so easy to spend hours upon hours doing absolutely nothing! Well, I finally got fed up with myself and decided to just not log on for a week. Alright, so check this out...
...so far no one has died.
...I've actually started writing again.
...I've had more real conversations instead of stupid, meaningless messages on other people's walls.
...oddly enough, I'm happier without the facebook drama!
My advice to you? If there is something you find yourself addicted to, no matter what it is, take just a week away from it and see what happens. Maybe you don't need to watch TV as much as you think. Maybe the world won't end if you don't IM for a week or if you even didn't check your email more than once a day. Take a step back for just seven days and let me know if your perspective changes. Mine did.

Wow. Not a bad idea. I think I'm going to put college off for a week and see what happens :D
No, just kidding - awesome post :) I might just try that (@ facebook)...
I like Alex's idea about college. But I don't think my professors would. Hah!
And in all seriousness (if that's even possible with me), I think your suggestion is awesome! I have done small breaks like this from certain things and it has helped! Perhaps I should stay away from IM more often. I may actually get more done by not talking to dead guys.
