I'm an Addict!

Ha, knew that would get your attention. But seriously I think I have an addiction. To the net! So I've been "net-less" for about 2 weeks. The only access I had was through my phone to go on MSN, but that was actually a waste of time as I kept getting cut off every 5 minutes.

I have felt SOO cut off from the world it's unreal! How on earth did we survive without the internet? Before the net it was phonecalls, letters oh and actually seeing people.

I have a friend (yes I do have them), well actually a best friend; I have withdrawal symptoms when I don't speak to him for a few days. He was meant to call me one day, and then another day, and then another. I didn't hear from him. I then speak to him online on the rare day that my phone decides to connect and he says "I'm not a phone person". Not a phone person??? What's that all about?? How do "non-phone" people survive? How did they survive when they couldn't text or email or facebook? Have you noticed that nowadays when you go out and meet someone, it's never "What's your phone number?" it's now "What's your Fcebook/Twitter/GaydarMyspace/Email?" the list goes on!.

I have a feeling that in a few generations time, the world will be full of "non-phone" people and phones will be nothing but a time in history.

I found myself getting almost depressed because I couldn't catch up on the latest satus updates of my "friends" on Facebook. I couldn't check my emails, and of course I couldn't write on my blog! So I've now admitted to myself that I am an addict. I've made the first step to a recovery.
I've decided that it's time for me to find something else to fill my time with other than just the net! If the whole net decides to just die one day what on earth would we do at 2 o'clock on a Wednesday night?

So I decided to go through my collection of books. Some I completed, some that look like they should still be on the shelf in the store I bought it in and some that I got bored off at the penultimate chapter. So that is now my new hobby. Reading. I aim to read a book a week (maybe more). I have so many books that I need to delve into, that it should stop me from being addicted to this thing they call the net!

I just hope I don't end up with yet another vice and then loose all control!
