I'm already becoming more anxious/apprehensive about this whole endeavor... Since today was my boyfriend's birthday, I was able to spread b-day cheer via the ol' 'book... I won't be able to do stuff like that as of next week!
The most common comment I hear about my effort is: "Just moderate your use." Well, friends, moderation's never been a thing I've mastered. Not in drinking, not in karaoke (노래방 for my 친구s in 대한민국), not in TV series ("Glee," "Homeland," "House," "The Newsroom," "Borgen," "The Office," "Sex and the City"....), not it books (I sometimes can't do anything until I finish a good book!), not in most aspects of life. (On the bright side, this obsessive side of me makes grading a less daunting task, as I stay pretty up-to-date on that kind of stuff.)
Ahem.
So I'm going to take the 3 months off and re-evaluate this whole "moderation" thing... I'll give it my best shot (at FB anyway), come December. I think the 3 months away will remind me what I can do *without* being too addicted to a social-networking site. (Like blog. Or post on Google+. Dammit.)
Anyway, I'll eventually try the moderation thing, but for now, cold turkey's it. I find my level of anxiety interesting at present, as I feel it shouldn't be this difficult to let go... :/
Ok. That's it for now... Those of us in Korea have a 5-day weekend to celebrate the lovely holiday of 추석, roughly akin to the American Thanksgiving.
Cheers!! :)
