I'm off on a journey
I liked the Joan of Arcadia episode tonight. It was new and really cool. ^^;


In other news, I'd like to announce that I'm leaving the 'net, at least for a while. The minimum would be a month, but I'm pushing for two months. I'll let you guys know in about one month, on the ides or March. This isn't a stunt or a random idea. I've been thinking about it for the past couple days and it is appealing to me.

I realized I spend more time online, and obsessing over online occurrences than I do IRL. I need to think about all of them, and all my online relationships, and put my life in perspective.

Charles said once that this is all just pixels on a screen. Chris (JC Baggee) told me that online forums are just bits of HTML that change every so often with opinions. He also said that it's easier to hide behind an IP address.

Some things online aren't as real as real life. I shouldn't take everything online, every friendship online, so seriously, and yet I do. Granted, this doesn't mean that if an online friend moved to my town, I'd ignore them completely (infact I'd be ecstatic), but some of the things that happen here, I shouldn't get so worked up about.

I need time to think about things that have happened online. I need time to start being a little less passionate about online things.

I guess you could say it's a journey for me. It's really reflection of situations and self reflection, too.

Odd, how I can see an online friend screaming "BS, Roxie." Heh. see? I even think about what online people would say.

Heh. During this period, everyone on my AIM buddy list (you can only IM me if you're on it), will be taken off, save Chris for AHB purposes. I will stop posting at OB, I will stop posting on myO. The only place where I will remain online is at AHB, because of moderator duties.

I leave on February 15th. I will perhaps, keep Ed(non OBer) on my b/l until the 16th, to talk one last time after our meeting, but that's going to be it. Sayonara everyone. I hope I come back...
