I'm going Amish for Lent

2010-02-16 21:39:33 ET This is my temporary-farewell / Lenten-accountability post. Yes, internet people of the world, I am going to be going without Subkultures.net until Easter. So there won’t be any updating or commenting or anything until then. Yes, I know this will break the hearts of about 3 people, but it must be done. How far along do you think my inactivity will get me between homepage 1 and page 39? My bets are on page 20. Maybe. We’ll see. I am basically giving up all non-essential internet usage. A friend of mine attempted this, and given this day and age and my addiction to hulu and youtube, it seems to be a challenge that I need. So yes, this Lent...I’m going Amish! I will, of course, still do things like check my email...boy it’s gonna suck though. I wonder if I should give my ethernet cable to someone for good keeping...haha. Maybe I could give it to someone, and if I come crawling to their door at 3 am begging for it so I can check facebook, they can then beat me with it. It will be good for me I guess. This will all force me to do things like...study, read assignments, and write papers on time and not at the last minute. But do remember, that Sundays in Lent technically don’t count as fasting days! Yes, with Sunday being the day of the Lord’s resurrection, they are considered days of celebration during which no fasting is to be observed. I’ll probably get in some Sunday internet time, but it will be limited to maintain the spirit of Lent just a wee bit. Now, I have been toying around with the idea of making my journal private. If anyone reading this is not a member of Subkultures.net, this means you won’t be able to see my journal ever again! Ever...unless I make it public again. I still have not decided if I will do this or not. If your life would be dramatically impacted in a negative way because you can no longer read my journal, consider emailing me and maybe I will reconsider the matter if a significant number of people simply cannot live without my inane ranting, college drama, irrelevant insights, pity parties, theological nerding, or monk celebrating. So, with this all in mind, I’ll see you all on Easter. I don’t anticipate much will happen between then and now, but who knows. The future is funny like that. GOODBYE INTERNET! I looooove you. If anyone should happen to run into a feral looking young lady with crazed, bloodshot eyes, it will probably be me around, oh, the First Friday of Lent going through withdraws... Ok. I’m stalling because I love the internet too much. Time to go...bye, interwebs! 3 comments
