Debating quitting Runescape. Or at least quitting membres. I spend too much time on it.
I spend too much time on the computer in general...
I know it's an adiction.. it keeps me from being social in the real world, it keeps me from being social in my own house. Have to be online, ahve to check when someone IMs, have to always be around...
Juchan pointed out that we don;t do things together much anymore. We both sit at our computers all evening. I need to turn the computer off. I need to not feel this need to be so plugged in. I need to not bootit up the instant I get up or come home. It kills my productivity, it sucks out my urge to do things. I sit here, hour after hour, just looking atthe screen... I haven't made candles in months, I haven't done sewing stuff in over a year, even though I promiced people plushies.
I'm doing what I did on campus again.
I need to stop being so heavily involved in things that aren't real.
Runescape isn't the problem. It's yet another symptom. Before RS, there was KnN. There was Sims. There was Damocles. There was PF. There were so many things...
I've been hiding behind my computer my entire life. I need to stop.
There's more to life then what's online.

I've got the same problem. I can't stand being anywhere near a computer without having my messengers on or my email out and open. I can sit for hours at a computer and do absolutely nothing at all, literally. Just opening pages that I've opened a hundred times before and checking to see if there is any little tiny new bit on it.
Luckily, my "job" has taken my off of my college campus for a few weeks and gas prices have chased me away from my boyfriend's house so I'm having to cope with being computerless.
Just wanted to let you know that you're not the only one with a problem similar to this. It takes some adjustment to living a real life without the comp/internet but its possible... though you rip your hair out wondering about your online friends, your email, your games.
There does happen to be more to life than what's online, but its damn hard to see that until you chuck the thing out the window in a fit of blind rage. It hasn't come to that yet, but I've seen the consequences of my computer usage in my slipping grades... -sigh- Working on that one though.
