this thing happened
Sep. 6th, 2013 06:10 pmI don't really want to get into it right now but I'm in this weird phase where I'm like, re-evaluating all my life choices and goals because I don't like where I am and I want to get out.
Anyway one of the fantasies about getting out I've had was being a hermit, and I mentioned it to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
niqaeli and she says, "....would your hermitage have *wifi*?" and I said I dunno, maybe
I've been trying out a thing of not actually wifi-free life but less wifi life where I turned off email to my phone and I haven't actually been on tumblr for a week, that was super easy to give up actually, and I think what works for this is one hour a day in the evening on the internets? Which I spend sorting through my email to see if there's anything I actually want to read, and talking to people on IM.
(And like, I haven't posted meaningfully on dreamwidth in months and months, but now I do? go figure)
so I think I might stay with this? Like. At the very least I think I'd like to run the experiment a little longer. One thing I was curious about was whether my sleep schedule would be affected at all if I wasn't staying up late to tumbl or whatever. Answer: no, my internet habits developed because my ability to sleep is fucked sideways, not the reverse. But I kind of. I don't know. It's a thing I'm working out still I guess.
But anyway I'm super not keeping up with anything that doesn't land directly in my inbox or say hello to me right now, so if anyone is interested in being my email penpal buddy or IMing in my one hour a night, you should say! (apparently my hermitage of less wifi involves inviting people to contact me...)
