I’ve done possibly either an incredibly stupid or incredibly brave thing.

As part of an experiment (by whom I shall not say, except it’s not for my parents–and this will be published, where I shall not say for now either), I have agreed to spend all of Saturday–

–without my computer. I.e. I’m not allowed to turn it on, use it, touch it, or look at it. Ok maybe the last one is a bit extreme but you catch my drift.

I’ve become extremely attached to Isadella. First thing I do in the morning is flip her open and press her buttons to turn her on (ooh, this sounds saucy) for my daily dose of emails, blogs and news. Not to mention my music, and old episodes of Sex And The City when I’m extremely bored. And of course, there’s MSN, where I catch up on my goss and talk to the Kiwi for hours on end…

OMG I’m suffering withdrawal symptoms already as I type this. I’m being seized in a chokehold of panic and neediness. 24 hours without my computer, can or not? Plus I’m stuck at home being my brother’s chauffeur to church and back, I’m broke, parents will be camping in Cameron’s, I’ve pretty much finished all the studying I need to do…

24 hours, can I do it? o_O

I mean you may think I am completely overreacting (and fair enough, I may be), but think about it right, how dependent are YOU on YOUR computer? As your connection to the rest of the world, etc? I’m already in a state of panic, trying to round up friends and convince them that they have to come out with me on Saturday night to help distract me from my computer.

Honestly, I have attachment issues with Isadella :/

Though after all is said and done, as Dennis said, this will be more than just a social experiment, it will be a test of discipline and willpower–two qualities which I think I am sorely lacking. And it may be a good time for me to catch up on reading, and cleaning my room, sorting my closet according to colour…

Yeah. Gimme ideas on what to do, folks. I’m getting the shakes thinking about it.

Hand me my cigarettes. Oh hold on, I don’t smoke. Raaaaaaaaaaaah.
