Am I growing sick of the internet?

That's a question that has been lingering around like a bad smell of late.  I wouldn't say it has been plaguing me, because that would imply that I spend all of my time pondering largely irrelevant questions.  Which I don't.  Unless they're really good irrelevant questions.

But it has been sitting there, poking me from time to time.

If I'm not growing sick of the internet, then why am I spending all of my spare time reading instead of mucking about on LJ and Ober.net?

If I'm not growing sick of the internet, then why aren't I turning the computer on at the first opportunity and checking my email?

The internet used to be my one, dependable distraction at work.  What will I do now that its appeal seems to be waning?

There's an obvious answer to that, isn't there?  I should be doing more writing.

But it doesn't answer the question of why the internet is failing to compete with such fascinating diversions as Staring Out Of The Window or Teasing The Cat With My Dressing Gown Cord.  What's changed?  Has the internet become less fascinating?  Has interacting with amazing people lost its appeal?

Or have I changed without realising it?

Good point! Before this sudden shift, I seemed to spend almost every waking moment on the computer or the internet, so maybe it's time to look at how I spend my time. Thanks for that. :)

time?

Yeah, you could spend some of your Internet free time writing, then you could give up your boring mundane job:)

*grins* any time ^_~. I have phases like that as well, and know that it's because I'm at times not so good at balancing things.
