I must confess...

I didn't quite "come to realize" this so much as I have merely pondered this subject as of late. Chatting is such a massive waste of time for me. Now before you guys roll your eyes so hard that they practically fall out of your sockets, hear me out, okay?

Four hours of "precious" time can easily go by when sitting in front of the computer, typing away as I converse with friends over MSN/ICQ. For instance, I was chatting with a friend once around 10:00 p.m., and I realized that four hours still remained before I would get cut off. "Four hours?!" he said. "That's a lot of time. We're not going to be able to chat for that long!" At 2:00 a.m., as I was about to be cut off, our conversation was still going strong. The conversation didn't concern any constructive or important matters, but heck. Chatting is chatting is chatting. There went four hours of my life down the drain.

So you may have guessed that it's not the first time. Ha! By far, I tell you. Will I actually act upon this to correct my habits? Probably not. I suppose it's quite trivial, for ME at least, as to why chatting is so addictive. Again, for ME at least. Everyday I get a good dose of clickity-clacking on my keyboard, annoying the heck out of my dad until he's literally ready to sh'it a brick. He can't stand the way that I type. I can't help it though - you can't blame me for typing fast but extremely loudly.

I suppose that ridding myself of this addiction really would free up a lot of time for me to do other things. Like...find another bad habit. Ha.

Seriously though. I believe, if anything, sleeping earlier would do me a lot of good. I don't get cut until 2:00 a.m. each night/morning, and, being me, I obviously don't shut down the computer until then - if not later.

I should eat my words though. I know that I won't take corrective measures. Hence, I'll shut up now.
