First of all I wanted to thank Zanzibar, The-Muffin-Man, randomjunk and fakebil for your very helpful advice in my last entry. I don't know if this weekend I'll be buying those books from Barnes & Noble, but I have College Board on my bookmarks so that I can do at least the SAT question of the day. They also have a practice test and other questions that I can work on besides just the one on the day.

My task is temporary and has nothing to do with the SAT or colleges of any kind, but it's something that I want to test myself on. I'm trying to kick a bad habit as well as putting towards what I'm supposed to be avoiding.

Day One:

I decided while I was at work, that I wasn't going to text anyone for 4 days. Starting today, through Sunday. I'm not going to be initiating any kind of texting conversations. If someone texts me, I'll decide then whether I'm going to answer or not. My sister is the exception. We text each other things when we don't feel like actually getting up to vocally ask what we want to ask the other one.

But anyone else? No. Number 1: I want to see if I can do it. I don't think I've gone that many days without and I think it'd be a good challenge for me. Number 2: Simply not getting any text messages from Jacob is better in the long run, emotionally, than sending him a text to try and initiate conversation and be ignored. Number 3: I want this weekend to focus on other things besides how much I feel I need to be around my phone. Pretty much anything counts ... I know I'll be watching Hulu at least a few times this weekend.

So yeah. This is day one. I've not sent any text yet today to start up a conversation. I responded to one text from a friend, but that's it. The first day will be easy. Tomorrow will be almost as easy, but just a little harder in the evening. Saturday and Sunday when I don't have even just the 8 hours from work to distract me, is when I'll really be putting myself to the test. I tried to go a whole week, starting on a Monday and I think I got in as far as Tuesday ... I either wasn't trying very hard or I just gave up because of the flow of incoming texts. I can't remember why I did't succeed in going from Monday to Friday. Oh well. That was then; this is now.

Wish me luck ...

And I'm glad that I have Nutang. It's helping me keep myself occupied while trying not to go out of my mind. As crazy as the SB can get at times, this website really does help me keep my sanity ... on a less insane level ...

Good luck!! I'm sure you can do it!

sadly, i don't know if i could make it without texting. i'd be having way too many personal phone calls at work if i couldn't text.

i'm sure you'll manage!
