It is apparently totally, depressingly true that my real life is more interesting when my access to the internet is "intermittent" rather than "literally constant". Of course, it's also spring, which means that everyone else is emerging from February and talking to other people.
I did do laundry yesterday, which is something I probably wouldn't have gotten done if I had a better means to distract myself; still, some parts of real life (especially the volunteering) have gotten a little intense, and I really miss being able to drop into Vidding Headspace and forget about everything else on earth for a couple of hours. I will note, though, that it is also nice not to have any fanprojects really demanding my attention. I am not the first person to note that never being bored is both a good and bad thing.
Anyway, I'm still on someone's computer an hour or two every day - an amount of time which, shamefully, doesn't even get me as far as responding to comments - so I've definitely cut back to a pack a day, not gone cold-turkey. Still, I am, notably, surviving.
A final, depressing note: I am going public with my McKay/Sheppard pairing fatigue. I have completely worn them out. I actually caught myself backclicking from McShep stories that veered above a PG-13 this morning. Argh. Maybe if we take a little break, McShep and I, it will put the zing back in our relationship.
