A break from some parts of the internet

Here's what I wrote in my Alphabet post last week:
I'm also thinking about doing a blogger/internet break. I feel like it is kind of necessary. I have several reasons. The last time I was off the computer for more than one day was in July when I was in the nowhere of Denmark!

And that's what I'm now going to do. A break.
2 weeks long, maybe 3. Starting tomorrow, February 1st.

This is now the second time that I'm trying to write this post. It's so hard. I don't know what to write about.
I think the best thing is to keep it short.

I NEED a break.

The main reason is, that I have to concentrate on my life a bit more (my life away from the internet...the internet is a part of my life) because it got complicated again which is not what I expected and wanted.
And I want to spend less time on the internet (it isn't a secret that I spend most of my time in front of my laptop).

When I'm around the internet I spend my time only on four pages.
Gmail
Blogger/Google Reader/ your blogs ;)
YouTube
Twitter

I'll take a break from Blogger/Google Reader and YouTube.

YouTube: I'm a bit addicted and I spend way too much time there. That's why I want to spend 2 (or 3) weeks without watching YouTube videos. It's going to be easy. It's not that I won't survive a day without watching a video, it's just an addictive thing if you watch one video and then the next and the next...I can't stop until I fall asleep.
That's why I need a break.
Exception: I'll watch new Vlogbrothers videos. I can't live without them and I don't want to live without them and they are worth watching (not like a lot of other videos I watch which are just for entertainment).
Means 6 (or 9) videos the next 2 (or 3) weeks. That's like NOTHING. I calculated that there are almost 80 new videos in my subscription box every week...so yeah...
But enough YouTube talk!

Blogger/Google Reader: I'm not addicted to those things. I love Blogger and I love your blogs. I'm more sorry to tell you that I won't read your blogs the next weeks than to announce that I won't blog. Honestly.
I love blogging. But at the moment it's completely impossible.
My current life doesn't fit into blogging. I have no ideas what to write and even this thing here is hard. I can't blog as long as my life doesn't work.
Sorry.

I'll also take a break of every other page on the internet. I'll only use Gmail, Twitter and pages I need for university.

I'll still be around gmail, because I don't have friends in real life at the moment. All my friends are on the internet and even my friends from school turned into internet contacts, mostly because most of them (2 of 3 :P I never had lots of friends) are currently in Sweden.

And Twitter. Because it is fun. And it helps to be informed about everything and anything.

So if you want to know what I'm doing and thinking during this break, you can read my Twitter and feel free to follow (if you have a Twitter account) or write me an email.

I'll miss you a lot! :(
But I hope that this break will help me with my life.

Feel free to leave comments, I'll read an publish them (though I'm still around Gmail), but I won't reply to them. If you really have a question, write an email or use Twitter :)

See you in two weeks or in March (can't believe it!!!)
Bye!
