OH MY GOD!

I needed that poll to wake me up! I didn't step out of my house door since 43 days exactly!!!!!


I went through stages like that, although my maximum was 19. I'm far better off since I stopped being a recluse but it's quite an easy trap to fall into if you're always busy.

Get out Dina

You sound like a prisoner, Dina! Go out and get some (hopefully) fresh air!

I never wanted a dog... Jul 18, 2007

I'm a cat person, and we have 3.

But the dog gets me out of the house for for 3-5Km per day and saves my sanity.

I may not *talk* to anyone except via email all day, but that's a different question.

At least twice a day Jul 20, 2007

Everyday weekday I have coffee with a friend at 9. After 6 I go out with my babies until dinner time. On Tuesdays I have lunch with my school friends and on Wednesdays with one friend from my last job. On Thursdays I have coffee after lunch with another friend. That means 2 or 3 times a day.

On weekends I try to stay most of the day out (even though the weather sucks here so we have to go a mall or to a bar) and try to go partying every Saturday (or Friday depending on other people'... See more

I'll die if I have to stay a whole day at home... c'est la vie! ▲ Collapse

A quasi zombie Jul 26, 2007

Recently I tend to get irritated if I am away from the computer for more than an hour or so.
Anywhere else seems either a waste of time or money or simply an unnecessary risk.
I 've been cutting down on sleep too, since I prefer a zombie state in which I can only really concentrate on the screen and the translation in hand...
JUST KIDDING, but if wasn't for other family members I could easily end up this way.


That is it. Can I sign this one with you, Mark?
I wouldn't be able to say it better. Just my family to keep me from becoming a zombie-part of my lap-top.
It is not that bad. I do go out to take care of my plants... and they are alive and beautiful.
