Anyway, the "IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT" that I have is that I am going to be taking a break from the message boards and chatrooms (not just Storm2k either). I do not know how long this break will last. Maybe a week, maybe until next hurricane season. Or I may never come back. I haven't decided.
MIND YOU, this is only partially in part to today's chatroom events. Maybe about 15%. I had actually thought last night about taking a break for an extended period, because I felt that my time on the Internet was taking away from my schoolwork, which is always more important than any chatroom. I feel that Storm2k and the other boards have become an addiction, an obsession of mine, and NOT THE GOOD KIND EITHER. I am in the chatroom constantly, at times over 12 hours each day over the weekend. That is TOO MUCH time to be spending in front of a computer. Because of my prolonged time on the computer, my performance at school has declined a bit (not too much but enough to take notice) and I am more apathetic about school. Maybe this is all a part of being a senior, but I do know that being in the chatroom is not helping.
With all that said, after Isabel has moved inland and died, I will be taking a hiatus from the boards and chatrooms. Thanks for listening to my rambling, venting, etc. I will be thinking of you all. And I hope you will think of me, and hope that I actually go through with this. It will be difficult...but in the end it will be for the better.
