Date: 2012-02-19 07:24 am (UTC)a couple of years back I spend ungodly amounts of time reading RSS and Twitter feeds, getting all het up and indulging Internet Arguments. I only stopped when my computer froze. Literally froze. It was in a conservatory that regularly hit -5.
I trimmed down the noise, completely stopped watching TV, ignored Twitter, cut my RSS feeds in half and stopped Arguing [thanks, xkcd]
I still have far too many RSS's and use them to fill the time when I could be doing Uni work or tidying my flat.
