The whole day was devoted to gaming. I was at another's home, and although I am positive his computer is open to me, I never seperated myself from the gaming (multi-link X-box playing) long enough to do anything but go to the bathroom or take a smoke break. Or eat. I know, I know... where do my priorites lie.As the time drew closer to midnight, my last chance to update for Saturday, I grew more anxious. So far, I've been able to post everyday, sometimes via endangering my job or through shear ingenuity (if I may say so myself).So, as the last minutes to update came closer I had to make a decision. To continue to post everyday (most of the time easily, and sometimes by rushing and reworking schedules) or to begin introducing a moderate journaling and thereby cutting myself off this obsessive cycle. (To back track a bit, my original plan was to type everyday, for at least 21 days so that I could make this part of my routine. I succeeded beyound my wildest dreams, I love it. I'm a journaler by nature.)As you guessed it, I decided on the later. I will most probably update everyday, but hopefully with my first none entry I will lose some of that urgency.Someone with a similar situation, see Manx.

Re:
Congrats on missing a day! The world didn't end, yeah!!! LOL I know what you mean, if you get in the habit of doing it every day it seems wrong if you don't!

Re:
Yeah, the world didn't end, but I did dream that night that I posted. When I woke up, I actually thought I'd decided to post the night before, because it was so realistic.Then I remembered, I didn't. I'm still on the fence over my decision. All these mixed feelings. But I'm trying to be positive...You're right life went on... for that I am grateful. My attempt at not being obsessive is only showing how much of an obsessive personality I have.

Re:
I think the trick is to learn to have fun without stressing over it... Also, I write stuff in advance to post on days when I don't feel like writing (it works well for me being bipolar... When I'm manic I can't shut up and when I'm depressed I can't think of anything to say! LOL)

Re:
I do the same thing.I've yet to be in a position I've not been able to write something (and I'm not saying it's because I've got GOOD things) but I write down ideas and full fledge entries so that Just-In-Case I can't write anything, I've got it.So, by learning to relax and not stress over it, it should be better... It'll just take time, I guess.

So did you suffer extreme mental anguish in the breaking of routine? *smile* We appreciate your voice, Nomad, but Reality Rules. Always.Know what's odd? I am not a journaler by nature. lol I am still not sure how I got into blogging....
