Through the Getting Up Earlier Challenge, I have been forced to look my problem full in the face. I can't deny it or ignore it anymore: In my life, the computer (specifically the Internet) has become my master instead of my servant. I sit, late at night, staring blearily at the screen, knowing I should be in bed but too mesmerized by the magical grip of Youtube, or Blogger, or even...Holy Worlds. Over the years, this problem has gotten worse, until I'm so sleepy the next morning that I'm useless.
I am sick and tired of living this way, so...
I am staying off the Internet until February 13 (unless I need to use it as a tool, instead of entertainment device).
I will complete the Getting Up Earlier Challenge while I'm gone, and try to get priorities lined up.
With the computer off, I can go to bed at a decent hour, and have more time during the day. I don't want to be useless anymore.
But I'll miss y'all.
I might be on here a little bit tomorrow, but, after that, my Internet-free adventure begins. 
See you after that!
