writing here is good :) but i agree, it can be addictive, can swallow time, where perhaps more useful things could be achieved - but, strangely, i don't feel much guilt for it too often.
and given i can feel guilty about reading anything for fun, be it terry pratchett or any of the classics, or anything however factual not currently related to my course of study... its not surprising the odd twang of guilt at "time wasted" comes up... but then its my history. My life. There is something to show for the time, even if it is meaningless drivel. Besides i'm training myself out of feeling guilt for reading - given it stopped me being a book worm, and practically stopped me reading anything at all.
ho hum, that didn't make much sense... i should go get dressed and start being useful for the day! *grin* :) xxxxxxxxxxxxx
