    I've had too many shutdown days in the past. There's no way I'm participating in something that doesn't really seem to have a point. "Can I live without a computer for a day?" Yes. "Do I want to do it tommorow?" No.

    Would've thought this had something to do with saving a lot of electricity on one day, but it turns out it's just a do it because you can kinda thing.
    Anyways, I probably wont try this. tongue.gif

    Bah, I'm on my computer a lot less recently anyway so 24 hours without it would probably not be so hard. I have IT coursework to do though, so meh, not gonna happen tongue.gif.

    XD

    I shut my laptop off while I was at Harajuku today... I have no reason to purposely turn it off to purposely keep myself from interaction with people. XD

    this is the only way i can talk to my family. ;__;
