vovatPhilosophical Question of the Day: When your so-called "free time" is occupied largely with certain self-imposed obligations, even if these are FUN obligations, can it truly be considered free?
Okay, I guess the answer is yes. Still, though, it often seems like I almost force myself to do certain things on the Internet every day I'm online for a significant amount of time. I read all my e-mail (including mailing list stuff), write a journal entry, read other people's journals, and check a few Web-based forums. Of course, the whole reason I do these things is that they're fun for me, but I'll sometimes do them even when I'm not really in the mood. On the other hand, if I didn't structure my free time like this, I'd probably get bored. So it's not necessarily a bad thing, but it sometimes makes me feel like I have considerably less free time than I really do.
I really should spend more of my time looking for jobs, but that's just so frustrating for me. I've had so little luck in this respect that applying often strikes me as more trouble than it's worth. On the other hand, I DID get both of my current jobs around this time of year in 2002 and 2003, so maybe my time has come. I do have some résumés to send out. I also need to get a costume together for Halloween, and get a birthday present for my sister.
For anyone who's asked for a mix CD, they're coming along. I've actually finished![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
colleenanne's. I wish I knew how to make CD covers.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that Saturday was Weird Al's forty-fifth birthday. So I guess I'll mention it now. Happy belated birthday, Al.
