So. . .the best way to deal with this is my way. No TV, I never turn on the radio or watch movies, concerts or anything else, am comfortably celibate and only happy to not deal with messes or compromises made with fellow mortal flotsam, and just live for cats, political research, and sharing what I find. Also never deal with anyone but my circle of 3 other individuals of personhood (flatmate included), unless I have no choice.
I really do see a social life as a liability. Especially since my attention span regarding the association with another is about 10 minutes. I can spend hours on a book, but. . .it's like TELL ME WHAT YA GOTTA TELL ME TO GIVE ME THE INFORMATION THAT I NEED, AND GO AWAY! I HAVE RESEARCH TO DO. And you have no idea how I hate to go shopping or clean the flat or do other obligatory things that mean time away from the computer.
Am I an information addicted bastard, or what?
