The sound of silence...sortaBetween AIM, my cell and real-life convos I feel like I’m constantly talking or chatting or texting. Last night, I decided to take a break from it all. I stepped outta my house gadget-free and decided to exist totally unplugged for a while. Even though my neighborhood isn’t exactly peaceful (I live in the city), it was refreshing to get away from the buzz of all those electronics.I got to take in the whole scene. There were two college students flirting while walking with their bikes (aww!). The kids at the café table next to me were dishing about their fierce pickup soccer match. Everyone was outside, enjoying the gorgeous night. It was super-relaxing, and I didn’t talk to a soul. My unconnected moment lasted about an hour. When I got home, I checked my email for the millionth time and called my friend Jon about our (healthy!) dinner plans. Then I got back in the chill-out vibe and did a half hour of yoga. Ahhh...
Hearts, Katie A.

That is such a good idea to do sometimes, I do that a lot when i go to my cabin. It's really peaceful up there and I can just breath. My sisters school recently just did "Turn It Off Keep It Off" week. It was really hard, because you had to turn the tv, computer off.

Mod, There are so many new mods here, (I think) how many new ones are there?????
There are three new interns, but as far as I know, I'm the only new mod! There are lot of other interns that mod, though. xoxo, Abbie

I love being 'unplugged' every once in a while. Sometimes I just need that quiet time to myself. Or until someone calls me on the home phone. (Can't unplug that while parents are grocery shopping!)

I can't live without my gadgets, but it IS nice to get unplugged every once in a while. I like to read or ride my bike a lot. Or sometimes I just take a walk outside for a little bit.
