The Real Life Experiment: Day 1

We (okay, pretty much I) decided that it was time to experience real life. Basically, Chris has mostly grown up living a virtual life - that is, his life is video games, which he occasionally interrupts to do boring things, like work. Living with him has also gotten me somewhat into this virtual life thing, which I don't particularly like, even though video games are fun. For three weeks, we're going to play NO video games, and do real life things instead. This is an experiment, I say, because I want to see what Chris and I decide about how to spend our time when we've spent three weeks without the video games absorbing 1-6 hours of every single day.

So, since I finished my thesis (except for defending and final revisions), we started the Real Life Experiment today!

I really enjoyed it. I felt so productive. Here's what I did:

1. Went to church and taught primary with Chris
2. Had a really great talk with Chris
3. Went on a walk with Chris to my mom's house
4. Played with my cockatoo Samantha who is currently living at my mom's house since I can't have pets (Chris did a lot of the playing with her, because she likes him better, and he loves her. I played too, though.)
5. Walked back home with Chris
6. Made three pizzas from scratch
7. Watched some Big Bang Theory with Chris while eating pizza
8. Gave Chris a haircut. Sadly, I messed it up, but it's not too bad. Just shorter than I'd like.
9. Read 11 chapters in the New Testament.
10. Blogged.
