Holy christ. *revels in internet*

[Spee]

At approximatly 7:05 PM on Monday, My webbernet put an e-gun to its head, and blew its megahurtz out.

So, no problem, I can go a few days without internet. Called Charter to get a techie over here, and they said Cool, he'll be there anywhere from3:30, to 8:30.

Day 1: Notice I cant play games online. Notice I cant look at shiny things for new computer. Horrible realization of boredom sets in. Run out and rent The Punisher for shits and giggles.

Day 2: Arrive home at 3:37, and look at the little note on the door. "Sorry, we missed you....Technician was here at 2:17" thus prompting me to WTF, and call them. Apparently, 3:30 to 8:30 isnt a real time slot, and theyll send another technician on Thursday, from 3-5. I prepare sword/trenchcoat in case highlander-isms are needed, as I live just down the street from charter HQ.

Day 3: Getting jittery. Find self plotting DnD to keep sanity, watch Lord of the Rings, FOTR for ideas. Visit ex-girlfriend, entertain german chick/ex. Come home. Need reason to validate existence.

DDR.

Break into my old house, that is now abandoned, and explore with MAG-LITE. I seem huge in the place, now. Drink coke, as Caffiene helps keep sanity.

day 4: I get out of school early, and arrive not 5 minutes before the charter dude. he just fixed webbernet. Am now revelling in communications. much :love: for the internet.

Days without internet are hardly days at all.

After Hurricane Charley, we had no power, and thus no internet. The first couple of days were really hard. Having no internet was almost as bad as not having air conditioning. We started hallucinating and typing on our keyboards, pretending we had internet. After a few days, sanity started coming back to us slowly, and we resorted to :gasp: reading books.

[Giovanni]

The Internets, the plague of the third world. :lol:

[Sputty]

Yaeh, no internet sucks.
Once I was literally sitting here just staring at the 404 error

[Setari]

haha. i went without internet for 14 days last summer. or air conditioning...or any power.

[OfaLoaf]

Eh, Charter usually is better than that.

[Rbstr]

this summer i wnet for a total of a month without net, and 3/4ths of it was without power.


It about drove me insane after teh first few days of being isolated with someone you start to run out of stuff to talk about.

I can usually go for about a week without the internet. Usually on a skiing holiday though, I almost had a nervous break down having no PC for over a week when I wasn't on a holiday a while ago.

Now I'm sorry, I don't wanna be rude and all but that's kinda pathetic don't you think?

[Octavian]

Posting on PSU is a little nerdy don't you think?

[Rbstr]

well in the middle of summer nobodies around and the computer is like my only non-family interaction, being on BH's TS is like going to a friends house to do something(only without the acctual movment) infact i reguard a great many of them as good friends.

[Giovanni]

I wasnt saying that to insult you mate. I was just saying that maybe you need a break from the internet if a week without it makes you go into a nervous break down.

[Hezzy]

No. The IRC krew are so fucking 1337, they eat cereal for breafast. AND SOMETIMES FOR LUNCH.

So fucking 1337.

[Kam]

I love my computer. I named it, and yes, I talk to it when I'm alone. The scary thing is, I think it beeps in response... Anyway, I went for six weeks over the summer without TV, cable, plumming and electricity. (Camp) My friends thought I was dead, seriously.

could you maybe elaborate a little more?

[Spee]

The modem went kaboom.

[Everay]

when i dropped my 80 giger about a month or two ago, i was sad, but then i got better, i read books, and i felt better too, then i get a new HDD in this comp, and im addicted again, and i want to stop, but i just cant!

[Indecisive]

Hey, I diddnt have interweb for 2 weeks thanks to verizon, so you can bite me :(

[WritheNC]

The few times my internet went down for 5 days or more, I became a productive member of society.

Reading books, going to bed early, showing up to work on time. It was freaking scary!

[Triggar]

:lol:

That was another weird thing about not having the internet - I got on a normal sleep schedule! I fell asleep when I was tired, and woke up when I was rested! It was weird...

[Wraithlord]

I think I spend more hours reading a day than I do on the internet, its not like I'm an intellectual or anything, its junk food for the mind (fantasy and sci fi)

[Octavian]

Damn, I remember when I used to read. I stopped doing it regularly a couple of months after I joined here.

[NightWalker XI]

yup, after previous experience and sotries I have come to the wise conclusion that the internet is a very addictive drug.
