Holy christ. *revels in internet*


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 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.

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?

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.

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.
