    Default End of internet withdrawal

    Over the summer I was visiting with family members, (my Mom was even kind enough to make the visit a surprise for me, I didn't even know I was going until the day we left) and left without internet because they are one of the 10 people who still have Dial up.

    So when I wasn't spending time with them I played a lot of video games and reread the entire wheel of time series.

    What do you do when you have no internet access for a couple months?

    Cutting seems to relieve the pain.

    Wait, what is this like

    Is this like

    not eating for a couple of months?

    If so I think hospitalization would probably be involved

    For a couple of months? That is quite a long time. It is also a completely unrealistic scenario for me, as I would resort to getting internet access via my mobile phone. Even if it ended up costing me a few hundred bucks.

    I clicked the second option, and then I actually read your post. Two months, I would die! Right now I don't actually have internet. I browse when I have downtime at work, or I leech from the neighbors. If I couldn't do that I would probably shrivel. But I could go to the library or intrude upon a friend for things that I NEED it for, like job applications or registering for school.

    Usually when I go on vacation and there's no internet, I spend my spare time reading or playing portable video games. It's nice.

    It's really funny because I never had good solid internet access until I was about, oh, 21 or 22 years old or something, and I was fine. I read a lot and I played a lot of video games. I went online when I could, which wasn't often-- just between classes at school-- and sort of just dealt with it.

    But these days I'd go nuts. Work is bad enough (I don't have internet access while there).

    I went without Internet for a small part of the day yesterday and nearly died. I couldn't handle going without it for more than a few days.

    Apart from the fact I would probably fail uni, I'd manage alright. Probably get through a fair few of these games I'm meant to have finished.

    I would miss you bastards also but I would replace you with real life friends strangers who I would stick post it notes on and refer to by screen names.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    I think I could handle you leaving for a bit, just for this to occur.
