A Holiday from The Internets

[Shaun]

Or vacation, to you Americans...

Yeah, I've had exams and stuff and I've really had to prioritise. So, that's why none of you have seen me lately. The exams are over now, and I have returned (yes, you can weep now). I really can't believe I missed the Ciddies though. I didn't think anyone here was bothered about me - I thought I could just fizzle away into the shadows without anyone noticing. I'm really glad I got some nominations though. I mean, there was being evil (oh, you know I am) and being nominated for being hit by a bus (it'll be that or a train one day, I bet), but I also got some votes for favourite regular.

I think it was eight votes, so, there's more members here who liked my rants and outburts and pointless advice than I thought. So, I thank those of you who voted for me (it's not like the Ciddies is a truly serious thing, but thanks anyway).

To put an end to my rambling, I'm going to set a topic to this thread: what is the longest time you've been parted from the Internet? Has it been on holiday, or during exams? Did it bother you?

Despite not having a connection at home, I usually go to the local libraries or use the college computers, so I often have an opportunity to get online. Anyway, how about you (yes, I know this whole topic is pointless, but I had to make a new one)?

Welcome back Shaun! Hope the exams went well!

I cant really say, hm. I guess it was when I went to Ireland last week for a week and a half with my family and boyfriend. He didnt like it cause he couldnt play CS. I was ok, didnt really miss it much.

My lunchbreak is about 1 hour so I would say that. Though, my drive to and from work is 2 hours (one way) so... during that time I am a somber, meek, and depressed individual. I actually tap the keys on my laptop, and try to pretend... but it just aint the same

I once did a three month break. There's some backstory involving how I wanted to leave this place behind and move on for whatever reason and stuff that led to my eventual return, but I won't bother going into it. Three months.

[Shaun]

I'm sure this thread will soon evolve into a 'How much of a geek are you really?' one. Three months? Crazy. But then again, thanks to my [strike]bastard[/strike] parents, I haven't had a connection at home for about a year and a half.

Also, may as well say it in this topic: who actually nominated me for those things? I'm just curious. Is there any way of finding out this, or would they have to tell me?

LOL exams.

I've been having my GCSEs these past couple of weeks, but I'm rock-hard and didn't bother revising.

[Jess]

I can't remember the last time I was away from the internet for more than like, 2 days.

... Oh god.

I'll be parted with it for a week in the summer though, as I'm going to Newquay with my boyfriend and friends for a holiday.

You can't escape the Internets. It is impossible.

Yes. You'll use your MOBILE PHONE!

It's true. Although I'll be on holiday, I'll probably end up coming online in an internet cafe or something.

...I'm always online. Infact, the only time I'm not online is when I'm either asleep or not at home.

EDIT: I hope your exams went well, Shaun.

My phone is apparently WAP enabled. I'll be buggered if I find out how to use it though.

Most recently, the longest I've been away was last year, for about week when I got married and went on my honeymoon...

Yeah, New Zealand doesn't have the Internet.


Hey, it was only a joke!
