A Holiday from The Internets

[Shaun]

I hope your exams went well, Shaun.

Thanks Jess/Quina. They went generally okay but I won't find out till two months time! Didn't you have exams? Hope they went well.

EDIT: Might as well say thanks to SapphireStar too. Did you take exams? Aren't you at Uni? Oh yeah, tell your boyfriend to get SWAT 4. If he likes Counter-Strike, he'll love that.


Dearest Leeza, I'm not trying to turn this into general discussion but this is within the topic of exams hindering our eLife. I will try and stay on topic though.

I only have one GCSE left, and that is the dreaded History Paper 3. Overall, I think I did pretty fine for my exams, especially in English and English Literature.

Hm... about 4 days, when I went to Washington DC, actually? That's all that comes to mind. I'll be gone from it for 8 days though, when I go on my cruise in a few days.

Um..longest ive been gone is...I think about a week. I was pretty sick and couldnt get on All better now

I don't know, about a week maybe. I need to take a few weeks break from the internets though! Probably over summer time.

[B]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? [B]

About a month. I did leave the internet for an entire month when I traveled across the great divide back in 2004. What an amazing trip I had.

Man, you're lucky. The entire time I've been a part of this forum I've never been nominated for a Ciddie. I've been through 3 Ciddie competitions now and have never even been concidered........even when I used to be on here every day for hours

Oh well, next year perhaps *hint hint*

The longest I've been away from the net would either be when I left home to live somehwere else and couldn't be stuffed ringing the telephone company for a connection OR about two months ago when I went to Australia for two weeks.

No idea, actually. Not very long. The internet's pretty important to me... not just for forums, but for communicating with friends and people about anything, or just looking up things that I might need.

Of course, if for some reason I lost internet communication with friends, I could just call em. Good stuff, cell phones. *cough*testicular/ovarian cancer*cough*

Haha, I think it was...almost 2 weeks, last year. I just needed a break from all things internet. It was nice, although I don't think I have it in me to do anything like that again. To be honest, keeping in touch with friends is usually more important to me than exams. But perhaps I only think that way because I seem to do pretty well on tests/exams without any studying. If I really needed to prepare and study, things would probably be different!

Next year I'll be gone for about a month and a half though. I don't know what I will do if I can't get ahold of a laptop. Oh god

I've actually logged into EoFF using my mobile phone before and even checked PMs. Haven't tried posting or replying, but it generally worked. Costs a lot though (if you do it via Google you can turn off images - saves major cash). Going on UrbanDictionary with my phone is absolutely hilarious. Thank God for mobiles. They're certainly overrated, but even their minimal Internet capabilities have given me some form of justice.

Since I started using the internet regularly, I've not really spent a week away from it. The most would be a few days, at a guess. Having said that, I would spend more time away from it if I was, for example, spending time with Danielle instead. Maybe I'll take her on some vacation someday. But yeah, when we're together and there is no internet around at all, we don't tend to think about it. When we're together and it's around, the time we spend on it isn't large, just the odd voice chat or quick check of LJ's or something.
