The first couple of days without internet weren't too grueling- after all, it's nice to have a break from the technological world. But after a week had passed, we were all growing restless. Questions that were usually answered through internet access were left ignored, and consequently tormented our inquisitive tendencies.
They were important questions,too, such as "I wonder if my inbox is flooded?" or "What in the world could I make with these leftovers? If we had the stinking internet I could google a recipe!" and, of course, "I wonder if anyone has liked my last status? Dag-nabbit-someone had better!!! Not that I would know if they did or not because our internet is still down...hahahahaha! *twitch*"
As you may have observed, with each passing day our circumstances became more dire. Eventually we all developed twitches and felt our minds slipping into the abyss of insanity.
But just as my mom was on the brink of being sent to the loony bin, a repair-man came and linked us once again to the modern world! We could have kissed the ground he walked upon.
We even had a moment of respectful silence when one of us logged into facebook for the first time.
Now, I am happy to report that our sanity was restored, and we're all back to normal now, despite the occasional twitch of the eye or mouse-clicking finger.
And though it was a painful lesson, I learned a lot from this experience- the most important thing being this: internet isn't everything, but almost everything is dependent on the internet. Sadly, including most of our sanity.
*This blog is mostly fictitious, though I do advise that if your internet gets shut down for more than 24 hours to invest in professional counseling, and maybe a straight-jacket.*
