Last month my next door neighbors turned their wireless internet off. I was
stealing their internet for my own use....and it had just
gone...vanished.
I thought it would come back on in maybe a couple of days, a week
maybe.....no such luck.....
I never really knew how much i used (or relied on) the internet, i'd
get home from work, turn my laptop on and sit, surfing random shit on
random pages...
Even watching shitty tv shows on an endless list of streaming web
sites....checking out teenage girls on numerous galleries....playing hours
upon hours on Quake 3 or Street fighter Alpha 3, perfecting my skills,
against the same collection of people all who have the exact same routine
as me.
So the last of the month went by slow, well the days went fast, the
evenings were just plain boring.....
i tried to entertain myself...i played on my PS2....finished these games
Resident Evil 4
Ico
The Getaway : Black Monday
Final Fantasy X
I played my DS.....finshed Zelda
I also got creative
I actually left the flat, saw some real people, and some not so real
people.....
I went drinking in pubs, clubs and parties...
i got off my arse and went skating...
As of Sunday, iv had the internet, im back to surfing the net, but not half
as much as i used to......
I missed my truly beloved

Yeah, I didn't have net access sometime last summer, and had to resort
to using the free stuff at cafés and stuff. Eventually, I bought a
different wireless card for the laptop that enabled me to crack one of the
wireless networks' password, and that got me some net access again.
That card paid for itself!
i could never face the world without my own internets. it's just too
damn risky.
i just moved, and the 1.5 days without nets during the move almost drove me
to cut off someone's head on a tourbus
