I lost t3h 1nt3rn3tz?
NUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I started off my day like normal. Brushed my hair, took a shower, rebrushing my hair... Everything seemed so peaceful, so proper, just like every other day. I could not have been more wrong.
It seemed like it would only last a few minutes at first, but gradually I realized the true horror of the situation: the internet was gone! I was stricken with terror. How was I supposed to get into my online classes? My life was going down a perpetual spiral like the loading sign on the upper right corner of my browser window.
My dad called AT&T, but they could do little to help. Still I continued to sit there.. At my computer... Typing endlessly about some narrative or another which I was hoping to post in my Gaia journal if the internet was to ever come back to me. It seemed like an eternity. I had started at noon, continuously reloading the page... Hoping... Praying that this time I would see that familiar screen— this time the yellow triangle with the exclamation point would cease to exist and I would be able to continue as if this horrid incident never happened.
It was half past noon... Things still continued as they were half an hour ago. My vision began to waver and my eyelids started feeling like two anvils were hanging off of them. My life could not continue like this. I thought that I could soothe my agitated nerves with music, but that was no help. It just reminded me of the times when I was listening to it in the past, where my life had so much more meaning— where I quested, read, played, worked, and altogether existed on the sites which I frequented.
The clock struck a quarter till one. The keyboard was starting to get short-circuited by an uncontrollable stream emitting from my sad, depressed eyes. I started to lose consciousness. It was bec0m1ng hrder 2 typ. grmmr was bcmng irrlevent. eys hrder 2 keep opn. hed gtting naturlly atract3d 2 kybrd. vtttttttttttttttytyyyyyyyyyyyyyygh
Then a miracle happened! A shout from the heavens from my beloved dad indicated to my weary soul that the internet was back up! There was hope in the world once more! Everything became all kinds of bright and shiny!
But...it did not last for long. Afterwards I was summoned to my superior's workplace, in which we had a looooong discussion about my...how did she put it?... "internet obsession."
