Since I got online in 1998, the longest time I've been offline was probably the three weeks I spent in Tokyo. I suffered no withdrawal pains. I didn't find it liberating. It was just what it was, and I didn't mind, nor did I come home and decide that the internet was totally irrelevant in my life or anything.
I guess I just am just really adaptable, and not terribly change-averse. Plus, I'm a little detached by nature. I don't tend to miss things (or people) when they're not around.
When I was first online, and falling in love with TOTGA, if my internet went out for FIVE FREAKING MINUTES I would hyperventilate and cry or go drive to a then-expensive internet cafe. I was completely addicted, both to TOTGA and to the new-to-me phenomenon of the internet. These days, not so much.
