Writer's Block: Cold turkey tremors

[Error: unknown template qotd]
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.

Yay!

I just reserved my hotel room for NOLOSE! Yay!

(Well, not room, ROOMS. The only choices with fridge/microwave combos are the suites, which are $20 more a night, but I'll save $20 a day by eating my own food anyway, and I love the idea of having both a nice big room to retreat to if I want, and a nice big room for people to visit if they want. If they can do stairs, that is. No elevators, boo!)

(no subject)

I have this strong urge to write to cute-poet-chick and invite her to NOLOSE, because it's exactly the kind of thing she would love, and the kind of thing we should have gotten the chance to go to together. Don't suppose she'd wanna drive 500 miles to go to a con with her ex-wife, though, huh?
