A week unplugged..

Ok so this past week I had no internet. I was like a junkie, sneaking looks on people's iphone, begging to log on real quick just to get a peak at my beloved facebook. I dreamt about email. So how was? Here's a play by play:

Day 1- It was more like evening 1. I had internet all day and had already youtubed/facebooked/googled/music-ed myself out so it was fine. A piece of cake.

Day 2- Withdraw already set in. Internet cafe for an hour. I had so many notifications though that it was worth the one pound.

Day 3- Broke down and used my phone. I hadn't talked to my sister or my parents in days and it was just weird. Sorry Mom, hope the bill isn't too high this month. More internet cafes.

Day 4- Friday. Went to my friends house to check my email and facebook. No notifications and roughly a million emails. I'm dead on facebook. Figure that I'll have to take a lot of pictures this weekend if I want to get my facebook activity back on track.

Day 5- Too hungover to care. Have replaces facebook with texting, burning through phone credit like Charlie Sheen burns through porn stars.

Day 6- More hungover, too exhausted to be social.

Day 7- Monday. Watched TV the entire day.

So the secret to being unplugged is to replace one addiction with another. I can certainly give up internet if I submerse myself in television, alcohol, and phones. It was actually very relaxing to back up a few decades, I felt like a technological pioneer. And don't worry my facebook activity went through the roof this weekend, notifications galore.
