Facebook Demons and Other Repercussions of Being Addicted to the Internet
Currently, I am in a foreign country and enjoying it immensely. But the withdrawal process has been admirable and torturous. For the first six days I had no access to a computer with internet. And every compy that did have service costed an enormous amount of euros to work with. Plus, the keyboards are terra incognita. This unexplored territory has the @ symbol on the right, where the ummerrrrrr something-or-other key usually is. And while the basic QWERTYUIOP setup is the same, the symbols are still confusing. In the words of a fellow traveler "That euro symbol will be my damnation." At the moment, I had a WTF moment. But recovered quickly into understanding when I used the computer myself.
Other than that I have done very little- danced in a few graveyards, read a few books, watched some foreign punk bands (the usual). I just wanted to check in a little bit as I have this sparse five minutes. Aren't you glad that I spent it with you? *livejournal users everywhere groan*
Like this- but dark and creepy
Also- I am reading the Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon and it is amazzzzzing. Everyone should read it. Like right now. As a matter of a fact I need to get back to it. So farewell for now- perhaps I'll update you once more in my travels.
