YUMA DID A BAD THING: Why Internet Deprivation Leads To Insanity (HC_BINGO)

Jun 08, 2010 13:07

I'm back from Mediawest and five days worth of no computer, no Internet, no WiFi, no email, etc, etc. I survived. (I think). I was not super anxious to get to a keyboard. Then again, days of just chatting, visiting, zine hunting, squeeing and the occasional, inconvenient hassle of calorie consumption might have had their part in that. Yes sir, I enjoyed MWC, reunited with friends and enjoyed being unplugged.

Then I got home and found my DSL was still down.



Yeah...not fun.

DSL is back now (yay!), finishing my Emergency fic, greedily reading others and drafting out my entry for startrekbigbang. I should have left it at that, but noooooooo...

I also signed up for hc_bingo.

-headdesk-

Okay, it's a longer deadline, could be fun, but really. This is an example of what happens when one gets Internet deprived for too long: one binges on any data packets that floats his or her way.

And to remind me of my insanity, my HC Bingo card of fic to fill by end of year or when I get bingo, whichever comes first.

toothache

loss of limbs / limb function

nightmares

earth blowing up, escaping to space

septicemia/infected wounds

pneumonia

imprisonment

post-traumatic stress disorder

fear of flying

burns

zombie apocalypse

nausea

WILD CARD

brain damage

stranded/survival scenario

ritual sacrifice

sore muscles

difficult pregnancy

stalkers / serial killers

brainwashing / deprogramming

homesickness

electrocution

Wish me luck!
