It's like losing a limb, being without the internet.
Our internet has been on the fritz for several weeks now. It's hasn't been a huge deal because I could get online at school while I was studying, was away for a week, and in the meantime could generally get on using my downstairs neighbor's connection. (Ours isn't encrypted either. I am perfectly fine with him using ours when we get it working again). However, he turned his off a few days ago and hasn't turned it back on. One of my roommates is in charge of the internet account and she hasn't been too expedient about calling Verizon. I asked her this morning if she could please call today and she said if she gets the time... I pointed out that I need the internet to do church stuff as well as my job search. I said I would be perfectly willing to call them if she would give me the bill. She said something about the bill as she walked out of the room that I didn't catch, but she seems to be in this constantly irritated state around me and I just didn't want to dig anymore.
What she doesn't know is that I called customer service a couple of weeks ago in my frustration. They wouldn't really tell me anything, since I'm not her, but they did say we'd need to call billing. Is she not paying the bill?! I really hope that's not the case.
So I have these great pictures from my best friend from high school's wedding in November and our adventures in Wilmington, DE, as well as Thanksgiving with my old roommates that I want to upload and email to people. I don't want to drive a half hour to school every night just to get online when I have a perfectly good connection at home. So annoying!
Well now I have to get to work, but wanted to post because I'm going through update-my-life-for-the-sake-of-random-internet-people withdrawal. According to my site meter I have some readership in Alaska, which I find intriguing. Northern Exposure is one of my favorite shows, and in my heart I know every small Alaskan town is just like Cicely.
