MAH INTERNETZ ARE BACK OMG

This is just a brief check-in post to notify anyone who might care that I had no internet access for the past two weeks. The ethernet port on my cable modem gave up the ghost, and it took me this long to figure out the problem and get it fixed. Needless to say, those two weeks have not been fun. ( Read more... )

Btw, I have only been back online for a few hours and haven't had a chance to look at much. I do plan to scroll back through those two weeks of flist and catch up with everyone - but, of course, that will take some time. So if anything momentous happened to any of my flisters since August 20th, I am blissfully unaware of it for the moment. Of course, I was able to check my private email at work - but LJ is simply one of those sites I never access from the office (just to be safe, since I have very little privacy due to my computer screen at work facing the open space between the cubicles, as well as the corridor). So I have been utterly deprived.:/ Same goes for all other fannish stuff. So if I'm quiet again for the next week or two, it probably means I'm busy catching up.:)

Not that I could keep from posting for too long - as this entry clearly proves (I barely got my connection back, I have TONS of stuff to read/look at/respond to, and what do I do first?... make an LJ post, of course :D). Yes, it's an addiction, and yes, I felt absolutely miserable without it. I don't even want to go into the amount of anxiety I experienced from not knowing how or when I was going to get my internet back. It would be ridiculous if it wasn't rather sad, really. But that's a topic for a whole another post. Now I have a huge pot of vegetable stew simmering on the stove, and my stomach is growling. So I'll be back later. *scurries off*
