It's odd how you never realise the importance of something in your life until it's taken away. Yes, I know it sounds ridiculous to say that about the internet, but think about it: could you live without the internet for a week? Ok, so you probably could... if you can call that living.
Just as I was leaving home I was on an organisation kick. I was organising everything: writing lists, putting things into piles, boxes, files, in alphabetical order, chronological order, and using more post-its than in my PA days. I used the internet/ a computer for quite a lot of this. Suddenly not only do I feel disconnected, but disorganised and pretty darn stifled actually.
I did all my writing on the computer, purely because I type as fast as I can think, so there's more of a flow. If I have to write I find I miss out things that I'll think of suddenly and not write down because my writing is still a few words behind my brain. Frustrating indeed.
So all in all being without a computer or the internet is pretty awful, but we're working on it*.
*I would like to express my extreme dislike for BT by the way, who have been nothing but wankers for the last month. We're going to Sky.
