the internet is stupid and overrated*

August 6, 2009 | bloggy things, geek things

I didn’t really know what I wanted to write about today. Then the record scratched. Someone hit the breaks and my world decided to explode into tiny pieces.

It’s every social media and internet addict’s worst nightmare. The internet decided to quit on me. And the True Blood thing? Well, that just added salt to my wound.

Funnily enough, I had just tweeted this the night before:

(Yes, I did. Ask my sister. She thought it was the funniest thing ever. But seriously, sometimes hashtags are just needed.)

And after all this nonsense today, I think the internet is just trying to spite me and show me who is boss.

But you know what, internet? I have other things to do. I have books to read, shows to watch, jobs to apply for and people to chat with on iChat. So mess with someone else’s connection, jerk. I don’t need you**.

* Just kidding! Please, don’t leave me.
** I lied, I need you. Please, please bring Twitter back. I promise not to talk back again.***
*** Unless you take my blog down again, then we will have a big fucking problem.

What did you do with yourself?? I spent the Twitter outage catching up on True Blood, I would have gone crazy otherwise!
.-= Erin´s last blog ..Confession Time =-.

I don’t even twitter that much compared to some and I’m dying today. DYING.

i thought of your tweet this morning when twitter wouldn’t work. what am i supposed to do now?!!

Yup, I wrote about the hashtag thing last week, I’m guilty of it too. Twitter being down scared me so badly, I actually started replying to emails.

Wordpress was being really slow in the middle of all of this too and I almost had a breakdown. I’m not kidding.

We need help.

um yeah twitter is all sorts of crazy today. and my internet is so slowing it’s driving me nuts, oh i’m such an addict.
.-= katelin´s last blog ..Send in a doctor. =-.

hashtags have become an incredibly important part of my life. I feel no shame in admitting that.

Oh! And I just downloaded the first five episodes of True Blood season 2 which I haven’t seen. Now I just need to distract Jason long enough to watch them.

Ha, I wrote about the same thing, too. If anything, at least Twitter being down makes for a decent blog topic.

Frankly, I wouldn’t even consider myself a crazy Twitter user. But WOULDN’T YOU KNOW, when I have the PERFECT photo on my cell to @reply to you yesterday, Twitter fucking bails. When I have a SICK guest post from my mother and I want to tweet about it from the rooftops, Twitter fucking BAILS. I had to resort to whoring it out via Facebook status – which I NEVER do with blog posts. (I mean, I just love my mom. But still!) WHAT IS THIS? This is when I want to call it Twatter.

PS: #Epichashtagtoday.

It’s days like this that I’m glad I’m not a twitter addict. Although I am a blog addict, so I’m praying my internet doesn’t poop on me!
.-= Taylor´s last blog ..TMI Thursday: Sex Dreams =-.

It is amazing how the world can seem to come to an end! Horrible!
.-= Mrs Soup´s last blog ..You Capture – You =-.

I have to admit that I felt (a bit) lost. Not lost in that my life has no purpose but lost, in that, how can I go on about my day without knowing what everyone is doing with theirs?

Twitter = 18034860640
Me = -546040670

omagad, imagine if these things are not only your addiction, but your dayjob. that’s the case with me. and it was strange to not be able to work.

it’s like a traffic jam but it’s in the series of tubes.
.-= nicopolitan´s last blog ..Before I Forget… =-.

When my internet goes down, it is downright painful.
.-= Larissa´s last blog ..Music to My Ears =-.

I cannot believe I wasn’t affected by the Twitter/FB/Internet debacle earlier today. I saw tweets about it, but I was too busy with work crap to notice. Maybe that’s a good thing?

Here’s to hoping the Internet is right for you again..
.-= E.P.´s last blog ..The final goodbye and some realizations =-.

Haaa I so wouldve gone crazy as well! I love True Blood.

seriously! WTF was going on yesterday!
.-= Amy´s last blog ..yes, i do suck. =-.

I seriously had the shakes yesterday. I needed me some twitterz.
.-= Lovesfool´s last blog ..Vote for pugglez =-.

I totally use hashtags in gchat. Seriously, we need to come with a hand signal or something so that we can use them in real life conversation (what’s that?)
.-= LiLu´s last blog ..TMI Thursday: I Hope He Called the Corner Pocket =-.

I don't even twitter that much compared to some and I'm dying today. DYING.
