Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I am going to be away for the next three days, camping with my friends; basically, I am not sure when I will be home or online again because it appears that my internet is out at my apartment.

It could be my router having borked over finally, my internet connection just wigging out, or the fact I have forgotten to pay the bill this month (*foreheadsmack*), but before coming back downstairs to sleep at Strawberry's (which is where I am at right now) I checked it and could not get online.

So- TLDR, I may not have interwebs for at least a month. If that is the case then I hope that I can apologize for my absence; I will try to get back on as soon as I can.

Yeah, my net got turned off. It was not so much as I "forgot" to pay it as much as I had decided to save back what money I had for the weekend trip and camping- which, by the way, I now feel like a total toolbox over, seeing as we only "camped" one night out of the two nights, two and a half days that was originally planned.

So, yeah- I feel like I got exactly what I deserved for thinking the trip was going to be something different. Turned out that one friend got sick, the other I snapped her face off, and then my boyfriend got to put up with me as I raged about the entire mess for two days, before I finally managed to cool myself off about it. I feel bad that everyone had such a miserable time and I was pretty damn pissed at myself for thinking it was going to be anything different then what it turned out to be like. I got warned by pretty much everyone that it would not be like what I had hoped. As usual, I thought I knew better and went about like an idiot- even managed to get mad when things turned out as I had been warned it would. That'll teach me. >.<

Thank you for the comments and for reading this and having patience with me. I have no idea when I will be able to get my net back on (it will be at least another three to four weeks because of the way I get paid and because, as bills go, my net is pretty low on the importance scale); right now I am downstairs on Strawberry's computer- he was kind enough to make me get on and at least do this much because he knows how livid I have been about my letting it get turned off. I guess I am on another real-life-induced break from Gaia. I am sorry, guys; believe me when I say that had I known, I would have just paid the damn bill and saved my friends, myself, and you guys the damn trouble.

My internet connection will be restored on Friday, September 10. That is when I next get paid; I believe I close that night at work so that means that I could be online again as early as midnight or so, depending on when I get out of work and what I do after. I know I need to get some supplies for the good news that I was given- I think my boss knew that I needed something to pip me up so she waited until recently to confirm something that gave me loads and loads and loads of happy:

I will get a vacation soon; I am not saying the exact dates because for the moment it is not completely confirmed and I don't want anyone to think that that means that I am going to spend it focusing on any one particular thing or person. But I will be getting a week- and soon- and it can not come soon enough.

I am once more on Strawberry's computer (he says it makes him feel better if I log on every now and again, though getting on just makes me feel dumber for the entire mess gonk ) and do not intend on getting on again until the 10th. These next few days I am going to focus on getting my apartment cleaned up and out and enjoying having it, because here lately it has not felt like mine.

Take care, you guys; despite my cranky tone, I am actually feeling much better then when I originally made this entry- I have made some important decisions and made some choices about what I will be doing with my time and energy from now on and while I know that they will not be completely popular with everyone in my life, I feel better just thinking about the changes I am making.

Thanks for reading and for having patience with me. heart
