I was never intending to do a follow-up artikel on fanpop-addiction. I just took it for granted that I had grown happily addicted and I would remain that way. I basked in the warm, happy glow that only recognition for fanpop-contribution can give you, and looked meneruskan, ke depan to the fanpopping years ahead.

But then disaster struck. And I'm not talking about the massive floods that have hit England... (I was fine with the cellar being filled with water...)No, my internet broke and left me without fanpop.

So now, my detik list. The daftar of what happens when a fanpop-addict is forced to quit.

1. When someone anda live with says this to you: "The internet broke last night" - all anda can manage is incoherent, hysterical babble that sounds like this: "the-internet-fanpop-lost-spot-my-fans-that-article-the-picks-I-need-to-scrubs-video-
new-spot-smallville-props-rate-things-broken? How?

2. anda get up three hours earlier than anda usually do, and stand around in the freezing cold waiting for a bus to take anda to the library. anda get about ten menit on fanpop, but then you're kicked off the computer for someone else. anda give this person an extremely evil glare. He can't possibly need it as much as you. The freezing bus-stop awaits again.

3. anda write letters of complaint to British telecom, your broadband provider and your local member of the government for the useless attempts at fixing your internet you've recieved. It's a government matter now, they should know not to mess with a fanpop addict who's having withdrawal symptoms.

4. When your third perpustakaan visit was AGAIN cut short, anda visit your friend's house and casually sugest "Okay, how about instead of going out to the tampil we've had tickets for since January, we just stay at halaman awal and go on the internet!?" Your friend sees through it completely.

5. anda begin to think your life is being filmed (Like in the Truman show), and it's some sick, twisted joke that this happened. e.g. a postal strike that delays the spare part being delivered.

6. anda intensify your old fanpop-addict symptoms. anda secretly want someone anda know to "give anda props" for something. Similarly, anda also revert to taking vote on things. Except now, it's constantly things like: "Who vote we should just get a whole new internet provider?", atau "Who vote we write to the prime minister?"

7. anda take to menulis down what you're going to do on fanpop as soon as anda get back. anda write this on a spare calendar, on which anda are also crossing off the days until the delivery of the part for your computer.

8. When anda wake up finding a note from a family member that says the internet is mended early, anda actually get all emotional and jump and hop about until anda stub your toe and it really hurts.

Oh yes, I tried to just be content with my coffee-addiction... but it wasn't enough. The pain in my toe was proof of how happy I was when I had my fanpop back.

I hope none of anda can relate to this as anda did to my other article, because although I am slightly exaggerating my plight and joking a bit, I sincerely don't wish it on anyone :)

Aaaahhh... I'm back on fanpop, and all is right with the world.

Peace.
