Woah. I had a nasty experience this morning. I couldn't get onto the board. Now, I know this may be attributed to my truly piss-poor internet connection, but the board may have been down as well. As it is. Occasionally.
It's funny really, because I think you often don't realise how much you'll miss something until it's gone. I know that checking the board is something I do along with my emails in the morning whilst I'm having my coffee. It's like, a habit. So imagine my distress this morning when part of my regular start to the day was taken away from me. I was bereft!
So what I was thinking was, in light of my very disturbing and traumatising experience this morning, what have you realised you've missed only when you realised how much you were missing it?
Hee.
For me, this morning, it was the board. But I did have the oddest time coming to terms with how much I missed UK television when I was in the US a few weeks ago. And you know, I'm the first person to say what shit we have on telly over here, but dammit, I really did miss the little things. Granada Reports; Coronation Street; god, even Crossroads. Heh. Who knew?
Tell you what else I missed too: proper crisps.
The title of the thread for today came quite easily though; it was what I was shouting as I stomped around the living room trying to work out why I couldn't access the board. Heh heh. But it also reminded me of taking things for granted; not realising how much they mean to you until they're not there anymore. I'm not talking so much about people but more about things. Objects. Toys.
Oh wait...not toys. Not
toys toys anyway...
God, what was I talking about...?
Oh yes. Missing things. So I suppose the other thing is what would Willow and Tara miss? I think that Willow would go truly ballistic if her internet connection was interrupted for a day. Or if someone borrowed her different coloured pens and didn't give them back. Heh.
Anyway; have a good Tuesday everyone. I'm now off to seek counselling for my "Being without the board at any given time" post traumatic stress syndrome...
