I was never intending to do a follow-up articolo 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 inoltrare, avanti 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 secondo list. The lista of what happens when a fanpop-addict is forced to quit.

1. When someone te live with says this to you: "The internet broke last night" - all te 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. te get up three hours earlier than te usually do, and stand around in the freezing cold waiting for a bus to take te to the library. te get about ten minuti on fanpop, but then you're kicked off the computer for someone else. te give this person an extremely evil glare. He can't possibly need it as much as you. The freezing bus-stop awaits again.

3. te 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 biblioteca visit was AGAIN cut short, te visit your friend's house and casually sugest "Okay, how about instead of going out to the mostra we've had tickets for since January, we just stay at home and go on the internet!?" Your friend sees through it completely.

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

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

8. When te wake up finding a note from a family member that says the internet is mended early, te actually get all emotional and jump and hop about until te 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 te can relate to this as te 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.
