From today's post on nigelblog.com:

"What on earth did we all do before the internet?

I know I spent far too much time wearing spandex and fishnet stockings in sleazy nightclubs on the west end but I digress."


Yeah, I have a new quote for my journal. =)

LOL!!!
That's funny.

I think my reply would be... I handwrote letters and played boardgames and talked on the phone. :P

I hardly remember life before the internet. I have no idea how I filled my time. I watched a lot more TV. Drank a lot more. After that...

[auzrais.livejournal.com]

Yes, television.
I watched a lot of television.
I was the human TV Guide. I could tell what time it was by what was on TV.
Wow, what a talent, eh? O_o

It's been a while since I've had cable... perhaps that why I started drinking more myself. :P

I used to do that too! Man, that made my mom pissed when I'd say "Well, *insert show here* was on, so it must have been around 7 o'clock."

The re-runs of Star Trek: The Next Generation were shown daily from 6pm - 7pm. Being a HUGE nerd, I had seen every episode of every season so while at a friend's house, I said, "Oh this is the episode where [insert explanation here], and it's half over so it must be 6:30pm."

I think when I pulled something like that in front of my mother, she just rolled her eyes because the only things she really watched on TV back then were Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, The Tonight Show, and football. :P

(Oh, Nigel, we never knew! We thought, but we never KNEW. ;))

Before the internet, I talked on the phone and did typical middle school girl stuff. Then, I got the internet in 8th grade and never looked back. ^_^
