I'll admit, I'd find it hard to live without broadband after a while. The internet (and a little bit of cable) replaces the role of broadcast TV in my life. I can go off-grid for a while, probably doing some fun computer programming on my laptop.
Probably in your situation, I'd be more disciplined, because I'd probably take my laptop to town once a day, do the sending and receiving of larger chunks of data, and then come back home. Which means that my creative efforts would be uninterrupted by shiny new data. Probably somebody would have to put a hand on my shoulder and say "Rusty, it's dark o'clock, aren't you thinking of bed?"
But no, while it would be nice to check in on FA, I'm not paralyzed by the loss. It'll be back. It'll be fun when it's back.
And man, I don't know what I want to do for the holidays. Cookies are in the plan. Shopping, not so much. Maybe a few gifts for the close people in my life. I like to make things for the wider audience of friends. Maybe I'll decorate some this weekend.
Oh yeah, I like the "make love to someone" part. I haven't had a convenient someone on a consistent basis in a decade.
