Things that make keeping up with the internet unnecessarily complicated.
So, I'm in South England, and as the whole world already knows, IT SNOWED HERE OMG.
Two centimeters. That's not quite an inch. These scary amounts of frozen water made everything stop. Uni, people, everything.
Let's start at the beginning. I got up at 7am, because I had a class scheduled for 9am. The internet worked for exactly long enough to let me find out that nope, uni won't be canceled today. (Monday was snow day. Tuesday had more snow, but it was not a snow day. Idgi either.) Then the internet died, and I trudged into uni, only to find out that, yeah, no, even though it's not a snow day, people decided not to come in anyway.
Alright, whatever. I didn't go back home, because other than the internet at the residences, uni internet is not weather dependent. I hung out at uni till 5pm, spending most of that time writing a completely tl;dr backstory on my Ten pup. Then they kicked me out. Apparently, when it snows, everything has to close at 5pm. So I went back home, and since there was no fog or snow or anything, I was hoping that maybe the internet might be working.
It wasn't. This was pissing me off. I hadn't had proper internet all weekend. Monday night, when my internet was working, my RP partner's internet wasn't. I have about three or four different 'verses that I want to pursue, and I didn't get a warning that I wouldn't have proper internet for the next four or five days, so I couldn't get used to the idea. Now, her internet was working, but mine wasn't. I decided to watch a movie, and the DVD died half-way through.
At that point, I was just completely frustrated, so I went and bought some wine and popcorn, emptied the bottle within less than an hour, and went to bed. (Is this where I admit to having a problem? It was less that I didn't have the internet. It was more that I didn't get a warning. It's easier to deal with no internet when you get a warning.)
Anyway. The internet's back now! Let's see how long it'll stay that way. Meme in the meantime! Stolen from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Name the first 10 fandoms that come into your mind. Your flist is supposed to write which character from those fandoms you're most alike according to them. It's about the character you're most alike, not the one you like the most!

If you don't know the show, you can skip it, obviously. :)
