Day 129: February 25

My Internet is slow. It's like a snail making its way down the Great Wall of China. Don't point your finger at me and say, 'well in my day we had dial-up internet'. Well when I lived in South Africa, so did I. Parents don't point at me, shake your head and go, 'when I was your age, things weren't instant, we had to wait for things/pay our dues.' Alright. We pay our dues where they're due and we wait for things. For example, I'm waiting for the next Glee episode to come out and I'm also waiting FOR WINNERS AND LOSERS TO START AGAIN (people who run the show: THAT WOULD BE LOVELY). But seriously, I do wait for stuff. Nothing is instant. We may have 'instant gratification', but really it's not properly instant. It may be fast, which is pretty much instant for us. It's like instant coffee - faster than the normal one, but not as good. (Okay so I didn't really have anything to compare that to, but I like the analogy).
