What happens when you step away from a computer for 2 days?

Over the past two days (Friday and Saturday) I haven’t been on my computers very much,. On Friday it was my 6th form Valedictory (which I scrubbed up for, put a suit on and gelled up my hair) and yesterday I was out for a friends birthday however I get back today and find that the internet – it’s missed me.
Google Reader has over 600 unread articles waiting for me (I’m sure other people have more however) and Facebook seems to have missed me even more having sent me loads of emails to inform me of new goings on.
Do you think I perhaps have a little too much of my life on the internet? – I don’t, I think its great that I’m able to be spoon-fed so much information and keep up to date with stuff other people are doing on Facebook, isn’t technology wonderful!
One day I might actually use my phone to get onto both those services and they won’t miss me as much as they have done over the last few days.
Do you find that if you step out of the internet bubble for a little while, it misses you so much?

It was my graduation day yesterday but I didn’t go. I went to my daughter’s last sports day at primary instead. She moves up to high school in September.
As for being away from the internet, I went to the Isle of Man last year and was assured there was wireless access. It was down the whole four days! Should have seen the emails, my tribal wars village was neglected, my google reader was overflowing…
I’ve got a 3 dongle now so I’m never disconnected again, well, unless I want to be lol
Question: does this make me a sad person?
