So...my friend Amy has motivated, nay...inspired me to start this "blog" thing. Probably because I'm old as dirt...I don't know too much about this new-fangled "blogging". Truth be told, I'm a tad bit slow in the technology arena in general. I just started "texting" as the kids are calling it these days and well...I suck at it. It takes me like 2 hours to send a message, not to mention the fact that I run into something about every 2 feet while walking (this may explain why it takes so long). Then there's IM. Not that I have too many people IMing me, but I swear that if I ever have to IM more than... say 2 people at one time, well...I'm certain something indescribable will happen. Also, I feel like I haven't quite grasped how to translate some of the lingo. For example...hahaha --I guess this means what I said was amusing, and maybe it's just the way I'm reading it, but it sure seems like mockery to me. lol--that's another one. I used to really like this one, because who doesn't love to know someone was laughing "out loud" at their joke? But then one day, I was IMing someone in the same room (I'll get to that next) and they wrote "lol"...only they didn't really laugh out loud. And maybe I just couldn't hear it, but I mean, c'mon...when one of the words is "loud", I'd better be able to hear it! Yea, so...IMing in the same room as someone...is so bizzarre to me. I'm getting used to it. We do it at work. And I guess I can undertsand it there. I guess yelling across the room at my co-worker isn't exactly condusive to a peaceful work environment. But, I had this one person who I worked with who seriously sat like 3 feet away from me, and she would IM me. It was so weird! And they would be messages like, "so, how was your weekend?". I mean, seriously? Are you kidding me?" I'm right here. Then it got to where I would IM her and then turn around to see if the little orange lite was still lit up or if she was actually responding to me. Most of the time I would just read her response on her computer screen as she was writing it.
Anyway...all that to say I don't know how I feel about this whole "blogging" thing. I don't know if I'm ready. I do promise to never write as ridiculously much as I just did.
