Man, livejournal is dead. Hahaha, and I'm still posting. What a hypocrite.
Well, anything new in the life of Briana?
- Muir Drum Major still trying to hollah.
- Former PHS "just-an-acqaintance" becomes reeeeally close and is trying to hollah.
- I feel like a pimp, haha.
- Finally re-cut my hair after months of boring-ness
- Ryan the Gangstah (AKA my brother) got a myspace (UGH)
- I'm getting a job collating papers for my Aunt's Aflac office
I hate this bullet-pointing stuff, so I'll stop.
My phoneline at my mom's house is completely dead, so I have no access to the internet at all. There are more pros than cons in this situation, however. I can focus on my homework, have free time to myself, sleep earlier, rest my eyes, and force myself to want to talk to people in person rather than online. The cons are that I cannot do my online assignments from home, I can't talk to multiple people at once, and I can't talk to all my myspace-whore friends or long distance friends.
I think I've developed a dislike for being on the computer longer than 15 minutes. It dries out my eyes now, and I get so bored looking around at things. I've discovered the joys in playing with my dog (which we may give away...) and sleeping earlier. But I've missed so much of what's going on somehow. This feeling of sadness leads me to the conclusion that everyone's become too dependent on the computer. Probably a late realization, but I've just been thinking about it more than before. I think of all the fights on the internet between 2 girls on Xanga.com, or the hook-ups through AIM (i.e. Chris, back in 7th grade), and the DRAMA on LJ or Mspace... it's so strange! I mean, the internet is nice, there's so much you can see on the world wide web. But it destroys most (not all) peoples' ability to communicate with each other. I hated how I couldn't talk to my friend Julian (who was my boyfriend for a while last year) on the phone because we had nothing to talk about. Or in person. We just couldn't talk. I guess that everything died out because trying to find a new thing to talk about for another 2 minutes was hard to do.
Anyway, my point is that I love and hate the internet (when I can use it). It's enabled me to speak to people miles and miles away from me, it's helped build a kind of self-confidence in me to talk to people, it's weakened my ties with family members, it's destroying my eyes (weirdly enough), and it's frustrated me. Who else feels this way about the internet? I don't know.
Um. I shouldn't be on the computer right now... I should be studying for finals. YUCK FINALS.
Happy Studying, ya'll! :)
