Am I becoming a luddite?
There was a time when I felt like the internet was essential to survival. I would hesitate to leave the computer lab in Rome second semester in case I might miss . . .something. I'm not sure what. But something. And senior year when my network adapter stopped working, and I did not have internet for something terrible like 4 days it was absolutely the end of the world. and I sure did bike over to Crown Center for no real reason. In Switzerland it made sense. and thesummer before I left . . .well, the same sort of strange things were going on that had been going on for the last two years. And even at the beginning of this newest Chicago year with my old nanny job, man, did I need it.
And now I feel like I dont even know how to use normal internet things. Facebook has all of these notes and pictures and I dont use them. I dont relaly know how to use MySpace. I never post in here. Like last week was the first time I had ever been to YouTube, and beyond Val's blog and this, I dont read anybody else's postings on a regular basis. I cant even keep up with email anymore. This does not seem right. Not at all.
Winter is coming. Netflix wont deliver my movies any more. Katie is coming tomorrow. I am going to Texas this weekend for my cousin's wedding. Blah.
