media overload....
Click to view[hilarious]
I'm having a very "overwhelming" day when it comes to media. I'm following over 100 different people and news organizations...last night kind of pushed me over the edge because someone tweeted a list of different public radio folks on twitter...so I started following just about all of them.

I want their lives....! (wow, that's not creepy or anything, is it?)
But seriously. I started this whole mess at age 10 - creating cute little fun websites with my own graphics and fonts and tables and little girl things...
And now, here I sit...a 21-year-old person trying desperately to keep up and mark my territory in the new-media world.
Part of me just wants to go back & hide in the halls of acadamia and study literature - reading actual BOOKS!!! But then I start to think, "...how can academia use new media like blogging and twitter and...OMG - why don't more people tweet about great literature and books. Why can't these people make the switch over to the new-media world. What is WRONG with them?"
