Chincoteague and Assateague Islands are the fantasy vacation lands of my childhood. I have wanted to go there ever since I was a little girl (for the obvious reason that any girl who loves horses and books will know ♥) - and now, of all things unexpected, I live less than an hour away.

I don't understand Twitter at all. I don't understand

We went camping on Assateague Island when I was a little kid. It was beautiful. There were wild blueberries.

Oh, and Pidgin works pretty well for me.

but i can type in chinese in msn :((((( and use adorable little emoticons!

i use trillian pro so i've got all (gchat, aim, jabber, yahoo) in one. (I HATE YAHOO. I KNOW YOU PREFER IT, BUT YAHOO. HATE.)

I just let Pidgin log me into everything (I think five or six different programs including AIM. Mostly because I've had that aim name since the 90s).

As for Twitter, I think of it as a slow chat room, where you can answer someone's comment days later and through the wonder of the @reply they can still figure out what you are talking about. Plus, I'd miss watching Rachel and Keith without the twitter fangirl commentary.

tumblr = blogging without drama. it's just a way of sharing things that you thought were cool. snippets of conversations, images, links, videos, whatever. it's just a way to share a lot without saying a lot.

Oh my god, I remember those books. :D Every last single one of them. And then there were the Black Stallion books and the Island Stallion books and Black Beauty and...I'm not sure if the James Herriot books count, but there were some horses in them. And I suspect the entire appeal of the Pern series had for me at a slightly later age was basically the same. >.>

And there was Steinbeck's Red Pony, but that really wasn't the same at all and that just traumatized me for life.
