moving on...again...

i continually shift to new online methods of communication. i start one because i think it's what everyone else is doing, but then after a few months or years i grow bored of it and move on to the latest and greatest. it started with just a plain old email account--junomail. those were the good old days. i moved on to the world of dsl and along with it to new email accounts--hotmail, yahoo, gmail. whenever one became overwhelmed with junk mail, i would create a new one. then xanga was all the craze it seemed, so i created my very first blog. i posted faithfully at first, but the musings waned until they were months apart. by then, everyone was on myspace, so myspace it was. my excuse was that i couldn't post on people's blogs without having a myspace of my own. after about a year of myspace, i was informed by the students i worked with that myspace was no longer "it". "everyone is on facebook," they told me. at some point in the past, i had created a facebook account that had never caught on. i pulled it off the shelf and dusted off my account. this is where i am now, keeping in touch on facebook. "but i have no good place to blog," i told myself. (i always hated how messy myspace looked and admired my friend's clean--although out of touch i thought--blogger sites). so blogger and facebook it is. i think this will be the greatest arrangement of all...at least for now.
