Computers? The End or Beginning?

Well thanks for all you guys who have responded, that was super fast!! I definately doubt I'll write as much as a certain wonderful guy I know...But I'll try not to leave it for too long! So...how often do you think people should update a blog? Once a week? A couple of times a week? Every day?? Couple of times a day? I mean, I'm all for this thing, but when does it become too much of someone's everyday life? There's no possible way of getting away from computers these days, and I'm sure none of us would want to...but when is it too much? Do we really let it rule our lives?? ..Just something to think about!
Oh, and on that topic! What's this MSN thing? Is it easier for you to talk to someone over the internet than to acctually talk to them face to face? Or are you like me and like to talk to someone in person? I think even phones are a little better...then at least you can hear the person's tone of voice.... Take sarcasm for example. I'm sure you've all had some sort of misunderstanding because of sarcasm on MSN, or some other instant messaging service. I'm not gonna come right out and say that our society is doomed because we can't even talk to poeple face to face anymore...but again, just something to think about. Next time you have something to say to someone, are you gonna take the easy way out and send and e-mail or instant message...or txt message...or are you gonna take the time to talk to the person, give them a call and meet up?
PS: All our vocabularies could use some enhancment...so from now on, with every post there will be a new word to add!
TODAY'S WORD: convivial [kuhn-viv-ee-uhl]
What does it mean?
1.friendly; agreeable: a convivial atmosphere.
2.fond of feasting, drinking, and merry company; jovial.
3.of or befitting a feast; festive.

Have No Fear!!

Okay, so I think I was probably one of only a few people who didn’t have a blog, so I decided I’d start one. So let’s see how I do on this. I was thinking just how boring this might be for you to read, but well, you can stop reading at any time, so it doesn’t really matter, right? It’s not like I’m telling you that you have to sit there and read my blog.

So I guess it's only fair to explain what "Yellow Streak of Aversion" means, and why I chose it. Well...yellow is my favorite colour, and "Yellow Streak" is a term used for being...scared, or cowardice, and "Aversion" means to strongly dislike. Now, that's something I've always really struggled with, being scared of people not liking me. And well...I figured it just kind of went well together...and besides, everyone else has some super-amazing names for their blogs!

I'm just trying to figure this whole thing out. It's really not that hard, so I'll be back soon! And by the way, I have a feeling I'm gonna really love your comments! ...So leave them!
