Egads, has it really been 13 days since my last post? I have to admit, I’m suffering from serious, internet overload. I joined Facebook a while back to keep contact with my family, but I didn’t realize how easily people from high school and college could find me. My bad–I’m overwhelmed with Friend Requests from people I barely knew in college and high school, didn’t like, really, and have nothing in common with, now. I hate to sound like a curmudgeon, but I worked so hard these past 10 years to cultivate real, sincere relationships. Receiving all these emails…yikes! Who ARE YOU??? God bless bogus email accounts and being smarter the 2nd time around, finding all the privacy settings. Of COURSE private isn’t the default, duh.
Other internet things on the horizon:My renewal for Enthusiastically Human is up in October, and I have to admit to seriously considering NOT renewing. But I know I’ll regret it later…I’m “one of those” domain-harvesters with a short attention-span. I think it has to do with the cringe-factor of rereading one’s body of work and wanting to start over again. I used to do that as a kid with journals.
I will try sticking out another year. I have to admit, I am feeling more creative without the 30 minute daily commute into work. I don’t know how people do that–it is one of those amazing feats, to me.



I’ve had problems with Linked In too (its about work contacts). The fact that you (not YOU Jenn, but in the sense of “you, the one who wants me as a connection”) work for the same institution I do is not reeeeally enough for me to call you a connection. And I’m quite sure we didn’t meet at a staff meeting since I live in a different STATE!
And I’m scared of Facebook. And MySpace. I used a fake name. *blush*
