The beginnings...

Blogs. Technologies version of a diary. Except your brother or sister can't find it stuffed under you bed in your favourite box. The whole world can. Except its no longer in a box. It's in a computer. Fingers crossed your family is too computer illiterate to find your secret hiding spot.

Isn't it funny how we'd rather tell the whole world about our problems, but are too lazy to walk down the hall way and talk to our family. Or how it is easier to tell you mother on facebook that your feeling sad, but its too hard to run into her arms crying. Is technology the devil, or is it a blessing? I ask myself this everyday. Despite my opinion, it is here to stay and I am condemned to use it everyday of my university life and perhaps beyond. Unless I pack up and move to a remote community where they still wash their clothing in barrels and eggs were collected fresh from chickens butts and not the store. I was laughing the other night at my mum, who still remembers when the milk was delivered on a horse and cart. A horse and cart! My friend and I were laughing at what we're going to tell our kids. "Back in our day, we had to get in our car, which had 4 wheels, can you believe that, 4 wheels. And DRIVE to the supermarket. It didn't just appear in our fridge like it does now". (Even though I probably thought it just appeared in my fridge when I was younger....ahhh the joys of being a kid). I have no idea what I will be telling my kids. But if my mothers story is anything to go off, then I am expecting milk to have its own set of wings and fly to our house. ...or something like that.

Anyway, so i've started this blog in an attempt to become more creative. Considering I live on my computer, I might actually use it. I've attempted to write diaries before. They are quite amusing to read now, however I wonder who else has found them. The dramas of a 14 year old emotional hormone raged teenager who knew everything but nothing was my fault. I was a pretty good kid I must say. Confusing at times. So were we all. I still know everything.

So between life, boyfriends, university, jobs, cadets...this blog should prove to be an interesting read....I hope.
