well this is downright scary

honestly I am trying to do all the stuff BUT havent realized I did not blog everytime!! oh my!!

well I loved good read, it has some wonderful ideas for me to read as times go by, just to make me a booklist AH! I am finally back and ready to read once again for pleasure- I seemed to have given it up since 2006, so it is way too long. JOY!
enjoyed searching the library thing, but was vastly disappointed with trying to pull up books off book search. Amazon has lots of books by the authors I was searching, but oddly enough not one single suggestion popped up.. go figure!

I do not like facebook as much as myspace, As far as a social network place, it is much superior as to privacy as to what I share, I dont get all the ridiculous games farmblah add ons and I probably post too much things that I am passionate about so I am considering closing my account. I like to email, and love to instant message, but frankly I am hurt by the things I see on my own daughter's page and of my oldest sister. It seems more gossipy, I dont know.

I love utube, because I have watched college courses from universities I would never be able to afford, gotten algebra homework help, listened to music and laughed my head off at children and singing, but mainly use it for learning, now what does that say about me?

blog seraching new discoveries

well I have been finding some really interesting blogs, looking for prison ones but only found 2- one that is pretty accurate in Texas- grits for texas. I have looked at those on cyndis list, and family trees top 50. however this one is pretty good information to add to this class for genealogists http://genealogy.about.com/od/blogs/a/rss.htm .

hm, what I am learning and the journey of frustration: {

well actually, LOL, I have loved learning all the new methods of journaling, groupings, various methods of interaction via internet, BUT the one thing that I find maddening is that I must have all these insane log ins, and various accounts- and I THOUGHT meebo would eleveate all of that it doesnt actually. I have at least five different log ins with their passwords. I hate that to use some of the cool programs I must have yet another account. SO with that in mind I will probably close a few and loose all that cool stuff. I have a yahoo account for certain groups, I have a gmail account for my blog, a netzero account for daily emails, yahoo again for work, another for flicker and so on. UNLESS I TOTALLY missunderstand meebo's purpose lol.. I love being able to have automatic feed sent directly to my email.

The fascinating thing about the myspace, facebook is talking to folks soooo far away- and while I dont understand all the intricacy of them- it has been fun to see what is going on in the lives of others. Sometimes it feels like spying though and I really dont like that. I would love to instant messanger but back to the multiple logins and so on. I just need to find one that does everything that I like and make it simple.
Tagging and bookmarking is how I live now. I just have such limited time to be online a day, and frankly I see what the BIG issue is about how much time teens and adults are online doing things when LIFE is out there
