Oh, A Blog!

Hello!

Here I go. I have tried to write a blog before thinking that maybe it could be my way to communicate or perhaps would be a segway into some kind of online community? Since then however I've realized I'm not that "kind of gal." Some people can really utilize a blog. I have friends who exercise their creative writing skills, network with like-minded individuals, or even do-good with theirs (for example, my friend Kait runs a rad blog where I can learn about the environment).

But I now know I prefer print media and (almost) everything about it.

I enjoy lounging in a chair with a good book, something which is hard to accomplish with a bulky computer. I enjoy turning the pages, and seeing all that you've read or write actually amount to some visible portion growing as your bookmark moves further into the novel. I dig the mobility of novels and the ability to share a magazine and give a friend a physical object to live with versus sending them a url through an impersonal message.

I am a bit of a technophobe (relative of course to those around me. I wouldn't try to give the impression that I don't email or go on facebook more than is necessary).

So then why do I write the blog versus keep a journal or make a project?

Well, one can't argue that it is a fast way to get the message out there. That is not to say I plan to put no effort into this, au contraire mon frere, student life is bogged down with things pulling you every which way and to be afforded the opportunity to do a good job while doing it quickly is rather appealing.

So here we go. My thoughtful ramblings of Narrative in A Digital Age.
