Yep , I am.
Just..not much to say.
We got snow.
I had to work this Saturday so my weekend, wasnt' very refreshing.
Met my neighbor...well, on the phone. Found out she has Facebook and Live Journal.
What's REALLY weird?
I now look at what I write and realize...someone reads it RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME!
For five years, no one I personally know close to home...family or friends... ever uses their computer for social networking.
I mention Facebook and they say WHAT? I mention MySpace and they look at me like I should grow up.
I mention chatting to authors online and they are like... Why don't you LIVE your life?
Excuse me?
Like I'm ever going to meet famous authors? This is BETTER than when I was a kid and I'd write to Donny Osmand and never ever got a response back.
This is better than hearing about someone famous and wishing I could get just an autograph.
Through this here blogging and social connection in cyberspace, I've gotten autographed books from authors! I've MET one. I"ve TALKED to one. All because I AM on the computer!!!
I even get to play word games with my all time favorite erotica author who got me hooked on the romantica genre! I mean, come on! Trading word knowledge with a Literary Diva?
WHERE else can that happen? Tell me.
I love the world wide web. I believe it enhances me..so what if I talk about people I'll never meet. That doesn't mean they don't touch my life or enrich it..they do!
So....How did I even get on this soap box anyway?
Gah
OK...yes I am here. No I haven't read any books lately. Darn.
But my neighbor is now a pillow's throw away.
On Facebook.
**grin**
Observations and comments on subjects near and dear to me. Some funny, some serious, but to share them with you is an honor.

You're right, I've met so many authors and friends sitting on my computer and I truly enjoy when I get to meet them in person.
Not only have I "met" fabulous authors online, but wonderful friends as well. *G*
The internet is a vast and fantastic world for those who are unable (or unwilling. Hi, yeah, shy person here.) to get out and LIVE it. *G*
Ain't the internet grand?? :o)
Smooches, M!
