Blogging

I find this means of informal yet anonymous communication fascinating. It is such a short time since the internet materialised into being and here we are potentially communicating to a global community who might just happen to log in to this site. Interactive media at its best?

Note my writing retains a relative formality. I am still governed by the social constructs, in spite of the lack of known audience. I have relayed this site address to only a very few people and fail to see how this medium actually becomes more than a sort of potentially public email. When I first learned how to fast text on my mobile, I sent ridiculous texts to friends and relatives. Gradually I learned that I was being boring and wasting time and money, but at the time, I felt a great joy at being able to so easily communicate with the people I loved. Needless to say, they humoured me if they replied. Is this just another of those mediums? And why do I seem to want to communicate with those afore mentioned and not they?

long weekend

I love long weekends. 3 days to relax and catch up and a short work week. Have been seriously sidetracked from life yet again by reading, this time Linda La PLante's "The red dahlia". Whose read it? I'm about half way, but have to stop and do reading for uni.

Am doing one social work psychology unit - Human behaviour, and Media in its social context, a journalism unit. Yes, I am slowly achieving a BA in my spare time, and I am always wondering why. Will I ever change my job? I doubt it. When it comes down to it, we work for money, and we do that with what we know to do best. I shall be a physio forever. There's no money in writing....
