George Bailey wanted to travel the world. Sassy Tortuga wanted to move across the country. Neither accomplished said goals. But while one was stymied by family tragedy, the other was wooed by a certain nnearby and highly reputable law school offering freedom from shoddy part-time employment and student loans. Said school also offers exchange programs to trendy overseas locations so as to satisfy Sassy Tortuga's wanderlust. And she'll be around to see a certain two little girls start school.
The future looks very different now than it did just a few short months ago. This is me not complaining! I plan to use this freedom to mount an opposition to Facebook. I have yet to join Facebook. I am a Luddite and became highly distressed when Blogger forced me to switch over to Google just now. I might start etching my blog onto scraps of birchbark and tacking it up on a building somewhere rather than posting online. The geeks in my life would go into convulsions. But they'd get lots of exercise.

I refused to switch to the new Blogger but it isn't all that bad. I will, however, never create a MySpace account.
I'm with you on the Facebook thing. I refuse to join. It's creepy. People keep harassing me to join but I'm staying strong. Nicole Rose once phoned me from Ottawa to tell me I had to join. Why? WHY?!
Let's start an Eternally-united Front against Facebook (EFF)! We can have a logo and a secret handshake and everything.
And Orhan, I'm with you on the MySpace thing too!
Although I've been sucked into the Facebook phenomenon, I refuse to have a Myspace...it's creepy. In other news...I have a man!!! hehehehehhehe
You all must see this. Let it load and watch. Scary stuff about Facebook.
Damn, you really know how to write! I could learn a thing or two from you, Sassy
Ahh!
Birchbark postings!?
I am going into convulsions...
Eeep! Muscles heretofore unknown being used... The pain, the pain, the beautiful pain!!!
-Seriously, I am still in awe over your achievement. And just to be on the naturenut side, I got my sister an ecological calendar. She adores it. I really hope you keep on with the online posting, though. My nerdish glasses do give me slightly above-average vision, but I cannot see all the way across the country with them. Besides, as you know I get a kick out of typing in the word verification thingy each time I leave a comment. Today's random bunch of syllables are 'mbfxljh'.
