TUESDAY Thread: Social Networking

I have not always been a fan of using the internet primarily to
maintaining contact and relationships. I think, however, the world
is turning to that currently, and has been for a while.
At the time it all began, I was always at work or at school.
During breaks, everyone was always on the phone or on the university
computers. No more people hanging out in the cafeterias, work, student or
study lounges. So I have decided to try this phenomenon out.

So far, Facebook is my favorite one. I haven't as of yet tried Twitter.
Networking on Facebook beats having to be a paramedic out on the streets,
or being assaulted by vagrants. So far so good!

I wonder if I will miss the whole cafe culture out there. Not so far!

I made some friends in Italy and the U.K. The groups you join help you form
relations based on common interests. I am also learning how to practice new languages. I know how to say "coffee" in quite a few now.

The Dr. Who followers really rock! They are a fascinating culture, even if I don't run into them locally. I stay up and watch!!!!

So, FB might be a nice place to make friends, although not face to face.

Breakfast: The whole ordeal has been tedious. I always skip it for coffee or
chocolate. I feel better that way. If I have a small one closer toward lunch, I feel
better. I am way too sleepy to eat in the morning. Today, I feel like making
brunch instead.

Reading: The internet must be king of this arena, although I still gravitate toward the magazines a whole lot, like they are my first love.
The free papers are sitting at the side for now, but I want to catch up on
those soon also.

Television: I watched "Castle" last night. I love watching it with friends.
I found a FB page on it, also. I wonder if "The Good Wife" has one also.

Books: Patterson....I think he is secretly writing for "Castle." Maybe?!!!!!!

Blogs: Romance & Travel reign for me right now!!!!!

Commuting: I feel weird not doing it, at all! I was always out there, work,
school, networking!

Staying at home is not my cup of tea, but I am bearing with it.

Bye for now, Dear Tuesday!
