It's Just One Big Digression

What in the world did we do before we had the internet? I remember when I was in grade 10 and the internet was just in its "coming out" stages....it seemed so bazaar -- now, its hard to imagine life without it. Less people take the time to write letters (me included) and we rely on email, e-cards, MSN messenger and webcams to stay in touch. Kind of sad when you really stop to think about it. I love how you can send an email and its at your friend's computer or inbox in a matter of seconds -- but gone are the days when you could tell something about a person because of their handwriting...and it's difficult to judge a person's typing skills because you don't even see them in the act of preparing your message (usually) Although it happens throughout the year, I find that this time of year especially I receive an abnormal amount of Christmas greetings, cartoon, and jokes in my inbox. I'm not complaining...but I always feel like this time of the year pushes me to get in touch with friends with whom I haven't chatted for too long....anyways, enjoy all that goes with this time of year -- as you're reading my mass note...if only I had time to handwrite you each a note individually!

Happy Holidays!
