Well, our blog is as blank as a deceased artist's canvas. Yes, yes, this much I realize. And for this much I apologize.Please don't feel bad that we aren't writing. Of course we don't have internet yet, though the time is drawing near when that will happen!
But more than that, I've started to develop a beef with the internet. A serious beef. Mainly because I feel like miscommunications have caused me to be a jerk-head to people through the internet. Why? Because of the lack of reality in online action. You don't see it happening - it is you and yourself alone. You send something out into the void of "online" and you don't have anyone to help temper yourself because there are no immediate repercussions.
Another place where we are divided. Another place where individualism is running wild like a sheep in Montana. I am sad at how I have accidentally been unkind to a couple of people online - and I am realizing the personal implications of technology keeping us from each other - and how when we are allowed to go our own way- nothing gets better.
Well, so call me internet gun-shy. And also call me unemployed still. All of my great job plans have...how shall I say...failed. So when I become brave, have internet access, and am not spending my online time looking for jobs...then again...I shall return...

MomW said... Well, Lizzie, it's hard to imagine that your gentle words would cause offense, although I went through a bout of the same thing recently - -foot in keyboard syndrome. Think of the immortal words of John Mayer: "I'm never speaking up again, it only hurts me . . ." but then he goes on with ". . .one more thing, why is it my fault?" Sadly both intention and perception can be missed in internet communications. Don't apologize and don't beat yourself up! As for employment, I'm confident that things are headed in the right direction!
