Blog agenda: wah, tab, stamp, length

Okay a few things on the blogging agenda today

1. I got my very first compliment today! and no, not like in my entire life. that would be sad. like, "my parents locked me in a room and i was once a feral child, i have since recovered and today someone told me they liked my shoes". not like that. though that would be an interesting story. I think Oprah did an episode on feral children, very interesting. okay back to my original point- someone, other than the people who i have been asking or reminding to read my blog, told me how much they liked it and how they thought I was a good writer. and of course inside my brain I'm think "They like me! they really like me!" while wearing some sparkly gold Oscars dress and brushing back a tear. On the outside, I'm more contained with more self control sporting the sophisticated "WAH!!!!! EEEEEP!!! THIS IS SO COOL!" and of course. It's only one person, but still. for a blog that I thought was getting no readers, it feels like a big accomplishment. So thank you!

2.I have become tab-addicted. I'm the person who will always have at least 12 tabs open at a time. and then I yell at the computer for being slow and dumb, when it's my own fault for overloading it with unnecessarily open tabs. But this addiction to the amount of tabs has to do with three things a) my lack of knowledge about bookmarks until recently b) my recently gained knowledge of the hibernate feature of my laptop c)I can be kind of a hoarder sometimes. I can become very attached to my tabs. and because of this, i never turn off my computer. almost never. i'll put it on hibernate which is like a computer nap, but it'll save everything as it is until I need to use it again. of course, this is not very good for the computer. Like, if my computer was a person- like a Script in the olden days and I would talk and they would furiously scribble down what i was saying. if my computer was a script, then i would be a slave driver, as simple as that. I am so cruel to this computer that is so good to me in every way possible. except the mouse is dumb and sometimes won't let me click things, or that it's kinda bulky and heavy and will be annoying in college when i'm lugging it around, that's it's too fancy for stickers, but ugly enough to need something so now is in this awkward ugly semi-naked stage- like some mid-twenties nudity phase. or 2 year old nudity phase. your choice. the later is more adorable, and acceptable in modern society. needless to say, i won't come to a solution when it comes this tabs issue, unless i save all the links every night, and even that would be too exhausting for my little peanut brain to handle.

3. I think letter-writing needs to get back into style. It was so classic and timeless. Well, it is timeless. and everyone loves to get mail! It gives you that "I'm special" feeling. Unless It's bills or coupons for places you don't shop or magazines you didn't subscribe to. but mail, real letters from people you know, are the absolute best. knowing that someone took the time to sit down with a pen and paper to write you a letter makes them all the more worth saving as a form of communication and an art form. plus stamps are cute. I have pixar stamps i've been meaning use. anyone want to be my pen pal while i'm in college?

4. I'm getting the feeling that my posts are too long. What can I say? I have a lot of thoughts and ideas and they are just being poured on eco-friendly virtual paper (unless you count the electricity my laptop is using. Darn! >.<  ) but I feel like the sheer length of my posts scare people away from reading them. does the list help? I like writing in lists. would it help if i used less run-on sentences and actually broke things up into paragraphs? I'd love to know. please comment, you few but faithful readers. :)
