Lazy

Been meaning to post, there has been a lot going on (started new temp job, celebrated one year anniversary, took a trip home to Alabama, loads of weddings coming up, BH really involved with Red Cross, lots of thinking from other blogs), but have been lazy and unmotivated lately. Sigh...

To follow up from my last blog, I never continued my thread of thought about friends. I have been reading blogs for several years, one blog even before there was the term blog (hi, HG!). It gives me a false sense of "knowing" someone, of feeling like there is a link when they don't know me from Adam.

I have made several blogging friends (they know who I am, we have e-mailed and chatted on the phone and there isn't the cyper-stalking creepiness going on), but it still is all very un-real. They are all more open in their lives than I am, more able to chat about this-and-that in a more story-telling way than I have, and they make all the little things in their lives seem fun! exciting! new!

By having blogging friends, it gives me the sense of chatting with a friend by reading their blogs. I know, weird. And some of my blogging friends and I are friends on FaceBook as well, so there are more ways of staying connected through the web.

Has the web taken over friendships? Is it too easy to be involved without having even chatted with someone (live) in a while? Where are the friends to go out to eat with, go to the movies with, go shopping, get a manicure, hiking, walking, actually DOING things?

Well, I need to get over my laziness - and over myself with the serious stuff!
