Being old fashioned

I really hadn't realised how long it is since I've put anything on here. I think I'd sort of forgotten about it. Still - I've found it again now so we'll see whether this post is a one off or the start of me posting here again.

Facebook - hmmm. I've recently gone back to it and I'm still really not convinced. To be fair the reason for going back is because of the Cornish Womble - to see if we can use it to drum up some more business. We'll give it a go and see what happens - but I remain sceptical. I still really don't like the intrusive nature of it. The sense of 'being on show'. And does anyone else get that twinge of guilt when someone sends a friend request and you refuse it because actually if it wasn't for facebook you would have nothing to do with them?

Twitter - now what the heck is that all about? I signed up to try it out, and to be honest 5 'tweets' later (who came up with THAT name for them - I think of sylvester & tweetie pie every time I go on there) I still don't really have a clue 1. how it works, or 2. what the point is. I think i'm going to give up on that one as popular technology defeating me. Not that I really care.

I actually 'wrote someone a letter' the other day. As in - pen and paper (none of this typed stuff either). While obviously it took a lot longer than typing an email would have been, it was strangely therapeutic. There's something nice in writing by hand - it slows the brain down to really think about what you're writing. The fact that there's no 'delete' button means if you get it wrong - it's obvious and visible (well - unless you tear up the paper and start again!), so in turn you take more care over what you're writing. Everything's in such a rush these days - it was nice to do something the 'old fashioned' way.

I think I'm feeling my age. That 4 number is creeping up on me. Having '7' on the end of my age is closer to the mid point of the decade. However with the '8' approaching fast I've definitely turned the corner to be closer to the end of the decade. That means I'm in my 'late' 30's rather than 'mid'. It's kind of depressing.

Enough waffle for one day. I will probably be back.
