A Return to Greatness
Well, I sort of fell off the wagon for a couple days there, but I think I am back with a vengeance now and I'm going to try and catch up on everything I missed. I love how after spring break everything intensifies, whether it be the temperature, the workload, or raging adolescent hormones. All are sure signs of spring. Personally I've wanted to spend less time in the same room as my computer. Last night I actually LOGGED OFF AIM and turned off my cell phone! (it sounds impossible, I know, but it happened) and in those . . . 5 minutes . . . I realized something! Holy cow what if someone needs me! I mean, they would have NO WAY of contacting me. I liked this idea. I felt so powerful. I even fantasized about someone actually showing up at my room to talk to me face to face, however; I knew this would not happen. This lack of connectedness was literally causing me physical pain. I started pacing around the room thinking "be strong Liz, be strong! you don't need AIM, you don't need your phone on. You need to sit down and do work!" But alas, after the four minute mark my phone was back on. I managed to hold off on aim until I finished a one page homework assignment, but I could not bare to think all I had missed in that time. I am a poor, poor slave to technology. I wonder if there are counselors for this sort of thing?

Video Ideas
STUPID LAPTOPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!! Just deleted Everything I wrote!!!!!! SO I guess I will start over again, but I don't have the patience to write it all out.
So here is my completely illegal idea for the video:
I want to stalk someone. Yes literally stalk a human using facebook. I want to friend someone on campus, use all the information they provide on their page such as screen name and status or anything else I can use. Then I will keep track of their away messages and try to figure out where they are on campus. Then we will go there with the camera and follow them around and then confront and interview them about the dangers of putting too much info on the Internet. It is too bad there are already cops who are hired to do stuff like this, and I'm sure it's illegal. But! What if you asked someone to volunteer for a "class project about the Internet" and we tell them we will follow them on campus with the camera. I wish there was some way we could do this because I don't think many people realize how dangerous it is to tell people what you are doing every second of every day.
