- I'm not Michelle, but I've something to say...
-
- Well... last time I checked I spend less time in front of a CRT that the
- average american...
-
- Of course the average american is watching TV. Prepackaged entertainment that
- requires little, or no, thought on the part of the viewer.
-
- While I am using a computer, for many reasons. Ignoring legitimate school work
- and FTP site management, I send and receive a large quanity of email every
- day. I have ongoing correspondance with many people. Sometimes I write; poems,
- prose, or plays. I read several newsgroups, most of them related to something
- I'm involved with off the nets (I read several aero groups - I'm a pilot and I
- was an Aero major 'til I switched to writing) and I post on nearly every group
- that I read.
-
- This is communication, something I value. I also write snailmail letters, make
- phone calls, hang with my friends, whatever...
-
- I've just made the decision to devote time others use watching TV for something
- more interactive that requires more thought. And I still have plenty of time to
- do things with my friends in the 'real world'... At the moment I'm in a very
- convoluted relationship with a woman on the opposite coast, so dating is sorta
- hard to do...
-
- > Just passing on a few comments... Usually, if I want to pick
- >someone up, I do not prostitute myself to the world, but rather be kind
- >of selective...
-
- I've made many a friend after receiving mail on my writings... In fact that's
- how I met my current SO... So I tend to feel the nets are worthwhile.
-
- This is the information age, and I intend to stay with the times.
