YAYYYYY WRITING SEMINAR! not.

Okay, here's how it goes. I have to write a 3-line blog per day, from Sun-Thurs. How Fun!??!?! XD

Well, to bore you guys, I'll be double posting :D One here, One there :D Feel free to read if you want XD

"Writing"
Hi all! I do not have much experience in writing blog posts, but I'm happy to have this opportunity to try it out! In ninth grade, I started co-writing fantasy/fiction. Mostly focusing on imaginative and creative writing, my friends and I were able to create worlds of life with just the use of words. I find this truly fascinating. Over the years, I have been on some websites, trying out text-based role playing. Depending on the subject/topic and the participants, sometimes a very entertaining story unfolds. I believe writing is a way to express feelings from author to audience. To be able to convey one's feelings on paper with just ink is remarkable -- people on the other side of the world can pick up a piece of your writing, read it, and feel what you feel. Although it is impossible for readers to all feel exactly what the author intended, it is possible for the author to bring emotion to his/her readers. I find this fascinating.

"Facebook"
Facebook seems to be following Google's trend in becoming a word in a dictionary. People all over the world are now saying "Facebook me" this or "Facebook me" that. Although Facebook is quite an easy way to bring together friends and contacts, I don't see why people spend countless hours at a time on it. Personally, I just check once or twice a day, more if there's something important that I was discussing. It has become more of a daily "check my email" routine, in which I sometimes don't go on at all. I question the value/use of some of the components of facebook. Facebook home seems to broadcast every single friend's status/change in relationship/etc. Who actually has the time to go through all of them (especially people with hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of friends)? To me, Facebook is just another tool to connect with others, not something I would spend countless hours a day on. I understand people have different interests, but Facebook seems to negatively affect some people, taking over their lives.
Anyway, thanks to anyone who reads through this whole rant, I chose this topic because a friend of mine spends a minimum of 6 hours a day on Facebook :P. Happy commenting!

"Snow"
I've been surrounded by snow a lot -- big hills of cold, white, fluffiness just in my backyard. However, as a child, I've only experienced the joys of sledding down a white hill after waking up early in the morning and screaming "SNOW!" at the top of my lungs. Only recently have I discovered that I could ice skate without falling over on a pond across from my friend's house. Exciting thing, to be on ice for the first time, and nearly dying from the rivets and bumps all over!
Though I've had fun with ice and snow, what I really want to try is snowboarding and skiing! I don't know why, but the thrill of cutting through the wind at high speeds down a steep hill is very enticing to me. I plan to try it out sometime in the near future ^^.
