Week 9 (thing 21)

Oh this has so made my day!!!  I spend many a happy hour standing in Waterstones or browsing Amazon and now I find a site that makes the best of both worlds.  This is DEFINITELY one site I will be keeping a (very) regular eye on.  Anyone who knows me well knows that I am an utter bookworm and that the world stops when I open a good book.  I’ve begun my library http://www.librarything.com/catalog/RuthMP – watch it grow as it surely will!  The discussions were interesting but I’m not sure how interested I will be in adding anything.  Saying that though, if someone hates a book that I’ve loved I’m sure I’ll put my two pennies in.

Off to play further now to see if they’ve got any childrens books on there.  My 4 year old already has his own personal library at home and is rivalling my love of books!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for thing 21!!!!!!

Week 9 (things 19 & 20)

What fun – generating images.  Have managed to create a smiley with a sign and hope that he’ll appear on my blog when I publish it.  If not, will have another go hopefully without the air turning blue.  Just in case it doesn’t work here’s a link to an image created in image chef (<a href=”http://www.imagechef.com/ic/make.jsp?tid=Beach” target=”_blank”> <img src=”http://cdn-img1.imagechef.com/w/090127/sampa18357da6a192376.jpg” alt=”Beach custom comment codes for MySpace, Hi5, Friendster and more – ImageChef.com”/> </a>).  Love this site!!  Even feel quite pleased with myself as I’ve added this to my facebook profile.  Oh the techno-world is my oyster!

Have done a little list in Google docs and emailed to a friend.  Watch this space to find out if they reply…..

Things 17 & 18 (week 8)

New Years resolutions not started so well as am behind again.  Oh well, better to catch up than not to do anything I guess (hope!)

Ok – Facebook.  I did actually sign up for this just before Christmas after being hassled for a very long time by friends to get myself on there.  Have since become quite addicted (knew I would which is kindof why didn’t sign up before) but it’s a nice addicted.  Seem to now know my friends innermost thoughts (not always a good thing) but it’s very amusing and at least keeps everyone up to date with photos etc.  My friends list seems to keep growing so am not feeling too lonely!  At the moment I’m just using if for fun but know of some people who join multiple groups and seem to have quite serious discussions and end up signing petitions etc from it.  Not sure I’ll ever get that involved.

Twitter.  Signed up and couldn’t find anyone I knew.  Asked a friend to join (who did) so we’ve been practising and I’ve also been following the exploits of Mr J Ross but other than that not too sure I’m a friend of this.  I prefer the appearance of Facebook.  Maybe it’ll grow on me when (if) more people I know join.  I’ll keep at it to see what happens.
