Online journaling--friend or foe? + PCs:Blegggh!

About a month ago I saw a website where you could do journaling online.  I thought it was kind of cool but I was like "hmm, I wish they would publish a journal once you have written something" because I like to be able to actually hold it.  Well, I saw today just that option!  I don't know where, but I clicked on something and thought it was interesting.  I don't know what you guys prefer with journaling, but I thought I'd share the link.  I haven't been fully converted because I'm not sure if I'd still rather handwrite my journals, but I am looking into it.  Blurb is just bookmaking in general (possibly an alternative to the mac books that our family likes) and pyxlin is just journaling.  Both allow you to publish your work afterwards.  Anyways, I thought I'd share the idea for anyone who cares.  I thought it would be cool to have pictures along with text, you know?  Let me know what you think!

I'm currently trying to remove stuff from mom and dad's computer which is SOOO SLOOOWWW.  I am now even more grateful for the wonder of macs!  I think mom and dad need to save some money for an iMac...this PC is horribly slow and confusing.  Macs are so simple and clean.  I realized how nice it is to be able to click a button and be ready instead of having six windows pop up which I then have to fight off like animals.  Sheeessssh!  Get a mac.

I'm also thinking of showering although I have no clothes to change into.  Okay, that's a lie....I have some clothes that I left here and I have the pants that I wore on the way home.  But I'm still hoping my bags are delivered soon!

Anyways, comment about the journal thing....I want to hear your thoughts!

oh no! they lost your bags. definitely whatever you do DO NOT shower until they come. that is a great idea. another good idea is the online journal. I have a hard time handwriting because it it so slowwww. I like the ideas, em.

Ive mentioned this to dad...good luck. We've had that dinosaur for about 8 years now. It's treated us well, but lets face it, evolution and dinosaurs just didn't work out very well. plus the whole ice age thing. man. speaking of which, ice age III is coming out, as is the chronicles of narnia II. Wahoo!

Our computer was doing just fine...until we invited a new friend into the neighborhood--his name is Skype...and he now lives in our computer. Skype is a bad friend. pjm

i like Libby's NO SHOWERING rule for emily- - ha! hope your bags come soon!! Mark, your train of thought sometimes is SO goofy....computer....dinosours...ice age...chronicles of narnia?!!!! hahaha! you are a SILLY kid. maybe the MCAT training is getting to you....

EMILY said...

ha and leanna, I think marathons are getting to you!

I don't believe he would tell people he is "training" for the MCAT...but maybe?

Mark and Libby Miller said...

my 'mcat training' is going about as good as leannas marathon training! ok that was mean sorry. lets be real though dad, its time to move on :) iMac here we come!

i dont feel bad about skype...back to the dinosaur analogy, its survival of the fittest! Other computers (dinosaurs) evolved, and you should too. a parasite to some is a blessing to others. whatever that means.

ha...mark....you always end up somewhere completely unrelated to where you began....so silly.
