The computer...

I am starting to wonder about my computer habits....

Originally, coming here to Chile, I was suppose to be computerless. My computer, which was pretty much a piece of crap anyway, was stolen when my car was vandalized in June. I'm sure that thief was so excited when he/she found out that OSX was failing, the CDrom was broken, the battery didn't hold a charge, and the computer pretty much decided when IT wanted to "sleep". None the less, the computer worked for me sometimes, and that was better than no computer at all. I couldn't and still can't afford to buy a new computer...so that left me stuck with nothing...until my dear friend decided to get a new computer herself and lend me her old one (Thanks Amy:)). That presents the situation I have now which is this: I AM ALWAYS ON THE COMPUTER!!! And I have some major computer shame...I am becoming an "In the closet" facebooker, skyper, g-chatter, etc. And you ask...what do I mean by "In the closet"?? Well, I'll tell you! I've discovered the status of "invisible" or "seen as offline". Whatever you want to call it for each different online chatting community...It is there. So, when my computer shame starts to set in....I change my status so that people won't know how much time I am spending on my computer. I thought I had this unique problem until today when a friend of mine confessed that she does the SAME THING! So...that leaves me with a big question for everyone out there...How many of you are "in the closet" these days, hmm?? Maybe there are only two of us, but I have a feeling there are more. And, honestly, I think it's really funny...which is why I'm blogging about it.
