Saturday, April 25, 2009: Thoughts on the Internet

So I just finished watching all the fiveawesomegirls videos all the way through for the second time. I also recently began watching the fiveawesomeguys for the first time, and that is going well. I've also watched the vlogbrothers four times through now, I believe.

This makes me think about my life on the Internet and how different it is from my life outside of the Internet. What I like so much about my two live is that they offer two totally different experiences. IRL, I focus my energy mostly on becoming very tight-knit with a small group of people, but the Internet is more about being a small part of something huge. I love the Nerdfigher community, I love the YouTube community, it's all really great fun. I think the reason that I spend so much time watching and re-watching all these videos is that I like to remind myself why I put time into the Internet and why it's really quite worthwhile to me. I hope that I can be a part of these great communities for a long time, and I hope I continue to achieve balance between Internet life and my existence IRL.

Thing I like about the past 24 hours: My friends and I making a 4.5 gallon bucket of pudding, which was a sequel to the 4.5 gallon bucket of Jello. Next project: possibly Ramen.
Thing I dislike about the past 24 hours: Walking all the way to the storage space company office, only to find out it is not open.
Song addiction of the day: "The Bad Touch" by the Bloodhound Gang
Number of caffienated beverages in the past 24 hours: 1
