FMM: The Internet

We're back from our whirlwind trip North for a few weeks before we head South for the beach.

Of course, this started happening as soon as we got back.  We are in so much trouble.

It's hard to believe June is already over.  When did that happen?!  For now, I'm just trying to enjoy time with The Wombat.  I tried running the week after school let out and majorly screwed up my knee so I haven't been doing much more exercise other than walking.  Hopefully it will feel better soon so I can hit the exercise hard.  People are meeting at work three times a week for weight lifting.  I really need to go do that.  Strength training is so boring.

Now on to Friend Making Monday!

FMM: The Internet

1.  Have you ever met anyone online before meeting them in person? Yep.  See #3 for more details...

2.  What is your opinion on social media’s impact on our society?  Does it make life better or worse?  Generally, I don't get too wrapped up in social media.  I like it for the purpose of keeping up with friends and family.  I keep hearing that I should be using Twitter in the classroom, but I just don't see the point of Twitter right now.  My life is not that interesting!  Now, if I had a Smartphone, I would be blowing up Instagram with pictures of The Wombat...so maybe it's best that I don't have a Smartphone.

3.  Do you believe that it’s possible to fall in love with someone that you’ve never met in person?  Considering I met my husband online and we've been together over 15 years (married 12.5), yeah, I think it's possible.  :)

4.  Do you prefer to shop in stores or online?  It depends on the item.  Clothes I pretty much have to try on these days.  I never know what is going to fit.  Everything else...well, I don't mind buying it online as long as there is free shipping.

5.  What blogging platform do you use?  (WordPress, Blogger, something else?)  Blogger, it's fine.  If I get a more interesting blog maybe I'd do self hosting but again, I'm just not that interesting (or consistent).

6.  Have you ever blogged for another site?  Would you?  Nope

7.  Do you use services like Netflix and Hulu?  I use the free Hulu sometimes.  We had Netflix, but they never had any recent movies on Instant streaming so we cancelled it.  Since our Wii was stolen we don't have a medium to watch Netflix on a real tv so I doubt we'll be getting it anytime soon.

8.  Would you prefer to get blog comments or to interact on twitter?  As I said in #2, I really haven't figured out the point of Twitter so it's blog comments all the way.

9.  Do you prefer to read books or e-books?   E-books.  However, if it's a book I really like or a series that I read, I also want the real book.  I want to have my book and read it too.  :)

10.  Share at least one experience that you would not have had without being a blog author.  I'm betting I wouldn't have met my husband so consider how VASTLY different my life would be.  Different college, different job, different life.
