So I just signed up at Twitter. I have no idea what I am doing nor how to do it. I think I’m getting *gasp* old!
I used to be one of those kids that knew how to work all the gadgets; had answers for everything. I taught my step-mom how to use the TV, I was the one to figure out the stereo for my mom. My brother and I showed my dad how to use the Nintendo [the first one, with Duck Hunt. Now there's a wicked game.]
Now? I need help. Technology is kicking my ass. Figuratively of course. I mean, there isn’t really a program that kick my ass. Is there? If there is, I’m a lot further behind then I thought.
I never imagined this would happen to me. It feels like, in a matter of maybe 5 years I’ve gone from technologically capable to, well.. my grandma.
First Twitter and now Second Life. As of the past two weeks or so, I’ve really been craving to go to BlogHer, but it just ain’t happening this year. All those (in)famous bloggers to cause trouble with soak in all the great knowledge shared on blogging with and I won’t be there. Too bad. So sad.
But! I’ve signed up for Second Life (SL) for the virtual BlogHer. (check it! HerSizzle Can’t-remember-my-last-name! In. the. house! HOLLA!)
[I've made my virtual me a spitting image of myself. *rolleyes* HUGE boobies, skinny as a rail and HOTNESS! OMG the hotness will burn you ALIVE! So, if you see a big tramp walking around clueless - huge boobs, lotsa hair and short slutty clothes - go say hi. Might be me!]
I even used to be pretty damn good at Sims; played all the time – that’s probably why I got good – regardless, I can handle a computer and a game. SL? Not so much. I can’t get out of the damn *required* tutorials. Fuck that! If I wanna play a game without being able to fuckin’ fly, that’s MY prerogative: even though I can so fly. I am a flying machine. But that’s not the point here people.
I’m never going to make it to even the damn virtual BlogHer at this rate. I guess if I had 2456 hours to commit before BlogHer started I *may* get there, but at this rate, I might as well walk to Chicago. I’d get there faster.

I so know what you mean! I’ve just figured out Facebook (kind of) and Mayas Mom and now there’s this Twitter thing?! How do people find time for all this?! I wish you were going to Blogher also.
LOL..Are you on facebook yet?
I tried your advice….I saw a girl with huge boobies, walked up to her and said hi.
Thanks a lot Sam…..she slapped me….then my wife did too
I’m with you on the “starting to lag behind on technology”. I guess years down the road, our grandkids will make fun of us and our “big bulky MP3 players”.
Okay I am so close to re-registering for BlogHer to go in person (long story) but now I hear I can hook up with the hottest Second Life version of you … hmmmm … tempting!
You’re going to be at Virtual BlogHer?? Maybe I’ll sign up too! I’m not going to the real one.
How long does it take to register? (I’m not very techno savvy either.)
I’m a technological idiot.
Twitter…one more damn thing for me to keep up with.
I’m off to check it out, though, I don’t want to be left out!
Seeing as I am woefully not able to attend BlogHer either, the idea of a virtual try sounds very intriguing.
However, I also suffer from a lack of techno savyness and might just embarass myself trying!
If you happen to figure it out….please list step by step instructions! Thanks!
You have always left me speechless, at myspace and here at how technologically intelligent you are. I am so NOT like that, but as little as I am, I am far ahead of many woment my age when it comes to this stuff LOL. (It’s the kid in me haha).
Now if only I could figure out how to make a LINK in my blog. That would fulfill everything I still desire to know about blogger LOL.
Dude – you are way ahead of me…I don’t even know what you are talking about!
I signed up for second life but I had no idea what to do with it. I couldn’t change my appearance. I had no idea where to go. I freaked out and ran back to my first life.
LOL You are a technology genius to me, Sam!!!!
