For the record, I know I haven't written in a long while...but...a lot has happened, and well, I'm sorry. I don't think anyone really reads this anymore but oh well. I am sure that someday I will read it to all of my grandchildren and they will tell me how weird of me to let other people read my journal. I get that now all the time. To save face, it's not like I'm telling you my most intimate secrets. I'm TALKING to you, or to be fair, talking to a void, an Internet void. I guess you could say I am turning into an Internet geek. I mean I order gifts online, I talk to my friends online, I email instead of call, and yes I use the Internet as my therapy.  I have a laptop, which sadly does not have a name yet, but I am still working on it.  But the biggest step so far in my transformation to becoming a full fledged computer geek is...drum roll please...I am now not only in a computer art class, but my grandmother is paying me to teach her how to use her new computer and to fix it when needed. Maybe I have been the computer geek all along I've just been trying to hide it...by the way...I won the computer award in 11th grade. What can I say...?
