Or Beginning Blogging and Avatars to be more accurate. I think most of my energy went into trying to create the avatar. Who would have thought a casual outfit of jeans and a plain sweatshirt, or shorts and a t-shirt (the kind of clothes I envisioned my avatar wearing) would be so hard to pull together? I can feel the cataloging instinct kicking in: I was dismayed to realize that I was going to have to click through 60-odd pages to see all the possible outfits for my avatar--doesn't this just cry out for a better system of organization? Any organization at all would be an improvement. Tagging, maybe.
Blogging? Well, I'll get back to y'all about whether I like it or not. At the moment, it feels like writing a letter to a vast mass of strangers, and that feels unnatural as all get-out. Heck, if I'm going to write letters, I have friends who'd love to hear from me.
23 Things on a Stick? Sounds like a good idea. I've already tried some of the things on the list (LibraryThing = yay! Del.icio.us = uh, whatever), but I could've drifted for years more without trying blogging and who knows if I'd've ever gotten around to sampling Facebook or MySpace. (Did I just commit myself to making it that far through this program? Uh-oh).
