wherein I am blindsided by modern technology, yet again ;)

Okay, people... this is just a brief announcement of extreme importance. I have officially entered the 21st century. By which I mean, I now have SKYPE. I spent over an hour this evening on VIDEO CHAT OMG. I can't even believe this, I have always said I hated the idea of video chat, of how awkward it must be, much worse than talking on the phone (which is also awkward for me, as you may know)... But it wasn't, it wasn't awkward at all, it was nearly as good as talking in person, and the sound quality was ten times better than on my stupid phone, which has spotty reception at best... Why, oh why haven't I thought of this before???... O_O

I can now have endless conversations and/or text message exchanges FOR FREE!!! No need to worry about running out of minutes, low battery power or getting hand cramps from hours of typing awkwardly on a tiny phone keyboard... LOL. My life is changed. I can probably even set up Skype chats with some of my old friends across the Atlantic... if I ever find the time to contact them about this, because right now The Vampire Chronicles fandom and its side-effects in the form of MOST INCREDIBLE FRIENDSHIP EVER seem to be taking up all I've got. Not that I'm complaining. I'm just a little dizzy with the wonder of it all... *headshake* ;)

Well, I was sort of pushed into it...;) Not that I'm complaining. Sometimes I do need a push towards something that's actually good for me...:D
