Lisses, Facebook & Blog Neglect
I've been neglecting my blog for quite some time, mainly because I'm in the middle of exams at the moment and have been building up to them for some time. I did my Duke of Edinburgh Gold Expedition in the North York Moors in the Easter break, and I've yet to post the photos from the venture, but it's currently in my Drafts folder in Blogger so it should be here in a couple of weeks when I get my exams out of the way. Oh and did you see the updates to my contact box in the sidebar? >>>
I'd intended on going to Lisses this Summer, as I couldn't go last year, and I am hoping to get a trip sorted soon. Last week, Paul, whom I had planned to go with, announced the date of when he's going, and he's not back for Results Day, so I've decided to form my own group and go half a week earlier than them so that our trips overlap and I still manage to get back for Results. I wouldn't mind missing Results Day so much, but it's the last chance I get to see everyone together. Anyway, if you're interested in coming to Lisses with my group (and I know you!) then give me a shout and we'll see if we can come to an arrangement. I desperately want to go, I'd be gutted to miss out again.

The other thing is that I was persuaded to sign up to MySpace, to everyone's surprise, as I've been going on about how much it sucks for over a year now, but yeh I got the wrong impression and it seems that the people I'm associated with on there don't use it like emos, it's just another fun way of keeping in touch, keeping upto date with friends, sharing photos and stuff, so yeh it's alright.

Someone else persuaded me to sign up to Facebook, which I was rather confused about at first, but I've got used to the concept now, and as of yesterday, my opinion is that it's way better than MySpace, it's more mature and sophisticated (mostly) and is aimed at keeping in touch with people you knew from various events, schools and organisations throughout your life. It's not customisable like MySpace is, but in a way it's a really good thing as it maintains a standard interface and stylesheet throughout the whole site. You can add applications and join (or start your own) groups, and that will sound "typical social networking" to anybody who, like me, judged this sort of thing before I got to know about it, but yeh it's all pretty cool, it's useful, fun and a great way of keeping your friends right where you want them (if they want you to...).
