Hehe. I love Fridays so much. For some reason this week has really flown by. For some reason, I only realised today was Friday as I was heading for Spanish. I was counting the times I had to set my iPhone alarm for 07:40, and I realised that I’d done it 5 times, which meant today was Friday!

There’s a dilemma I face. I used to set my alarm for 25 past, which gave me 15 minutes to grab my laptop, check Twitter/feeds/emails. Maybe I’m addicted, but I’ve done this for ages. Then, recently, I started setting my alarm for 07:40. This meant I got more sleep, but couldn’t check feeds.

Then iPhone came!

Now, I check Twitter/feeds/emails on my iPhone in between mouthfuls of Weetabix! It’s brilliant.

OK, I’m addicted. Addicted to the internet.

It’s true, but where’d it all start?

I’m using to being a computer user, as it obviously runs in the family. I remember this rickety Windows 95 I had when I was nine that I browsed wikipedia with, and played with Windows Media Player’s (big bag of fail) different skins, even though I only had about 2 albums.

Or back when Mum’s company operated out of our house, when everyone went home at 5, myself and my brothers would run in and boot up Age of Empires II and play against one another until I went to bed. Ahh. Good times.

Yeah, early computer usage was limited to Age of Empires II until I got a laptop when I was 12. This was around or maybe just after Patrick went to MIT, which means it was around or maybe just after I began blogging.

My early blogging was a fail because of two main reasons:

A) I was crap at it

B) No one read me

You can call me all the names under the sun that encompass ‘attention seeking’ or whatever, but you do need a readership to blog. As someone who has about 10 old blogs, I know :-P

Anyway! It’s Friday! Wahey!
