My First Blog Post!

Hey, I'm Rose Fair. I am new to the blog world, but I have definitely heard a thing or two about it! For me, I have accepted that it will always take me a convenient 4 or 5 years to catch on with the latest buzz. It took my family about 5 years to finally get a DVD player after it had hit the market. Also, I didn't have cable growing up until I was a senior in high school. My first Ipod was purchased when I entered college, and I just recently got a new laptop that has...drum roll please...a web cam and Skype! Oh ya, I am ready for the big time!

All this technology stuff can really make a girl's head spin! I have to say that as more and more gadgets fall into the hands of Americans, I am more and more content with my small town raising and my lack of necessity for those gadgets. Don't get me wrong. I can appreciate my new computer and my $30 Ipod shuffle from Ebay (I know, right!!) but at the same time, I am hoping and praying that we can all still find the time to take a walk in the park or to sit down with a friend for coffee. It is not so much that technology is bad--it is more that our manners are slowly faltering. Try talking to a friend for 20 minutes and NOT looking at your cell phone. I challenge you! And I bet if you try hard enough...you CAN actually do it.

Well, I am a busy college student who is surrounded by many blessings. I am fortunate enough to live with my sister in a cozy apartment in an action-packed city. I love my major and my minor. There are many positive things in my life, and now that I have figured out this whole Blog thing, I look forward to sharing some of those with the public. I have this habit of constantly observing the world and from this observation, I have gained many insights which I like to call Epifunny's. It always amazes me that humans are such strange creatures....and when you pair all my observing with the fact that I study Anthropology, it is no wonder that I have a lot to say about human behavior.

So please give me some feedback as I begin this whole blogging adventures. If there is one thing I DON'T have a problem with, it would be expressing my opinions! :)
