Final Blog Post

        Wow. Final blog post. I never though this day would come.  But anyway... I'm just going to get started.
*  Is writing online different than in a notebook?  In what ways?
        Writing online can be very different from writing in a notebook.  First of all, you're not using pen/pencil and paper.  You are using a laptop or something like that.  It makes the overall feel of writing different.  And you don't see the person's handwriting, which can show a little bit about the person writing the words.  So in a way you are a little more distant from everyone when writing online.

*  In what ways can writing online be liberating?  Limiting?
        It can be liberating because you can say what you want.  You feel like you have a little bit more of a sense of freedom when you write.  Plus, if you have bad handwriting, people will be able to read what you write so you don't have to re-write things over and over.  Writing online can also be a little bit limiting, too.  You can't really see people's handwriting, which shows you a little about them, so everyone will seem more distant.  And if you want to draw a picture to show what you mean, you can't really do that on a computer.

*  Do you think that people are more real online or do we create online personalities that project the best of ourselves? Or something else?
        No, I don't think people are more real online, especially in blogs.  When people write, they often do it in a different style then they speak in, which makes them sort or fake.  I know that this sometimes happens to me, I mean seriously, I don't talk like this.  And writing in a different way that we speak does create a online personality for us.  We use different language, write in different ways, and just aren't the same.  But sometimes we don't create a totally new personality, sometimes we just show a different part of our personalities.
        So that is it for my blog.  The last one of the year.  So... bye!
