You may have noticed that I have a new, whatchyamicallit, Gadget in the right hand tool bar...
Yup, that's right! I joined Twitter! Naturally immediately after joining Twitter I went and added my tweets (twitterings?) to the left so that you can see what my tweets are all about!
I wasn't sure what to think at first cause there are just so many new sites out there for this kinda stuff... I had joined Plurk and really found that it wasn't interesting enough to keep me checking in all the time. Plus you have to earn points and stuff. This made me feel like a failure of a plurker because I had negative points and no friends.
But twittering is fun! You can go and follow other people's tweets and send your own tweets out into the world. I just wish we had the mobile (cell phone) tweeting feature out here cause that would be SO MUCH FUN! Plus President Obama tweets! So naturally I'm following.
Any other new tweeters out there?

Inauguration Day!!
Dear President Obama,
Congratulations on being elected the 44th President of the United States!
You can feel the excitement in the air even out here in the Middle East. This has got to be the longest 74 days ever! It has felt like all of the U.S. and half the World have been waiting for January 20th like it was their birthday. Waiting for you to take your oath. The pressure that you are experiencing must be extraordinary but one thing you have that not all President Elects have had is that the people of the U.S. and the World are not waiting for you to fail but rather expecting you to succeed. They KNOW you can do this. The two million people standing outside in Washington DC and the millions at home who are waiting for your to take your oath are proof of our confidence in you.
I'll be hoping along with the world that you will bring the United States back to where is has not been for many presidents now. Love your family and always keep them close to you as only they can support you in the way that you will need now.
I'm wishing you all the best in the next four years
And please if there is anything I or anyone else can do for you... All you have to do is ask.
Best Regards,
Lindsay

High Hopes
After talking to friends and family throughout the past few weeks I have realized that there is a general consensus. People have high hopes.
High hopes for the Obama Administration
High hopes for the economy
High hopes for our selves
So far 2009 is shaping up to be a pivotal year in the world's history. There are so many things and people that the world is focused on at this precise moment. When I reflect on the last eight years I remember just how much we have gone through; so many historical moments. It makes me wonder what we have ahead of us. What is waiting just around the corner to change our theories, to change our perspectives and to change our world?
I think both people who are critical and those that supportive of the events of the last few years are looking forward to this New Year like a breath of fresh air. We are tired of the same complaints and the same topics and we are waiting for change. We are optimistic that there is a light at the end of our tunnel
What I hope for is that we are not let down. I hope some of us change the way we live and that we do not forget what this world has been through in the last decade. We should take our experiences and learn from them. Perhaps if companies and financial institutions thought more about the goodness of the over all people rather than the deepness of their pockets or perhaps if the US remembers just how influential they are to the world both politically and socially then the economy and world perspective would recover quicker and stronger then ever. Perhaps if we remember that we are all human, with families, with people who love us we will be a little bit more considerate to those around us.
I have no doubt that we are going to experience some bumps in the road but lets have high hopes that it will be a smoother year for us all.
Ok ok, enough of the heavy stuff. I'm going to go shop for yarn online now
