Ann, definitely good to get them when they are young…. Your daughter takes after you: a natural! And, yes, everything is bloggable…. I’m loving Annarchy!

I LOVE your video when you say “Um, how close are you?”

My friends do this to me ALL the time–they put the camera sooooo close to me that I’m cross-eyed.

You = amazing

1. I was born in Santa Barbara. HUZZAH!

2. The worst is when you meet somebody, and explain what you do, and they go, “Blogging? Oh, right. I’ve, uh, read some of those.”

And you totally know that they’ve pigeonholed you based on their first impressions of a 15-year-old’s LiveJournal.

All I can say is I wish I’d been there! Penny’s comment was uber funny and may have been prophetic. I would not be surprised that a 10 year old was blogging circles around me.

@Bdot – I disagree. IMO, the “Can you type? Then you can blog” line is the quote of the month! And I think it’s true. Just like if you have a football, you can play football – or anything else of the sort. Does it mean everyone can do it professionally or as well as everyone else? Of course not. Plus, I think we can all easily assume that Penny wasn’t putting down professional bloggers.

Thanks for the comments guys… I have a love-hate relationship with video. It’s cool the way it captures nuances and moments otherwise forgotten. At the same time, it’s sometimes painful the way it captures nuances and moments otherwise forgotten!

In other words, I often cringe as I watch video — esp. of myself. Which is the “code” Mack picked up on….lol…

Nettie — It’s incredible how much funnier I become after a few glasses of red. Or how much funnier I *think* I am. Whatever, right? (See paragraph above.)

So if ““I like the weather” (paraphrased) is kid-code for “Check it! I love being out of school!!””

….then what is “how close are you? Pretty close?” adult code for?

Taken out of context….”can you type? [Then] You can blog”…. just because you have a brush, doesn’t mean you can Paint….it takes talent, and desire….As a professional (and non-blogger), I take offense when someone thinks they can do my job. But I understand these words were intended as encouragement to some younger people.
