Reality Check: Media

First off Hi! It has been a long time since we have written things. 
Now lets get to blog writing!
(Did I forget to mention I have an entire arsenal of gifs?)
When I was looking at the Wikipedia page, I was amazed at all the types of media out there--both physical and digital. I mean I'm no artist or anything ( No, really I'm not that much of an artist, just look at my deviant arts page) wait a second...

I just realized something, there is a lot types of social media out there in the interwebs. I mean I could list them all out but that would very....very....very boring (not even my sarcasm jokes and gifs/pics can help). But seriously there are is a lot. There are social media geared toward different subjects, for example Goodreads, the facebook for book lovers. There is also again deviantart, where people can share their works to the community. So obviously we see where I gravitate towards, considering the fact I practically live on the internet but for good reason. Back when I used to play this one game (not going to mention it because you guys will probably get the wrong idea ;) ), I started gaining all these friends from around the globe and we started talking to each other via social media. Even now about 7 years later I still talk to some of the people now, even though we all have grown up and move into our young adult lives.  To me social media makes me believe that we are not far apart, infact we are closer than we think. Now, I mainly used the typical teenage/young adult social media outlets most people used...except pintrest...only because I need to have some self control or I will end up baking anything that pops up on my feed. It gives me an outlet to rant or just be the really random weird person that majority of you guys don't get to see in class because I'm too shy to say anything. Yes on social media I am a social butterfly, only because I don't have to look at somebody's face :D. But, I should not take this for granted as real relationship come from human contact (which is an entire blog post in itself). 


Sidenote: if you still use myspace or pronounce gif as jif like the peanut butter....

(sorry I needed an excuse to use this gif and the g in gif is graphic so yeah)
