Let me explain....

Hello world.
I'm here to tell you a little bit more about myself and in doing so explain the ridiculousness of the title of this blog. Ready? OK, here goes nothing:
I hate computers. Well, hate is a strong word, maybe I don't hate them... But I don't love them either, and I definitely don't love technology. But, I do like to write. So, this part of the whole blog making thing isn't so bad.
All I really know how to do with computers is type and use the Internet. Even those two things, I was a late bloomer on learning. So, this means no, I don't tweet, blog ,skype, use facebook or myspace, or even know half of the stuff there is out there to do using computers. I'm not even proficient in photoshop and I only recently made my first ever power point presentation! It sort of sounds like I am living in the archaic 1950's doesn't it? (Ok, I do watch stuff on youtube sometimes, but a monkey could do that, right? Yeah, I would say that is basically my level of techno- know-how; monkey) More on all this later...
I know what your thinking: What am I, some sort of weirdo or something!? Not really, just a little quirky, I guess. Maybe more on that later too, but back to me and computers...
Here is my goal: to learn how to "like" using computers more and become more comfortable with technology over all. At least enough to make me feel like less of a techno outcast and be able to do more interesting and useful things with technology.
The thing is, what I really like is to make things with my hands. For me it always comes down to a computer can't make me a delicious Italian dinner, or paint me a beautiful oil painting or sew me a blanket, so why would I spend time on it?! And aside from that, I find sitting and staring at the monitor boring! I don't fell connected to computers or technology in any way when I use them. I just use them to do what I gotta do,and that's about it. Don't get me wrong; I do love having a computer because I need to use it for school and work, but that's about it. My Mac's name is Rosie because she has a pretty pink cover .When I'm finished with whatever I needed her for, I turn her off and don't bother to venture out there into cyberland. Same goes with other kinds of technology; yes I do have an I pod touch(which came with the computer,mind you) but all I do with it is listen to music. I don't even have any pictures or videos on it, I don't have any cool apps either... I just can't seem to fall in love with the idea of it all the same way everyone else has. I just wanna listen to my music and that's it! I never even bothered to learn how to do all the other stuff with it.
So, are you starting to see why I named this blog "Computerchopedliver"? I was trying to come up with something cute or clever for a name, but instead my boyfriend and I started joking around (of coarse he had to be here to help me even get started with the blog) and in the midst of things I thought of something as repulsive as chopped liver and we agreed it just seemed like a perfect name for a blog of mine!
I understand the ideas behind modern technology and I appreciate the convenience technology has presented us with, but I just can't seem to get excited about it... At least not yet. I'm hoping this class will help me have a better out look and a better set of techno savvy skills! Otherwise I guess I just won't be taking anything with a battery,the Internet, or an electric Cord to my desert island.
