Can you handle this?

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure if I'm ready for this blog business. I tend to be a fairly "low-tech" person. You know, the kind of person who has never actually figured out how to use call-waiting on her cell phone, the one who is eternally surprised by the way her iPod works.

I vividly remember once, in high school, hitting some random assortment of keys on one of the school computers. Suddenly a bright red "warning" display was flashing on my screen, and within five seconds, every other computer screen featured the same message. Sure, many people have assured me that there is no way possible that it was my fault, but I still cringe when I remember the three days in which the entire school computer system refused to function. It probably didn't help that I started shrieking as soon as my screen began flashing, bringing attention to the fact that my computer was the first to display symptoms of a collosal meltdown.

Most of my friends swear up and down that they love my technical ineptitude. They profess their adoration amidst giggles at my inability to check my voicemail without a massive calamity. Yet even if they can forgive, and even enjoy, my lack of technological prowess, I still hope that one day I will wake up and suddenly possess that innate ability wielded by some to instantly comprehend the inner workings of anything with a plug.

Bear with me, fellow bloggers. This could be frightening!
