The First Entry...an Era Hopefully Begins.

So for nearly two years now I have had a tradition on my AIM profile called "Cheers and Boos." Something that not everyone might know is that the idea for Cheers and Boos was actually taken from my dear old college newspaper, The Fairfield Mirror. The idea behind it was that it was a formal/informal place for the students of Fairfield U to commemorate (cheer) or vent about (boo) the week that had passed. During my time at Fairfield...I think I only sent any "official" C and Bs to The Mirror once.

Instead I decided to do my own weekly Cheers and Boos using the 1029 precious characters that I get in my AIM profile. Over the years it has caught on. The tradition has been shared with friends, and I feel that I am never truly out of touch with the people I care about, because they are usually reading C and B. The thing is this...1029 characters is just not long enough!! I have more to say, and I need a sounding board! I will still be continuing the C and B tradition on my AIM profile because it just doesn't feel right not to. However, I know that my little academians out there, as well as fellow-internet addicts, will appreciate having another site to check instead of writing that paper/studying for that midterm/paying those bills/getting sleep so we'll be rested for the morning when we have to go to the places we are paid to go to. I am fully aware of how well these sites work at propagating procrastination. So procrastinate away, people! In closing, Dice, this is for YOU!!
