This New Blogger is freaking weird. There isn't really alot of difference, but it's still not the same. I hate changes, and I avoid them if I can.

For example, my email. It's been around and in use ever since Primary 4, and it has a history. blursotong is the brainstorm of this guy by the name of Justin Lin who sat next to me in class when we were p4, cos I mentioned that I wanted to set up an email account and I needed a name for it. Being only 10 at that time, I thought it was such a freaking cool name for an email. But then, blursotong was already taken, so blursotong50 it became. 50 because I thought it was such a nice number and everything. Now, turning 19, I'm beginning to think that it's a totally dorky name for an email. Imagine next time when I'm applying for permanent jobs, and I send in my resume. The potential employers are going to go.. blursotong50?! That's so cheesy. How old is this girl anyway? She doesn't sound very intelligent. Next. And there go my chances of every getting a job. Haha. Okay I'm sure in reality my email address is not going to affect my chances of getting a job, at least not to that large an extent. The point is, even though I think is so corny and all, I can't bring myself to change it. Because it's been my email for so many years, people know me by that email, and everything is submitted/registered with that email, changing it is going to cause so much trouble and it's going to need some getting used to, and I don't want that.

Maybe it's just me, but then I'm sure people in general are more or less resistant to changes that take them out of their comfort zones. Like some sort of inertia. Why make things difficult for yourself when you can avoid it, right? Some people might just call it old school and inflexible and lazy. Which is ROAR true. My brother bought an iMAC for himself, and I told him its so difficult to use even though it looks very nice. And he told me that you just have to get used to it. Because all our lives we've been using Windows, that's why when we use Mac which is totally different we don't know how to use. So when he gets used to it, he'll be good with both. Makes him flexible. Haha.
