Hey! We're in the future now!

Ok! When I was a little girl... we always talked about the future and "the Year 2000"... but the only thing I could think about was robots and VIDEO PHONES! I'd get so excited at the concept, I'd almost pee my liotards!
*
I was like, "THAT WOULD BE SO COOOOL!!!
*
Well everybody... squeeze your knees tight! The future is now here! * I've had Skype since December...and it is the coolest ever! It's free, works well, it's easy and IT IS THE BEST!!!
Skype is a video chat thing that works thru your computer...and you can type chat too.
*
SO here's my idea!
*
It's too quiet crafting alone. So will you join me?
From across the world? Get skype (it works for pc & mac), and we can craft at the same time on video chat... randomly look up at what each others doing... and chat our faces off...and share ideas and giggles :)
*
Friends, Strangers, Lurkers, Noobs, Mom, Commenters, Anyone. I don't care if we don't know each other... we'll get to know each other!!
*
Here's what you need:
- A webcam with video/audio. Lots of laptops have them built-in now...
- Get skype
(email me if you need help)
- Add me to your contacts... my nick is leighann204
And I'll add you... (email me at FreckledNest@gmail.com so I know who you are)
- Have a craft time :)
*
I'm gonna be in my studio all weekend, so there will be lots of chances to Chat! it! UP! And I'm in there lots as it is... this would make it SO much more fun... if I could hang with YOU!
*
Here's my msn if you wanna chat there (FreckledNest@gmail.com). But video is better, because it's hands free... IT'S LIKE YOU'RE IN THE SAME ROOM!
*
I know. Crazy! Video Phones are here. It's blowing my mind. AND it's FREE...anywhere in THE WORLD!
And if you're shy, don't worry. My excitement is contagious... you'll be a giggling videochat blabber mouth like me in no time ;)
Peace! LA
* Leave comments with other ideas or your msn or skype-nickname if you wanna have other people chat and craft with you too! Like a club!
*
Loves it!

  1. Dude I am sooo down!!! I just got a new laptop with built in video and I was wondering what in the world will I use it for? However I think I may need to pick up a microphone or something, im not sure if it has audio. I will figure it out!

  2. so when you say "that would be so cool" are you refering to peeing your liotards part or the video phone thing?

    cause they both sounds pretty nifty
