It's cool just because I've had this dream of changing the sport of swimming and it's finally happening.

I'm cute - and God I hate that. Because that's not cool. I'm like your niece and nobody wants to date their niece. It's the chubby cheeks. The whole reason people voted for me on American Idol is because I'm an everyday normal girl.

I've never done anything because I thought it would look cool.

Over and over again financial experts and wonkish talking heads endeavor to explain these mysterious 'toxic' financial instruments to us lay folk. Over and over they ignobly fail because we all know that no one understands credit default obligations and derivatives except perhaps Mr. Buffett and the computers who created them.

Computers rather frighten me because I never did learn to type so the whole thing seems extraordinarily complicated to me.

People are on their computers more than watching TV because you can only watch voyeur TV which is basically what reality shows are for so long.

But I'm so slow on it because I find it terribly hard writing blind on computers. The computer speaks to me but it's just so slow I'm so terribly slow using it.

The ownership of computers in the home is far less than the statistics show because usually when the computer breaks down once that is the end of it for a long long time. They do not have the money or incentive to get the computer repaired.

When I grew up we had gym at school two or three dance classes after school ice skating lessons and all sorts of sports at our finger tips. We weren't glued to computers because they didn't exist so being active was all we knew.

Yeah computers are going to take over the programming business because they have become so fast recently that they can solve the Halting Problem in five seconds flat.
