Keeping a homepage is a lot like raising your cyber pet using Damagochi.

You have to constantly care for it, think about it and plan things you want to do with it,

when you have time again to be with it.

 

 

I remember how my palms sweated when I was holding my damagochi as a ten year old, who

never had a chance to have a real animal as a pet.

 

I don't remember whether I cared for it enough. Although I remember inkling of the tenderness I have felt for that being that lived inside the small and somewhat roughly built structure of a world.

A wee thing that was always there when I looked for it.

 

 

I think tactile element is important for me to form a long lasting relationship with it, let it be a person or an object. I suppose that is because I believe the ability to touch something, gives me a better chance of not being fooled-that tactile contact reveals things that are true and revealed.

 

That is why I always spend a long time considering what kind of notebook I need to get. The texture of the paper, the colour of it and the size matter greatly.

 

I am unsure at this moment of the possibility of myself building a enjoyable relationship with my blog.

 

Should I call it tactile though, because my hands are moving constantly while I am looking into the screen, even now? I don't know. I shall have to try it out, my new damagochi.
