Instagramming

Friends, I told you a couple of weeks ago that my work "made" me get an iPhone a couple of weeks ago. I was dreading it. I don't like poking my fingers when typing emails or anything. But oh Lord, am I obsessed with the iPhone. Not only because of the fact that I was able to get a much better (i.e., cuter) case than I had for my blackberry, but also because (among other reasons) I was able to join the world of Instagram! My first Instagram picture is the following:  

Heavy processes, I know, But I'm NEW!!

Instagram is just so easy.  Not that blogging isn't easy. Blogging just makes when feel bad when I post crap posts like this and don't reveal to you all the deep, enlightening thoughts I have that I want to share. But with Instagram, I post the crap picture above with my shallow crap thoughts next to it and I feel that I participated and contributed in a very meaningful and satisfying way.  (Satisfying to you, me, her, him, whoever, I don't care.)  Crap can be satisfying when done in the right context, no? 

So anyhow... if you are interested, you can find me at @lovelinessoflife(Did I even say that right? "at @"?) I made my account private. Its me, not you, so please don't be offended.  I may change my mind at some point on the privacy issue, but not right now. And I would love to follow YOUR instagram pictures too. Unless you just post advertisement crap that I see on most bloggers' Twitter accounts. (That is crap done in a less than satisfying context. Am I alone on this thought?) But I don't think Instagram is conducted that way.

THAT'S WHY I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

I sent you a follow request (I'm carolinarobin). I didn't want to like Instagram at first, but it isn't as pretentious as it originally seemed.
And I like this picture you posted.

Ah! I just went to the IPhone too...I had had a crappy flip phone before that. The first thing I did was get the instagram app- I was so excited too!

Erin said...

hahaha Welcome to the Instagram family :) Its true, some of the photos I take of simple things like my lunch can look so deep and meaningful when on Instagram lol

Sarah said...

It's official I'm the ONLY blogger left without instagram or a twitter account, due to the fact I don't have a phone with internet. My husband says, if you get internet on your phone, all you'll do is take pictures for your blog...lol. He knows me too well!

Rebecca said...

Congrats on Instagram! It is SO fun. I wish my work "made" me get an iPhone. Haha.

I just got an iPhone when my beloved Blackberry finally died a few weeks ago, and was also dreading it! Maybe its a lawyer thing :)

enjoy!

Rach @ This Italian Family said...

Aww so glad you are loving your new phone now! Enjoy Instagram, friend! :)

Stephanie said...

Yay!! I'm following you now... or at least, I requested to follow you so hopefully you'll accept. :)

(Though, after reading IG's new terms of use for 2013, I don't know how much longer I'm going to remain active.)

Ashlyn said...

Don't you just love Instagram?! I mean, all people really care about are the pictures anyway. I just requested to follow you :)

Devon said...

I've had the iPhone 4 twice and I was obsessed with it! I LOVED my phone! =) It has a pretty awesome high quality camera and it was just different than any other phone. I loved the apps it had too! Plus, it made me feel within the group because EVERYONE had an iPhone, even the celebrities! =)

Have a Merry Christmas!
