questions for anyone who will answer

After almost two long years, I have internet access at home. During the time I was internet-free, I would often have to tell people stuff like "Don't email me about important and/or time-sensitive stuff because I don't have the internet at home" and most would stare at me incredulously as if I said I didn't have indoor plumbing. I honestly didn't think it was that unusual - an inconvenience, to be sure, but I never thought it made me a complete and total weirdo.

Is it completely ridiculous to go that long without the internet? Am I basically the only person in the country (barring babies, the very poor, and Amish) who would, mainly out of laziness, go that long without the internet at home?

Next... I was thinking about trying to blog more often. I "think about" trying to do a lot of things more often. These are mostly things I almost NEVER do, like exercising, eating healthy food, working on my thesis, or washing my kitchen floor. As a chronic procrastinator I'm really skilled at coming up with bulletproof reasons not to do stuff, and my potential reason not to write blog posts would be I'm not sure if it's still a relevant medium now that Twitter exists. But I have to say, due to my long absence from the internet I'm not too familiar with Twitter, beyond hearing (on the radio, of course) about how popular it is. So internet friends, do people even read blogs anymore?
