Dear Firefox,
I'll admit. At first, I was apprehensive. You were unfamiliar and difficult to navigate. Everyone swore that I would love you and I just wasn't sure. You temporarily messed up my g-chat, but I was able to fix it with a quick cache clearing. My bookmarks did indeed transfer over, but it took a few clicks to restore them to the proper folders. The fonts changed, as did the appearance of my school e-mail account.
Firefox, I'm sorry for doubting you. Everyone has their faults and you more than make up for them. There's twitterfox, Foxytunes, and so many more. I'd heard of the joys of automatic spell check and I'm amazed! No more pop-ups? Hallelujah! You also allow me to update my facebook status as "Gretchen is firefoxy."
Plus, just look at how cute you are in stuffed animal form. {Image courtesy of qwantz.com}
I do believe this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Yours forever,
Gretchen

Isn't it just glorious? Mmhmm. I doubted it, too, but once I switched, I have never looked back!
Also, I'm loving that stuffed animal! So freaking cute!

I'm still in the beginning, "this is awkward to use" phase. So far, I only use Firefox to stream videos. I can't personalise Firefox at work, so I can't use it to its full potential. I'm rarely online at home these days, so it might be a while before I make the full transition from IE to Firefox.

Yes. It makes you think why people even use IE, it's so much better!

Oh that IE. It will never learn, it will never change.

Greth-
I'd have to say you are rather funny; by rather I mean to the extreme. I really think you should pursue your writing career further than blogs and the 100 discussion board.
Oh girl, you are almost done with your time at BYU-I! Love it.
