Tiara's Words [and the occasional EducateDeviate]
Well, hello

I have waaaaay too many blogs but that's not stopping me from trying out another one. Especially since it's here, anyway.

So hello everybody.

I've been getting quite a few random people adding me on MyTIG or MSN from here. I just had a "conversation" with one:

Him: Hello
Him: I am from Pakistan
Me: Where did you find me?
Him: from TIG, I am a member
Me: I see. Hello.
Him: You are Bangali
Me: By race
Him: Ok
Him: What are your activities?
[I got stumped a bit here. Right now I'm just waiing for a few things to happen. While thinking of my answer...]
Him: Are you busy?
Me: [pressed 'enter' at the same time] Right now writing stuff online. [which is my current "activity"; I maintain a blog on alternative education. But I wasn't doing it RIGHT NOW.]
Him: Ok will talk to you later
Him: Bye
Me: [um...] Bye [???]

haha.

I do wish people would be slightly more descriptive about why they write to me or add me sometimes! Not just TIG either, I get plenty of these just being on Friendster/MySpace/Hi5, but on TIG it tends to be slightly more confusing - especially since rarely do we talk about anything to do with "taking IT global".

At least on LiveJournal, when most people add me, they write something a lot more coherant!

Perhaps I am prejudiced to some degree. But I'm starting to wonder if some of the people that find me through here have some sort of "ulterior motive". Or at least a motive that is not "let's make the world a better place".

and I've never heard from a fellow female in this place, that's odd.

Hmm. Anyway.

While I'm rambling my head off here...perhaps I can ask a question.

Any of you know any good resources for starting a youth center?

take care y'all,

B*B, Tiara

What kind of youth center?
Do you want to start a telecentre/internet cafe? Or something sports focused? I'm sure many of us know tons of great resources... just need to know more about what you're thinking...

lol. first of all, I am female fella. ;o)
And some people just use TIG to get to know more people, maybe more specifically decent ones or ones who know wats happenin around and wanna try n change it. However, that doesnt mean that they add u or contact u to talk about how to make the world a better place. Almost everyone wud add u to be friends, really normal ones, like those who wanna add u fron Hi5 for instance. They dont tell abt themselves in the prespective tht thru chatting they're gonna get to know u and vice versa. So TIG is not any different from the pther places u mentioned wen it comes to tht point.

Reem: hee. I just found it a bit "o_O", myself.

Micheal: I was thinking something like a cross between a youth complex, with plenty of facilities, and a youth hostel. Youths here don't really have a place that's affordable and accessible to go during their free time (except for shopping malls, really) and I wanted to make such a place.

There would be different areas - a kitchen (to learn how to cook), a creative space, a studio, computers, gym, etc etc. Perhaps youth-related busineses & orgs could also set up shop there. Rather like a youth-oriented mall whose focus is on making a difference (rather than money).
