Almost everyone at PV has one. Or at least everyone in the class of 2011 has one. A tumblr. Similar to blogger, Tumblr is a blogging website that is simple to use and, when used correctly, can make certain people socially burgeon. Most people use Tumblr because it is unblocked on school computers. However, some people who are normally extremely social in the "real world" become hermits when it comes to Tumblr. Most coalesce their social "real life" and their social "Tumblr life" but a select few become engrossed in their ephemeral social life (because, after all, a Tumblr can be deleted.
Sometimes, the most garrulous people make the best Tumblr posts but other times they make the most invidious posts. However, no matter the quality of the Tumblr, their blog gets them talking about their most passionate ideas and thoughts. Even the most amorphous people seem to adapt to the social animal called Tumblr!
So my question is, when will it stop? When it come to a point where PV computer police (aka Pico) will notice our little ruse of "blogging" and usurp Tumblr? Does our Tumblr sortie post a significant danger to the socially advanced (or, for that matter, the socially inept)? Will it ever come to that point? I'm sure PV hopes otherwise. Will PV students succumb to the powers of the administration or will we merely shake off the allegations that Tumblr is detrimental to our health?! WILL WE REBEL.
Anyway, whoever is following me, leave comments...

i absolutely love your posts. they are so insightful and your incorporation of vocabulary is so natural that i soak up vocab, writing skills, and content from your posts. this one in specific drew my attention because tumblr is so frustrating to me, just for that reason: because people don't know how to use it appropriately. you pose some excellent questions, and make some very valid point about the social aspect of tumblr and the delete button. bravo, so enthralling.
(i realize i haven't used capital letters in this comment, i was lazy.)
Gabby,
I live on Tumblr.
Okay bye <3
