Dear Aunty Lyla


I have an aunt that loves to blog. My family has a family website to stay in touch with everyone. This allows us to get close to each other and have follow-up in the family. On the family website the ages vary from 12 year olds to 60 year olds. The website was started by the younger generation in the family. Later the parents joined in and started to participate into the conversations. The website has grown and created good ties as well as bad ties. When the older generation had discovered the site they became so involved in the family page. When something becomes to overwhelming the natural thing is to leave and find a new "home." Some of the places that we as the younger generation have used besides this family page is myspace, facebook, bebo, etc. Every new place that is found you are able to find my Aunt Lyla. My Aunt Lyla is known for entrances and her ability to stay longer than what is wanted. She believes in the saying, "my casa is your casa." Aunt Lyla is the person that you try to avoid at the family reunions along with her children. She tends to give those hugs that leaves you nosiated because her intense smell of perfume. Many of you know that aunt either you have one or you have seen it on television. Even though she lives in North Carolina she is able to create that aroma on the web. Her blogs are filled with that scent of annoyance that could cause one to gag. I might be over reacting but seeing Aunt Lyla on every website blogging her life stories away makes me sick. It would not surprise me if Aunt Lyla was on this blog...yikes!

An interesting analysis of your Aunt's posting/commenting. I love your move to suggest that her perfumy self comes out in her use of language--very nice.

You might pursue this for your textual analysis. It could be a textual analysis/profile--how your aunt represents herself through text in the blogosphere or something like that.
