Youcam v. Real Cam

So I started making video diaries.  I don't necessarily update every single day or say much, but I still like doing it anyway.

The only issue I have with it is that I'm doing it on my laptop.  It's not so bad, but it slows down the internet for a while and it's kind of annoying.  So I was thinking of getting an actual video camera for my birthday next year.

But then I wouldn't be able to get a cell phone, which would suck because no one really checks email and I can't talk to my friends all that often.  I'm so alone . . . (TT^TT)

So what should I do?  Stick to Youcam (laptop camera) or stick out for a real camera?
