who knew when my roommate so graciously created a facebook account for myself that she was doing me a favor. Yes, I resisted at first, then occasionally used it to send messages or receive them...then it happened...the way I swore it never would. I became a full-out facebook user. Hey, they say admitting it is the first step, well I'm way past that as I fully appreciate all it has to offer. Granted I have not, nor will I delve into the ten thousand new avenues of facebook such as the movie reviews, top ten friends, and all that jazz, why, who has time for that nonsense? Not me, not with gross breathing down my neck (by the way test Monday) and gesr right behind that (by the way test on wednesday) and did I mention a class where we learn all the theories of...who knows what...movement I spose, the way the world revolves, how to apply that to our lives (confused, me too, but by the way test on that next Monday). Point proven...time? No.
Anywho, where was I...oh yes...facebook, I really like and almost wouldn't know how to handle myself if the sharing pictures was not an option. Let's confess, shall we that the past two years I, myself have not used a camera; yet, I am able to gather copious amounts of photographs captured by friends around the world...oh yes, world and then compile them into one of my favorite forms called a scrapbook. So thank you to all you who do own a digital camera and so willingly post picts on facebook or use another fascinating facet called email to share with those who are as I would classify myself-a picture smooch (and yes I just had spell-check tell me the correct way to spell smooch...who knew!)
So, I'm definitely feelin the facebook love and it helps all the more with us date challenged people who don't remember birthdays for the life of us. I mean, what could be more awesome?!? It tells you whose b-day is coming up so you can in turn let them feel the facebook love and send a little wall post (which for those of you not facebook savy, is a message one and all can read if they look at your profile). I mean, sure I recognize the fact that hardly anyone remembers my b-day, but once facebook tells them it's my b-day and they post on my wall...who cares if you never talk to them anymore, or the only time you see them is through a pic online...it makes you feel special...b/c they took the ten seconds to give a shout out to me...on my birthday...and that's special. Not as special as feeding the starving kids in Asia...but special:)
And I preface that with how much more I do feel the love from the personal phone calls and truly time committed friends who put in the effort and have a sustained friendship with yours truly(...but I'm enjoying the satire on facebook at the moment, so consider it as such.)
In related news...or more to come later maybe...Dori will go on and on about the tragedy of having such a truly remarkably conditioned body that once it's in a rhythm, possibly circadian rhythm, it wakes up so early on Sunday mornings that by this time she has had God time, finished the movie she fell asleep to last night, cleaned up the place a bit, and gotten ready for church...tragedy, true tragedy. Whatever happened to sleeping in...oh that's right now sleeping in is 7 or 7:30...so sad
