Facebook

I love to hate Facebook.

I love that it allows me to keep in touch with a lot of people I would not normally keep in touch with. And I'm so socially awkward anyway that it truly provides me 95% of my daily dose of human interaction.

But I really don't like it when people get political, and/or spam my walls with "repost if you agree.." updates.

There is a lighter side to it though, and that's getting to read some of the silly and hilarious posts that people come up with. There's a site that is dedicated to such goofiness- it's called failbook (which isn't entirely fitting, as some of the posts are filled with win).

For example:




And my own wall is subject to questionable fun as well:


And so you have it. My quest for off-the-wall comments and their originating posts have become the highlight of my facebooking. I guess I'll keep my account after all!

Girl pals

I kind of wish I had more girl buddies... I'd rather like to go handbag shopping with a few best friends and to sip tea and gossip while sitting on the porch... A few feminine sorts to tell me which pants look bad, and when not to wear pinstripes.

It's occurred to me that it's quite possible to be entirely happy with the love of your life... but having that one person does not solve the feeling of friendlessness.
