Second entry

Holy crap! I've made it to the second entry!

I know, I know. It must be cheating if I've done it the same day as the first. I just have so much I want to say but I want to avoid the long, drawn-out, here's-my-life-in-a-messy-pile posting.

Previously I mentioned Facebook, and you could say the #1 social networking site is one prime reason that I am here writing today. It's ridiculous to think of, but I had one of those "Facebook relationship" days. You know, the one that starts out all hunky dory with you getting poked by your sweetheart. Then, without warning, you go to poke him/her back to realize they've changed their profile picture and you're no longer in it!

Ok, ok. Calm down. He's not mad. Wait, did I do something? What did I say to him? Do you think he's pissed? No, no. It's just Facebook. He doesn't think like that. He just changed his picture without thinking...


But why did he change it back to a picture from when before we met? Why did he select THAT picture when he couldn't stop raving about how much he loved that one of us from the wedding? Was he lying? Did he just want something from me? OMG OMG I MUST FIND OUT WHY HE CHANGED IT!!!


And thus you can see my reason for needing to blog. I literally went off the deep end in my mind in an almost high school like fashion. It was all about passing the note between desks and does he know I like him and what if he saw me in gym class and doesn't like me anymore. Ridiculous. I'm a grown woman with every confidence of where my relationship stands. Yet silly Facebook caused me to question my behavior, affections, and worth? Shame on you Facebook.

But really, shame on me. Just because Facebook showed up to connect me with old friends and help me feel famous (over 700 photos!) doesn't mean that real life is of no consequence. I spend days not checking Facebook and you know what I'm doing instead? Living in real life. I know we have our phones and iPads keeping us in, but I'm feeling the need to take steps out of that relationship. Facebook and I got pretty serious there for a minute. So now that I want my life back, I will cordially accept Facebook as my acquaintance (since it surely can't be trusted with my emotional health).

Ciao for now.
