Nothing is as frustrating as missing your guy with 8 minutes just because your internet is being crappy.

 

David Cassidy is 60. Jeez, I feel old.

But a 60-year-old man getting drunk in Florida has got to be a pretty common occurrence. I mean, I've been to Florida and I got drunk, and I'm more than ten years shy of 60.

 

I once missed my girl because of 45 seconds.

 

Aw man, that must have sucked!

But I'm lucky, I'm talking to him now.

 

I am glad you are ^^

In my case I never wanted to rewind time so much.

 

Oh, Facebook...

One of Joel's friends from high school (read: friend who is on his facebook but whom he never talks to) just sent me a friend request. I've never talked to this person...never met him...I don't think I've ever even heard Joel tell stories about him...but hey, he knew my husband like six years ago, so I have a feeling we're going to become fast friends.

 

Yeah I don't get FB friending processes either... I don't care if you're a friend of a friend; if I've never met you, you're not my friend and you're not getting added.

Though I haven't actually had that problem for a while...

 

It's an insidious wording. The unwary and non-net-savvy are inclined to thing that a refusal to befriend everyone who asks means they are antisocial, when in fact it is just good security not to give increased access to anyone who asks.

Admittedly, on this site I will grant nearly anyone friend status if they ask, if they have at least posted a few times and aren't blatantly misbehaving. But I alsi am careful about what I reveal of myself anyway, and none of my personal info is MORE visible to friends and and contacts.

 

Facebook. I have approximately forty-seven pending friend requests from people I either dont know or dont like, and I regularly expunge people who annoy or who have lost touch with me.

The whole point of Facebook is to catch up with people you know, and if you've got a 1200 friends who you dont know, what's the point of it?

Especially if you only log on once a day. To me, that still seems pretty often, but I swear, I've seen people in class who will check Facebook every fifteen minutes during lectures; I swear there needs to be an FB Anonymous program... Technology rocks, but it shouldnt be anyone's life!

 

...I see exactly what your saying, your saying you like a cleaner burning fuel

 

Agreed. All you all know is that I'm John, 21 and from Alabama. That's it. I might tell you about my pets, and that I'm in college, but that's the extent I'll go. As much as I like you all, I'm not going to tell you exactly where I live.

I'm also banking on the idea that I'm not the only 21-year-old man and/or has the name John that lives in Alabama.

 

Yes, there are at least two or three others.

 

Ahhhhh, daylight savings time tomorrow? God, why did we move out of Arizona?

 

We did that last week already.

 

Really? Everyone at work is telling me that ours is tomorrow...but then everyone was saying that as it got closer, you would hear more about it, and I haven't heard anything. God, daylight savings time, you are the new bane of my existence...

 

I'm drinking hot tea out of a coffee cup that says "The Elephant House- Birthplace of Harry Potter". Almost makes me want to start writing a story.

Harry Potter inspired me to write a story back when I read the third book in 2000.

But sadly, I have a cold. Well...maybe I can still write it despite the fact that I have a runny nose and a stuffy head.

 

^Get chicken soup or something.

 

Lemsip! *sends a sachet*

Mind you, that stuff makes me loopy, so... I would swear by it.

 

I agree on that. I think that the point of social sites is not honesty, because people start adding each other based on random things. It is not like anyone would walk down the street asking everybody to be their friends.

A friend of mine once made an experience. He put on his FB profile a text exactly like this:

In 12 hours he received 750 messages and 150 friend requests.

 

Er, what exactly did he do to get all that attention, aside from put up that message?

 

Absolutely nothing, he logs on his FB account only once per week.

 

That's really weird. If I did that with a new account I'm sure no one would even know I was there. :?

 

Maybe he was just lucky.

 

Tomorrow I do the unsavory and unethical (in these times anyway) thing by giving my notice slip of November 28th.

I'm wondering if it's weird that I'm hoping he'll apologize and want to work things out. I'm also stressing because, while I have a roof over my head safely and need not worry about food, clothing and the like, I'm wondering if I can find another job.

Yikes.

 

Best of luck with that Lilix. I need to do similarly and secure something that pays better, but damn if it's not hard to find these days (plus school always throws a monkey wrench in things)
