things i never wanna do

-refer to my future husband as my "hubby"
-be referred to as a "wifey"
-post pictures of my future unborn child's sonogram on any public site, especially facebook. that stuff's been creeping me out lately. especially when they put the baby's name written in a scripty blue or pink font. eeks.

random rant. that's all.

cool work

the facebook website

i should have known this would happen. as soon as facebook was open to everyone, i should have known that all of my mom's friends (my mom could care less), my aunts and grandmother would join.

what am i supposed to do? decline the invitation to be their friend? it's not that i'm ashamed or wanting to hide anything going on within my profile. but i guess it's like going to a bar. would you want you grandmother to come?

ok, ok. there's days where i'd be cool with that. but now i'm thinking twice about calling my old roommate a tranny-saurus-rex. or posting an inappropriate video on my sister's wall. or declaring in my status that my family is driving me crazy. (all normal, expressive things)

i've considered creating a family-friendly profile. but c'mon--booooooo-ring...and annoying. why has it turned into this? why can't old people find their own social networking site? i know there's lots of them out there. but more importantly, why do i even care?

maybe this will push me to not go on facebook as often. or encourage me to write regular emails or letters to my friends. or delete my account all together.

i guess that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

omg my mom joined facebook!
too old for facebook?

barbie + ken = ?

i feel like i've been duped.

i feel like i bought into a fantasy that seems to be dwindling as each year passes. in my fantasy, women had jobs (gasp!), and they didn't stay home with the kids (gasp!), and they could get married if they wanted to, but not cause they felt like society was telling them to (gasp!), and when they punched a boy in the playground, it's cause the little shit deserved it. i never fantasized about my wedding. it just seemed silly to already know the details of a future engagement ring, the color and style of bridesmaid dresses, and the deal-breaking first dance. nevermind finding that ken.

i look at my friends..and even my friends' friends (thank you facebook), and it appears that i didn't share my fantasy with very many people. i don't judge those people--i want everyone to be their own version of happy. but..

am i jealous?
am i just changing my fantasy all together?
am i questioning all of this because i'm approaching the awesome age of 30?
am i curious about a life with one other person would be like?
or do i just want a puppy?

i know, they poop. everybody does.

i'm gonna blog as a means of avoiding work

hello world.

those internet inventors were so clever. i bet at this point every blog on the planet has written "hello world" at some point. in their (now our) defense, it makes sense. the whole world can read this nonsense. but for now, it's what i'm gonna say anytime i'm trying to act busy, and therefore unable to do work.

or wait...did al gore copyright that?

shoot.

hey!

white house meets mac

ummm...
i should run for office
