so i have been feeling really weird about blogging lately. sometimes i feel like technology is ruining real human relationships.
how often do we pick up the phone and call people nowadays? instead, we cyber stalk, follow people's facebook and twitter, and read their blogs to find out what is going on with them.
this makes me feel so uncomfortable. i guess because i automatically deem all people sketchy and it seems like all of this tech stuff enables people to have such a "pretty" display of who they are, without really getting to know them.
im going back to the old days of person to person contact.
ok, and i do like to text when i am bored.
i chose to keep this blog because it has so much to do with my life the last 4 years. most of my closest friends blog here, and i like knowing that i can get opinions and updates on people's lives, and it feels special because it is unique and small and community like.
i deleted my facebook. i found myself disliking it more and more, and rarely using it. most of my "friends" there are not real friends, so why do they need to know about me? plus facebook keeps changing and i find it annoying.
i don't really care what people are up to... and don't care to post what i am up to. if i do care, i will call you, or come see you.
that being said, i am going to try and blog more often here this summer!
the weather here has been absolutely amazing and i am looking forward to lots of pool time!
for mother's day, i am surprising my mom and taking her to the exhibit at the botanical gardens here they are having a chihuly show.
it should be pretty cool, and then we are going to some new mexican place she read about. would have celebrated last sunday but we both worked and technically i bought her breakfast and lunch that day, so she is spoiled but she is the best and most fav person of mine so she deserves it!
see ya later peeps!

too tiredso, my friend wants me to go out tonight to console this girl who is broken-hearted. you know me, i love any excuse to get dressed up and have fun.
but, working every weekend takes its toll on me, especially with how insane work has been. i had three exams this week and then two next week, my first on monday at 730 am.
although i am doing well in the class, i feel like the next two days will be zero fun and actually miserable for just a few hours of glamour.
lately i feel like i am always making social plans and then breaking them, but sleep is so much more important than it used to be.
plus, alcohol only makes me sick now when i drink it. this development started a while ago, and it seems that even just one glass of wine gives me a massive headache, and then i get tired and fall asleep.
i still like to go out, i just "pretend" that i am drinking.
i don't know, am i supposed to suck it up and go out and be tired because i am young and fun?
plus tomorrow is mothers day, and even though i have to work, so does my momma and even though we will both be at work, i don't want to be tired and cranky.
my legs hurt, and my back, and my neck, because the chairs at work are absolute crap, and i actually spend most of my time on my feet, and i need new sneakers with arch support.
i think this turned into one giant complaint.
did you know that there is somewhere between 5 and 30 million species of plants and animals? we only know of 10% of these and by the next century 50% will be extinct. this makes me sick, and i am an environmental glutton, which is more sick.
i am going to eat dinner... with meat involved which is also bad for the environment.

Well god I hope I'm not the oldest, but I am now 33 and 5 days old...
And I hear ya... going out is exhausting. Fun, but exhausting.
I have recently started the fake-drinking too.
Because if you don't drink at all, people look at you weird and give you a hard time. But if you have a club soda or something in your hand, no one cares.
I started really for calorie reasons, but now I've realized that I like it better this way. Have a couple drinks, enough to be a little buzzed and have fun, but not enough to be retarded drunk- and then there's the added bonus that you aren't hungover til 5pm the next day.
And a lot of my friends have stopped calling me to go out, because I always say I will, but then when it gets to be like 10 and they still haven't called yet to tell me where we're going, I fall asleep on the couch and then don't go out.
I like to blame it on working 80h/wk, but... maybe i'm just old. ;)

And then imagine how I feel being the oldest of everyone.
Ok I can't believe I just admitted that.
Now someone else needs to comment who is older than 32.

never underestimatethe importance of true friends.
not just the people who are there for the fun times, but the ones who will be by your side for the most difficult moments.
i am really lucky to have friends like this. as the years go by, i am realizing how much more valuable it is to have a small group of really dependable people around.

rude tudeI need to go to attitude rehab because I'm so negative and sarcastic and judgemental and I wish to be sweet and happy go lucky.

Why?
Why?
(e:libertad) I'm not sure If I even knew you had a facebook still new at it so....
(e:lilho) you make a good point about calling people. But the thing that I have found is a lot of people don't like to talk on the phone, that is me. Or when they do talk on the phone it is hours and hours that they don't have the time for. I think that is why social networking sites have really taken off. You can get the update on someone and get the general thing with out talking for an hour. You can also do something on line and then see if anyone updated. I Like the websites I use to not change to much. I like how face book was, then it changed recently and then they had some voting thing I didn't get and it kinda changed again.
(e:lilho) did you miss mother's day? I hate facebook. It totally freaks me out. I gotta delete my account because I don't want to accept any friends at all and people are mad cause I don't accept them.
How many Sundays in May are mother's days?
