I like TV.

I like to buy journals or notebooks for no reason at all. I usually fill them with stuff..

. I like books. I can read for hours.

I like spending time with my fam.

I like my friends but most live far, far away.

I like the color pink...

I like acting like a kid sometimes. Not dumb or anything but just being silly and laughing at simple things. I think that being a grown up makes you kinda uptight.

I like guys that are modest or Christians and that are respectful and intelligent and deep.

I like to travel. It's nice to get away from the real world for a bit.

I like meeting new people.

I like to write. Poems, stories, crap like that. I'm always thinking about something I can pen that may be worthy of attention some day.

I like being unique and meeting other unique people.

I like the university I attend. It's the best! (Go Coogs!)

I think that's all for now but it's what was on my mind... Laters.

So, yea, back on facebook. Sucks. By the demand of my loving fam and friends, I signed back in and became a part of the facebook community all over again. I'm not as addicted as before but eh, I guess I can enjoy the things the website offers.

The thing that matters most to me is family. I signed back on to facebook for the birthday comments and all of that. It was pretty nice getting birthday attention. My older sister wished me a happy birthday and I was VERY happy about that. We don't see a lot of each other so that means a lot to me.

My uncle and my younger cousin took me and my brother out for my birthday which I enjoyed. A LOT! Best birthday ever. I'm mostly happy about that because I got to spend time with them. Me and my younger cousin had words when my grandmother was sick and going in and out of nursing homes and care homes. Of course I apologized. I love her like a sister and for a while, she was at my house more than I was growing up. So, she was the brat sister. Anyway, I feel that things are becoming normal again. Getting to spend time with everyone with no tension and anger flying through the air is amazing and it feels great. I do miss my grandma, who was the glue that bonded us together. I know she's be happy to see everyone getting along so great again.

I wrote a poem for her when she passed away. I'll maybe post it some time this week. I also wrote a story loosely based on stories my mom told me. She was great. I truly admire her and the long, interesting life she lived. RIP Grandma.

I plan to take this and move it later. But I have decided to stop using facebook. I plan to blog about the experience. Yay. Fun.

For quite some time, I've been observing the way people- including myself- use social networks. You know, the amount of time, the different reasons, the different ways that we use it. It's a cool place to keep in contact or spy on your friends, it's a cool place to post your pics in an album for everyone to see, it's a cool place to even meet friends of friends, it's a cool place to share links and crap you like, it's a cool place to update your status as if people really gave a durn about what you were doing. Yay. Fun.

Facebook is one of my favorites and I noticed I checked it through out the day. That would be probably once every 1 to 3 hours. I also realized I was checking on nothing. I do like that I can see pics of my lovely 2 month old niece who lives way the heck in Kansas and that I can chit chat with a lot of friends but do I really need it outside of those reasons? I have began playing Mafia Wars because my brother- also an avid facebook user- convinced me to do so. That was about a few weeks ago. When I began playing, I checked the site more frequently. Way more frequently!

I convinced my sister to join the social network which is cool because we can keep in contact a bit better. If she wanted to know what's up with me, she can check facebook or contact me on the little instant chat thing they have now. My ex, who is also one of my good friends, also uses facebook and we are always showing each other links. Fun times.

With those perks that I can name on the top of my head, I do have many complaints. Like where's the privacy? Where's the disconnect from time to time? Of course, I can just delete my account for a while, but they know good and well I will want to come back! They also have all these applications now which makes it so addictive. Not good. I wonder if this is interfering with people's studying. It doesn't with mine but I'm sure there are people who are VERY addicted to the site and wind up missing class or something because of all the crap they see on facebook.

I guess in all, I just don't like social networks but I LOVE them and can't function daily with out checking on it. I will give it up for a while...or indefinitely and see how that goes. Will my life be better? Will I find another way to occupy my time. I have no idea. But I'll see.

So far, I have nothing better to do than blog and talk to friends. That's all I am doing presently and also getting ready for bed. Yes! Lol. I do feel a desire to check facebook but I'm fighting the urge. That also makes me want to not use my high speed wireless internet. There's always youtube I guess... I can also spend my time making my xanga look better...if only I knew how.
