So I've been hustling through my 2011 list of things "to do". Got through a lot...I'm now texting, blogging, gmailing, backing up my computer, scanning/copying/printing/faxing in wi-fi. All I need is an i-Pod with some ear plugs and to put on some skinny jeans with converse shoes, some layered shirts that don't match and I could pass as a teenager. (I don't look a day over 18 I'm sure. Okay, 19).
But really, the kicker is that I joined...dun da da daaaaa... Facebook. After all my ranting for the last couple years about it, I decided to swallow my pride, my opinions, my negativity, and give it a try. I've come to grips with the fact that there are people out there, especially "long lost friends" who I'm not going to find and get in touch with by any other means. So, after a few days I have to say its been interesting. Interesting especially when I start clicking on people's faces I recognize from many years ago and check out what they are up to in life. Then it puts me in a very reflective mood and I begin wondering, what's become of my life? I haven't had any earth-shattering impacts on this world, so far as I can tell. I'm thinking when others find me on facebook they're not running to the phone to call so-and-so to say "Remember that Kristi-chick- guess what she's up to!" (Which by the way, I have done already with a few people I've read up on!). It's just not big news to say, "She's married and has three lovely children!" Maybe I should liven things up on my facebook page and make posts that mention I know 7 languages, or will be appearing in concert in LA this weekend. Or that I've decided to reject all material belongings and live as the Amish. Yes, that would spark a few phone calls amongst the people I once knew - which is my goal, obviously.
But, oh well. They'll find me there, facebooking away with the rest of the people who got sucked in to the "now" too. It does feel good to be current.
Way to go! :) You aren't going to have anything else to work on for the rest of the year....Except for the splits! LOL You can do the splits while you are listening to your iPod while wearing you skinny jeans and texting your friends/updating Facebook. Ü In all seriousness, good job on the goals! That is awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou and Katie are BOTH making me laugh. Will you invite me over when you put on the teenager outfit and go to accomplish your final goal? (the splits) - I would like to take a photo of that and post it on facebook.
ReplyDeleteyou are hilarious and doing an incredible job getting current
ReplyDeletetoday someone asked me when i'll text

(and don't get too sucked in -- real relationships are MUCH better than virtual)
