Facebook is teh shizznit

It's just really been so cool to find friends from my distant and VERY distant past that I'd all but forgotten about. And yes, even a couple of family members who fell off the earth or so it seemed. This site actually makes a lot of sense to someone like me. Ahem, "someone like me": vagrant, homeless, wanderer, drifter, traveler, wayfarer. etc.

I would like to challenge anyone of you who finds the notion of a cyber social network to be cheesy and lame to offer me a simpler, more concise and straightforward means of keeping in touch with friends and family that span... 1... 2... 3... wait 4...NO, 5 CONTINENTS and I can't even count how many countries. My immediate family alone is situated in Seattle, San Francisco, Iceland, France, Switzerland, England, Australia, Zimbabwe. Tough to keep track!

So yeah, maybe if you never left the state you were born in. If you never had a friend with a different nationality than you. Perhaps I can see how very loser-ish you might be if your social life revolved around a website. But to the many who have left homes and family, by personal choice or perhaps by the actions of an evil dictatorial government [ie Robert Mugabe], this is just a means to share with friends and loved ones, a relationship that might have otherwise been lost.

If you don't make an effort to keep up with friends - and talking only when you need something doesn't count - then it all just fades away. It really does. But you know, I have also come to learn that in time it doesn't matter how good a friend you thought you had, or how well you thought you knew a person. The only ones who will be there for you through thick and thin all the way till the end is your family. Nobody else gives a real shit anyway.

I can has facebook?

Facebook... I has it!

After a year in therapy, my psychiatrist said to me, 'Maybe life isn't for everyone.'

The weather has been unusually cool lately. I thought we were supposed to be freaking out about global warming... I'm almost saying bring on pollution and toxins - if it's gonna help make my summer comfortable, bring it on! =) ..... pause..... NOT! Or maybe ... *ponders*... why not!?.... ok .... NOT! lol. Alrighty, moving along.

The B-Meister got a promotion and last night we celebrated at the lovely Tapa the World here in midtown. (pics were taken which I will post at my most nextest convenience) I love that place, it's all traditional Spanish cuisine and tasty goodness. I actually managed to make it a bit of a surprise celebration and called all his friends without him knowing to meet us there at 6:30 - success! He was uber touched and we all had that same feeling you get when looking at cuteoverload.com. So yes, I think I scored some brownie points as all his feeling touched led to me being touched and since we both were busy feeling so touched we figured, hey maybe we should be touching! HA! That was a good one! :)

Hallelujah!

Tickets bought and arrangements made for the visiting of BEAUTIFUL San Diego

Townhouse


There's a new-old divey club-bar-thing that just resurrected from the ashes of a very dead Sacramento night life scene called Townhouse. Let some Friday night debauchery begin.




I'm so ladylike and charming =)
