So yes, just a quick little note about this. Yes, I gave in to the cult brainwash and am on facebook. I am very ashamed of myself, but I refuse to invite people to be my friend or upload pictures of my special occasions (although you would never know with how much I've been tagged :-p) so I feel like I am still maintaining a bit of my intergrity.
Anywho, thats not really the point. The point is, I love msn/facebook names for several reasons. A) it is a very good way of keeping track of whats new and up to date in your friends/families lives without having to actively talk to them. B) because sometimes it allows you to entirely tell someone off or communicate how hurt you are or tell them how important they are to you etc. without, again, having to actively talk to them (and in case you are confronted by somebody you can always claim ignorance or call them paranoid if it was never an issue you wanted to confront in the first place). And finally C) because sometimes you get to read funny, clever, or just plain brilliant commentary, which you can subsequently steal and pawn off on others as your own :-p!!!!
Connected to point C) is the concept that sometimes somebody's name SOO speaks to you and your life and your personal situation at the time and you just weren't clever enough to come up with it yourself, or weren't insightful enough. I'm sure you wonder what exactly I am talking about. And yes, I am going to tell you. Ready? Ok, here it goes.
Well before I get to that I just wanted to talk about Obama for a moment---> LOL ok, ok, I'm kidding. Anyway, back to the point (have you noticed I like tangents and often fall into them?) one of my college professors, Heather, had a really good facebook name today, it was "Heather has had enough passive-aggressiveness for one day... We're supposed to be adults!!!". And I thought to myself "oh my, SO true!!". How often in our lives do we think that about others and situations? It seems like everyone is passive aggressive all the time, and we are consistently trying to decipher peoples actions and comments because of this. It can become quite exhausting.
I think my new goal for the next week is to see if, no matter what, under no circumstances can I breach this and be successful, I can avoid the use of passive aggressiveness as a tool against someone or to someone. To just be an adult, say what I mean and mean what I say, and be adult enough to confront what I think and feel head on and not be a punk about it. Seriously. I start today...I will let you know how my progress goes, but for now I am on a good track. Its been almost 2 minutes since I've made this resolve and still holding strong.
Ok, ok...I'm done boring you all for now, I guess all the blogginess has been building up and I had to expel some of it :-p
K, seriously, I'm done for the night. Have a great night...Good night and God-speed..hmmm...was that the saying? *shrugs* meh
Cheers
