I'm Obsessed

Imagine Dragons "Radioactive" has me hooked.  Repeat all day.  Every. Day.  I don't understand it.  It may be the catchy hook. Or the electronic/pop/rock sound, all glorious together as one song, you can even dance to.

"Radioactive" has become my "I WILL BE VICTORIOUS" song.  You would never imagine the video includes puppets....


Boo Facebook

-Feeling annoyed

Over the course of a month, I've come to a conclusion.  I hate Facebook.  Day in and day out, I log in and for what?  Absolutely nothing.  I don't care how people are feeling or even care to read personal things on my news feed.  I admit, I was a personal poster, in the early days.  I've since stopped because going back and reading those statues I realized how pathetic and annoying I sounded. Just show me some insightful or funny shit. How about that job promotion you got? I'll "like" it.  I'm still trying to figure out what the purpose of Facebook is.  Reconnecting with old school mates, friends, exes and family?  Why?  So, you can just have them friended and still not talk to them?  Not to mention the fact that you can put friends on a restricted list or custom privacy where certain friends can't see your statuses, pictures, etc.  Yeah, that's so "friendly".  For bosses and maybe some family members, I get it.  Other than that, wouldn't it be easier to just defriend those people?  All it creates is drama and resentment between friends.  It will be the same case if you defriend someone. Facebook has created many ways for friends to be two-faced with other friends.  Sad, really.

I'm limiting my time on Facebook.  Checking facebook messages, invites and just posting things I find interesting that I know friends will find interesting and such.  Personal business is off the market, at this time.  No one cares, anyway.  So, it's better to say nothing at all.

And That Just Happened...Last Night

Just when I thought, someone I know(and was close with), telling me that I leave "bland" comments on their Facebook statuses, was insulting...someone I know(and wasn't so close with), asked if I was "expecting", last night.  In the span of a month, I probably lost about 10 pounds.  Not to mention, I wear a size 4, in pants.  Sure, I have big titties but they've always been there.  Nothing has changed.  Apparently, I wasn't wearing a flattering enough shirt and said "friend" thought I was pregnant.

I couldn't tell if he was just being an asshole/dick just to insult me (said person has flared up drama with me, before) or if he was dead serious.  All I know, is that one of my best friends politely jumped down his throat and owned him.  To say it was the ULTIMATE AWKWARD MOMENT would be an understatement.

No Forever Here

Nothing lasts forever. Sooner or later, everyone leaves you. If you're looking for forever, quit while you're ahead. Instead, enjoy the now and the precious moments you have with people.

I LOL'd Really Hard





It cracks me up. The lengths people go through, to forget you. I'm not even a bad person or the bad person in this whole scenario. I'M being the adult, through and through. Totally over it so I really don't give two fucking shits about said fuckface who decided to finally block me from Twitter, last night. *shrugs* Been over it for awhile, now. Karma. Watch out for it. Just interesting that I see this today and had a good fucking laugh.
