she returns...
My family has taken over my facebook world.
I thought it was a good idea at first...helped mom set up an account...she helped dad...it all helped me keep in touch while I'm in New Zealand.
Then my mom got her sisters and brothers to join...and dad got a couple of his cousins and friends...and before I knew it, they were getting into the same political and religious arguments that they usually get into via email. Usually, when they argue with their relatives, they tack me onto the emails because they want me to be "involved", which is fine because I can delete the emails...but it's a bit more in my face with facebook (ha...hence the name). And incidentally, by "they" I don't mean my mom...at all...infact, I love that mom's on Facebook. I love that dad is on facebook...when he isn't stirring the pot!
But that's how dad is...and to love him, you have to love that he is, shall we say, feisty.
Oh well...I guess it does bring me back to LiveJournal, which is a good thing. I've been neglectful. I do enjoy having an internet connection at home again. The last time I had internet access where I lived was in those brief couple of months I stayed with my parents before I left the states - September '08. Before that, I didn't have cable or internet at my apartment. I think it was good for me...found I had a lot more freetime. (she says as she has four windows open and Skype running...oh, and the tv on in the background!)
Random rambles...
So I finished most of the coding for the website I'm working on today. :) Once this is all finished up, I'm supposed to do a complete rehaul of this bee mascot they have. Pretty cool, though because they are definitely going to keep me on until June. I do desperately need to find permanent employment so that I can apply for residency...but having a contract job is better than having nothing (especially in today's economy).
I got a haircut today.
Ick....not wearing a bit of makeup...was sick yesterday, so I didn't even bother with it today...but the hair cut made me feel purty. :D
Alright...off to bed.
