What has facebook done to live journal?!?
You know, I think I can pin point when I stopped posting frequently on live journal. And it's all facebook's fault! See, all of the creativity and time I took thinking of what I would post on livejournal has been encapsulated into thinking of what sentence I will put in my status bar today. I miss live journal. It was more personal. I took more time to write and talk to my friends. I posted poetry and writing without worrying that it would be stolen by corporate big time companies. I had a screen name. no agonizing over profile pictures. and it was more private! I could put a bunch of pictures in one story and picture post and I didn't have all these applications messing up my space. I could even change the backgrounds and comments line! I think that when I leave Peterborough and Trent University I will get rid of my facebook account and come back to live journal. So, you guys had better start reading again. I'm telling you...come back! I'll even start writing my choose your own adventure posts again!
Today I am in Toronto, getting ready to attend Niki's Hand fasting ceremony. I think it will be beautiful and I'm really happy for her. Unfortunately, I must admit that I get a little bit jealous of how good Niki and Jay are together and that they are getting married. I worry that I will never find that love and I haven't had a girlfriend for more than two weeks in about two years. I'm like waaaaaahhhhh! Where are all the caring, pretty women with great personalities that are willing to commit? I don't think they are in Ontario. There may be plenty of fish in the sea but last time I checked I live next to a kind of pretty but polluted river...not the ocean.
I am applying for a really fantastic looking job in Halifax. I would be acting as a liason between the 10 supervisors at different tourism offices across the province. I would get to organize and input lots of cool programs and get lots of experience. The job goes from May through to October and pays 18/hr. I applied last night and I really hope that I get it. I also really hope that I get my thesis finished on time. It's supposed to be done by the end of June at the latest. I have one chapter written and I'm working on another but I still have to do my interviews. If I get this job I would finish my writing while living in Halifax and then come back when I have to defend my thesis in August or September, just for a couple of days. When I graduate, I want to have a big kitchen party in Halifax or PEI, instead of the ceremony and diploma and stuff. I've already been to two of those and they weren't nearly as fun as a traditional ho-down. So, all of you should come down to Halifax in October for my graduation kitchen party!
Anyway, I miss you all horribly and I miss these detailed posts where I actually described what was going on in my life and what I was feeling and doing and enjoying. From this post forward, you can expect more live journal entries and less facebook updates. I hope that you all read and comment again.
Much love,
and, its Amanda, by the way. Not Lou.
