I've become completely addicted…

to Facebook. Have you tried this?

I mean, my alter ego has a MySpace page, but I’m really not a big fan of the whole atmosphere over there, so I rarely spend any time hanging out on the site. The most I do is get random emails from strippers who want to be my friend. Um, no. but thanks!

But Facebook. Dude! I joined mostly because my sister invited me and I thought it’d be a cool way to keep in touch… then I started playing around. I found friends from college, from university, even from high school. I haven’t really looked from elementary school, but I’m sure I will… I even made T get a profile. T, who completely doesn’t go near the computer ever. (I know. I live online… if you ever wondered if opposites really do attract, heh, yes, yes we do.)

And I’ve been spending wayyyyy too much time over there, searching through people’s profiles, joining groups, exchanging emails with old friends. Which, while much fun and very cool, is probably not so good as life is about to get very interesting in my world.

I’ve made a bit of a life-changing decision (well, I’m 99% sure I’m going through with it anyway), that’s going to completely overwhelm my life for the next four months. (No, I’m not pregnant. ) So I’m trying to get ahead of my projects so that I won’t get completely stressed out with the amount of work I’m taking on… I shouldn’t. I mean, I spent the past six months working insane hours, and I lived through that, this should be a walk in the park, but still, sleep is good.

But if you haven’t found Facebook, you should totally try it… Be like Mikey. He likes it!

Where to share

So, I’ve realized the problem with keeping a me blog and a pseudonym blog. I can’t tell the same stories on both blogs…

All this crazy stuff’s been happening in my world, and I went and wrote about it over there, and now I’m looking at this blog thinking, well, I can’t tell the same story again, cuz that would sorta kill the whole anonymous thing, but I’ve used up all my good stories, so over here, I got nothing…

Hm. I might have to rethink this whole secret identity thang…

Wherein the Grammar Geek proves she really is a geek

Ok, is it just me or is this the funniest thing ever? Dictionaraoke plays the hits of yesterday and today using audio clips from online dictionaries to sing.

Cuz there’s nothing like a monotone guy singing I’m. A. Barbie. Girl.

*sigh* I know, just nod and smile…

Ugh

It’s one of those days… I don’t know what it is about this weekend, but I went from months and months of hiding in my little house, barely poking my head up from my laptop, to five straight days of big elaborate nights out… and today, I feel like absolute crap.

Friday night, T and I went driving, looking for a restaurant that was open and would satisfy his desire for fish. We ended up at Hooters. Really. It wasn’t so bad, the food was good, and it wasn’t what I expected, and since we have so much trouble finding restaurants we both enjoy, I suspect we’ll be back. Tho, I may have to invest in a good push-up bra.

Saturday and Sunday, we did the big dinner at mom’s, mine, then his.

Monday and Tuesday were nights out with the girls. Last night, I totally indulged. We did appetizers, alcohol, and cheesecake, not to mention the best grilled chicken salad ever. But after several months of a superstrict diet, where I’ve been hardly eating anything, and certainly nothing indulgent, my body is really, really, really mad at me.

So today, I’m hiding. My plans for the day out of the house got cancelled, and the project I had to finish today is done and sent off, so the rest of the day is all mine. I may start a new project, it’s not like they’re not all out there vying for my attention, but I suspect I may not.

So what do you do when you’re faced with some unexpected free time? TV? A good book? Or do you just start a new project?
