Bored tonight, I find myself searching through MySpace profiles yet again. This time I'm going over friends or rather people from high school. There's been a profile set up for people from my high school who graduated in 2000. As I peruse their profiles I realize how truly sad Port Orchard really is...
They got the multiply part right; but why hasn't anyone gone forth!?!
I'm not saying noone has gotten out; but a good 80% of the people I graduated with seem to either still be in Port Orchard or have ended up back in Port Orchard. Granted there is something to be said for living in a small town. But having said that why in the world would you want to just stay put? Why stay in a town of less than 8,000...keeping in mind that when we graduated our class was nearly 1,000!! The rest of the population in that town seems to be comprised of retired people.
Honestly, who am I to question people's choices? However, it still seems sad to be proud of the fact that you've got 2 kids and you're working at the local Wal-Mart and on your second marriage?!? UGH!
I am SO glad I got out of that black hole!
You ever spy on someone on MySpace? Go looking for that long lost love; or old friend? I do it probably too often. I think it's the voyeur in me. I'm curious to see how their lives are going. What's been going on, what hasn't. That sort of thing.
The other day I was snooping around and I came across an old flame. Pretty serious at one point. But just didn't work out in the end. I keep checking back to his page in the hopes that he'll update his pictures or write a new blog; but it just hasn't happened. There's no way on earth I would ever contact him directly. The consequences could be disastrous (mostly for him - I just don't like being called names). Of course this is probably just the melodrama in me. He's probably tell me to fuck off and die and then I'd leave him alone. Why can't he just update his damned life so I can get on with mine?
If you keep a MySpace page, be kind to all of us voyeur's out there and if you're not going to update your profile at least put up a notice. Cause it's really irritating when we can't read your blogs and look at new pics. and see who you're becoming friends with.
This year I've decided that I'm breaking from tradition and actually making resolutions. I don't usually do this for the simple fact that once you set a resolution in place people (myself especially) tend to do everything they can subconsciously to break that resolution. So, I'm setting them, but I'm setting the bar low.
1.) At the end of the day I am going to try to put all of my loose change into my big fat [empty] piggy bank. Hoping against hope that by the end of this new year I will have enough change to take into CoinStar and possibly buy all my Christmas presents with!
2.) I would like to start blogging again. And mostly blogging about what I'm making and crafting and what's going on with Emotional Baggage; but also what's important to me. Because, come on, it's my blog.
And a distant 3.) I would like to get the last 30lbs or so off. For the simple reason that it will get my neurologist off my back; and possibly get me off these nasty meds. Here's hopin' but I'm not placing it in the #1 spot because it's not the most important to me. Strange huh? Eh. Weight aint nuthin but a number baby! lol
So, here it is. And here I am. January 1st, and I'm off to a good start. I've put a bunch of change into my piggy bank and written a blog. I think this year is going to be good. If nothing else it will be interesting. Stick around and find out won't you?
