Sober

Hello!
I feel chatty...so lets chat, this way I can avoid work and homeowork all at the same time

Annie and I are offically volunteers at the humane society!!! I am loving it!!! The kitties are all so cute!!! I'm going to start taking pictures if they let me. Sadly (becuase of people like me :D) there is a 30 day waiting period for volunteers to adopt. There is already one cat that I'm eyeing up. His name is Birch (which I am sooo changing) but he's a orange tabby, he's over a year old but he's got spunk! As soon as I opened up the cage he climbed on to me (he's not declawed) as if he was giving me a big hug! He was a climber though and was all over me in seconds (and he wasn't letting go) but what a loverboy! He just kept on purring and rubbing his face on mine and "hugging" me! I feel so bad because the cats aren't allowed on the floor (to keep illnesses from spreading) but there isn't really any counter space for them to play or run around on. I feel like lots of the cats that are all over the place just really need to run around for bit then they'll calm down. I wonder if instead of fostering kitties they would let me and Annie take home cats so they could have some running space for a bit. I've already got some "project cats" too as I call them. One is Dory a sweet grey cat, she wants be loved but when I opened her cage to take her out she seemed scared so I just kept petting her in her cage, I found out she doesn't like to be pet on the head (she'll duck and run if you try) but if she gets comfortable enough she just loves it when you pet her tummy! I put her to sleep! There are other cats that are like that too, oh I just want to help them all! I love doing this, I love helping out pets! I wonder if I stay up here this summer if I could get a job at the humane society!

well on another note
I read Danielle's blog today as she pointed another blog that she read about someone being "facebook sober" and her quite new feelings about facebook. I have been facebook sober for almost two years and I agree that I feel so much better. I'll admit the facebook concept wasn't bad, to keep high school friends in touch during college not a bad idea, in an ideal world where people aren't idiots. Sadly, our world is not such a place. The whole internet social network seems like a good idea but people are self-involved nosy nellies (me included mind you) now I'm not saying everyone is always "look at me Look at me" but I realized that only during the facebook and myspace years of my life did I take hundreds and hundreds of pictures of myself to post for everyone to see and comment. The other girl who talked about this mentioned that people get way to personal on facebook and I agree, worst is the more you know the more you WANT to know. Say if I was on facebook and I saw someone who I may not be close to talk about how sad they were I would probably be more compelled to keep checking there page to find out why despite the fact that it is none of my business. More interesting is that slowly (very slowly) more and more people are feeling uncomfortable (and even guilty) going on facebook. In fashion we learn that when a new trend comes out few people have it and everyone wants it, slowly the trend will trickle down to the masses and the market will be saturated with the trend (at this point the trendy stop wearing it) eventually the trend passes and something new enters. I predict that facebook is starting to expeirence this. Myspace is practically nonexistant now because it became staturated and facebook came along. For a while now facebook has saturated the world making more add-on thingys and expanding and what not, but people are starting to get bored (and weirded out it seems) by these personal web pages that people make waaaay to personal. With all the technology that pushes us forward are people finally seeing that webpages don't bring happiness? (ok maybe briefly they do) I still stand by that if a friend is close enough to me they will find other ways to contact me (which all of my dear friends do) I don't need false friends telling me happy birthday and I really don't need to be so self-aware of how the world sees me. I choose not to play the social game. I hope that the more people speak out about being facebook sober the more other people will listen. Now I'm not going to tell you facebook is evil, as I already said the concept was good, it's people that ruin it. If you love facebook by all means keep using it, screw actually calling people, going out and having face to face contact, who needs that anymore? Sit infront of your computer put off homework, don't pay attention in class (after paying thousands of dollars to be there why would you?)! Facebook isn't evil but don't let yourself get sucked into a world that doesn't exist, remember fresh air? Go out and get some! Go for walks, read a book, do something! Trust me I do not disinclude myself in this group. I need to shut the computer as much as everybody else. But I've been facebook sober for alomst 2 years, what about you?
