I'd have to say one of my favorite things about facebook (or any other nosy profile website) is being able to track people "through the ages". I am friends with my high school friends and college friends and family members, typical. But I'm also friends with my first best friend/ crush/ unofficial boyfriend, the kid I "married" one summer during elementary school because his sisters thought it would be cute, my preschool best friend/ partner in crime, and the couple of people I could consider "enemies". It's an interesting cyber world, but seriously, what did people do before it? How could you know that so-and-so is now engaged to so-and-so when they were just dating so-and-so last month? And how would you know that so-and-so is now a RA at this college and he's finally amounted to something in life? Or that so-and-so dropped out of college and will probably never go back or get married? Yes, quite the interesting world. Makes soap operas obsolete. I think it makes reality television obsolete, but many would beg to differ on that point. I won't get on my reality TV soap box right now, but... seriously, people? I mean, really? In my opinion it's a complete waste of time. But we are human. And we are made to disagree and argue. Where would the fun be in life if we all agreed all the time?
Anyways, I enjoy facebook. And I can't be labeled a stalked because you put the information on the internet yourself. I just happen to look at it. As a person who likes to keep old connections and likes to be "in the know"... it's perfect. I don't have to keep super close friendships with a lot of people, but I can still feel friendly. It's so hard keeping peoples addresses and phone numbers straight through college with different dorms or houses and when they move around after college as different jobs pop up. This is much easier. A fail safe. Well, most of the time.
Still no summer job. A lot of families I've emailed or called about nannying are waiting until June to start interviewing and hiring. I don't plan on having a nanny when I have children, but if I did I would want to have it all taken care of before school let out. Just my opinion. I had a job interview this week and am currently waiting to hear back. They said they'd let me know either way so all I can do is wait. I hate waiting though. I'd like this all to be taken care of so I can go on my mini vacation and come home ready to work. It would be nice to sit around and be lazy all summer... but not the best option. If all else fails I can always work at the mall somewhere. Or there are a ton of little shops in our area, but summer is a slow season in Lynchburg. I'm not super worried about it. I hope the call about my interview comes in today though.
On a slightly shallow note, my eyebrows are finally coming together nicely. Not literally together because that would be horrible. One of my eyebrows has been slightly higher than the other for quite awhile. I was careless once while plucking and have been stuck that way for at least a year if not longer. Others say they couldn't even tell, but it was horrible to me. I finally have lined up the bottoms of my brows. I'm just waiting for one side to grow in a few misplucked hairs and then all will be perfection. People say to just let them grow and grow and not to worry about it, but I have terribly natural brows. Maybe it's an Asian trait, but my brows don't stop growing around the arch or my brow bones. They keep going pretty much until my eyelashes. Not thickly, fairly sparsely, but there none of the less. They don't look thick but I don't like having random hairs everywhere. So yes, that is my physical accomplishment of the week.
I'm thinking about leaving Emily here over our vacation. I'd definitely have to find someone to take care of her while we're gone. At least check every couple of days to make sure she has food and water. I don't know if I'll actually be able to do it, but I'm thinking about it. She wouldn't see us everyday anyways since she'd be staying in a different house in Michigan than us. Ugh. Decisions decisions. I just remember my old kitty meowing funny when we were gone on extended trips. He would get depressed and lonely. It would make me so sad if Emily was like that. I left the room earlier today and she didn't know where I was (not a lie) so she went to the front door (which I had just shut before leaving the room) and meowed and meowed. I called her name and saw her shadow on the wall coming right away. She jumped on my lap, settled down, and purred. She gets so lonely even when I'm in the same house as her. I know, it's pathetic. We definitely baby our pets. When we get our German Shepherds some day it'll be so much worse! And then once babies come! Good grief!
Another hour and a half until Matthew comes home. The hospital is having a cookout today so we're going to that for dinner. Fun.
I think I'll go take a quick nap. I'm just trying to occupy my time as I wait for the phone to ring. I'm reading a Francine Rivers book my mom bought me. It's just not my style. This is my second book by her and I don't think I'll get any more. A lot of people like her but it's just not my style at all. Nope.
