People Underestimate the Value of a Good Ramble

Facebook/Twitter

Listen, I don't hate Facebook. I just happen to like Twitter more. I mean, like way, way, way more.

There are a variety of reasons why. For one thing, and this is a biggy, Facebook is more about pictures and Twitter is more about talking. I much prefer to talk than to have my picture taken.

Plus, Twitter is immediate and Facebook is more long term. I'm always in a hurry. I want things now. Hence, I prefer to have the immediate gratification of talking with people and having real-time interaction, rather than posting pictures (or rants) and waiting for a response. Especially cause then I have to go back and check for a responses.  As anyone who has ever posted a comment on this blog knows, I'm terrible about remembering to go back and check for comments. Terrible.

But I noticed something.

My Twitter friends - my mostly online not in actual real life friends - have, as a majority, basically the same political opinions. And when I say political, I mean as in relating specifically to governmental political issues, not social political issues. I think that makes sense. However, my Facebook friends (a combination of real life friends, old friends from days gone by, and online imaginary friends), seem to hold almost the exact opposite political opinions.

Weird.

Life and Stuff



Wow.

Remember me?

I used to blog here on a semi-regular basis about silly random stuff. Like TV shows and life.









Then I was busy being sick for a while and then summer came and I accidentally went outside and got a life. I didn't mean to.

All lit up at night







We've also been working on our back yard. It's looking amazing now, I think. We put in the stamped concrete patio, built up the ground all around it, enclosed that with stones, put in bushes (two fire bushes, two forsythia, two rose of sharon, three blueberries and a lilac), iron fencing with pretty white lights, and then put in a sliding glass door and steps out our back bedroom, which we painted a lovely golden color.

It's so beautiful in there, I'm ready to move my office over and move the bedroom into the other room. Like immediately, as in right this very minute.

Only I'm too lazy to do it myself.
