Wow, it's been so long since I've posted anything here! And I honestly can't remember where I've left off! So let's recap in little useless bits: - Work. Sometimes it drives me crazy with frustration and worry, other times it's the thing that keeps me sane. I'm glad Sap is back from her trip because it's really fun to have her around. And I'm glad the FSC is still holding on together, although we haven't had any food outings in awhile, but hey, this is our 'detox' period! Sometimes I wonder if I'm spending too much time with my colleagues, because hanging out with co-workers after work is quite new to me, since in previous jobs I'd rather hang out with friends, or my colleagues needed to go home asap to prepare dinner for their families, that sort of thing. Alot of times, the popular thought that 'colleagues can never be your friends' kind of stings. Sometimes, I can totally understand why. Other times, it's detrimental to your need for building meaningful relationships with other people. - Non-work. Being busy with things, like birthdays, get-togethers, and meetings and whatnots. - I really REALLY don't like it when people use 'whatever' on me. Like, what's up your ass. - I think I'm spending a relatively unhealthy amount of time on the internet. And placing an unhealthy amount of expectations and importance on things that go on in the internet. It's a fine tool to keep in touch and whatnots, but I guess nothing can replace the physicality of communication. There's alot to be said about using technology to help or enhance communication and relationship-building with people, and whilst I'm a firm believer that the internet can NEVER replace a good talk over coffee, I find myself suckered into having long-drawn melodramatic dialogues over MSN that mean more than they should. That's not to say that MSN-conversations are meaningless (hey don't go, I still want to talk to you online!!). But I guess it makes me a little wary about how much importance I place on things like this. I'm uncomfortable with the instant perceived closeness that MSN brings, because it forces a one-on-one dialogue that takes out the vital elements of an actual conversation, while introducing new elements like the boldness of faceless communication, and easily misconstrued signals like a seemingly affectionate statement or a nonchalent one-word reply. Yet at times, it's really all that's left for some, and it frustrates me to no end that I have to sieve out the meaningful from the meaningless of all this. Bing! at 10:40 AM | | Blogroll Me!

I think that our relationships with the internet can be compared to trying to make a silk purse out of a pig's ear. It's not ideal or even reasonable, it's just what's left. That's how I have been feeling about everything anyway.

I like to put things into
words and then see them string up and let people laugh at them like it's
confetti. Chocolate makes my day and I love trees and rivers and this
makes me seem quite the idiot but really, I'm a silly billy.
