On Ditching Facebook

 It's been more than a month since I dropped the ol' Facebook Account.
ME: Hmph, interesting, I don't even miss it. 
T: Yea, it makes me think about all the time I did spend on it when I did have one. Investing time in something that I would not even care about if I never had one.
ME: That's gross. Although, I would love to Facebook stalk my Pole Dancing teacher. I guess I'll have to settle on stalking her in real life at class. (shrug)

You look cute in any hat, so don’t worry) -Gloves (the ones you stole from Seattle will work fine) -Coat (the snowboarding coat I bought for you or something similar that will cut the wind) -Scarf (a heavy one, if you have it.

Quote of my day...

You can’t apply the same paradigm to others that you use for yourself. It’s not an issue of what points are on the board. Other people play a different game, on a different field, with different goals. You don’t know anything about people that are even slightly different from yourself. -TD (my love and clearly my sanity)
