Absentino

Well, will you just look at that? Weeks and weeks have passed by and there has been nary a post in sight.

I would have been almightily booted from my guild if I indulged in such behaviour in my alternate WoW life. Lucky they don't know who I am.

If only I had that same arrangement with Facebook [muttering].

Still, it's been quite a busy time.

Really.

I've been doing a mosaic course and some house rearrangements, getting prepped for Christmas and voting. I think voting was the last straw. Honestly. I just can't get pumped up about politics. I fear I suffer from the whole "we live in a really safe electorate, it doesn't matter what I do" apathy. Not to mention the fact that all the political ads make me want to punish the television in cruel and unusual ways...

"I will stick with Facebook for the long haul" EEERGH!!
"I won't" DIIIING!!

All I can say is thank goodness the great democratic shenanigans are over and we can all get back to focusing on the pov, non-ratings season melodramas that are about to hit our little screens. Oh boy!

Aaanyway, I've just been rummaging through some of our historical holiday pics in a pathetic attempt to find an acceptable Facebook profile photo, and I've been thinking how terribly slack I am at doing anything with all those happy snaps. I mean I realise that if I was so inclined I could, say, post them on Facebook. But let's face it - I'm not so inclined. So what can I do?

Perhaps I will simply post an unrelated holiday image to each of my posts from now on. I could even add some thoughtful, little-known, and possibly invented tidbit about the location of choice as a clincher.

For example, did you know that this castle is the home of my prehistoric, leprechaunian relatives? They used to sit atop it hurling tiny potatoes and large insults at the insolent lamppost. Ahhh, good times.

Facebook - Work of the Devil

What am I thinking?

Last time, I could only handle Facebook for about three days. So why oh why am I back on the FB horse?? :S

You are spot on in thinking that it would have to be something pretty darn special for me to take this leap of faith again. And it is.

A very good friend of mine in Melbs has just had a no-doubt gorgeous, talented, baby boy with mad skills far beyond his years (or days), and guess where the photos are being posted...

So, I find myself, once again, a slave to the online plague that is Facebook. What shall I do? Poke someone? Admire all those cities I've travelled to?

Nah, I think I'll just keep posting on this blog and import it! (Who does Facebook work for, uh?)
