Grrr!

I have had a slightly lame love life since...well pretty much forever. Other than the random guy that comes along that thinks he has a chance (I don't say this to be mean, but the maturity thing is just never there). Now I have a bigger dilemma. Here are the types of guys that have decided to fall under my spell:

• Chase- Chase was my friend that was going to school to become a Catholic priest. He went from safe and comfortable to single in about 2.2. This has left me pissed off because I no longer have a safe best friend that is male. He decided that he likes me instead which throws off our whole relationship.
• Troy- One of my brother's friends. After much debate Troy decided that he'll stop being friends with my brother in order to date me. (I tried the whole "I can't date my brother's friends, it just gets messy" routine. Wow, what a sacrifice.)
• Carson- Guy I work with that just graduated high school. Fun kid, but much too young. I told him that I'm tired of my guy friends falling for me, so now instead of saying he loves me, he says he hates me. I took Psychology 101, and I understand reverse psychology when I see it.

Maybe my move will help get me away from man-drama. LOL Wishful thinking I'm sure.

Just call me old skool

I have a love-hate relationship with technology. It’s mostly love, but sometimes I feel exhausted by the sheer amount of information I’m exposed to everyday. Since I’m in the communications field, I’m expected to know the ins and outs of the latest web use stats and YouTube videos and iWant gadgets and Facebook applications (which have seemed to multiply 1,000-fold in the last six weeks. Don’t be surprised if Yahoo or Google buys Facebook soon.)

I can’t keep up with the sheer amount of information out there. Some days I want to pull the trigger and delete my Facebook page, or at least pare down my profile information. Who the hell cares that I like Van Wilder and listen to Cake? Yet I posted like 50 photos this week … this is the love/hate/fascination/annoyance of social networking junk. Ironic, isn’t it, that I’m posting this on a blog. :)

I have to draw the line somewhere, though.

1) I don’t use the camera on my cell phone. I’m a high-res photo snob; I see no point in taking pictures that are useless because they’re grainy and poorly lit.
2) I still use a day planner made from (gasp!) paper. I’ve experimented with Google calendar, Yahoo! calendar, iCal, and the Blackberry that Andy stopped using three years ago. They do nothing for me. I get a great amount of pleasure from doodling, highlighting, and firmly pressing a black line through the finished items on my to-do list.
3) I don’t browse YouTube. I go there only when someone points out something interesting to watch.
4) I had a MySpace profile for about three weeks. I have no desire to re-join.
5) I have an e-mail Sabbath, usually on Saturday.

I like this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK6X78SFi30 The clip starts getting exciting at 1:15
