the trip with L here was good. actually, it was great. it’s always so wonderful to spend time with her. we really have so much in common. we had alot to do while we were here. we went out to dinner and drinks with M and some of his friends on friday night. ummm… yah…. i woke up at 4am to puke. good times. i’m sad she had to go back though. but even still, after spending 24hrs a day with anyone you’re kinda ready for a break after a few days. and i’ll see her in june when i come up to visit.
the weather here was perfect while she was here, 80’s from the time she got off the plane until it started raining yesterday morning (which is not supposed to stop until wednesday… boy do i love my wellies!). we spent time outside and had a good time. during one of our excursions we decided to turn on the AC but when we did, it was clear that it wasn’t working. i immediately called the shop and made an appointment for today. i just dropped my car off this morning and i got a call that it’s already ready to go. so that’s good. the only thing that sucks is that the new guy there doesn’t call me before he does any work. so now i have a couple hundred bucks to pay when i get there. not that i wouldn’t have had it fixed but i like to feel like i have some say.
anyway, i do have one question today… when did facebook become an acceptable replacement for conversation? S and i both recently reconnected with a girl we were good friends with in HS. her birthday was last week. she had no reason to believe i would send her anything, but i did. and all i got was a facebook message saying thanks. seriously? that’s crap. i’m kinda ticked about it because i think that’s rude. i would never just send someone a thank you over facebook or anything else, i wouldn’t even just send an email. you call people if you appreciate them. i personally either call or write a thank you card, but i know the latter is way beyond most people’s level of effort today.
can someone explain to me when an internet networking message began replacing a sincere conversation? and does this make me sound like an old lady??
~ today i learned… it’s believed that the term “whistle while you work” stems from masters of a house having their kitchen slaves whistle so as to ensure that they were not eating their food.~
