I think my absence from this site can in some ways be attributed to my Facebook account. Over the last few years as my poor blog's been collecting dust, I've been posting almost daily statuses and pictures there. My friends, siblings, cousins, even in-laws are able to come and see what Evie and JT are up to and it just makes it so much easier to interact. I can post one thing and everyone in my family can see it at once. Alas, today, Facebook is down and now I must blog my daily nothing and I'm thinking how truly lonely it is to have to interact with the people I love this way. But I can't really go back, or at least, I don't think I can.
I've sort of grown addicted and used to the "like" button; that little thing that means absolutely nothing really. It could be the most inane thing in all the world, but if someone pressed "like" I see it and I feel like I made a connection somehow which translated into someone moving their hand, touching their mouse (or phone or whatever) and clicking "like". And oh god, now I sound like an attention whore....which, might be true?
Hurry and come back up Facebook! I want to post how [honglien123] "is bored" or [honglien123] "would tell everyone how Douglas Adams made 42 the best number in the goddamn universe when she turns 42...in 10 years or so" or how [honglien123] "was forced to BLOG because FB was down and the post made no sense whatsoever because she is SO out of practice. OMG the horror!"

I'm not sure what to do here. I keep looking for the like button, but can't find it. D'oh. Like.
LOL Thanks Superha!
Yeah, I am unclear where to draw my boundaries too. This digital social age of ours...
