tangent

THIS IS A MAJOR TANGENT FROM MY LAST BLOG SO I DECIDED TO MAKE A WHOLE NEW POST. and i just realized that that was in caps lock.
becuase i do not type correctly. i look at the key board while i type. when i had computers in 7th grade we had to play typing games and i cheated.

so this is where it started....
well actually i can always get away with lying on the internet. its kinda a new hobby of mine. like i really find joy in posting bogus status updates and stuff. i think people take myspace/facebook wayyyy to seriously. (and i know this might sound hypocritical coming from me, but im pretty over the whole thing.) like if you really care to know whats going on in someone's life you should ask. oh but wait, you cant ask people how they are doing because thats just a casual greeting. "hi how are you" "good how are you" is the normal exchange these days. and people really dont care what your answer is. i usually respond with "fine." and people ask "aw why fine?" like its just so unexpected to hear that.
i really hate whats happening. because when i ask my friends how they are doing or how their day was i really care about the answer. and it hurts when i get one word back.

another thing that stinks about our normal conversations is how often people say "i love you" why do we only have one word for love?
i love chipotle.
i love my family.
i love game show network.
i love God.
i love to blog.
i love water.
i love music.
i love making lists.

we should have more words.

im behind on blogging.

i agree rachel. i mean, there are different words for pasta, (spaghetti, ravioli, etc), but we can't have more than one word to describe something so important in our culture. man, the english language is stupid.

just to throw this out there, i really do care how people are when i ask them "how are you?" one of my biggest pet peeves is when i ask people and they answer and then they ask me but walk away before i get the chance to answer! lol.

And then there is the issue of why do people think that people are really being transparent when posting on the internet.... For example:
