okay so just because i live in the sunroom, which is right near the front door, doesn’t mean I should have to answer the door each time somebody’s boyfriend shows up. granted i love all the people who usually step foot in this house, to death, but sometimes i am cranky and in bed, on my computer, writing, and obsessing on the internet, or doing anything, really, other than answering the door, and i don’t want to answer the door. i guess i feel like if people know boyfriend will come over they should come unlock the damn thing if they’re going to be snookered away in parts of the house where they can’t hear a person knock (which is all of the time), or just figure it out. it’s not my job to do the logistics. i just don’t want to play doorman. of course, i could just sit here, not answering the door, but i don’t have it within my heart to let johnny shiver outside because i don’t feel like getting up. (i might be lazy, but i don’t want to feel like it.)
also i am addicted to facebook. i thought that phase was over with but it seems that when i need most to be maximizing my productivity i find myself refreshing my friends page in hopes of interesting updates. which almost never show up, because most people put what they actually are doing, like “…is baking cookies, and so excited to see SO AND SO this weekend!” honestly that is boring crap. i wish there was a facebook that only allowed for really interesting updates. like only book quotes for updates. or music quotes. or youtube links, or links to blogs. that’s what we need. a Blogface or a Quotebook. that way, we could still connect with people we [barely] knew, but it wouldn’t be so creepy because there would be something interesting right there–we wouldn’t have to go through all that work of digging through their photos or their wall history to find something intriguing and worthwhile. call me a stalker if you please, i’m just telling it how it is.
email is no better, but at least it’s more egalitarian.
hopefully the next post won’t be about the internet.
in other news, i received my new and improved digital camera today. it is made by samsung, my favorite small electronics producer as of late, and it is pink. and it doesn’t overexpose every picture. so hopefully there will be many picture posts to come so that you, my lucky little blog-watchers, can have something more interesting to parooze that doesn’t take so long to enjoy (or not enjoy).
here’s to hoping it’s not too cold yet this week so our little selves doesn’t freeze; here’s hoping it’s not icy so we don’t slip and fall on our selves. and here’s to obsessing, endlessly, obsessively, about people close but so far away.

ps: the mention of “blog-watchers” was intended to be ironic, since i’m pretty sure nobody reads this.
