Here comes 2008!

Well 2007 has been a very very busy and eventful year. It has had a lot of milestones and changes for me... and all I can say is thank god its over - despite being generally happy with how the it all turned out.

Well, enough with all the reflective bull$hit. First point... why has it been so long since my last entry? Well, I must admit, I have an addiction... to Facebook.

Just before Christmas I decided to see what all the fuss was about and get myself on facebook. What is the great thing about Facebook you may be asking? Bugger all... it is one of the most useless, stupidest websites I have ever joined. Like I really needed to know that if I was a star wars character I would be Luke Skywalker, and that I have 80 something percent in common with the movie interests of someone I went to high school with and haven't seen or communicated with in over 5 years!

However, I can see the advantage of such a site for things like school or company reunions. I have joined the Facebook groups for both my Primary and Secondary schools... and found some people I had completely forgotten about. Though I keep reminding myself - Facebook is killing my Blog! My blog is sitting there going stale, while I try and create some stupid Vampire army on Facebook by virtually 'biting' all my friends.

If you are sitting there thinking 'This boy needs a life'... I agree. I think I have sunk to a deeper sadder depth than ever before.

Anyway... my Facebook confession is now out of the way.

Christmas was busy, and I am very happy its now all finished.

For Christmas day we had lunch at Mum and Dads, then went to Seans cousins for dinner down in Hoppers Crossing. Seen all the relatives that we won't see again til either next Christmas, a significant birthday, a birth, or a death. It was the standard be nice and pretend that you all share a lot more in common than a couple of DNA strands... however I have since been told off for not being totally nice about everyone... so next time I will just keep my mouth shut and make mental notes on how bonkers everyone is. I am sure you all can relate!

Well thats it for now... I will try and post again soon.

Yes facebook is strange with this poking and biting going on. I know I annoy you but stop biting me.

I too am glad Christmas is over I wasnt in a very festive mood knowing I HAVE to see the relatives AND be nice. Since you say wht you did and bore me I will tell you what I did. I went to my fathers and the usual lamb on a spit was on. I then have to make something usually a salad and rice. I HATE COOKING. Then of course I have to clean up cause poor daddy is getting on in years (69) even though he's more active than I am.

Being nice is very difficult especially with people you only see at this time of year come round I dont know why they bother I would not go anywhere only to emediate family and that is BAD enough.

Enough rambling from me and Im only joking I actually enjoy reading what youve been up to.

Hey Andrew,
A patron came in the library a few weeks ago, who would of made a great candidate for your facebook. Seriously, he looked like Dracula,himself. Long black hair,canine teeth and spooky black eyes(no doubt contact)- but I swear, I felt that I was in a bad B-grade horror movie...Brrrr..
Should of wore my Cross that day..seriously speaking, I'm just wondering , how did you log into your Primary & Secondary facebook. It sounds intriguing!!!
Myself,I am on facebook as well, hoping to expand a little more with other old work mates.. But don't know where to begin...
Any ideas??

Hey Kat,
For your schools, if you do a search of facebook of your school name, what you will sometimes find is like a profile in the results for your school. This will then have the option to 'join group'. It that easy. Once you join a group you can see who else has joined it, post messages, share photos ect. Once you join a group, a link to that group will also appear on your facebook profile under the heading 'groups'.

Groups are not just used for schools, they can also be used to find people from work places, who ahve similar interests ect. (for example I am also a member of a group called 'the keeping up appearances appreciation society').
