day two: the guilt sets in

NO!

NO!

Much akin to the voicemail left ignored and unchecked, the second day of facebook freedom has made me feel a bit guilty. Part of this comes from realizing that my facebook page is not accessible, thus no one could see my announcement of sabbatical and link to this here blog. I feel bad that I won’t be able to write on friends’ walls but overall I’m not missing it so much. I’ve been alarmingly productive–finished the rest of my reading for my russian lit class, wrote my performance paper, and started my 12 page paper two weeks early.

What? I mean, I’ve jokingly told people that I spend half of my life on facebook but this change has me wondering, was I? I’ve also been a bit more concentratingful during class when normally the existence of a wireless connection would mean the chance to escape and check stati updates once the dental arcade of lorises got a little boring.

MIKA! aka FIRST SEMESTER OF SENIOR YEAR

MIKA! aka FIRST SEMESTER OF SENIOR YEAR

Another thing I’ve realized is that its easier to pick up on interesting stories as in the fact MIKA will performing in Beverly Hills tommorow and I’M GOING. I might have been in my room checking newly posted pictures instead of hearing the story of my friend Randall meeting MIKA and Perez Hilton in an ice cream truck today. Okay, well maybe I would haveĀ  heard about it anyway buttttttttttttttttttt…What what? This is very exciting as Mika was the soundtrack to my senior year of high school–literally. Every newspaper deadline, “Grace Kelly” or “Love Today” was blaring. His music is so weird, wacky, and uplifting its hard not to wish you could wear flashy pink skinny jeans just as he does.
