Musings about facebook

In the event that I start dating someone and in the event that we stay together for a long time and in the event that we fall in love with each other and in the event that we both "friend" one another on facebook, I don't think I would change my relationship status.

Nope.

I wouldn't change it when we start dating.

I wouldn't change it when we get engaged.

I wouldn't change it when we get married.

I don't see how my facebook friends -- most of whom I don't speak to -- need to know about my romantic life. The friends I do care about would know because I communicate with them on a daily basis. Family would know because, well, they're family and odds are, I'd take my spouse to Guatemala at least once during our courtship, so they'd meet them.

But I personally find all the updates and all the "life event" changes to be a little attention-seeking? But that's just me.

Perspective on my emotional hide and seek.

Most years we quietly celebrate Jenn's birthday; it's just us seven, we have some dinner, and then we go home. For her birthday this year, she asked one of her fellow nurses, Milly, to read our handwriting and interpret our personalities. Milly's interpretation of me was not that far off-base; she inferred that I'm reserved, prideful, loyal, hard-working, stubborn, and creative --- but she also told me that I can come off as "cold". Now, it's interesting to me that what stuck with me most is the fact she called me cold. Not the fact she correctly guessed that I like to feel people out before baring my thoughts to them. Not the fact she told me I'm creative, but am wasting my talents. Nope. What affected me most about her reading is that I can come off as cold to certain people. I've been called so many things in my life (haven't we all?), but the things I've been called in the past have always had a more... well, a positive spin. I
