Something I’m dissatisfied with Facebook is that it is empty. The problem with social sites like this is that it’s social and the name of the game is status. The voices we hear on FB is managed presentation and there is always something missing. There is little in the way of deep truths but plenty of superficiality. (Incidentally, I don’t argue against superficiality — it’s sometimes really useful — but it’s hard to form solid bonds with others just on that.)
I think Facebook is quite a few rungs below blogging, in fact. While blogging may also be an exercise in managed presentations, it seems to me that the attention is a lot more focused on the individual. A Facebook News Feed doesn’t compare to reading what your friend wrote about his thoughts and feelings about his life. (In that way, Google Reader beats Facebook News Feed any day.)
(Okay so Facebook offers something different…)
OTOH, it’s a lot better to just talk to your friend in person. (Sigh, but I still maintain that I do a lot better by writing than by speaking.)

I have this thing for the tall ones (I mentioned this before). But I also have a thing for the ones who have slit eyes. Not small eyes, slit eyes. OTOH, I am also fascinated by big, clear eyes.
Hmm, I guess I like quite a bit about all kinds of man bits. But then again, how the features are put together is terribly important, of course.
One thing I’m not particularly fascinated about are legs. It doesn’t turn my on (or off, for that matter). Ahaha…

Anyone want to fly a pterodactyl kite? I found one at Simply Toys and it is AWESOME *channels Barney*

Isaac is looking for people to go to the zoo. Is anyone interested??? I am because I haven’t been there in AGES and I thought maybe some of you share my sentiments… it would be quite fun, methinks (also, I have the corporate card).

I wonder if making a determined effort to fall out of love is a good idea. It’s one of those things that is not about being true to yourself… But if that wasn’t the case, it would be like KK all over again. While it is something I did that was true to the end, it also seems like a pretty dumb decision all round (costing 3 years). I guess the only question is whether I could live with it.
Ah, irrationality, thy name art love.
It may be that I let my two rejections skew my views quite a bit (particularly KK’s… I guess he’s the warning of all warnings).
Sigh, I want my alternatives.
